Question for Unity engine pros: Having my own finite state machine on top of using the Animator is starting to be kind of a pain/redundant. Should I just switch over to the Animancer API or is it worth it to really learn the ins and outs of the Animator if I want to get into the industry?

nothing bruises my ego more than when a game asks me if I'd like to try again on a lower difficulty.

Why are games that are super hard so popular? This seems to be a goal in game design these days and I totally don't understand it.

Accessibility game jams are awesome!
Blind accessible strategy game is not the only one we made. This one had different design - a game helping kids with limb control difficulty learn to read, controlled with eyes
Here is my son testing it (Polish audio)

I’m recognizing a pattern as a beginner programmer. Coding is either:
- name the thing this thing.
- make the thing this thing.
- if this thing happens, do a thing.
- put these things in a thing box, and do things to them.
Am I missing any?
