- actually there is, and it's called "the ps4 is incapable of running UNBEATABLE"

View full threadit’s not blanket overhead; we use a pretty stripped down render pipeline all-told it’s really just one thing: not enough video memory - even given our super efficient sprite packing, thousands of frames of animation add up. we’ve been working on optimizations elsewhere but that’s hard to resolve.
- Thank you for clarifying, you've explained this really well. I know it's silly but dev work really excites me, I love learning *why* things are the way they are.

- I appreciate you answering! I didn't even think of the memory implications. Especially these days when 2K and 4K are so prevalent. Even running as efficiently as possible, would make it very difficult with the ram size and speed back then without compromising on clarity. I have yet to touch shaders

- I won't do it personally, because my brain doesn't store the knowledge genAI gives me, but I have run some refactoring queries and was surprised to see it did have some efficiency suggestions which I paraphrased in my own way to cement the knowledge.
- Met so many awesome devs last year. I hope my work flow is faster this time around, I want to cover way more indie games.

- I only ask because I'm using godot now for a small hobby project and it's so easy to use, but I'm not sure how much is a trade-off by using the engine - how "light" is the engine used? 1% overhead? 10% sort of thing? Is this line of questioning even along the right path?
- (I have searched for this before, but not really got answers from established developers)
- Legit question: Is this because of the engine it's running on? My assumption is that if the game had its own engine, optimisation *can be* tighter but the work is greatly increased? I did an interactive digital media diploma using unity, and I suspect it has overhead that causes blanket limitations.

- I've been using zoho mail because it's cheap, and I don't need much space.
- I 'member this blowing my mind, but in reverse, because it was the BBC F1 theme song and then I heard the whole song one day, and the second half went on and I'm like "omg it's an actual song, not just a theme song for f1?" wholly unexpected.

- It's awesome to be an Adventurer of life. It's like being a polymath out of a desire to learn as much as possible in this mortal life.
