Not sure if it matters much, to be honest. Even if another airport wasn’t on the list, chances are good it’s connected to at least one that is on the list. Less planes coming in, less planes going out.
I just had a chance to watch the video and think it’s coming together pretty nicely! I wonder if more different sound effects would help. I like the size of the level - I don’t think something like this could work as well in a giant room.
For an intro/tutorial, I think the first 1-2 minutes of the video would provide a pretty good outline for the player, especially if it’s text on the screen. Have them move a couple of things in sequence and then they know the gameplay.
This is definitely an interesting UX puzzle to solve from a game design perspective. I get what you're saying on finding the right balance.
Beyond sound alerts, some glow effect around an object might help? A tutorial at the start almost seems necessary so people get the mechanics, if you don't have that already. Just my $.02!
This sounds interesting; how are you guiding the player from one object to the next? E.g. if I'm looking at the fridge, I have to observe the painting shrink or that it's a lot smaller the next time I see it. And if there are a lot of objects in the room, how do I know what's relevant? I'm curious!

Hey! I'm an infrastructure engineer that is looking to make a change into web development or Kubernetes. Both of those are things I've picked up in my home lab to learn and I'm also a fan of self-hosting my own cloud services. I also picked up blogging last year and will occasionally write about things I'm working on over there.
I was looking for an organization system and came across Johnny.Decimal. I actually applied that methodology to organize my bookmarks and that's been pretty good. It does help that my browser shows all the folders and everything fits into something specific there.
For my files/folders though, it was a little much. I borrowed the concept of 10 subfolders though, and that became my new folder organization structure without the leading numbers.
High level folders are very broad - Entertainment, Financial, Food, Life, etc. Under there, they get specific quickly. Food > Cooking > Stews is for stew recipes, Food > Cocktails are for cocktail recipes, and so on.
Life > Housing > $address is for all the docs related to my current place. Life > Work > $company is for anything related to my current employer. Financial > Taxes > TY2024 is for 2024 tax docs, etc.
I found the numerical indexing to be overkill since each folder has, at most, 10 subfolders. Alphabetical sorting is much better for that - at least for me.
Really depends on the company, as others have said.
I've been remote for a couple of years and for last year, I got an extremely good performance rating - which gets harder the more senior you are. I also made sure my manager knew of my efforts, did lots of demos throughout the year, and led efforts with visibility.
Part of this is just knowing the management system, knowing your own manager, and saying the right stuff. The soft skills.
It may also be helpful if the company you work for is already distributed across the globe. It increases the chance that everyone is remote to each other, especially due to the pandemic.
I think the idea is better fixed WISP options which could potentially replace cable internet. If Verizon/T-Mobile suddenly have a home internet option based on 5G, then Comcast gets competition.
There's a plain text option in the Jira I use, that will show formatting in the usual forms, like *, _, etc. I also refuse to use the WYSIWYG editor since it's a pain.
I use an RSS feed, skim the headlines for what's interesting, and either read it then or save it to pocket. This also means that after a few days, I end up with 1000+ articles, but I can skim them 100s at a time.
