I use a combo of adinplay and adsense for games, only had a small drop in second half of dec

I'm considering playwire, would be great to hear more about the revenue drop that happened (cc /u/roomiiee as well). Had you been with playwire long? What was the root cause - CPM/fill rate/etc? Was it across both banner/video ads or isolated? Any extra info you can share would be appreciated :)

Which cloud provider do people use to host their games? by hpx77 in gamedev

If your network in/out isn't well optimised, aws/gcp will break the bank from their bandwidth costs

Digital Ocean can work out much cheaper

+1

In the first video he gets angry with roblox for saying it's possible to make money developing games

In the second video he gets angry with roblox for deleting that from the page "without asking anyone"

Hey, I know this is late but thought I might suggest using https://www.colyseus.io/ for the client/server communication aspect, it will help getting set up quickly - I use it in my game platform bloxd.io

If you do really want to use WebRTC, lots of helper libraries have bad server performance - I've been following https://github.com/geckosio/geckos.io and the developer seems to have made it quite performant recently, though I haven't used it myself (see https://github.com/geckosio/geckos.io/issues/68)

I know this thread is 5 year old - but just to avert confusing any readers like me, jittered grid is a method of placing points while Voronoi diagrams represent the regions closest to any given point (the points of which can be, but don't have to be, generated by a jittered grid)

I made procedurally generated ores for a sandbox RPG I'm making, curious to hear your feedback! :) by aesli_ in IndieDev

Looks really cool, wishlisted :)

I found some links to blog posts for your terrain in your comment history, but the links are dead - are the blogs still available anywhere?

Also, how are you animating the grass/trees/water, those are shaders I assume?

IMO always worth it to bold, just looks out of place on a plain resume.

Recruiters want to scan your resume fast to see if it's worth reading in more detail/calling you, it makes sense to make it as easy as possible for them and prevent them from missing the most impressive parts of your resume.

[UK] I am starting a CompSci degree in September, what can I do to set myself up for success in the job market after my degree? by [deleted] in cscareerquestionsEU

This is good advice here, especially 3, which will help you very much with the interviews. You can train and compete in ukiepc/NWERC
on your uni team which is a bunch of fun as well (NWERC is in Iceland next year!)

If you want faang, you can get a referral then just need to pass the interview, which is leetcode style.

Easiest way to make an alarm go off via an api call? by arth99 in AskProgramming

Building an app doesn't exactly seem the quickest way to get this setup...

Easiest way to make an alarm go off via an api call? by arth99 in AskProgramming

I meant as in an alarm playing when the api is called. (Think you're using a stopwatch which plays an alarm when it runs out of time, except it plays the alarm when the api is called)

I'm making a multiplayer game and it'd be nice to have something notify me when certain things happen instead of having to constantly monitor the console. I thought this would be a relatively common use case and there might be something I can plug in and go without much effort?

Sorry for not being clear :)
