Bad code that works only matters when you need to touch it again. Either for Bugfixes or Expansion. You don't write good code for the customer, you write it for yourself and your colleagues.

Internet Person :
I always like to say "The players don't play the codebase, they play the game." A great example is I once interviewed am exec of a major MMO company for a magazine and they said "The game is in the best state it's ever been" and I pushed back saying that several years ago the game was more stable and playable and bug-free and the server coped with much larger groups. And I'll always remember he started talking about the codebase being more maintainable and having worked through all their technical debt and such. And he was right, but that didn't translate into benefits for players. We don't play the codebase.

It dosent matter for something like a small indie game. Once it’s done, you never touch it again. It’s terrible if it will ever need to change in the future.

I'm in the middle of refactoring my code for how the game handles interactions like opening UI or other stuff,the code worked before with no issue,not even performance wise you don't really have to do much when using handled languages like C# (MOST OF THE TIMES) (unless you are like yandere dev) what matters is if you can read and program more efficiently,most of the time performance gets crippled by bad topology in 3D models that being said optimize what you can,always think about making it work in the first place and never give up,game dev is fun but only if you don't burnout (unlike me)

it's not a good idea to make excuses for bad code look at league of legends look at ff14 they made excuses for bad code and now they struggle because of it

This applies to everything in software. Obviously there are best practices you should generally follow, but you can over engineer something thinking it’s “elegant” and end up just wasting your time with unnecessary complexity. If it works and isn’t a nightmare to maintain who cares.

I work at a game studio as a programmer and we sometimes help studios port games, oh my god some of the games with literally millions of downloads would make undertales code look like a work of art.

Obscure Gods 🖤 Indie Game Dev :
Good take! I like to look up how to do stuff better after I already implemented, so I can do it better on the next project 😂

game dev is horrible , it is made to do stuff fast and redoo. not for maintainability or for the future. it is the worst

"there will always be a more optimized way" except maybe for the original rollercoaster tycoon. that might be as optimal as it gets

gatekeeping coding doesn't exist. It exists only because companies get greedy

if the code works it works you just document for fixed and colleagues indeed it can be the biggest unintelligible mess ever but if it works it works

It would be cool to see a review of if concepts like DI are used in godot or how to handle multiple stages the right way in godot

I've seen some leviathan class blueprints on the unreal discord, apparently they didn't know arrays exist as a variable type
