Are Minecraft servers with a massive number of players something common or really not something the average player cares to participate in? I used to run my own Ultima Online server with an emulator called RunUO about 15 years ago. The sam

Yea I guess my thought is that the 'carrot' in this system is growing a constellation. You dangle that out there as incentive for people to sleep healthy and wake up on time. If people can circumvent the healthy sleeping by growin

Hmm I do appreciate the complexity involved in implementing a max number of hours per day you can grow a star. But I think it may be worth it. The more you clamp down on ways to exploit the system the more player's will respect their a

Game dev here. Should you include some sort of maximum amount of sleep per day to prevent people from setting alarms to grow their stars when they aren't sleeping?

Sometimes I think life is just one big joke and that I'm going to wake up in a lab with technicians around me laughing "He really believed yellow labradors evolved from wolves! How gullible!"

Would love to see Amazon make an integration for Unreal Engine 4 or their Lumberyard video game engine so a game developer can easily import detailed swaths of the earth.

I wonder if more systems were treated as 'radioactive' if that investment in being able to remotely repair them would pay off in the long term.

Huge fan of John Carmack! These quotes from the keynote really stand out to me: "If you think you've got that new killer app by all means go ahead and work on it but otherwise you can always spend time improving the existing appli

Reading the article I linked in my first post, my understanding is that it is possible to use WebRTC for UDP _today_ but its just very difficult? "while WebRTC makes it easy to send unreliable-unordered data from one browser to another

What would you guys think of a school that allowed kids to use their cell phones if they first passed a 'build-it-yourself' course with something like this?

Researching Godot's multiplayer support it looks like there is not anything very comprehensive? In a separate discussion, will we ever see any sort of UDP support in the browser for client/server games? https://gafferon

It was an emulator for Ultima Online called RunUO that ignited my passion for game development. The ability to alter a few lines of code and see that reflected in the game was so damn exciting. Happy to say 15 years later working on my late

Yea you could probably argue there are better economies of scale doing all of your working in large chunks and then all of your traveling in large chunks. To me 1-2 week vacations per year though is not a large enough chunk of time off. I s

I dream of a future where a sensor can detect from your urine/blood/bowel movement wether you have cancer or some disease. Imagine a push notification to your phone that says you have a 82% chance of having hepatitis or something.

Yes to me the solution to the heavy ram/diskspace usage isn't to abandon Electron but to optimize it.
