in Star Citizen
First saw this linked on MassivelyOP so credit to them for finding it and to the author for making it.

Imagine how this multi-generational title would look without all these incredible time-saving tools the Devs created...

    A lot of the dev tools are really incredibly useful and save a lot of time.

    Usually devs try to do them earlier in the project with a smaller team, and then the team size is expanded when those tools are somewhat ready to use.

    This explains how they've been able to deliver the promised number of star systems and planets on schedule!

    Disclosure, I didn't watch the video because I have no skin in this and just don't care. As far as marketing claims coming from corporate to bolster public opinion, color me cynical and sour. I'm not a huge fan of that at all.

    However, I will say that every single person I know who has used Unreal 5 loves it. Every developer feels more productive using tools they like, and I think, at the least in this case, it doesn't inhibit compared to UE4. So, it should be a wash at worst, and a strong improvement for some.

    Having to do work in tools I hate does make me less productive. I hate them for a reason and that's because they get in my way for whatever reason(s). When I love a tool or engine, it's because it removes pain points and helps me do "the thing" easier.

    I did watch the video, was interesting to see how many tools they've touted, including making tools to improve the tools.

    So where exactly is the speed then?

    Unfortunate that they don't have an elevator tool.
