In fact this is one of the things they want most. Seeing how things look outside the game is one thing but seeing them in game is what counts. | |

| Oct 1, 2014 at 12:57 | comment | added | concept3d | @Wardy Compile times are really important in C++. I have worked with solutions that took more than 15 mins to build, either because of the size of the project, aggressive use of templates or even developer laziness (including unnecessary headers). And I am sure this is the case with huge commercial games. | |
