Development report #1

It feels strange to migrate to a new platform, but the old one didn't bring much benefit. I felt like the time was ripe for a new place. The new site is just the first of many changes.

Unreal Engine

Ren'Py isn't inadequate software; however, I've become ambitious during my development process. I feel that a change is in order, and that change is the Unreal Engine.

Honestly, the primary reason is that I prefer C++ over Python. I see that Python isn't the right tool for the job. I found myself dealing with the usual Python errors, especially with typing. Naturally, these could be solved with libraries such as Pydantic. Except that it's not that simple.

Certain Python extensions aren't compatible with Ren'Py. This caused me to end up in trouble, and in the end, I decided to migrate away from Python. I believe that using Python is burdensome, and using certain tools to make the language tolerable is a bit risky.

But I personally prefer C++ over Python. It's also due to my personal experiences. After writing Python for years, I've grown quite bored with Python.

Website

I wasn't satisfied with the previous site. It was a bit of a placeholder, and eventually, I hated dealing with it. I decided to start over and take another try at web development. I'm not yet quite happy with the results, but I'm not going to spend too much time optimizing.

This site is still under construction, but currently I use it as a place for search engines, interested parties, and development reports.
