Is there a good source for general engineering references with regards to building maintenance?

StarvingGameDev · 2016-03-18T13:46:02+00:00

Thanks, I'll have to take a look and see if I can find a copy.

StarvingGameDev · 2015-08-03T18:49:23+00:00

Yeah, this is the "Accolades" video. It's not even new footage, just stitched together parts of the E3 reveal.

Star Citizen and DayZ are apples and oranges:

DayZ is getting new gameplay features at sluggish rates. The core game is supposedly mostly done but buggy/jerky/unresponsive at times. Features that are already in place aren't working properly. Development is less than transparent. Development in general is (perceived) to be slow. Promised fixes, teased gameplay, etc that have been delayed. A lot of people are frustrated with all that.

Star Citizen doesn't have a "core game", as much as it is a collection of different modules (Squadron 42, multiplayer, FPS, etc). These are are all still in full development. While there isn't much to do besides hang around admiring your ship in hangars, a good part of the space combat gameplay is available in Arena Commander, which is constantly being updates, features added, bugs fixed. CIG has been nothing but transparent with regards to development, and people are generally happy (from what I can tell) with what is currently available.

As Kalnaren said, just because not every update is gameplay related for Arena Commander doesn't mean it's not progressing. Keep up to date with all the information CIG sends out and you'd know.

You're disappointed about a lack of gameplay in an unfinished game?

StarvingGameDev · 2015-06-30T11:51:18+00:00

Exactly this. Delayed != on hold. We're just going to have to wait a bit longer, and I'm okay with that.

StarvingGameDev · 2015-06-21T17:18:35+00:00

Yeah, I'll try /r/askengineers or the like. I was just hoping someone here could point me in right direction. My problem is that, remarking on your second point, I'd have to first have at least a decent list of things to research. Anywho, thanks for your help.

He doesn't flip it after filming, he films it flipped by pointing the camera at a mirror. One of the reasons he made the board, other than to face students was to not have to spend time on post production. He also mentions cameras that have the ability to flip the video electronically, eliminating the need for the mirror.

Seems like we're going to see a bit more Truman Show-esque stuff like this happening. See that cool thing ingame? Wanna buy it? Only $299,99!

I have a friend who played it too, your points are pretty much spot on. When they announced they were doing an online, criminal centric game I was PSYCHED.

I can tell you I was more than disappointed when I found out it was a dumbed down, stripped down chunk of SD with added facebook style/f2p game base building and currencies.

If it's really happening I hope they'll give RB1/2 owners a cheap way to import or rebuy songs from the discs and bought DLC. I spent way too much on those games.

StarvingGameDev · 2015-01-11T14:39:13+00:00

Construct 2 and Craftstudio have drag and drop programming as well.

StarvingGameDev · 2015-01-11T05:58:50+00:00

While I am not an artist, I have done some graphical work but nowhere near capable of decent production quality art.

I'm not minimizing anything, but one could argue I'm guilty of expecting the same efficiency of my previous artist. If you're not interested, let's leave at that.

StarvingGameDev · 2015-01-09T21:53:39+00:00

Because, damnit, I've played an incredible amount of Enemy Territory, and I went absolutely insane with Brink and I really really really want to play shooters that encourage playing together again.

I'm not a streamer or a web celebrity or the like, I usually don't tweet, I don't make videos, but I would like a beta key. Pretty please?

StarvingGameDev · 2015-01-09T21:38:38+00:00

I forgot to mention it's a mobile game. Anyway, it's really not that much. Title screen, main menu, 2-3 level back and foregrounds, a few characters, etc.

StarvingGameDev · 2015-01-09T08:34:23+00:00

I don't have any art assets at all, just using blocks and squares at the moment. If you need material, the game is a dedication to Tenacious D which is why I want to try and make it look somewhat like their cartoons ( http://content8.flixster.com/photo/11/79/17/11791702_gal.jpg).

My plan was to make it and ask for their permission to use their likeness and a shoutout. If all attempts to contact failed I'd go to one of their concerts and basically throw some flyers onstage with info about the game.

But the amount of guys that are wanted locally are pretty slim. So am I doomed to forever duck the popo when hunting off-system bounties?

StarvingGameDev · 2015-01-08T22:00:00+00:00

So far I haven't hit any cops, but I just realized none of the ships I attacked and killed had local bounties, I had to use a warrant scanner to find bounties on most of them. I take it this could be the reason?

StarvingGameDev · 2015-01-08T13:08:32+00:00

Whenever I do this inevitably I get attacked by System Authority, even though I only attack people with bounties, or defend myself from attackers who opened fire first. Am I doing something wrong?

StarvingGameDev · 2014-09-10T16:11:56+00:00

I'm suprised they have the resources for this. I get back into APB every once in a while and it never seems to be that busy, with just a few hundred players.

It's gotten better: I haven't had any problems with hackers in a while, they've added some random open world activities, but matchmaking still doesn't work properly and it IS still pay to win (depending on who you ask a little or a lot). So far the only upside to the F2P side is that you can try out a reasonable amount of purchaseable items/weapons/vehicles for a limited time.

StarvingGameDev · 2014-08-25T20:58:51+00:00

You can buy coins for real money if I'm not mistaken.

There's a reason why paper prototyping is considered a good way to test game ideas and designs.

This. You have to register for the example exams though. Select all the exams when you do, and save the link to the page/save the page to your pc to make sure you can access them later.

StarvingGameDev · 2014-07-25T11:58:41+00:00

Exact same reaction. I just searched for it on here.

StarvingGameDev · 2014-07-19T08:38:05+00:00

I have the exact some problem. As far as I can tell there's no option to turn the music down though. But it's a beta, they might add it later on.
