@Jon I'm not worried about that, in that sense I'm already sold but what I'm on edge about is setting requirements precise enough that we'll both be happy with it indefinitely
My math education got screwed up early on, my elementary school said they can't give a 6th grader calculus and I basically dropped out of school completely after that lol
why is this resulting in a casting error ... <code sample> ... ah you need a new game engine for that, just download the c++ bcl and start with sdl, in about 4,000 lines you should be ready to render a blank blue screen then we can talk about that casting iss ue you have
eh ... like ... wtf?
6 months later ... so i wrote this game engine, my transforms are behaving oddly ... Why aren't using <any existing game engine> it solves this for you, seems daft write your own these days?
<insert epic nuclear level rage here>
Jeez dude, so emotional ... you need to relax a little ... are you sure you're cut out for this?
NO SHIT!
Welcome to GDSE! ... i love it here by the way ROFL
I was excited to see Blizzard Store enabled shipping here to Brazil, but when I saw the shipping I was just "OK, when I'm rich I'll buy that" because 15$ is 75% of what I would pay for the stuff
@Wardy But it doesn't need to wait over a full month for the delivery really
I plan to use Unity's Networking Services for their relay and matchmaking goodness, it's easy to set up catch is that you pay for bandwidth, which is fair enough but if I make my game pay-up-front, and the Android version gets pirated heaps (or even the desktop version), I dunno if it will be a large amount, or if I'd want to implement some sort of authentication thing on my end
I'm not your typical mobile gamer I see a giant ad and I will probably just uninstall it I'm out of touch with what people are willing to put up with lol
My plan for my sequel is to sell alpha/beta access on itch.io and IGS, and then once things are pretty much near completion, then go for Steam Early Access, but not linger in it for very long Early customer feedback is quite helpful I find
The best thing is that you don't need much to make a game. My first one was a kind of tactics game on a A3 piece of paper painted in squares with plain/forest/water/hill/mountain areas in them, played with Lego bricks representing units.
lol i learned about patterns and was like "yeh right who uses those ... i mean look at this code sameple <insert anything from any system you ever worked on>, see no-one actually uses patterns right?"
My boss told me I was only allowed to reduce the code if I needed to touch it for some reason. I found reasons to touch most of the code, just to simplify it.
That was actually quite a bit of fun overall. It was quite possibly the best job I've ever had in a lot of ways. I didn't care much for the company, but the work was fun, and the team was fun.
I think my game has around 10K lines of code, approximately... Hard to say really. Of course, a lot is contained in prefabs as well, which don't count into that.
That this is just a trailer, so I would expect real gameplay by anyone other than the devs, since they do post edits and all sort of productions to build hype
To be fair, it allows people who are "I kinda want to help but eh at effort" to just spam votes and then the people who actually want to help can redistribute their votes
How do you call it when you want to design an 'expandable' window where you have 8 'frame' parts (four corners: top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right; and four sides: top, bottom, left, right), that can adapt to the size you want to give to the window?
