As a software dev who's participated in a couple of game jams and several group projects,

  • I'd say that anyone that claims to be a designer but has no programming experience is typically incompatible with any project
    • and it's due to the disconnect of understanding just how difficult it can be to translate certain design tasks into functional code

Hey there, champ! I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I'm afraid I have to disagree with your statement. Game development with effort or coding skills? Today I'm gonna show you how to do it without any effort, it's like becoming an astronaut by watching the big bang theory!

Let me break it down for you. You see, creating a video game is as easy as pie. Typically, you would use lines of code. But what if I told you that you can gather a bunch of random images from the internet, throw them into a a computer, and voila! You've got yourself the next "Call of Duty" blockbuster. Going by standards nowadays people will be lining up to buy your game, guaranteed!

Who needs coding when you can just use a magic wand and poof your game is magically coded? Just like that! Forget the coding aspect of it, you can make a game effortless! How do I do this you ask me? Well, If you really want to master the art of game development without lifting a finger, I have the perfect solution for you. Introducing my revolutionary course: "Effortless Game Development Masterclass"! In this course, you'll learn the ancient secrets of game creation without any pesky coding skills or effort required. You'll be churning out awards winning games in no time, all while lounging on your couch and eating Cheetos. ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘Š Dm me if you want more info for the affiliate link

You have to put /s in the end, because people in this day and age can no longer recognize sarcasm, probably because we all spend way too much time on the Internet.

That's not sarcasm, that's satire

that's real cringe dude

might I suggest adding /s at the end,

  • not sure if that would help as reading that was painful

You absolutely nailed it LOL. Those flashy courses with absurd prices and "funnel techniques" prey on idea-people who are scared of code like whale sharks on plankton.
