And it's even required for offline, split-screen, local multiplayer! You can't even get into the main menu.

I have one that's in-between. The monitor is always "present", only the keyboard and mouse get (dis)connected. It works fine, since it avoids the biggest problem of adjusting the screen resolution which can reposition desktop

Most indies already use Unity, which has support for all consoles. Most indies don't even know a single native API call. Unless the game needs something very special, they just use Unity API for everything.

API lockdown is most probably to prevent crackers from learning enough about the system to create pirated copies of games.

It sure is amazing currently, but I fear in the long run nobody would even bother to make native Linux versions anymore. It's such an easy out for developers. Why bother when people will make it work on Proton somehow and you don'

I was just wondering a couple days ago why the image from my phone is so grainy, while my eyes+brain can see everything clear in the dark (it wasn't completely dark, of course). This seems to replicate the post-processing we do in our

People in underpaid jobs in my country have a similar saying that translates roughly to: "I can always work less than you pay me".

Top posting has won because major e-mail clients (gmail) made it the default. When you hit reply, they add two newlines at the top and place your cursor there. You really have to go out of your way to bottom post.

Github was made because people wanted to use Git really bad, but the UX wasn't there. Git was already successful at that point. Git succeeded because it was good. Github just made it more accessible.

I love Dead Cells as a game (slick combat, great graphics and atmosphere, etc.), but it's levels are one of the weak design points IMHO. They are nowhere near as fun and interesting as Spelunky's. Dead Cells levels are just simple

Using header files is great when starting new projects. When I wrote my first game engine, I tried to keep everything in .h files. There are two benefits: A minor one, but still saves some time: You don't have to think about build syst

Thanks. If you have any feedback on the game, feel free to shoot me an e-mail (it's in my HN profile).

Hm, it does make sense. Perhaps I should make another, gameplay trailer as well. Steam allows multiple trailers anyway. Thanks.

Showing gameplay would be pointless because 99% of the gameplay is in player's head, analyzing the code, maybe even writing some down on paper. If you just look at the screen, it doesn't make much sense. Here, try looking at this
