New programming video! This is the second one in my series about programming a PC strategy game from scratch in C++ using directx. This one is all about where the code starts, and the flow of the code into the main game loop. Enjoy! And share/like/whatever :D. youtu.be/_rrH6MPrPGM

Considering making a series of videos about the programming behind Ridiculous Space Battles. I code from scratch in C++, no unity, my own engine using directx9. I use Visual Studio and irrklang for sound. Thats about it. I need to remind myself it *does not matter* if not many people are interested!

I had forgotten how much progress I had made with this little project =) I have been deep in engine code rewriting the transform system, sometimes I need a visual. #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment #solodev #customgameengine #screenshotsaturday

Viv is 100% correct here. Your options are always one of three:
1. Do not make an indie game.
2. Get funding, usually by making something that fits a very narrow and useless definition of "safe", and subsequently losing agency over your production reality.
3. Have another income or means.

ok but for real if you want to make a really good indie (or AA) games the number one way is "be financially comfortable via other means"
blue prince guy owned a popular website generating income, toby fox was a successful musician...
frankly if we had a UBI youd get SO MANY GOOD GAMES

If you need to load .fbx models I definitely recommend ufbx, easy to compile (one #include) and pretty simple to work with
