Hm yeah. We removed it a few years ago now so I assume they should have found it though. We followed these instructions and had to contact valve and give a justification https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/ret

It actually is free on itch.io, and people on steam who bought it still have access to it. Keeping it on steam required us to maintain our company registration which we didn’t want to do since it’s a waste of money and time as we weren’t pl

Ahh, there seems to be a distinction between "delisted" and "purchase disabled". This is a list of all games which are no longer available on steam along with the reason: https://steam-tracker.com/

This can’t be all of them. My business partner and I delisted our tiny (unsuccessful) indie game after we wound up our company and our game doesn’t show up here.

Casey hasn’t worked on game engine or engine tech in almost a decade. That’s not to say he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, but imho it’s important to be aware that he hasn’t worked on a real shipping product in a long time.

I didn't know of Jack Lance before this post. I've just been playing through enigmash and it's very clever! https://jacklance.github.io/PuzzleScript/play.html?p=cfdcc6e...

Sorry I'm not exactly sure what you're saying. I know very well how it works as I write a lot of demos and games (still today) for mode 13h (see https://www.pouet.net/groups.php?which=1217&order=release ) and I

Paul Theroux talks about this a bit in one of his books, about how it’s about the journey and not the destination basically. I think it was The Old Patagonian Express.

What do you mean by this? It's hardly equivalent to LFS. The binary files aren't replaced with a text pointer with actual content stored on a server elsewhere. Binary files are stored in the same place as text files.

Folks end up at all sorts of places. Like I mentioned above, the banks hoover up a lot of graduates. There are a lot of smaller local companies doing web stuff. The consulting companies all have a presence here (KPMG, Accenture, Fujitsu Con

I'd agree with this. I did a double degree in Comp Sci/Comp Sys Eng at RMIT (1998-2002) and even from that era I would say that's largely true. Out of the people who did my course (and those I knew from other degrees like Com

I run openwrt on an ancient Netgear WNDR3700 which is probably 15 years old by now. I can get around 900Mbps on my gigabit connection (wired). We only have two adults in our home using the Internet (for now until our two kids are older!) an

Ah right I did know that much about then following seasons. I thought the previous poster meant different in that the characters etc and over the top-ness was different but from my understanding of reading the synopsis it’s still basically

Really! Interesting. How was it different?

by bananaboy 1y ago
I 100% agree. I couldn’t finish it and bailed during the first season. It was all just so over the top! I thought Micro Men was way better executed as a comparison point https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_Men

CRTs were still commonplace though based on the bios dates in the blog. So 720x400 would still have been well supported. It’s strange that they did this!

This apparently was a text mode not a graphics mode. It would have been a tweaked text mode since the standard mode 3 text mode that you can set via int 10h is 720x400. The energy star logo was also displayed in text modes - by using custom

I agree - nasm is excellent. I've used it for pretty much all my MS-DOS projects (games and demos).

by bananaboy 1y ago
Right. Sure I agree with that. You have to do a lot more yourself. I just don't think it's that big a deal though but that's probably just me. Someone running Perforce has probably set that up themselves, and so they vaguely

What do you mean “build tooling is worse in games”? I’ve worked in games for 20 years and used both perforce and got extensively across small, medium, and large projects. There’s nothing technically worse about perforce with regard to CI&#x

Unity has had a text based scene format available as an option for a long time. Yes it’s complicated looking yaml but it’s diffable and mergeable. They also have a smart yaml merge tool.

Haha, I’m not though. I’m actually a professional game developer and have worked on the Wii and wiiu. But there’s no way I can express curiosity about this without sounding like a lawyer. Have an upvote though haha.
