Indie game dev
posting things from the 160+ rss feeds I follow. You should see me post links in two chunks for when im reading stuff, once in the morning and once in the evening ET. If you want some of my sources for certain communities feel free to dm

The issue comes up when people youre talking to dont know what youre using as a comparison
Article mentions that if they mention something then its fair to say how youre similar / differences but the person youre talking to has to initiate that. For people on reddit everyone on reddit knows what reddit is as they are using it so comparisons to it can be made on posts there
Note its not my blog, just something I thought was interesting. Author is one of the people who has worked on factorio in the past
Ok then that with the post you linked its more like shitstorm with Lemmy rather than about Sublinks like in your title
When you say devs in the start of the post, which devs are you referring to. You never clarify
I dont know how larger games do it but it mostly depends on what kinds of enemies and what genre of game youre doing.
If you have a lot of enemies that will be spawned and despawned and they are mostly the same you can do an object pool where instead of destroying the object it gets hidden and added to the back of the pool for another enemy to spawn in as in the future by showing it and moving it to the correct spot
In terms of when to spawn it usually (assuming youre doing most genres) you can just spawn it right outside the view of the player when they hit a trigger. In games I usually make enemies are spawned on a timer since it tends to be more arcade like and in that case you usually just spawn them outside the range of the player in a random location around a radius after X amount of time has passed
Can give more specific things if I know the genre
Also downvote is likely someone from the all feed
All lemmy apps are sublinks apps, it has api compatibility
The demo site also isn’t an instance for accounts, its a demo
API pretty much already has parity, should be done way quicker than that
Theres more than just the api repo and pull requests are squashed in some of them making it show as less
Theyre two different softwares with two different apis, you can’t
Nah not mine, just one I found and thought was pretty cool. Added the source to my rss reader and probably gonna post more from them in the future
Also @popcar2@programming.dev, dont know if you know already but they showcased GodotOS in here

Updated the link to link to the official unity post
Heres what I had originally posted: https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/unity-apologizes-to-devs-reveals-updated-runtime-fee-policy
Keywords in what I said being “everyone on reddit knows what reddit is”. Had that there since a lot of comparisons of lemmy being similar to reddit happened on reddit itself but if people are talking on lemmy or elsewhere the comparison shouldnt come up unless the other user initiates that (especially if theres more people like you and we would then be sending traffic to reddit with the comparison)
