“What matters is the end product, whether it’s a game or an engine”. Well said!
Tim Sweeney (@TimSweeneyEpic): When I was writing Unreal Engine 1, my time was divided as follows:
Around 30% went to seriously deep coding on hard problems: assembly language texture mappers, C++ BSP trees, data persistence, object oriented systems design, and networking.
Around 70% was just typing and
