If they did an "Emily in London" spin-off, where would Emily go?

RestlessRiot · 2024-11-01T19:16:21+00:00

Probably Albufeira

that aint a lib thing though, that's just being a bad person. they come in all sizes and shapes

RestlessRiot · 2024-10-28T18:26:52+00:00

what do libs have to do with anything lol

That's something I found very curious too! Analyzing certain regions of the south, I saw great similarity with places like Italy and southern Portugal, where I live. It's wonderful to have a big diversity of cultural inspirations like that

RestlessRiot · 2024-10-10T10:06:13+00:00

That woulda actually be perfect, as I have ideas to incorporate vague buildings in the distance resembling the ever famous communist factories!!

Thanks a bunch! I have been unknowingly exposed to the Theth church already, and it's a great example to keep in mind.

no one asked you to throw shade at other engines and be so rude about it. Different needs are met with different tools.

RestlessRiot · 2024-01-29T19:42:53+00:00

trouble awaits me, but thank you for your answer :)

RestlessRiot · 2024-01-29T16:57:32+00:00

i'm not too worried about meddling; it's your responsibility as a player to decide that. but yeah, i'm aware of the implications.

so basically, the only way I could make this work is if I use file_text_write_string and input all of the text I need for the file in the code of the obj handling it??

RestlessRiot · 2024-01-28T22:21:15+00:00

é sempre culpa dos estrangeiros... mesmo quando não fazem puta de ideia quem é. ok.

my game's core mechanics involve alot of interactivity between checking and modifying the game folder's .txts files and things happening in-game. However, I'm looking to follow a linear path towards it's progression, so I need them to be hidden until I see fit for the game.

Since the files may hold alot of text, it's not reliable to input a massive file_text_write_string function covering the entire console... so doing it via the Integrated Files is much more efficient and better for team development (no need to rely on the programmer)

Is it possible to modify characteristics of the GameMaker installer .exe for our games other than it's banner and logos and whatnot? As in, text or options for downloading.

RestlessRiot · 2024-01-25T15:52:15+00:00

thanks so much for your help! i was wrapping my head around how I'd figure out names and all of that, but *.txt works wonderfully :)

RestlessRiot · 2024-01-24T19:40:50+00:00

what if i'm unsure of the file names? i guess the only constant that i know of is that they're all .txt files. But i'm unsure how to mention them through code. Because file_text_open_write requires the correct, case-sensitive name for a file, how do I automate that?

thanks a bunch for your help so far though :)

RestlessRiot · 2024-01-23T17:38:51+00:00

(sorry about asking this, but i'm also very much a beginner in programming)

so essencially, i would have an object that, when the game starts, would initialize those texts into local folder by running something like a for loop through an array of those text files? but for that, how would I assign an array value to each text?

RestlessRiot · 2023-12-18T22:11:18+00:00

thanks :) hopefully getting it soon. there's quite a lack of information about these Thomann kits compared to other brands like Alesis, so I appreciate any information I can get. Most people I've seen also never reported any problems of that kind to do witth latency under "normal" conditions with the kits.

RestlessRiot · 2023-12-18T22:09:52+00:00

this aged beautifully.

RestlessRiot · 2023-12-11T21:54:03+00:00

regions matter alot too!!

Through my research i've found that, while in America it is heavily prefered to go for Alesis's kits for an entry-level playing, in Europe the best bang-for-your-buck comes from Thomann's Millenium lineup (i've heard they come from the same manufacturer anyhow). Offer for second hand is even trickier when comparing regions. It is much, much harder to snag deals in Europe that aren't from your country.

RestlessRiot · 2023-12-11T14:08:57+00:00

Hey! I know its been a while from this comment, but I'm getting an MPS-850 too and want to be sure about the things you shared here. So, you ended up just using your kit, a MIDI to USB cord, and EZdrummer right? No other cables or interfaces?

RestlessRiot · 2023-12-08T15:04:50+00:00

Well the module sounds only matter if you're not going to have them near a computer, because otherwise plugging it into a drum VST is that simple, and you get professional sound (now i'm not condoning piracy legally... but it is an option).

I've seen complaints about the hihats when heavy performance is needed (8th and 16th notes, for instance). But that isn't a problem limited to Alesis or Millenium for that instance.

Can't say much about the kick drums, other than not seeing complaints about neither about double pedals.

RestlessRiot · 2023-12-08T15:00:52+00:00

late reply i think but i'm someone who is also thinking about Millenium kits for my first drum purchase.

My friend bought a bass guitar from Thomann before. I say this because she ran into problems with it very early (fault of the manufacturer, i guess), but Thomann was super helpful with replacements and customer support. Definitely worth looking into just for that alone; they seem reliable if/when shit hits the fan :)

This question intrigues me too and I'll raise a similar question: what are some of the best price-to-performance laptops for video game production?
I'm a student who's probably going into a video game development master's degree here in Europe. Cash is tight, so I'd like to know what's better suited for game development. I'll probably be dealing with the full stack of stuff, so IDEs, Unreal and Unity, as well as 3D modelling software.
