NOT_RICK, do gaming w I call this the "True Catholic/Christian combo"

Beating a debtor near to death wasn’t very Christian. I do appreciate a lot that Arthur does but that mission still haunts me. What a great story

I’m not THAT familiar with the story of RDR2, but I think Rockstar tries to do their best to show that Arthur is a very flawed man who can switch between doing good things to doing bad things in a whim (but also depending on the player’s actions). It makes him feel more human.

The mission I’m describing is unavoidable. I won’t spoil it, but it has serious consequences for both Arthur and the plot. It’s the kind of art that really punches you in the gut.

Tying up clansmen and turning them into red mist on train tracks, feeding them to gators, or just setting them on fire sure never did get old though.

Hell yeah! My first game was a text only java program where you killed skeletons and dragons, gained levels, and movement was done by typing a wasd key then hitting enter lol. You still making games at all?

I mostly made models and textures, I was never a one-person team. I made assets for a number of students in game dev programming and I worked on some gamejams. Quite a few games, but nothing beyond the scope of a limited project. Currently I just don’t have the time in between other things to go back to making assets.

Rakqoi,

movement was done by typing a wasd key then hitting enter lol.

haha I adore this, now I really want someone to make a full game with this control scheme

Appoxo, do games w Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games)

Let me choose my own resolution.

victorz,

I dunno… Depends on the game. If you make a window wide enough you’d start seeing what’s behind you, and that might not be very fair in certain games lol. It might not be very easy to aim but that can be learned. 😅

Appoxo,

Well…
I could also set my own resolution with the config files (rocket league at last at the time allowed it) or I also could set my own resolution in my gpu driver.

So what’s the issue then?
For example, I can’t choose an ultrawide 1080p resolution in Cyberpunk2077.
Any game usually let’s me set the usual values (like 1920x1080, 1280x720, 4:3 resolutions, 16:10 resolutions, etc etc). So why not let me choose the custom resolution of 2560x1080p ???

victorz,

I’m just saying in certain games setting your custom resolution could be considered cheating.

For example in competitive first person shooters, if you play on a 16:9 monitor, and you set the resolution to be a ratio much, much wider than your monitor, you will see all the way around the player in 360°. This is how graphics projection math works. Or it did when I last dabbled in writing a graphics engine.

So I can understand some games not allowing certain odd ratios and FOVs in combination.

Otherwise I agree, of course we should be able to set a resolution that matches our monitors that we have. 😊👍

four, do games w A screenshot that is the old evidence of my first ever attempt at a game.

Looks pretty much like my first attempts lol

I do miss that carefree goofing around. Now I need to design, plan, optimize, etc. I know how to do stuff (mostly), so there less exploration and discovery and more of just work.

But at least stuff I make now is better hah (or at least I hope so)

Oh wow this gave me a wave of nostalgia for my first experience developing games. I took a class in like middle school for game development, and they provided the software Alice for the course.

I fondly remember trying to make a first person, open world sandbox RPG, but if I remember correctly, the engine not being able to create new instances of anything severely limited what I wanted to do. Also, the engine had a ton of floating point precision issues and everything would be rotated in funny ways after the game was running for a long time. And I hated the visual programming and got so frustrated that I couldn’t just type the scripts instead haha… that’s when I switched to GameMaker

Anyway, I was reminded of it because the first enemies in my game were also sword-wielding skeletons just like in the OP screenshots. I appreciate the peak into your past, and I’m thankful for that nostalgia hit :3

northernlights, do games w What game is a guilty pleasure of yours?

Schedule I. I did everything the game has to offer at the present moment but i still go back to spend an ingame day or 2 making silly drug mixes, selling, doing dumb stuff like pickpocketing cops… It’s just pleasant.

I’m sad I no longer have my files from my time spent in college doing games design, would’ve loved to see if I could do better now.

shadshack, do games w Gaming Pet Peeves

Invisible walls. And I’m not saying the ones that are like way up out of the way that you have to nearly use glitches to get to. I’m talking the “walking down a city street and then you’re stopped in the middle of the road for no reason” kind. Like, you put area there that I can see, I want to go there. If you don’t want me to go there at least put something there to indicate it’s the edge of the map.

Looks like unturned

Did you use any engine or framework for this, or built it from pure code and gl libs?

This was built inside of Unity.

Save&quit at any time

So I can just boot up the game, play for 15 minutes and go do other stuff

Yeah, the steam deck does this, it’s a great feature.

justdaveisfine, do games w A screenshot that is the old evidence of my first ever attempt at a game.

Looks glorious.

That’s pretty good for a first attempt, most people’s first games are barely functional, if at all, so I’d consider this a win.

swelter_spark, do gaming w Which of the two would you purchase for someone who’s not so technical?
@swelter_spark@reddthat.com avatar

If the wants the Steam Deck, and she’s used it before, I’d say get her the Steam Deck.

Qwaffle_waffle, do games w Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games)

Subtitles. I wish I could have suuttiles for halo, the early games. It’s getting better these days, and should be a setting accessible before starting the game (not after the intro movie, I’m looking at you vanilla wow).
