What about when the owner dies? What does the pet do, especially with a time alone with body/trapped as an important variable.

I am a gameplay programmer. My job is to build gameplay mechanics according to the games design. For my schooling I obtained a bachelor's degree at Full Sail University along with various certificates.

When it comes to the success of some other games, does your company ever reevaluate the game plan for what you're developing?
Example, there were a few companies who's devs were vocal in their criticism of Elden Rings success. I know the game isn't everyone's cup of tea, but when you have a game that does better than expected that goes against the typical formula, what are the talks like behind the scenes?

What's it like to be a game developer? Is it as simple as one may think? What goes on behind the scenes of development?

The Outer Worlds was compared a lot to Fallout. I personally thought some of the inventory and UI superficially did resemble fall out, but actually I really thought it felt much more like an early 2000s bioware game like Kotor, Jade Empire, or Mass effect.
What do you think?

Regarding programming, could you give a rough percentage of how many programmers started in "normal" software jobs and transitioned into game programming? Relatedly, how often do you see programmers leave the games industry for non-game-dev jobs?

Seems like this happens a lot at AAA studios, so I gotta ask. How many of your bosses have sexually assaulted you? Alternatively, how many of your subordinates have you sexually assaulted?

What is the hardest part of developing games? It doesn’t have to be directly related to developing per se.

We require proof for all posts on r/IAmA in order to prevent fictional AMAs from taking over the subreddit. Your proof needs to be something that connects the fact that you're doing an AMA with your identity. This could be something like a photo of you in a work uniform or at a relevant location with a sign that has your username and the date. It could also be documents (partially redacted if desired) with a note that has your username and the date. We're happy for you to get creative with your proof as long as it makes it clear to a reasonable person that the person doing the AMA does meet the criteria laid out in the topic of the AMA.
You can add proof to your post by uploading it to an image hosting site like imgur.com and adding that link to your Reddit post by clicking the Edit button.
If you can't think of a way to prove your claims publicly, you can also submit confidential proof to the moderators at this link, though bear in mind it may take some time to review.
Here's a link to the section of our wiki that discusses proof.
Please edit your post and add new proof, and reply here to let us know. If your post is more than a couple of hours old, it may be more effective to create a new post and include the proof from the start. Thanks!

In regards of CPU enemies. how is the difficult level adjusted? Does the game do any form of player prediction model?
Does it see your move thanks to the ~30ms of visual blindness of humans knows the move beforehand?
