For 2D art https://2dgameartguru.com/ might be good. It started as a set of tutorials for game programmers struggling with making art. It specifically focuses on vector art, and pixel art might be more suitable, for that

It will be standalone. Probably more powerful than Snapdragon XR2 powered devices like Quest 2.

Google glass and some other products do this already. Although products like glass and Hololens (and Apples new headset, apparently) are all targeted at enterprise, not consumer, there's nothing stopping individuals from buying them

This is unlikely to happen on the official store, but will probably be available for Side quest at some point. Your best bet is probably still building it yourself

You do often win the game by being pedantic and pointing out small issues that didn't have anything to do with the original main testimony, so maybe parent is on to something after all :)

I think this is the main reason. Outside of math libraries (and maybe strings for concatenation?) operator overloading rarely makes sense. If you're working in a math heavy domain with custom types it's a godsend though. I wouldn&

There was a rumor years ago that Samsung was the #1 potential buyer of Microsoft's XBOX division. Obviously that didn't happen. At this point building a brand and a first party game library that can compete in what already looks l

Also remember "expensive" is relative. I think it added little over 1ms to total frame time per video, but in a 60fps console game that. Our budget was about 1ms or less for the entire UI during gameplay (including scripting, layo

Couldn't edit after I saw the replies but thank you for reminding me Rare was always 2nd party. So not quite the same but Nintendo could have acquired them like Monolith Soft or Next Level Games

Video used as textures, either in world on 3D meshes, or as part of UI (HUD) elements. It could be prohibitively expensive to play a single video in some scenes, and we didn't support multiple videos. Not because it wasn't possibl

I worked on COD:AW and we used video in game often. The lead UI artist would have used it significantly more if performance was better. Might be an exception but it's not uncommon, I've worked on multiple titles with full 3D and v

Nintendo did sell a business that didn't align with their primary markets, Rare. Rare generated hits for Nintendo (like Donkey Kong Country), but iirc, Miyamoto never liked them. From the DKC wikipedia entry: In the years following

I believe that AI will accelerate creativity. This will have a side effect of devaluing some people's work (like you mentioned), but it will also increase the value of some types of art and, more importantly, make it possible to do th

There are lots of non rogue-lite platformers coming out all the time (perhaps everyday), but not as many big, get a ton of press, critically acclaimed ones. Indie devs have backed away from the genre a little bit because production values a

One argument is these spaces exist, have existed for a long time, and are completely accessible to those who would want to join them. If you're a man, men's clubs and men only events still exist. Maybe they don't exist expli

This is really cool, but a lot of the comparison to VR or AR HMDs is parroting VR cliches (it's anti-social, you need a headset, etc). I do believe a display could be interesting for some use cases, but one of the strengths of VR is ha

I once pitched a startup idea that would enable this if I was given "infinite money and infinite time". Most folks ignored it, but my elderly parents still tell me to start a business to work on this right now

Strongly agree with you regarding IP. Especially when we live in a world where many of the biggest corporate IPs are shared fiction myths that incorporate public domain material, or where a lot of new IP is inspired by existing IP to the po
