Thankfully, we live in an era where entire AAA games can be written almost completely from scratch by one person. Not sarcasm. If I wrote the code myself, I know where almost everything is that could go wrong. It should come as no surprise that I do not use a debugger.
Depends what you mean by "writable". Triangle-based (software) 3D rendering engines aren't difficult but most people used COTS like Unity or actual 3D hw APIs at least, but it's all the shit that goes around them, the assets, physics, and game logic that sucks.
Back in college, we had to write a constructive geometry object renderer that used GLUT simply as a 2D canvas for a scanline-oriented triangle->trapezoid engine that roughly mirrored the capabilities of OpenGL with Phong and Gouraud shading, texture mapping, and bump mapping. It wasn't hard when each piece was broken down and spoon fed (quaternions and transformation matrices). The hardest part was creating a scene of complex object parts to model the real world programmatically.
Find me a bank that will give me a 150k collateralized loan and after 2 years I will give you the best AAA game you've ever played. You choose all the features. Vulkan/PC only. If you respond back with further features and constraints, I will explain in great detail how to implement them.
I suspect you're trolling, but if not then this is the kind of thing that kickstarter or indiegogo are designed to solve: give me money on my word, in 2 years you get license keys to this thing, assuming it materializes. I was going to also offer peer-to-peer platforms like Prosper but I think they top out at $50k
I agree with you, but I would prefer to not socialize the risks of the project among thousands of individuals, because that lessens their ability to collect against me legally.
By keep just one party to the loan, and most important, by me offering collateral to the loan in the event I do not deliver, then it keeps enforcement more honest and possible.
Furthermore, the loan contract should be written in such a way that the game is judged by the ONE TIME sales performance of the game (no microtransactions) and not qualitative milestones like features or reviews. Lastly, I would add a piece of the contract that says two years after the game is released, it becomes fully open source, similar to the terms of the BSL.
This is the fairest thing to the players, the bank, and the developer, and it lets the focus be absolutely rock solid on shipping something fun ASAP.
It is possible to run ML workloads on for example AMD devices via Vulkan. With newer extensions like cooperative matrix, and maybe also in the future some scheduling magic exposed by the driver through a new extension, the remaining single digit percent gap CUDA has will evaporate.
I try to avoid meds usually but sometimes gotta wonder if people who flag+kill comments about GLP or steroids are just thin and buff people who lucked out on genetic lottery and secretly want to maintain their superiority.
Like why, gene editing a baby is okay but if your gene expression sucks and your parents couldn't afford crispr you now are to suffer the entire life from body dysphoria and bringing up an easy way out is to be silenced or stigmatized?
What are downsides exactly? The rich do these things all the time right?

Because when I do it – it is Gods gift/destiny/I deserve this/whatever other bullshit reason to maintain my edge, when you do it – it is because you're weak/just train like others do/you don't deserve it/whatever other bullshit reason why it is your natural place to be there.
There was a comment recently how it is "cringe" when you're investing in your looks and learn how to date, because apparently if you weren't born with innate ability to attract – you're supposed to stay this way and be miserable forever.
Ironically, GLP-1 causes a great improvement in kidney and liver function too, and studies are ongoing for a multitude of other weight-unrelated (as well as related) diseases.
Everyone should be on it. Benefits for non-overweight people with no addictions are rather marginal but there are almost no downsides.
Lots of things I don’t know how to do and can spend time learning, many will be better use of that time and effort than reimplementing a game engine from scratch vs using middleware.
Because we still care. Imagine if your plumber showed up and started working without turning the main water supply line off? That's the equivalent of what most "software engineers" are doing these days, and then they claim that you're the problem.
Why are skilled people not
willing to, in the best case, perform free labor, and in the worst case, expose themselves to multiple physical and non-physical risks?
