Having gone remote in 2020, I’ve noticed similar to things to what you mention. Or, it’s almost like there’s a set of soft skills that develop when working from home. Writing styles change, and people speak/listen in a different cadenc

If those tools can give a productivity edge for the sort of experiences you’d see in AAA games, then perhaps! Tech demos don’t always translate into compelling interactive art, which can be challenging! I haven’t studied Unreal enough to sa

If I type “caste” into Aloglia HN search, I can find that it pops up in quite a few articles with a lot of comments. Part of me wonders about your comment saying the issue “has no presence” in the United States. It seems a bit odd to say it

I can’t speak for the parent, but @onready combined with the $ operator is a delight when making a prefab. I also very much like the way signals are declared compared to C#’s code generation. I’m also a fan of TypeScript, so being able to d

For some, a few days of GDScript usage. For others, after they convert their bottlenecks into C++. UE’s blueprints are much(!) slower than native code, but they’re still an incredible tool in the toolbox. GDScript is kind of the same; it’s

I haven't used Rust professionally, but have often wondered if Rust's RAII [1] meshes decently with the lifetime of a RefCounted in Godot. [2] While Godot's profiling has a lot of room for improvement, I appreciate how intuit

No way! The funny little language rules! It's a competitive advantage for Godot. GDScript integrates so nicely with the Node/Resource refcount model. It fills the same niche that Unreal's Blueprints do, which is great! When y

That import tax is worthwhile if it reduces emissions in the right areas. We should probably be eating less beef shipped out of Austrlia and producing less plastic packaging. Some trade does need to be shut down, as the externalities aren&#

I think the world would benefit if western nations had a carbon levy on imports as well as a carbon tax on domestically-produced goods. Or, with the added costs, market forces would encourage people to find more efficient lifestyles. If som

I think it can be more simply explained with supply and demand when it comes to labour. Or, if you’re a cook, for example, you’re going to find a more robust market for your skills in Vancouver rather than Castlegar. Because of that, cities

The soundtracks and the aesthetics of the first two games had a huge impact on me as an early teenager. I think I had only really seen video games presented in one or two ways, and something so colourful and left-field really shook my expec

I mean, the man knew he was going to relinquish his joke privileges when he decided to try his luck in the arena. Seems like a fair tradeoff to me!

I’m the same way. I tried the shots for a year but they made my eczema a lot worse. I wish they were a panacea.

I can’t go into specifics due to NDAs, but I’ve been a developer on a game that was designed and programmed with the EnTT library from the ground up. [1] I don’t know if I’d suggest ECS for every team as you need the right tooling, culture,

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. If the org has a clear goal and is organized enough, this sort of work can easily be distributed asynchronously.

Personally, I think this is why solutions such as carbon taxes and appropriate pricing are the way to go. Market forces start bringing out the desirable outcomes as people look to find ways of living, purchasing, and consuming sustainably.

I sometimes wonder if this environment were easier if the emulators involved were very easy to legally integrate onto modern game consoles. For example, Sony's PlayStation Classic used a GPL-licensed emulator [1] to get something out

I'm convinced that if Falcom had reworked Popful Mail for the Nintendo 64 (with Working Design's 90's anime dub) it could have been a surprise hit with the preteens that only had Ocarina of Time and Ogre Battle on the s

I wonder if using an XInput controller has a perk in that it’s relatively straightforward to find a second source if needed. Or, if one manufacturer isn’t working for them, they have a specification for controlling the periscope.
