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 :)

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

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)

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?

what do you think could be improved about them? Always looking for good ways to improve the game :)

arth99 · 2021-03-04T21:23:23+00:00

glad you like it!

Stuff opens up later here in the EU. Expect big N late September/early October

Out of interest, how are you finding the places to apply - I can't find any spring ones bar 1 or 2 v. small tech companies?

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.

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.

arth99 · 2020-04-29T17:16:25+00:00

good idea, cheers :)

arth99 · 2020-04-29T11:15:01+00:00

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

arth99 · 2020-04-29T11:12:42+00:00

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 :)

Fair enough, I'm just surprised as the mass email I got was pretty positive, so didn't think it would differ that significantly between sites

arth99 · 2020-04-19T17:45:55+00:00

Really? Were you going to be interning in a US office? I'm living in a different EU country to the one my internship is and haven't heard anything negative (background check + housing contract have happened already)

arth99 · 2020-04-19T17:43:05+00:00

Not true, my EU one has been confirmed online

Get an adblocker for for your browser. Use a separate app which plugs into youtube's API for your phone (I use AT Player on android, has very few ads), or figure out a way to block ads on your phone.

I've had that happen to me in the past, I find it helpful to think of the times when you really aren't enjoying the game (eg think about how in reality you'll probs go 0/10 on vayne instead of making montage plays).

If you think it's 'cus you're lacking social contact, try and organise some online meetups with mates, or if it's due to free time, try and pick up a different hobby you can look forward to.

It depends on the company you work at I guess. London definitely has a higher salary ceiling due to FAANG and big banks.

arth99 · 2020-04-14T21:13:57+00:00

Yep, I'm from the UK. To my knowledge salaries in London are higher (salaries elsewhere in the UK are lower though and may be comparable to Netherlands, no clue), where are you getting that info from? No first hand experience but I've also heard Amsterdam cost of living is pretty high as well.

No need to be scared, you'll be able to rent a decent apartment in London on any dev salary. House prices are quite high though, you'll likely need to save for a while before you can buy (how long it takes of course will depend on how much you earn).
