No budgetary and monetary constraints. How would you prefer to develop your games? How to you feel about 3rd party tools and engines that make gamedev more efficient? (like Unity or Gamemaker)

In an ideal world I wouldn't be stressed and tired as shit all the time so that could actually make continuous progress with little effort.

I think a programing language is a 3rd party tool too.

*snap fingers*
A wild game appeared!
*snap fingers*
It does exactly what I want it too!
*play game*
It's a learning game! It adapts itself to my ever-changing vision!
*check mail*
It's my monthly 10 grand for being a member of modern civilization!

What, not your ideal world?

Jonathan Blow (Braid, The Witness) thinks so too! Smiley

Personally I think that programming languages are flexible enough to not constrain me as much as - say - an Engine like Unreal or Unity or a toolkit like Gamemaker. So I'm not sure I'd feel like I want to start with my own language. I wouldn't want to build my own hardware either.

If it's that easy where's the fun in doing it?

No need to make money from it, but time to work on it many hours per day, and can afford to pay someone for graphics. Doing all the design and programming myself 100 %.

Emacs is a third-party tool right? And SDL is a third-party library so I don't have to do everything from scratch. Probably make some game-specific tools for each game, but not likely using anything else. Maybe Tiled.

Ideally, I would have enough money to sit and program games all day. Not have to go to school or work; just make games.

I think that tools such as GameMaker or Unity are great because you can make high quality products with them in a short amount of time. They're perfect for people like me.

If I had enough money I would open a Cyber cafe with a back room game studio. The latest stable build would be available on all the cyber cafe computers for anyone to play (while we record their play sessions and analyze how people interact with our game). We would hold regular game jams, digital art contests, and sponsor game development classes for the public. Any one who shows talent would be offender an internship and eventually a job in the game studio.

Me having no life at all and not being in the hormone induced craze of high school So I can work on my game on weekdays instead of weekends.

I swear to god I'll finish my game by the time I'm OUT of high school. That actually doesn't sound bad now that I think of it.

At least not in their current form.

My team of highly trained, skilled, obedient dolphins would do all the work I didn't want to do.
As for everything I do want to do, some highly trained sharks could give me pointers and mentoring so that I could do the best job possible.
And the Union for Sea Creatures in Game Development would provide all these creatures at a highly subsidised of raw fish.

...probably something along those lines really.

It does exactly what I want it too!
Ideally you can only know that by knowing the code;) The problem is not with the world, it is with your vision.

That's why we're here. To fix video games.
