WOW :O Will give this a try sometime, I think bite size civ is ingenious!! :O\ Edit: Played it a bit, testing against myself hurts my brain. Also the pretty unconventional (from the perspective of conventional 4x games) mechanics are cool to lear…
-
so... you usually feel motivated and don't have fun with the programming? Hey that's actually usually true for me too :)
-
Sounds awesome! I found the challenge took me somewhere, but I didn't have the will or time to follow through cos of other commitments, but I learned lots from the process and will also share it at the meet :) I mean heck I have a prototype, it's n…

You know, I never played the original, and I remember the one time I saw it was at the Bruma flea market, browsing that one shoddy computer shop near the entrance. That was probably when I was in high school. Wow. The nostalgia and the proudly SA f…
-
Thanks for the history! I didn't know that, so yeah it makes a lot of sense they turned out the way they did :) And nooooo I don't think it was "bad" that they didn't make it different, I was just noting that it was not a deviation, versus D3 which…
-
I see what you mean, and I think TL2 might have been just as meticulous in that refinement of the genre, although I can't say that the pet system (it being able running back to town to sell stuff to maximise your time spent doing things and not runn…
-
Yeah I think have as little work done on art as possible to start, then if you really want, go deeper. If you make your characters symmetrical flipping isn't a problem. If you make your game style rough and rumble instead of refined you can get aw…
-
Well, to say we could quantify and qualify a game as being "innovative" means we should do the same for "refinement", in the context of this thread. I was actually saying that innovation and refinement are two equally important things that, to me,…
-
Yes, I agree that it's perfectly reasonable to see both (and all of) the games on their own merit and strengths, but as everyone in the world has found, it was pretty impossible to talk about one American president without comparing him to the previ…
-
Congrats!! :D It really looks sweet, hope it goes like wildfire! :D
-
Oh yeah? I've always found that crew members are super useful, but not absolutely vital (though I suppose all of this depends on whatever other equipment you have handy -- I've been playing some pretty drone-heavy games recently). After discovering …
-
That roadmap is awesome except for the obvious lack of dates. I've asked them about it before but obviously they'll answer everything but those that matter.
-
I believe we need to change the css or something so that links would stand out a lot more. I've missed SO MANY links like this, even after careful scrutiny. On topic, TL2's Charge meter is a very good example of how to implement the wave-form pacin…

He deserves any number of ribs :)

Speaking of slippery slopes... FTL. Ultimate slippery slope game. There's no surviving a boarding gone wrong with 2 "surviving" crew. They should just kill themselves.
-
Hadn't seen this thread till now, I'm huge into fighters :) Remembering the heydays of emulator fighting games like king of fighters 9xs, samurai showdown, mark of the wolves (one of the coolest) when me and a few of my friends would spend entire e…

He might have meant to link the article. Might have.
-
Awesome! That sounds like a perfect solution! :)
-
Seriously, I think he more than *thinks* he's a superhero :) I do wonder if this "million people engagement" on such a base level (tapping) is redundant in our world of Facebook, twitter and stuff. It certainly is much more immediate (in theory), b…
-
@miltage cool idea. I played it and really enjoyed the concept, here's a bit of feedback: 1) I didn't know when I could and couldn't use an ability... I eventually figured out the bar diminishes, but I couldn't figure out how much energy I needed to…
-
I'm sure bro force is in :) if you wanna use my little dwarf gif loop you can too, lol :p
-
Cool read. I love how the comments were entirely a discussion about: is that the fibonacci spiral in the opening picture? Lol :) Hope they fill in the gaps in the article soon. Was a bit meh to see "text to be replaced" placeholders.
-
Saw this headline on Rock Paper Shotgun... Bro-op - Starbreeze reveals fantasy romp brothers It's catching :)
-
@jwho303 Dude that sounds like a great idea! I'll send you files if you guys are keen :) a title card I assume is something like movie prod house intro sequence thing? Make it epic! Make it flexible! I'll send you files when I get back to my own pc…
-
Such a good store of wisdom, I shall have much to read over and above the usual trolling through Gamasutra :) Harry Potter wanted to be a game designer, good for him. Let me see how long it takes me to run through this course :)
-
Actually I'm quite sad that I didn't see the four player bro-op last night cos I was outside checking out Lex's boardgame! Man but those explosions during the demo was LEGENDARY! Awesome! :D
-
Ok will look into TRAC, would you say that it is higher level competency stuff? Like needing to know how to change things and code it, etc? This article speaks about wiki too: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/4094/learning_the_ways_of_the_game…
-
Not untrue, but does it have version control, history that you can roll back, restricting access to this and that part of the doc, links? Don't have anything against docs, I use it all the time, but if I want one place for everything, docs may be a…
-
I'm SOOOOO lus (thst's the word right?) for my PC at home when I can start playing the humble bundle games. And that royal back to school one also looks helluva cool too. Were always interested in Gratuitus Space Battles too :)
-
Great summary. The point that was being made was to make a game first and make tech second. If you can make a game first using your tech of choice, you're awesome. If you're stuck on tech and cannot show me the game ("SHOW ME THE GAME-Y!!" Terry mi…

20-minute videos are much less intimidating for me to watch than 2+ hour epics. I thought that was always the intention. And, are the videos put up somewhere already?? I thought we were working towards that. On that note too, what's happening with …
-
@someone_else That dude is cool. If you read all the way to the end youll see something which makes sense of it all, too :p
-
Not only is Legion taking offense, but other members of this board are taking offense when their advice is not heeded. Why? As you say, its just a tool, so why get angry when someone doesnt use the tool you suggest? What do you care? But I really do…
-
I'm going to try keep it short to try break this trend of wall of textism. it should have been obvious that Legion is not going to switch. I don't think anyone saw this thread and Ceberon Gate thread together. No one tried to make Legion "change hi…
-
Awesomeness to all for a great meetup! I failed to mention this during the event but I hope all the vids have been captured without a problem, those would be fantastic to put up at some stage. We will start that YouTube channel soon. Ish. Oh I real…
-
Oooh! Plus one for getting a lift Claremont side afterwards for this tourist of CT, if that's not too much trouble!
-
@legion I don't know why you're singling anyone out for saying they don't like what you like, myself, karuji and rigamortis all aired the same kind of opinion. And that's all they are, opinion about something you like. Why did that happen? Because …
-
Would be cool to be able to try a playable build so we can jump in and gawk :)
-
When we do get around to compiling that wiki for us, we should include as much of this kind of information that's specifically suited for us, for as many channels as possible... If there are particular SA contacts especially (or at least contacts of…
-
Yeah I know about the export to Mac thing, in fact you also need a Mac to export and test on iPad. I was specifically talking about the studio dev environment. Which just means I'll have to bootcamp a Mac when I get one to be able to do my studio w…

+1 to making games for everyone +1 to making games with anything +1 for we're not here to "escalate", it's really not about kakking on some people and not others here, it's really just about making games. +1 for this community cares very little for…
-
Cool, thanks :D I think VGA will do us just fine :) if we manage it we can save some time between talks and even not have to cut the vids up afterwards to talks :) Thanks @shelton :)
-
So interesting, basically replacing all instances of "your mod" with "your game" gives you pretty good advice on getting games out :)
-
That is absolutely true, and hopefully that doesnt drive a culture of over eager and gullible backers... And malicious kickstarters. The chances aren't high, but a single major ponzi scheme is enough to fuck everyone over.
-
They've made the whole thing very blurry. I believe what you've linked is the thing that makes the games - ie compile codes into platform-specific executable. I haven't found a Mac version development environment yet. And this page says the IDE (int…
-
Well I don't disagree with you, I do feel that a team could lure the heck out of its audience with animations and other trickery, and that is a danger that could befall kickstarter projects. I don't really follow it all that closely but I haven't h…
-
Without any empirical data of whether the current spate of kick starter game projects are going to fruit as they promised, or whether theyll run aground and disappoint a lot of people, it's kinda hard to talk about this. Mostly cos this kickstarter…

Just saw an article about how game maker makers are aiming to be the Unity of 2D games soon by giving it more love and attention. http://indiegames.com/2012/09/gamemaker_aims_to_be_the_unity.html?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=pulsenews In it …

@shelton I haven't a clue how big your files would be,mould you mind doing a test to see how big say a 5 minute video is? Film some tv or something, and see how big the file comes to? So maybe we might record lower non hd video if there's not enough…
-
@shelton Yes let's film it and take pics. I can get the camera anyone tripod? You got a power cable for it too? I don't have anything here unfortunately do lets see who has a tripod. Otherwise in jozi we used a lot of tape and it was spiderman style…
