    Glad to see that you make exercise an important, scheduled part of your day, TJ! I get the feeling that so many devs just slave away and burnout over their keyboards all day.

    Can just imagine. Set up camera, walk away, walk back to fetch camera, and you even walked far away. (steps reached? 100%) 😅 Then someone taking camera, then TJ fighting the bad guys for his content. Respect

    I feel like a lot of bug fixing is logic puzzles and problem solving, moreso than making a system in the first place.
    Does that make squashing bugs more satisfying? And do you have a strong preference between making something new or fixing something extant?

    • @TJGameDev
      @TJGameDev  3 місяці тому +1

      Making something new is definitely more fun, but bug fixing feels great when you get a tricky one resolved

    Maybe you already told the story and I missed it... but how are you full time? Did your game sell? Do you have lots of savings? Was curious because I myself am trying to figure out ways to go full time.

    Hey any chance you can post the link for the script for uploading the new build to steam from unity? nice hustle in the gym! I'm the healthiest I've been and can finally do pull ups for the first time in my life, but still a long way to go myself.
