derbis,

I’d be curious what the API change is that caused the bug. I think it’s just as likely that this is yet another case of Apple pulling the rug out from under devs.

Capcom is experimenting with generative AI to help generate the “hundreds of thousands of ideas needed for game development" (automaton-media.com) angielski

Resident Evil and Street Fighter series developer Capcom is experimenting with introducing new technology, including generative AI, to tackle the ballooning costs and man-hours required for game development. In a recent interview with Google Cloud Japan, Kazuki Abe, a technical director at Capcom, gave some specific examples of...

derbis,

People will call you an asset flip if you do that. Plus I don’t know if all of these games use engines compatible with “the” asset browser

derbis,

What if you found a portal to a parallel universe? What if you could slide into a thousand different worlds? Where it’s the same year, and you’re the same person… but everything else is different? And what if you can’t find your way home?

derbis,

That would be a fun can of worms

derbis,

Love the switch. The only reason I’m still a console gamer at all.

EU Citizen's initiative to pass legislation to stop game publishers disabling games we paid for (www.stopkillinggames.com)

Videogames are being destroyed! Most video games work indefinitely, but a growing number are designed to stop working as soon as publishers end support. This effectively robs customers, destroys games as an artform, and is unnecessary. Our movement seeks to pass new law in the EU to put an end to this practice. Our proposal...

derbis,

Good question. Presumably games like this will have a server that is proprietary, and the compulsion may simply be to make the server source or executables available, rather than creating anything new

derbis,

No, generative ai is a blanket term that covers them both. Lots of people are both forcefully opinionated about this topic, and clueless. Like the person you’re responding to

derbis,

Man this thread is making me mad so I’mma head out

Can somebody explain why game makers don't start their own companies together? angielski

It seems like every other week a game studio is massively laying off employees; sometimes after years of development. What I’m reading is that it’s a quick way to lower expenses and pad the investors’ pockets, flooding the market with developers and reducing their value, to then hire them back a few months later at lower...

derbis,

As a counterpoint to most of the cynicism here, this is how the company I now work for formed. Caveats include: the founder had a lot of money because he had previously worked for a big name Internet company when it was a startup, and we spend almost all of our time as contractors for other studios rather than developing in-house IP.

derbis,

Holy fuck. 373 games. I’m very touched that so many are giving their hard work away to support this cause. Got it and added the extra payment on.

derbis,

Ngo monitor is right wing bullshit with zero credibility.

derbis,

If it helps, this is the first time I hear it 🤷‍♂️

derbis,

There’s a Stardew valley mod that does this but it seems development has stalled

derbis,

Wow that was fascinating, thanks. For those who prefer to read, there was a full transcript!

derbis,

Dave the Diver! It looks so goofy but give it a shot. It’s got hilarious cutscenes, and a really well executed blend of roguelike, restaurant game, resource management, and story RPG.

derbis,

My hunch is that those layoffs are going to come from the more peripheral efforts like that malware startup they acquired

derbis,

Seems really ridiculous to me that they can write an article like this and still use terms like “deathbed,” “barbones console,” etc.

If anything this shows that hardware matters less and less. The game itself is king and Nintendo is really good at it. Beefier hardware has diminishing returns and people who write articles like this seem to have cut their teeth on the big leaps: 8 to 16 to 64 bit and don’t realize that doesn’t really matter anymore.

derbis,

I’ve only played the first three you mentioned, but I would say they’re all far from minimal focus on combat…

Starfield design lead says players are "disconnected" from how games are actually made: "Don't fool yourself into thinking you know why it is the way it is" (www.gamesradar.com) angielski

apparently this is in response to a few threads on Reddit flaming Starfield—in general, it’s been rather interesting to see Bethesda take what i can only describe as a “try to debate Starfield to popularity” approach with the game’s skeptics in the past month or two. not entirely sure it’s a winning strategy,...

derbis,

I haven’t played this game and I’m not really apprised of what the players’ dissatisfactions are, as I’ve not been paying attention to it.

But as a working game dev, he is 100% right about that. One thing that seems… unique to gamers as hobbyists is how confident they are in their opinions and assumptions about the how and the why. It’s pretty frustrating. Everyone is entitled to their opinion about the outcome. But 97% of the rest of what gamers have to say beyond that is toilet paper.
