Its easy to make complex node graphs for shaders these days, and debugging can be a headache, especially if compile times are slow.
Make a "workbench" material and shader and just copy the bit that is killing your soul slowly in.
Once you get it right, copy/paste it back in.
"Static Switches" let you make variants to your shaders. But we warned... I have seen a few "tutorials" suggesting making a master shader with a bajilliom switches.
Women who face abuse at work do so doubly. First the abuse and then when you call out the men who did it you are attacked for 'craving attention', 'seeking to profit', trying to cover your work failings.
Then you get a third whammy as men who witnessed it stay silent.
Either way you lose the job, the stability and the trust, and have to pay for therapy to heal the damage, and lawyers if you even dare to stand up for yourself legally.
Meanwhile the assholes keep their jobs, and get to enjoy a career.
One trick you can use in adding replayability to a game is to break up some parts of your level into discreet prefabs/blueprints that can be shuffled.
This can be as simple as switching a few corridors or rooms around, or just changing enemy or item placement but the effect is the same... players cannot rely on their memory of the layout, and can jolt them into being in the present, rather than playing by wrote.
Having parts of levels in prefab slabs help you test them separately.
You don't need many of these to create enough variety to cause this effect and it doesn't shake up the narrative.
Following on from previous discussion vis a vis #weekenderGames I need to stress that a good game is worth more than a long game.
A good long game is a great thing and deserves a good price, but the length of the narrative does not equate to price tag alone.
A short game that is brilliant deserves a good financial reward.
A short game with huge amounts of replay value is well worth the price tag of a sprawling epic.
What I am saying is push down your expectations of duration of the core playthrough, and allow shorter games.
If we shift the format to shorter play throughs, we can focus more on making an industry that is more stable, games that are more polished, and faster releases.
What sucks is all the devs who are currently being reminded over and over of the abuse we ourselves went through with the #blizzard situation coming to light on twitter.
Its important we share this stuff so everyone knows, and hopefully we can get real change. But triggering AF
The industry is full of this vile crap. And it has been devastating for many, many amazing people.
Been there. Done that. Got the scars. Got the PTSD. Got the NDAs. And not just from one company.
