Downloaded installer tried failed

Followed this

I have recently tried to install Python 3.4 as an alternative installation on my system in an attempt to familiarise myself before migrating code. My main Python installation is 2.7.6. I tried the 64 bit installer for Windows, but it came up with an error message There is a problem with thi...

Each of those steps

Restarted computer

Redownloaded and tried again failed

Am close to giving up on windows and just log in ubuntu to use python

:(

ALL I DID WAS CHANGE THE PATH FOR IT TO INSTALL xD

There were python registery files before got rid of all of that

@AidanMueller got back from that mission?

I am using Picture in Picture mode on my monitor using my computer for both sources

someone mentioned Offworld Trading Company... it's Early Access on Steam now, and there's a Mac version. So I'll definitely be trying that. :)

That was me

looks cool

though they say it's not military, but there are what appear to be military options. I'm itnerested to see how it turns out.

3:28 AM

I got a call from Nintendo today

they want Tallowmere on a console?

well, I applied months ago on a whim... this is the first time I've heard back lol
but yeah, they talked with me and in the end invited me to their Wii U dev program thing
so I will investigate and we'll see what happens
but apart from that, NDA lol

3:57 AM

that's pretty cool!

:)

4:40 AM

damn dude!

thats sick

:D
I'll see if I can make it happen eh

I've heard shady things about the big publishers... I've no real experience but be careful

horror story aside that is crazy good news

I think Nintendo's position for indie devs is kind of like Steam, where there's no middle-publisher if you will

like say Activision is a publisher

but someone else develops a game, Activision "publishes" it, yet it's then sold on different outlets like Steam or in stores

gotcha... incoming bad pixel art and 8bit randomness

hmm shouldn't have taken damage for jumping on him

hah, nice

I remember reading something on GDSE recently about jumping collision like that

arr, search ain't helping

4:52 AM

I think I need to use a seperate "jumpAttack" collider

because basically hes hitting me same time im hitting him both damages happen? maybe?

yeahh, probably need to do a bit of checking
and somehow ensure the "we've jumped on the enemy successfully" check happens before the "oops we took damage" check

probably take velocity into account

short of that my camera looks really jittery here

also I guess I should "bounce" off the mobs head

gamedev is intense lol

maybe these are too fine details :D

nahhh, they're all good
but yeah they add up

you play it, test it, then think "hmm I think it needs this"

4:55 AM

every minute

and then keep doing that til it feels like you've covered everything

soo basically never

lol

I either end up feeling satisfied enough to call it good enough, or totally over it enough to call it good enough, whichever comes first

there was a good gamedev article i read recently, lemme find

something about adding in your end boss early on

so you can make your game feel like it has an ending, to help get that proper game flow going early on

oo

>Now think about this. Once you have a playable game, what is really stopping you from releasing it and calling it a day? Nothing. If a person can get from the beginning of your game to the end of your game without the game actually crashing, your game is done. However, if your game doesn't have an ending, you have a problem. Most games these days have some kind of ending state to let the player know that they've conquered it. If you don't yet have an ending, make one.

I remember when I added in my death sequence, You Have Died, and tallied up coins and rooms and stuff
and to then have you go back to the start
made the game feel whole

5:01 AM

hmm last boss first

It makes sense in a way, because otherwise you're forever chasing a possible never-ending, always-increasing scope

thats pretty much been an accurate description of all my game dev
