I used to use GameMaker back in the Mark Overmars 5.0/6.0 days, but dropped it the moment it went to a paid model. This is great news, and I might honestly check it out again.
Nowadays I would generally prefer to use Godot - not a surprise, given where I’m posting. But GM was great for quick prototyping, if nothing else.
Unity, as a business, as a stock investment, as a C-suite and board of directors, is rotting in its casket for all I care. I have committed to never buy game built in Unity whose development started after September this year.
This whole debacle wasn’t an engineering problem; it’s not the software development staff’s fault.
Don’t worry y’all. By cloud it’s just gonna be dynamic ads.
But for real, background animations and details could be streamed through another device having to render that something. Anything that doesn’t revolve around the gameplay itself.
This is from the culture where don’t show you outsourced some of your work and claim that you did everything internally. There was a time where players think outsourced anything is bad but we have since gone way past that. Many big studio out-sourced their asset making/audio etc cause it’s simply too much work to do the up keeps if you don’t have a library of them from your past games.
As far as I know some Japanese company still operate this way and the out-source partner are contractually not allowed to disclose what they worked on. You would be considered lucky to even make the partner list with company name only. It’s a really bad standard and I hope we just get rid of that entirely. (If you are not aware, China’s asset outsource companies makes a lot of assets for AAA industry for a long time. )
Honestly my biggest problem with embracer group is they don’t have a “real stake” in gaming or actual interest like Xbox does when they buy studios. (Please correct me if I’m wrong) but all they do is buy companies and then when they see profits go down they just lay people off.
Not great news for embracer as they just shut down their other games studio volition studio too . Layoffs at gearbox doesn’t seem good and they will probably have to sell it off next year
Is there something to be worried about here with the Unreal Engine being the only big business in town in terms of indie game development for 3d game engines?
I mean obviously yes, but how worried should we be of this becoming a bottleneck?
Godot has been making leaps and bounds. Obviously not close to UE, but if it maintains its rate of improvement, I can see it becoming a more and more common choice in the indie space over the next few years
Nah, it definitely is, in fact I have noticed a disconcerting number of indie games I REALLY like especially 3d games with physics engines are on the unreal engine.
I have always been a massive fan of at least the creative output of projects on the unreal engine, I don’t know much about the politics and details around how it is to actually create games on the unreal engine or anything though. I just don’t trust Epic honestly or whoever owns them now or rather I don’t trust the incentive structure… but yeah I wish the unreal engine success I am just asking how people see the state of similar engines in this moment.
“This employee took screenshots of ABK wide discussions about the safety of our protected information (like name changes and visa statuses) and sent them to an an extremely racist, sexist, and transphobic individual on Twitter who has over a 100 thousand followers,” they added.
Like really? Concord went bust because of woke? It can’t be an overused genre and a bad game? It has to be “wokeism”?
Like, please think.
And ask for marvel rivals I think you’re confusing that with multiverse.
Edit: like I’m not even against a game that is just trad wives and big tits or whatever, it’s up to the customer if they want to buy that. And if they do there will be a market for it.
Edit 2: didn’t notice the poster deleted his comment, here it is:
“What happened to Concord? And what happened to Marvel Rivals?”
Seems to me like names were censored in the released slack screenshots (except the CEO). Were there uncensored screenshots that I missed or that were deleted?
Easy there, I’m already planning on not buying it, just like I’m sure plenty of others are planning not to. Just need to get the word out that the company isn’t one to buy from.
They are not doing anything wrong, dipshit. What is the horrific thing they are doing? Protecting trans colleagues? Protecting people of color they work with? Just because your fuhrer wants a white straight male environment, does not mean everyone else does. Go outside for once in your life. Maybe you will gain some empathy for your fellow humans.
Being left wing is not wrong, just like being right wing isn’t wrong. Further more, nothing wrong with customers being more informed about the company they’re buying from.
What, are you upset that the multinational corporation might lose out on a few sales?
Lol, yes it is, you brainrotted simpleton. Your continued attempts at normalizing psychotic behavior under the auspices of consumer protection proves as much.
Go do a few cartwheels through a busy intersection, chud.
Activision is a lefty company with a lefty culture. Dear fucking lord, that has to be one of the worst takes I’ve read on lemmy. What’s next, Mark Zuckerberg is a deep cover lefty librul?
I've got an Xbox One X and there's just not been anything on current gen platforms that excites me. Lots of live service games that are of zero interest to me, coupled with subscriptions that end up imposing FoMo.
