What happened to the game you were making in GameMaker Studio, still working on it?
had to drop it cos the ai work involved in making a stealth game was just too much for me on my own, specially when you have to build a game around it

i made a really cool level editor where you could set up like patrol routes and search points and it had a tile editor and a lot of other cool stuff (it even had skin support cos i was bored one day lol), and the ai was fairly complex, it could do search sweeps based on last known position and nearby interest points and sounded alarms and would react to bodies and had height based cones of visions and would react if you stepped on a puddle close to them, etc.

but the game wasn't really fun or engaging, there were a couple moments where i got some really cool emergent gameplay stuff happening and some silly but awesome strategies but honestly it needed a lot of work to just be better in the minute to minute stuff, the movement and using ur abilities didn't feel great and the ai was kinda smart but in ways that didn't feel great, like you didn't get "huh?! what was that noise?!" tells and it was just really hard to program them in the weirdo neural network thing i had come up with, and i still had to constantly update the level editor to support the new gameplay elements i added and also make the graphics and ui and all that stuff too

i would like to go back to it cos ai is fun but i think i should spend many months researching ai and get an actual team to help me program and make the art and stuff

anyways working on another game atm, this one is top secret for the time being. if haxedevelop was on steam i'd probably be at like 3000 hours or something, i might add gamemaker 2 to steam just because i enjoyed when ppl stopped by and asked me what i was doing hehe

There was an update earlier today which added JP interface, according to the community hub.

Japanese text option added, lol.

Holy fuckballs batman!

I just watched a newbie guide to CK2...and damn! This game is giving me the same sort of headaches I used to get during laplace transform classes.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
while waiting for Steam sale I checked my twitter, and I've read the most fascinating conversation

1: *makes a twitter post on how a certain separating controller works as an assistant for drawing*
2: so you use it as a pen or input shortcut?
1: input shortcut for my offhand, yeah!
2: oh, why don't you use PS4 or XB controller?
1: they're too big and bulky
2: so you spend more for an extra set of controlelr?
1: no silly, I use the one that came from the system
3: no thanks, I only need my keyboard and mouse

I mean, that's the most non-sensical sequence and reply I've ever seen

Last summer I watched a 10 hour guide to EUIV and 100 hours of in-game time later I still feel out of my depth. Love games like that.
 
It's very much unlike the other stuff that Slitherine publishes, and the graphics are... ahem... primitive... but Qvadriga at 66% off this weekend is a steal. Turn based chariot-racing with a persistent campaign that's somewhere between a strategy game and a board game? Yes please.

RPS agrees: here and here

Trying out Graze Mode in Danmaku Unlimited 3. Somehow I finally beat the first boss without losing a credit. 1CCing this game is going to take some work. $10 for this game. If you're a fan of this genre this is a STEAL.

Holy crap! Are you on a controller, keyboard, or joystick? I've got a Rap4Kai fightstick just sitting there...

Also, have you played Caladrius Blaze? If so, how does it compare?

Uhm, why did Assassin's Creed movie get so much hate? I actually really liked it! I was so damn scared as a fan of the games that I would hate the movie but was pleasently suprised.

What did you other AC fans think of the movie?


(I know, very OT, but the games are on Steam at least!:D)

Have you ever thought about using Unity? Me and a friend have been working on a game for over a year on that, it's pretty good. Depends what you're making though I suppose.

gave away the keys to the kingdom.
yeah...

although half of gaf constantly argues with me that the site is totally fine >_>

That's due to a difference of opinion on the matter of legitimacy. Some, such as myself, define it as an official affiliation with the publisher in question while others simply consider any site that doesn't scam people or have otherwise questionable policies to be within the same ballpark (i.e. a store is "legit" if there's little to no risk of being out of pocket). To continue with the example of CD Keys, I don't consider it a legitimate operation as it resells keys taken from physical stock, however many would disagree as the site actually has an excellent track record when it comes to the handling of invalid/region-locked/revoked keys and other such issues, which it generally manages to avoid.

Yeah, CD Keys is not legit in the sense that none of their sales are approved by the publisher, but they are legit in the sense that there has been no reports of them selling stolen keys. I wouldn't be too surprised if it turned out that they're a spin-off of an independent game store, and that CD Keys is just using stock that they were getting anyway (it would also explain why they're able to sell Xbox and PSN credit).

I thought it was ok, don't see why some people hate on it so much. Not terrible by any means but very forgettable.

I feel that it is the end of PC gaming. All of the games for which I have been hyped for ages are going to be released this year.

Why can't I see the Mass Effect 3 DLC on Origin? Is it not available in some regions or something?

You buy / access them through the game page in your library, instead of through the store. I think it may have something to do with the fact that DLC from earlier Bioware games (prior to Inquisition) can be only purchased with Bioware points.
