  1. Don't roll out your own crypto suite
  2. Don't write your own game engine
  3. Don't create your own OS from scratch
  4. Don't build another multipurpose framework
  5. ...

Whom am I kidding, go do all of that! Learn why you most probably shouldn't 😆

    1. Don't make an MMORPG as your first ever game with only you and your one friend as devs

    Yet depressingly common in MMORPG circles. People tend to vastly underestimate the amount of work needed to get an remotely playable MMO off the ground.

    What is this smell? Is that the smell of self experience?

    What if I make an OS that's also a game engine?

    Hear me out: a fully fledged desktop environment, like KDE Plasma or Gnome, but it's a 3D world - "windows" are just walls, the file explorer is just a bunch of procedurally generated condos, and you get a Gmod physics gun to move stuff around.

    Those are easy, unless you want 128bit resolution, relativistic effects, collisions, or fancy stuff like that.

    PS: Bonus points if you write one without collision detection, then sell it as a game on Steam.

    PS2: Super Bonus points if you make it 64bit, then keep crowd-funding it for 10 years.
