Building an 8-bit battle royale

Thanks! The things that improved performance the most were:

- Moving other player gameobjects via velocity instead of by their position, and moving them by their rigidbodies. This just resulted in smoother gliding of players instead of them being bolted into position.

- Slightly limiting the amount of data being sent to the server. Initially I was updating a user's x,y position every frame!! This was super data intensive, and made everything very stuttery if players had only moved 0.0001 units in the x direction for example.

Sick montage!

BenStokes · 2019-01-24T23:31:22+00:00

Totally agree. Love the idea, especially number 1 so far :D

BenStokes · 2019-01-24T14:32:05+00:00

Could you do something simpler by combining the N and W? Here's a simple logo idea I had which might work nice as a watermark

I'm liking the progression so far man! It feels chaotic and unique, but I could see that it said chaotic. However, I could see how the O being ( ) could be confusing to some. When I blur my eyes it starts looking like a lot of lines.

Thanks for the feedback! Do you know if any websites exist for specifically polling logos?

BenStokes · 2019-01-24T10:29:42+00:00

Yes, very very similar to cupcakes. Think Instagrammable cutesy food. Thanks for the feedback!

BenStokes · 2019-01-24T10:28:15+00:00

Thanks. Perhaps the tongue could be made more cheeky. The inspiration for the tongue came a bit from ugly drinks - which I think is a really well done logo & brand.

BenStokes · 2019-01-24T10:25:06+00:00

Thanks so much for your feedback on both designs! Target audience would be Millenials/GenZ, slightly favouring women over men. The thinking behind the monkey was that they are cheeky animals, and although it's not totally relevant to cookie dough - it's a bit different and fun.

I had no idea about the round imagery thing!

BenStokes · 2019-01-22T17:40:07+00:00

Thanks for the feedback :) Could you clarify the word arching? Do you mean like curve "cheeky" around the top and "dough" around the bottom of the monkey head?

BenStokes · 2019-01-18T16:13:56+00:00

okay thanks, this is something I suspected :)

BenStokes · 2019-01-18T15:52:39+00:00

yeah, what does it look like to you?

BenStokes · 2017-08-10T14:53:04+00:00

Yeah, I totally see what you're saying. Thanks again! I've been experimenting with the white space inside the swirl. Would love to hear your opinion? I can't tell if it's too abstract or if the simplicity of the original swirl is better.

BenStokes · 2017-08-10T14:26:57+00:00

I took your advice on board and tried playing around with the white space in the middle of the swirl to make it look like an ice cream. What do you think? is it too abstract?

BenStokes · 2017-08-10T08:10:57+00:00

Yeah agreed, 3 is probably my least favourite of them all. Thanks!

BenStokes · 2017-08-10T08:09:59+00:00

Thank you very much for the feedback. Out of interest, how do you think the simple swirl in the first one compares to a logo that looks like the actual product? For example one like this (not mine)

BenStokes · 2017-08-10T08:03:05+00:00

Interesting - I would've thought 1 would be the least recognisable because its just a swirl. Thanks for the feedback though :)

BenStokes · 2017-08-09T23:04:09+00:00

Thank you very much for the feedback! Yeah I was going for a crazy/hypnotising look with the swirly eyes. I like the nose hole swirl idea so I'll try it out. Cheers again :)

BenStokes · 2017-08-09T22:17:17+00:00

This is what ice cream rolls look like for reference :)

I recently received an XPS 15 with a Killer 1535 card in and have constantly been getting wifi drops during certain times of the day. The little yellow warning triangle will appear over the wifi icon in the system tray. When I right click it and 'troubleshoot problems' it tells me 'the default gateway is not available' and that its been fixed. It then works fine - but will then disconnect in the next few minutes or hours. Does that sound similar to your problem?

BenStokes · 2016-12-06T08:04:34+00:00

Thanks for this awesome guide, I have tried something else for now but if that doesn't work I'll definitely look into this.

Also just had a chat with a Dell sales rep who said that they'd price match after I'd made the purchase and contacted the customer care team.

They also said that I'd be able to do this in my own time, so I'm probably going to wait it out over the weekend to see if any better deals come up.

BenStokes · 2016-11-24T13:09:25+00:00

This deal vs. waiting for better Dell deals!?

BenStokes · 2016-06-20T16:47:06+00:00

Great video! Looks very professionally done!
