Hey everyone! been a bit since I ran my last AMA so am running a new one. Feel free to throw down some questions below and ill answer them. (my AMAs are more asynchonous but everyone should get answers)
I'm a student in university and typically do both web and game development. Youll likely have seen me in the instance doing things related to community management to make sure things are running smoothly
Pangora is the name of the programming.dev lemmy fork thats been getting built up slowly with pangora-ui being the new frontend being made (very early alpha is up at https://beta.pangora.social and community on programming.dev is at [email protected] )
Other misc topics I can answer about: I compose music & make pixel art, my favorite games are minecraft, SCP:SL, everhood, battlerite, and metal slug 3, and recent games ive been playing are Mistward, Revita, and Puzzmo
Are you afraid of crunch in the gaming industry?
Yeah crunch in gamedev tends to be pretty bad. (Although there's also fun crunch in gamejams I bring upon myself but thats less of a job)
The game industry in general is something I'm likely going to avoid for a primary job due to low pay and stress and just be something I do as a hobby. Been enjoying doing web dev in internships
