Today has been another bad day. Although, I did accomplish some tasks today, I went to the bank to renew my expired debit card and I went grocery shopping. I did study for a few hours today. I did do all my exercises and did my brain training as well, but, it was still not a good day. Not the best day it could have been anyway.
In yesterday's entry I wrote about how I didn't do anything self-harmful that day, but I did it again today. Ugh. I don't know what's wrong with me. Self-harmful is a very open-ended term by the way, it doesn't mean I am physically harming myself, although it could. I would view an activity such as watching anime or smoking or drinking or reading manga as self-harmful, and I may or may not be referring to these activities, but I did do actions that severely disappointed me.
Oh yeah, I studied Godot / Unity for a few hours today. Man. The battle between the game development softwares to master. I also took a look at React Native, which I have no experience with. I have experience with Flutter. I have some experience with both Godot and Unity. I have some experience with Swift. I feel like React Native, Flutter, and Swift are just limited in what I want to do.
I think games are basically the ultimate expression and creativity of software, they incorporate aspects from all software related disciplines. Web development is pretty niche, so is security, so is app development, so are specific fields like computer graphics or music and sound, or even physics and math, meanwhile video game development literally incorporates aspects from all these disciplines, you even need to have a website to publish a game or app, it's required. So game development is the ultimate form of software development, in my opinion. My software and web development career are a cakewalk in comparison. But at the same time, game development offers some of the lowest salaries and income, for no reason.
So anyway, that's why I want to learn a game development framework like Unity or Godot. I hate Unity's massive size, but I am picking it up again just due to having much more capability and adoption than Godot. As great as Godot is, I personally think it is much more intuitive than Unity, right now it has too many flaws with what I want to do. Unity just supports everything and can do everything, although it sucks. I hate it too.
I saw the apps you can make with Flutter and React Native. Although arguably the potential is limitless, it would be extremely hard to make a 3D game or even 2D game using such frameworks, or even using something like Swift. It is definitely possible with Swift, but you have to make the entire engine from scratch, and that can just take more effort. The basic idea is that you can make literally anything you want from a video game framework, even regular apps. What is more creative and unique than a video game screen? I don't think you have as much freedom with Flutter and React Native or even Swift using SwiftUI, because you are constrained to the "app" style kind of layout. Yes those options are perfectly centered and everything, but what if you didn't want them to be? You don't have the option to make a "bad layout" because you are constricted to a certain appearance with those frameworks.
But yeah Unity I think is still pretty hard to learn. It's also not great with Dvorak, which I use. Godot is compatible with Dvorak, in that way it is significantly better, but for no reason, Unity isn't.
I don't like using AI for development. It's not good. It kills the human mind.
