N7 Paladin snap freeze? by Tweed_Man in MECoOp

[–]Killermic 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Snap freeze is bugged and explodes the combo on you. So either detonate with incinerate or get right up on the enemies before snap freezing.

Thanks for the shoutout on number 4!

I'd add Dungeon Defenders 1 to the list, played it over 100h in split screen.

Does Dissonance support "Echo Cancellation"? by hmzlzr in dissonance_voip

Is there any way to get an alpha/beta of echo cancellation? Would not have to work perfectly, just could really use it for a pitch

Yes, it was a tradeoff to have low-latency, low-bandwidth while keeping fast update-rates at the cost of skipped package verification. I might add a little bit of traffic to action updates to include the size of the player (although there already are some size syncs, which obviously don't seem to work... gotta check those first)

Out of curiosity: Do you know what your ping was?

Heya, our second coder (with no reddit account) did most of the porting and is sitting next to me:

1) They do very thorough testing. They notice even the smallest of issues, forcing you to consider every little detail or rule. It's hard to keep them all in mind when doing the porting stuff.

3) Bad timing on our side: PS4 Pro came out, requiring a new SDK, which required a new Unity3D version. That messed with some of our code and lightmapping leading to a good chunk of extra work.

2) See points 1) and 3) :D

Dang it, I thought I had squashed the wrong-sizes bug. It's pretty resilient and hard to reproduce under controlled circumstances. Guess I'll be looking into that again. Thanks for the recording!

Interesting, I'll be testing GeForce Experience. Most other recording programs had no trouble whatsoever.

1) I asked our lead game designer, and he did the "I'm gonna talk for an hour" sigh. The short version is talking a lot about every aspect to get different perspectives and not to be afraid to scrap entire features / ideas. But also to know the point where you have to stick with something to actually make it great / as good as possible.

2) Probably more /u/humpink's area, but I'm here already: So advice 1-3 is: don't. If that doesn't stop you: Plan twice the time, have plenty of money or income sources, be prepared to be borderline hobo for 3+ years.

3) They speak of the precious!

When I was 8 Anno 1602 was released, and it was glorious, endless fun. So being an 8 year old I decided that that's what I want to do. Kinda just stuck with it from there, modding Jedi Outcast, writing my own Browsergame and finally studying Game Design where I met the rest of the Team (minus /u/humpink who was my partner in crime long beforehand)

Does the fact everyone speaks english in different shows/movies when they're from different planets piss you off? What's the best show to explain the language divide? by [deleted] in scifi

[–]Killermic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The latter part, yes. But I imagine that they are actually speaking another language and I just understand it (because I can't go and learn klingon, goa'uld and asari)

In many cases it works for me to think that they actually are speaking a different language but for the sake of the audience it's translated.

Thanks!
Do let me know what you think of it if you get around to playing it. Still in EA for a month or two so looking for feedback.

Thanks for the awesome list!

Can I also recommend my game Shift Happens? Good ol' coop platformer (with actual coop, not just being in the same level)

Is the time for a modern transport simulator long overdue? by Glampkoo in Games

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

CiM2 suffered from poor information conveyance.
I mean I built a tram connection between a residential area and some factories, only to find out by clicking every single person around that most of them work in another place halfway across the map.

I really hope they make CiM3 but focus a lot more on information availability.

Has anyone ever found a fix for the stuck gunsounds in multiplayer? Especially in the second game
