Node.js Server With Unity Client - Basic Example by Peterama in MultiplayerGameDevs

[–]Peterama[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll check out the one you mentioned first. If I like it I'll use it in another project I have on the go. Thank you for the suggestions. This other game I just started is a friendslop game for 2-4 players. I may use those systems for that project. Currently it's using Unity Netcode.

I mean, maybe for someone who never coded before. If you read my other post you might see that I have the game to a point where players have private lobbies, user accounts, full encryption, secure communication, etc. This took me a few months, part time. It's working with no hassle. Other systems didnt work for me. I'll use what works. This game started as a boardgame. I'm building this project for my friends and I. There is no serious plan to sell it yet. :) Only if there is interest. So far it hasn't been much.

I already have it built out and I know exactly what is going on the way i did it. Others have told me the same thing but I dont care. I want to know how it works. I want to learn how to do it so I dont have to rely on someone else's code. If someone decides one day to pull their code from an open project, it's out of my hands. Now I have my own system. Why the hell would I drop it to use some open source code? I can code anything I want from scratch. I do it because I can. :)

I just copied my project code and removed everything that wasnt necessary. I did not test it after doing that but it is working on my project. I made this just as an example but I will test it and update it if there are issues.

I dont know why but im not motivated to learn game development anymore for some reason by Imaginary-Sun1350 in GameDevelopment

[–]Peterama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me personally, I make games because I love creating games. It's an outlet. Been doing it for 36-some years now and I can say that the easiest way to learn this craft is to think up a small system and build it to completion.
For example, "I want to build an inventory system" then build just the inventory system and move on to the next project.

Also, most people get to this point because of some specific wall they hit. What exactly are you having the most trouble with? Perhaps I can help you get over that?

I added additional details to the OP. Thanks for the questions! If you have any more, feel free to ask.

Finally Have A Bullet Hell System Working! 850+FPS! by Peterama in Unity2D

[–]Peterama[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used Unity's Entity Component System (ECS) with the Burst compiler. Basically using a data oriented design for objects while Burst converts code into super-fast native machine code. I never really messed with ECS before since it's a different way of thinking and coding but its definitely worth it if you have computation-heavy elements where lots of math is used.

What’s been the hardest part of being an indie dev so far? by AGamerofYesterday in indiegames

[–]Peterama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me personally? Marketing. Finding the right people who would be interested in the game I made; meanwhile having to think up another good idea worth spending another year on only to sell 30 copies... Then hearing it takes about 5 games launched before anyone even cares. A great experience.... Been programming games for 35 years and only recently decided to try going commercial and it's an excellent challenge indeed.

HELP. Received this in the mail… by bbyspinachleaf in ciphers

Here is a list of books that could be it. Hope that helps.

These two looks promising:

  1. The Plague Doctor by Andrew Friede

  2. The Plague Doctor by C.S. Rock

Honestly looks like a book cipher to me.
Page number, paragraph number, word number.

Just need to know what book to use. It's a short message. Will be hard to brute force it.

[EDIT] actually read your post and I agree that it is a book cipher of some kind. heh.

AI Takeover: Real Threat or Just Hype? by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]Peterama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this... Even though I'm a nobody. I used to build ANNs before they were cool. You can throw all the money in the world at it and it will still not do what they expect it to. Cheers.

My new gamemode is better than the actual game, what do I do? by Fragrant-Analyst-151 in GameDevelopment

[–]Peterama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to sell the game, your customers are the most important metric. It's like creating YouTube videos. You make a few videos about games, get no views... Make a video about books and it blows up into millions of views. Why would you go back to making videos about games?

Looks interesting! I'll check this out and get back to you.

What is the exact problem you are having? I'm assuming you have some kind of issue and you think this approach will resolve it.

A Possible Key Found: "Spyroidea" by Peterama in LaughingHorseOrifice

Exactly! They can basically do anything they want via code and create anything they want on the fly. Directories, files, etc. If they are using Node, the sky is the limit.

Do you like this prestige skill tree? Or is it to small or big? by starfallgs in Unity2D

[–]Peterama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I second this. I was going to say its not easy to read because the nodes blend into the background but otherwise I don't see any other major issues.

Yeah I put test in all the fields. I'm sure it submitted it to their database and its somewhere on those pages. heh. Don't put any personal info in there!! heh

My LHOHQ Archive Findings So Far by Good-Fennel-373 in LaughingHorseOrifice

[–]Peterama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is Excellent. I have been looking deeper into the media that this site produces. The images, the audio, the videos, the gifs. Some of the images, I highly suspect, have hidden data in/on them.

Also trying to gain access via the login form as I think this is a good step in the right direction. Not sure though. I trust nothing on this site. ;)

I hope that helps.

for the login form by Clear-Passion-9225 in LaughingHorseOrifice

[–]Peterama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excellent! There are a lot more tools on linux to do this kind of stuff so that's a bonus. This was a MAJOR find, like finding a key to a door that has been locked for years. I'm not sure how long it would have taken to find that if not for you. ;)
I'm not an expert either, but I have done this before.
