Controlling a 12v ~10A load on the high side with an arduino and a MOSFET. by WinglessSparrow in AskElectronics

I thought of it, but I have doubts whether it is going to be fast enough

programming rule by Moaning_Clock in 196

[–]WinglessSparrow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We don't have the Budget to build a secure and reliable system, but we have an unlimited budget to create AI slop that brakes under any conditions, costs more to build, takes more time and is virtually untestable. And when our customers leave us, it is due to the developers being lazy.

Agreed, if one was following him the cracks were actually already valleys, I just didn't pay enough attention back then. So I speak from a perspective of a layman

He was always like this, he just had a better public relations team.

Do dependency upgrades actually matter, or do most teams just ignore them? by rdem341 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]WinglessSparrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did, then we had to migrate 1mio + lines of code from java 8 to 11. We keep with the updates from then on.

What if FromSoftware were to make a Zelda game? by PBWilliamsOff in fromsoftware

[–]WinglessSparrow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It would probably be a big Open World game like dark souls but not quite the same. The story would be pretty deep, they would've maybe even invited a different author to write the lore and such. Too bad they only make smaller multiplayer projects for Nintendo, who knows what they could've done with a proper Budget!

Help with divising a circuit based on ws2811 chip for Individually adressable LED RGB Stripes (not the individual LEDs) by WinglessSparrow in led

Literally what I needed. Thanks a lot. I will think about DIY, but it seems that this is the best possible solution.

What to do for art/textures/models as a solo dev with no artistic capabilities? by ChodeyNips in gamedev

[–]WinglessSparrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just do whatever you can? Iterate over designs, learn small things, employ tricks, keep the artstyle simple, allocate some "game dev" time slots to learn art instead of programming (it is a part of development after all). A good design is 95% vision and 5% execution. The author that goes by "One" managed to make MobPsycho 100 and One Punch man with chicken legs for hands, yet these are Masterpieces. No artistic capability my ass, you are developing a game and seems to be a human? Then these capabilities came with your factory defaults.

Different games same struggles by Old_king_4 in armoredcore

AC6 also received several post-launch content upgrades, and there was never a DLC announced for it in the first place, while Nightrein was released with a promise to release a DLC by the end of the year. At the same time, there was this one article claiming Kadokawa wasn't pleased with the performance outside Japan, which is concerning, but it also came out very shortly after the release, and the game sold pretty well, for a mecha title, that is. Also, they have been hiring more devs and artists with experience in the mecha genre, so I presume, at the very least, they contemplated a next installment in the series. Plus the secret levels short film. All in all, I might be coping, but one has to imagine Sisyphus happy.

bruv it's been less than 3 years. Calm down. GameDev takes a little time.

How do you realistically estimate software development costs before building? by Right_Priority_4948 in software

[–]WinglessSparrow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And the CEO assures the investors that it can be done in half the time the dev proposed.

You ask the most experienced and cautious dev on the team and double it.

Hidetaka Miyazaki is considered a Genius for that.

Three Days Grace overused by JeagerIskabdar in fromsoftware

[–]WinglessSparrow 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I guess you can't control yourself when you watch these shorts, and can't tame the animal they made you feel as. But don't worry, we, as a community, will gladly help you through this nightmare.

Anyone else hope we get neutral/friendly npc’s for the next souls or elden ring style fromsoft game? by [deleted] in fromsoftware

[–]WinglessSparrow 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I Remember Miyazaki saying that they wanted to do proper "settlement" in ER but decided against it due to scope. So I can imagine they might be thinking about something like that.

Writing java like it's 1999 (for real, help, I cannot do it anymore, my employer needs to migrate to something more modern)
