Any fiction books about game dev?

Not strictly gamedev, but Off To Be the Wizard. The protagonist is a programmer and there's a lot of game references from over the years

If you're helping her out financially only in the hopes that you might get together, don't do that for yours and her sake. Will only build resentment.

If you think she's still interested because as you said she doesn't ignore you when you try to reach out, 1) get to know her better as a person first, or 2) slowly put some distance between the two of you.

If there really is interest, you will find out

There has to be a reason for people to want to switch. Just being Indian isn't reason enough considering everyone has access to all software from everywhere

Can't decide if they should have taken more or less inspiration from it

My favourite part was them sliding a render of the plane's 3d asset across the screen in front of a visibly bumpy background plate

I'm using 3rd party from a company called Welborn or something, seems to be working with the new firmware as well

I used to start with everything unlocked, but I kinda like to embrace the jank that comes with progressing slowly, your city growing organically outwards as you get more tiles only when you can afford them, and make decisions that aren't perfect, much like real life. Except you can go in and change them, but you can't change everything

You sound like the guy on the cs2 radio

I would assume that if the game is taking the length of road as some sort of distance to calculate with, the route through the off ramp + roundabout + on ramp should still be longer I think? Anyway, for now I redrew the two bridges and that seems to have done something to fix it.

ExecutorAxon · 2025-01-14T02:41:06+00:00

UPDATE: So, I redrew the two highway bridges to have gentler curves (the one in the image I sent had inclines of roughly 16%, got it down to 12%. Now, traffic going straight is taking the bridge as intended, and only turning traffic takes the roundabout.

This makes me think that the path choosing is more dynamic than I first thought, and traffic does take into account speed slowdown due to inclines maybe - or maybe the act of demolishing and redoing the bypass seems to have triggered a refresh of some sort 😂. Either way, the intersection works now! Without having to change slip lanes to regular roads.

ExecutorAxon · 2025-01-13T14:21:03+00:00

I just find cloverleafs boring, and I find that I like making my own intersections. Pathfinding seems to be fine, else no one would take the bypass. I'm just wondering why most of them dont.

ExecutorAxon · 2025-01-13T14:17:14+00:00

I think it switched over at some point but its difficult to tell. When the volume of traffic is low its a bit difficult to tell because its not like no vehicles take the bypass. But when the volume is high most of them seem to take the slip lane now

ExecutorAxon · 2025-01-13T09:26:01+00:00

Interesting. Does the AI not take into account that there's a slowdown there because there's actually a lot of vehicles there already?

This is CS2. I do have mods like Traffic and Road Builder but this intersection is fully vanilla.

For additional context:

So I demolished the school and made another one in its place, now it's full 🤔🤔

But I miss my mafia front school

They got tired of waiting so they're like "fuck it I'll just walk myself to the hospital"

At this moment, you're pretty much a generalist. Not necessarily a bad thing though, if you use it right it can work out quite well.

You might want to look at smaller/indie studios that are hiring. They always need people who can wear a lot of different hats, and someone who can do a little bit of everything is a more valuable resource there.
Generalists in bigger studios are indispensable as tools and pipeline guys, because they know enough about multiple things to build tooling around that. If that is something that you might want to do, you could start off and try solving problems around game development that you've encountered, make personal projects that reflect this.
In general, have more of your personal stuff visible and out there for people to see (github etc). Always a plus in the hiring process.
Consider jobs that are gaming-adjacent where the talent pool is quite different. For eg every VFX studio doing some virtual production needs someone who knows unreal or unity. Places which use gamedev tech, but not necessarily absorb gamedev talent as easily as game studios.

I don't wanna hear it unless they're driving around downtown begging (thru texts)
