I though it might be hard puzzle games, so I built this: http://store.steampowered.com/app/363670 But it does not sell very well. So puzzles are off too. As an indie, you cannot really compete with FPS or MOBA genre. S

Yes. During the recent civil wars in Balkans, Serbia received many refugees from ex-Yugoslavian republics at war and it had huge impact on the economy as unemployment and criminal rates rose significantly. It took about 17-18 years for econ

Meanwhile, Hungary has finished building the wall and is now adding more soldiers to EU-Serbia border and blocking the central train station in Budapest to stop people from going further. http://www.theguardian.com/world&#x2

Is Russian really supported? I tried both Cyrillic and Latin transliteration of some words and it reports it's all safe. For example, try any of the Russian synonyms for "shit". "говно" transliterates to "govno

I had this problem for years. And then I picked an open source project that uses the same language and tools and started contributing to it. I made some great friends and the mailing list was always live with discussion that was often much

I find this comment amazing: https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-iOS/issues/124#is... Even with root account, you are not in full control of your Mac - you are sandboxed by Apple.

We still exist. I spent the last nine months and 10 days creating this all by myself: http://store.steampowered.com/app/363670 and it's finally done and coming out this Friday. I did all the programming, graphics

Does it have any built-in tweening support? I remember choosing Easel.js a couple of years back because of this.

Maybe if you elaborate what exact functionality you are missing. Look at "sar" and "sag" for example.

That is great advice. Whenever I'm about to build something big, I first start thinking about things that would be hard to do, or perhaps that I even don't know how to do yet. Then I build prototypes of those to make sure I can to

Do you have a blog? I like the way you write and would like to read more.

One reason: market share.

I don't see this as an issue as I use native apps for YT, Gmail and Google Maps anyway. What's interesting is that YouTube app for iOS lacks some essential features that Android app has. For example, you can't go back to vide

I can confirm this. I struggled a lot with making pixel art because I was trying to draw the outline with pixels and would always fail (except for rectangular inanimate objects like boxes and similar). Then I tried to sketch first and it wo

As per 2. I fail to see how number of supported languages directly increases cost of game shipments (per unit)? I'd say that just put arbitrary numbers in there since the project will require much more than $2 mil. to complete. You are

Me too. Getting to a holiday destination is always fun, easy and seems short. Coming back home is boring and seems to take much longer.

As far as I can tell, it would only require longer time (more iterations) for the network to learn, but it would still work. The main problem I see is that the algorithm is learning from the same level (or set of levels). It would be intere

TLDR: a neural network playing Super Mario. A very cool demonstration showing how the network evolves.

Actually, what made me stop using Borland (C++ Builder) was switching to Linux (going to open source GCC and wxWidgets library) and web (Browsers and PHP getting good enough to build bigger projects in it). Borland failed to deliver usable

Never. I'm saying this from a personal experience running a B2B company for 7 years and switching to B2C model three years ago. I would never go back. Sure, having a couple of big customers looks like a more stable option at first, but

What is really needed IMHO is a mind-reader. Something simple that would detect brain waves and allow you to move around. That way one could aim by turning your head and move by thinking about it. I know tech. has some way to go before it g

Yup. Although, they solved this in more interesting way in Pingus. You can tell blocker to do something else (dig, build, etc.) to unblock it.

I tried Vipassana on my own while I was a student (it was much easier to get stretches of peaceful time). I read the instructions from a book and managed to get into a different state of mind in about 45 minutes or so. Is there really some

Actually, I think I would regret all the stuff I could build if I were alive a little bit longer. People who are creative and say otherwise are just lying (to others and to themselves probably). Or maybe, like you wrote, they are living a l
