The future of many things in the face of AI innovations is uncertain, but I have some thoughts on the persistence of a human component to game development that I haven't heard others discuss.

Code organization and structure are important to consider when tackling large gamedev projects. After 12 years of Python gamedev experience and thousands of copies of games sold, I finally have a few thoughts on code structure techniques.

Making multiplayer games takes the surprisingly simple functionality utilized with socket programming and makes use of powerful abstractions in order to communicate game states/events.

👀 It's all coming together. I've mixed my multiplayer framework with my new VR first person shooter project made entirely in Python to get a surprisingly fun game!

Game development is a challenging skill to pick up.

The core features of Pygame are incredibly simple to pick up (yet challenging to master). This video walks through all of the core features in a way that would enable experienced developers to jump straight into using Pygame.
