Brianna Townsend on Nostr: my pithy custom engine advice is don't get distracted by large architecture things ...
my pithy custom engine advice is don't get distracted by large architecture things people like to talk about. Add things you need for your game right now.
The custom engine trap is thinking you need to be writing code for every game you will ever make in the future and it's a fool's errand.
Make the bits you need for the game you're making. Solve the problems you have today.
Do it wrong 👏 do it bad 👏 fix it later 👏
