Reflecting on this year's highlights so far, participating in The Global Game Jam truly stands out. Collaborating with Amasha Das, Kritika Mishra, and Nishant Modi on "Kid Stacking" was an incredible experience. The game features two kids dressed in a trench coat, cosplaying an adult, and navigating challenges together to meet their date. Yup, that's the game! The reason I look back at this experience so fondly is that after 48 sleepless hours, seeing fellow jammers play our game and watching our intentions come to life in the gameplay was incredibly rewarding. As designers, isn't that what we aim for? Hence, it is important to document and reevaluate the design process because it helps us understand the journey from the initial idea to the final prototype.

You don't need to spend $500K / year in servers to run your online game at scale. Here's how I do it with 50K: 1. Optimize server builds Most server builds include unnecessary assets like video, audio and textures: they waste resources and increase server fragmentation. 2. Use existing services You don't need to reinvent matchmakers, inevntory systems or economies: you simply need to customize them with your settings. 3. Go lean It's easy to overhire and overengineer. 90% of times what you need is guidance, not a full time employee that adds complexity with new patterns / tech. A person that knows how to make multiplayer games can help you avoid mistakes early on, and save you a hundreds of thousands of $$$ over time. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> P.S: I post about Multiplayer Game Development 5x/week.
