Hobbyist game dev
We have the same experience then XD
In my experience, the learning curve felt similar to Dwarf Fortress.
For starters, there's the Guidebook and the Wiki.
You probably also want to keep a Keyboard Reference handy.
This guy has a full run you can watch,(or not, that's LOOONG)
For me, I think it was just a combination of watching people play and banging my head against it until things start to sort of make sense. Kind of like dwarf fortress lol.
The department head was an absolute bag of dicks. This guy was so bad, you would think that he was doing a bit or something. He would use company resources for his side projects and would constantly try and get us to work on one of his dipshit app ideas. He would find any excuse to travel to remote sites so he could cheat on his wife with the local sex workers, and worse, would drag us around with him as his entourage or some shit. He would stand behind us and watch us while we worked. Every few days he would partially read an article espousing some new technology and then give us shit for not using it.
We generally learned to work around his shenanigans and even got pretty successful at self managing and knocking out projects, but after a while he decided to show us all who's boss and siloed us completely. The whole team left within a month of each other.
On a side note, to this day, the lead dev from that team is my absolute biggest hero. That dude bore the brunt of the dep head's stupidity, kept us sane, kept us on task, let us vent, managed projects, dealt with customers, and was an all around awesome guy.
Sorry! I really didn't mean for that to come off as rude as it sounded. I just meant, worst case scenario, if the server ends being a massive pain to manage/fund then you shouldn't feel obligated to keep it up. I wonder if the lemmy community has something similar to the mastodon admin discord group where you could maybe compare notes with other admins about storage/config issues.
I love the style used in CGs from old school PC-98 VNs. I've been wanting to get into them ever since reading 16-bit Sensation. I think the fictional company in the manga(Alcohol soft) is even supposed to be a a reference to Demon City's devs (Cocktail soft).
thanks for using Leebra!
