I Made A Game Prototype

Looking for people to test my prototype game and tell if it's actually fun

Hey everyone! I've been working on a small game prototype in Godot and I've reached the point where I need other people to actually play it. It's still very early and definitely not polished. I'm mainly trying to answer one question: Is the core gameplay actually fun?

It's like a 5 minute game. I'd really appreciate it if a few people could give it a try and give me honest feedback especially:

  • Was the game fun to play?
  • Was anything confusing?
  • Did you understand what you were supposed to do?
  • Did you get bored or feel like there wasn't enough to do?
  • What would you change or improve?
  • Would you play it again?

Play the prototype: https://zreirapper.itch.io/road-network-simulation

It's a browser build, so you should be able to play it without downloading anything.

Thanks to anyone willing to give it a try! Even a few minutes of feedback would be really helpful.

3 months in and still can't land an offer. Is the market really this bad?

I'm a fresh computer engineering graduate and I've been applying to MNCs for almost 3 months now. At this point I'm honestly starting to question myself.

I feel like I have a solid skill set for an entry-level engineer. I can code in C/C++, Python, JavaScript, work with Linux, build full stack applications, do embedded programming, work with microcontrollers, RTOS, communication protocols, firmware, and I've also done FPGA and hardware related projects. I have internship experience and a decent portfolio with projects that I'm genuinely proud of.

The frustrating part is that many job descriptions match my background almost perfectly, especially in software, firmware, systems, or embedded roles. Yet most of the time I either get rejected without any feedback or never hear back after applying. I've had interviews too, but they rarely turn into offers. I'm not expecting companies to hand me a job just because I have projects. I know there's more to hiring than technical skills. But after months of applications, it's hard not to feel like I'm missing something that nobody tells you.

I'd really appreciate hearing from people who were in the same position because right now it's starting to feel pretty discouraging.

Got offered a BMC Engineer role. Looking for career advice?

Hi everyone, i recently graduated in computer engineering and received an offer for a BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) Engineer position. From what I understand, a BMC engineer works on the firmware/software that manages and monitors servers including things like remote management, hardware monitoring, and low-level system functionality. The role seems to be a mix of embedded software, Linux, server hardware, and some customer work.

I'm wondering if this is a good first job to start my career. Will starting as a BMC engineer open up more opportunities later? Would you recommend it as a first job? What kind of roles do people usually move into after a few years?

Need some advice

Got offered a BMC Engineer role. Looking for career advice.

Hi everyone, I recently graduated with a degree in Computer Engineering and was offered a position as a BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) Engineer.

From what I've read, the job involves developing and maintaining firmware for server management, working with Linux, server hardware, and low level software. It seems to sit somewhere between embedded software and server infrastructure. Since this would be my first full time job, I'm trying to figure out whether it's a solid career path. Is BMC engineering a field with good long term prospects, or is it quite specialized?

For those who have experience in BMC, firmware, or embedded systems, would you recommend starting here? What career paths have you seen people move into after a few years?

I'd really appreciate any advice or personal experiences. Thanks!
