@AlexandreVaillancourt hmm I read this is as very fast, sounds like 216 (I use a tool to measure BPM), but it dpeends on where you put the downbeats, could be 108. :)
@Ali.S Until we have a 3d modeling stack, gdse is the only stack where maya and 3ds max questions fit, and it's related to game dev in this case, so it is on topic. For now at least :)
Red Octane who made the controller contacted Harmonix saying they wanted to make something like Guitar Freaks for home use. Harmonix said yes.
So perhaps at a certain level their work on those games precipitated GH, but the genre did not become mainstream until GH because of its huge accessibility.
Activision bought Red Octane to get the IP, and had Neversoft take over software development. Neversoft are the ones who fucked up GHIII
Perhaps Neversoft fucked it up at Activision's request, I don't really know. But that was when the gameplay of GH got ruined.
fortunately Rock Band continued what I would call "correct" gameplay. :)
That will depend on your perspective. If you're looking from the creators' perspective, then yeah. But from players' perspectives, then it's GH. Choose one, both work. :)
@Sie your situation reminds me that I did not complete my Master's Degree, in part due to the research that was involved :P Can't write shit when your paper's going to be reviewed by a panel of PhD's... and you can't write shit when your text is going to be reviewed by the Internet :S
I think PaRappa is technically the first. So I'll say PaRappa started off the genre, Beatmania refined the genre with custom controls, Freq./Amplitude refined some existing concepts, and TH popularized it. Sound fair? Lol.
Someone who saw my critic comments on the greenlight invited me to three steam groups. It's absurd, these groups are (the biggest has more than 1.2k users) sort of garbage killers. they open threads when they see garbage / ripoffs /etc and most of the members are driven to give a positive/negative vote based on the mood of the thread
do you think there might be a chance to poll and discuss tyyppi gunhero there? I think it may be possible that many of his downvote came from there. I recognized some of the users who criticized gunhero. @Tyyppi_77 ??
Valve will probably evaluate the probability of a law case or something, and if they'll make profit out of selling it. If it's a blatant ripoff, they might just not want to put energy into it, but obviously, it passed the 'ripoff' test :P
(Been working on compiling my build since yesterday)
Ironically, I met at work a guy whose job it is to help developers get their code to compile when being set up by editors and such today.
I'm remembering this more and more. Android is great if you use it on a regular basis. Upgrading Android versions/ support libraries is a royal pain...
Okay, so now I'm down to 9 errors...
Interestingly enough, the number of warnings seems to be going up.
A lot of the warnings are deprecated code that I'm not going to do anything about, or debug code that's harmless.
I'm not going to completely switch major library chunks to get a piece of code to be state of the art for code I'm not planning on actively maintaining.
For reasons I don't understand, I had copies of files that I had previously moved in two locations. The old locations of course didn't have the updates, which caused a few issues.
