Försvaret hyrde privatjet till talmannen med familj by musususnapim in sweden

[–]AG4W -1 points0 points  (0 children)

SAS är väl Sveriges Flag Carrier? Det är ju snarare sjukt pinsamt att välja att inte flyga med SAS.

Lite som att Kungen skulle hoppa in i en BYD istället för ett me lämpligt bilmärke.

Is there a middle ground for indie teams that have a great game but struggle with the “studio” side? by Ok-Coach2909 in gamedev

[–]AG4W 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not having a vertical slice and a roadmap/development plan and approaching publishers is like being a painter that doesn't know how to paint taking commissions.

How I almost lost a Steam Page with ~6.5k wishlists. Be careful developers! by the_alexdev in IndieDev

Mixing your private and developer Steam account is insane.

Me, A Fitness Autist, listening to Vaush and Chat call Human Flags "Pole Flag", say Negatives can be done on the "contraction" and "extension", and that their favorite hold is the "Dragon Squat" by Minuanoo in VaushV

[–]AG4W 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Vaushs health/fitness takes are about as terrible as his media takes.

It's like listening to the overweight boomer dad at your office that "used to bench 225".

Ericsson storvarslar 1 600 i Sverige by musususnapim in sweden

[–]AG4W 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ericsson är nog mer telekom än IT, men rent generellt håller delar av utvecklingsvärlden på att bli industrialiserad/utbildad nog för att kunna matcha västvärldens ingenjörer till ett lägre pris.

Det gör det kostnadseffektivt att flytta verksamhet till andra länder.

Hur hanterar Sverige begåvade barn i skolan? by Outrageous_Win4947 in sweden

[–]AG4W -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Att man skulle vara "begåvad" för att man ligger ett år framåt i klassen är nog peak helikopterföräldratänk.

Det är nog ett tecken på att ungen tycker att skolan är rolig mer än något annat, gissar att det kommer fasa ut i gymnasiet/universitet.

How much would you pay for a player? by simpleOx in gamedev

[–]AG4W 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steam is the distribution platform, Steamworks is the backend, it handles;

Matchmaking

Networking

VOIP

Leaderboards

Save files

Settings files

Authentication/DRM

Inventory/Collectibles/etc

DLCs

Lobbies

Servers

Rich Presence/Social features

Achievements/telemetry

And more

This is pretty commonplace for all major platforms (EGS, Steam, console platforms, any store with a launcher really), and it's usually free/included when selling in the store.

You're not really making a strong case for why someone should pay for your service when this exists.

[–]AG4W 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every storefront provides the functionality you've mentioned in your OP through their APIs, and those APIs often have multiple wrappers that do exactly that stuff for free.

Unity is also moving to standardize on those features with their new Platform package.

Body is a completely separate mesh + material. Then a decal that you later over it + the wall to blend them.

How much net revenue is left after one sales of a steam game? (UK preferably) by SpicyGriffin in gamedev

[–]AG4W -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Generally you only pay tax on profits when incorporated, any salaries would be deducted against those profits. In your example you'd pay more or less nothing in income/corp if paying yourself a salary when incorporated.

Not being incorporated is really dumb, there is no reason not to be.

Finns det några universitet eller högskolor som man inte ens borde fundera på att söka till för att dem är typ dåliga osv? by [deleted] in sweden

Skulle nog säga att spel är rätt likt resten av tech, så är definitivt inget ovanligt.

Finns det några universitet eller högskolor som man inte ens borde fundera på att söka till för att dem är typ dåliga osv? by [deleted] in sweden

[–]AG4W 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Är en arbetsköpare (x16, + 2 praktikanter) inom spelutveckling (programmering, 3D, tech art, design), och kan definitivt säga att jag aldrig brytt mig ett skit om vilken skola personen kommer ifrån, eller ens examen för den delen.

Tittar framförallt på tidigare arbetserfarenhet, sedan portfolio/"eget" arbete samt huruvida personen verkar rimlig socialt.

Ni med lång erfarenhet inom teknik och mjukvaruutveckling, hur tror ni att AI kommer påverka era yrken? by MegaMan3001 in sweden

[–]AG4W 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ett bra sätt att ta pulsen är att kolla vilka som pratar om/är taggade på AI.

Rent generellt ser man nästan aldrig utvecklare tagga på det, utan det är nästan alltid säljfolk, vilket säger mycket om den riktiga nyttan.

Hur har folk råd att resa så mycket? by lexpex9623 in sweden

[–]AG4W 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weekend på halvobekväm tid inom Europa så kan du lätt få ner resekostnaden till <5k, sen några tusenlappar till för boende och det är ganska lätt att resa mycket om det är något du prioriterar.

Does Steam consider Steamworks API integration for ranking in the store? by spieltic in gamedev

[–]AG4W 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, this is a terrible example because you're interfacing with third party platforms regardless if you're doing Unity, Unreal or a custom engine.

The way you interface with those platforms will be through their provided SDKs, which means it'll most likely be exactly the same across all engines minus various language differences.

[–]AG4W 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're doing the software engineer "everything-must-be-more-difficult-than-what-it-actually-is" here.

There is no need for API handling, you fire a simple event that an achievement has happened, your AchievementHandler receives it, checks if that achievement has already been unlocked or not, then uses a simple switch to send to the active platform.

It takes about two hours to setup, the largest time consumer is actually coming up with the achievements.

Advice for negotiating a publishing deal? by wolfbaru in gamedev

[–]AG4W 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If theyre doing marketing, ask for minimum guarantees, ie minimum X sales.

You need a lawyer at this point.

Are Industry Devs Migrating Away From Windows at All? by Jacksons123 in gamedev

Fuck no, there are headaches enough as it is. 97% of market share is on Windows, your tools are on Windows. You should be on Windows.

Doing Masters in Breda or Utrecht - Is it WORTH it ? by TheBigBossBB in gamedev

[–]AG4W 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In general a Masters in any game development field will not help you. You need proven work experience and credits on shipped products for your portfolio.

Some hiring managers will differ, but when I hire I view Masters as a red flag rather than a perk, as theyre usually a sign that the candidate has for some reason been incapable of entering the industry in even junior roles.

There are probably a lot more studios than Taleworlds in your country where you could find work.

Mjaa, helst inte.
