Dark age of Camelot, had a guild made up of mostly locals. Did a custom website, scraped Mythics rankings, put in interactive maps, scroll trading system. It was all a hoot, moved to Warcraft after. Solid group of good people.
When I was a teen I used to run them frequently, tons of great memories. First was in a medium-sized MUD (early purely text-based mmorpgs), playerbase of around 100ish. Had active pvp, which made things harder for the newbies, which kinda capped the server’s growth.
Since my teen self named us “Souls of Chivalry” and we had grown into the second strongest guild, we set out to protect the defenseless.
It became common for a chi member to teleport in shortly after a new player joined. Tutorials didn’t really exist yet, so we’d answer questions and give them a prepared bag to help them survive the early levels. We’d patrol pvp-heavy areas looking for high level players spawn camping and shit, whereupon we’d kill them and confiscate their stuff. If a player bought land or something and came under attack while they were farming, a single server shout could bring half our guild teleporting in in the next 45 seconds, sometimes to quite the war.
When Youtube Gaming was still young I played Call of Duty with people from a gaming community called Hupit.com, which was founded by a prominent COD youtuber. With Covid I found people through Reddit for Simracing, and we have done tons of races together in the last 3 years.
On days like this I ask myself if the reason games are released that broken is because there are no real software engineers in the game industry. Like a carmack with doom. Someone who understands the technical site of things.
Gamedev is all about smokes and mirrors. A conventional software engineer will actively resent the shitfuckery you have to do, to make games run well (for good reason; it introduces complexity into already insanely complex systems).
Some performance work, you cannot defer, like fundamental design decisions (3D vs. 2D, raytracing or not) or if you’ve coded a tiny feature and for some reason, it completely obliterates performance.
But there’s always going to be tons of features that have been implemented well, they don’t obliterate performance, but if you replace them with an unintuitive/complex smoke-and-mirror solution, then you may be able to shave off 20% execution time for that feature. Or not. Often no real way to know, except to try it out.
Some of these do need to be tackled throughout development, too, but it’s easy to end up with a big block at the end of development.
Especially, if you had to rush a number of features that marketing promised, so that you can make the release date that marketing promised many months before anyone has any fucking clue how long it’ll take.
For those who do not have much experience and skills in playing Minecraft, it is also very normal for them to help themselves by using some cheat codes and cheat commands. The following article will guide you through some Minecraft game cheat commands for convenience during the initial gameplay. Minecraft is one of the few games that is considered a classic, famous and popular around the world, although the interface and images in the game are not beautiful, the content is not attractive, and the sound is only average. mediocre. However, what makes the main attraction of these magic squares is the style and gameplay in an infinite World. Players will be able to do things like in reality in the game so that their character can survive, develop or build their own projects. How to use paper minecraft cheat commands Previously, Download.com introduced to you some basic commands in Minecraft, however, those are just commands to perform operations in the game, which can be roughly understood as clean commands, not fraudulent. much. Today’s article will be another list of commands, helping you, no matter what mode you play in, to apply and do things that even the most experienced Miner can hardly do simply. simplest. To be able to enter cheat codes while playing Minecraft, you can press C or T to display the command bar, then enter the code as usual. However, before that, you also need to activate the cheat code mode for the game by: Select ON mode in Allow Cheats when you are creating a New World (Create New World) Or while playing the game, open the Game menu, select Open to LAN and then enable Allow Cheats. In addition, there are some other special commands such as: Rainbow sheep: If you name any sheep you have jeb_, its fur will continuously change colors like a rainbow. Turn any animal upside down: Use the name tag and place it on any animal to turn it upside down. Quite interesting, but you will need to get these name tags by making them yourself (using 3.4 iron ingots), searching in Dungeons, fishing or exchanging with villagers (exchange value must be up to 20 Emeralds). new). This command is also only available in version 1.8.1. Display aspect ratio: While playing, press + hold F3 key. View current latency: Press and hold the F6 key while playing.Chu Switch view: If you are playing in Survival mode, you can press F5 to change the perspective and switch to third-person view. Create rain: Press the F5 key in Creative mode to create rain. Instantly creates a village (also known as a village seed). Use the /gimmeabreak/ command in a spacious, large area and stand facing the sun, immediately a village will appear behind you.

Paradox published games are so often great gameplay-wise but technically incompetent lol, wouldn‘t surprise me if it utilized like 2 CPU cores tops to simulate a whole metropolis
It’s using unity game engine. I’m a graphics programmer in the industry and at my current and last workplace I made tech for games studios (i.e. I dealt with performance of easily 100 games a year at one point). Unity by far was default the worst to deal with due to the limited tools to fix issues that were inherint to the engine. Note don’t take this as me saying unity is a bad engine, it’s just that it isn’t a performant one. Its focus is elsewhere (accessibility and ease of development, things it excels at).
So yes, you can definitely assume that, in fact I’d assume one core for the simulation unless they wrote an entire new architecture to replace unity’s functionality (you’d still be locked to single thread sync points, but that’s manageable). It’s a hassle most don’t deal with as it’s a lot of work to struggle against writing code like unity wants you to write it.
I worked in a studio that exactly did that a decade ago, and it was painful and frankly a huge upfront dev cost that takes a long time to pay off.
Sklylines 1 was on Unity, but Skylines 2 is using Unreal as its engine this time.
I stand corrected. Must have been confused by the tech demo and hearing about “the new engine” from some CS content creators and making assumptions. It is indeed made in Unity, which is a shame. I used to love that engine, but it really hasn’t kept up with the times. I was so excited for it being in UE5.
I want there to be systems that have absolutely no game design in them. Stuff that literally is just there to add random possibilities to the experience. Extremely basic and consistent rules which are extremely easy to grasp but result in all sorts of crazy shit. Stuff like redstone from minecraft or fairy dust in Stardew Valley. I want to completely forget about the game for a bit and just get completely lost in the intricacies.
A perfect example of this: Adding a joker (wildcard) to poker. It’s just one basic card, you know what it does, but the amount that one card can completely break the game leads to far more interest than the base game could ever provide.
I have cognitive impairments and it does my head in that it’s still hit or miss whether games have rewindable text and voiceovers. Definitely my favourite thing in a game is eing ale to open a dialogue log and even replay voiced lines. Should be in every game, it’s such a small accessibility thing.
I’m gonna be honest, I never really understood what it did. The difference between fullscreen and windowed mode is kind of obvious, but borderless? I get what it does, it’s like windowed mode but borderless and it can take the whole screen. But then why not just make it fullscreen? I don’t understand it.
And especially when apparently some games run better with it? Which… I don’t know, I just don’t understand it.
