The 7 deadliest game dev sins. Are you guilty of any of them?

Awesome Tuts

APRIL 8, 2022

These are 7 absolutely worst things you can do in your game dev project that will slow down your game, make it crash, not get you hired in a game studio, or get you fired if you work in one. This is something I see a lot in the game dev world, especially the tutorial world. If not, you have that inside Game Dev Pro. #5
