Cold cold cold... We need to change our windows...

Who removed my message? I've just tried to show how companies make bad games!

I did.

Popping in here, dumping a message like this, then leaving and saying nothing about it is kind of rude and spammish...

Sorry.

The main reason was a question about how do they sell games without even testing them

I've seen a game once (airport tycoon, if I recall), where the tutorial, where it showed how you could place buildings, did not work correctly. It was showing the player how to place buildings, so it tried to do thand, then figured out that it could not, then skipped to the game.

The same. Just 10 minutes, at the tutorial. Character started to fly around room without even letting control him correctly.

I guess they keep the tutorial for the end, and they don't have time to finish it and/or test it?

You can re-post the link if you feel like it :)

Ah, thanks, but, it's not necessary. Btw, the game's release date November 9, 2018 so they might already try fix it.

It's likely :)

-16 in Toronto

how do you people do this :O

it was -22 yesterday here. woke up this morning: feels like -32 because of the wind.

And, well, we dress appropriately :)

I'm at the Victoria & Albert video game exhibition.

@AlexandreVaillancourt my god stay warm!

@GabrieleVierti Yeah, heaters are having a hard time to keep up, mostly due to the fact that our windows are old and need to be replaced. We dress more inside too :P

oh that must be awful ahahaha :D

That was a good exhibition. Lots of concept art, but also planning documents like mood boards. Also several short films (5-20m) and installations examining game design, diversity, violence, etc.

oookay, I have some solid basics now, I just need to make art stuff and replace the placeholders :D

@doppelgreener I really envy 'murica in that regards sometimes as there are just a few game dev conventions happening around here

@Kay here there are none... like ever

@GabrieleVierti where u from ?

Italy sigh

I could've guessed that. Well I'm lucky enough that there is something happening around here. There is like a local monthly game dev meeting here why I sometimes attend

havent had much time this weekend. But changed from single character turns to during a whole turn you can controll all characters into all attack at once

cool ahah :D

nice attack animation

I've added iTween to tween it cause I did not feel like doing it myself

Ah

Well it looks nice anyway, so who cares

Only people who might see the code :p

But yeah no one cares. Best part its not completely overkill unlike other tween libraries

working on a test robot

that looks cool, what is it for ?

I'm making a game called "arenabots"

oh yeah, that!

yup

:D

Are you gonna make like build your own bot option or rather premade ?

I was thinking premade robots would be better at first, since the gameplay would be more "under control"

but adding a "create your own bot" mode in the future should not be impossible

sounds aight. Creating your own bot might also slow you down b4 creating a working prototype

exactly :P

Model looks dope though, too bad I lack any creative skills

In the end, the game will be completely free, without hidden "pay to win" mechanics

Just play with a friend and shut up :D

You get better at something the more you practice it

Yeah you are right. At my point though I don't have the time time to split between programming and other things. I just outsource whatever I cant do

ahahahahaha :D

@Kay Oh and by the way, I suck at drawing

like a lot

So I guess what you are trying to tell me is that modelling is way different from drawing/texturing

... i guess

@Kay sssort of

when you are 3D modeling you should always follow a reference of some sort. When modeling a complicated hard surface 3D model like a car artists usually follow blueprints:

Now that I think of it I actually do some "artistic" stuff for my game

Voice acting as well particle effects. It aint that bad :p

Nice

So you have a nice, deep voice? like Morgan Freeman?

Just versatile and a little editing comes a long way

cool.

Like you can get sth like this soundcloud.com/user-282642961/fur-crothajong with little to none editing

broken link :(

soundcloud.com/user-282642961/fur-crothajong/s-1j1jr

nice

can't wait to play your game then

with all these demonic voices :P

This is more visually appealing than a cube

I name it D.D.D.

Dis dude dangerous

That's it

It's his final name

I don't care anymore

In your honor :P

haha

Oh, so you're creating something like Robot Arena?

@V.7 yup :)

it's a local multiplayer game

a couch game as the cool kids say ;)

Oh, neeeeeat

What do you think? Is that okay behavior for Win7? imgur.com/a/ikZ3GN8
