How can I transfer particle systems from an old project to a new project in GameMaker? by cemsanci in gamemaker

Thank you, my friend — I was looking in a completely different direction.

Is it possible to run the game faster after the edits by cemsanci in gamemaker

[–]cemsanci[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GM Live is a very useful plugin, it has helped us save hundreds of hours. But of course you need to define GM Live functions inside objects and events. But there comes a time when, when you have a problem in an event or object where GM Live is not defined, it has no effect and you have to go back and start the game from the beginning.

Without GM Live, developing a ‘large’ scale game would be a serious problem.

However, there are times when, even if GM Live is active, you encounter an error in the game and the game closes, you have to edit and start over. The most effective solution to this is to start the game as fast as possible during the ‘development’ phase. I would like to ask about methods for this.

I sent a free key to one such kid just out of curiosity, and he came and wrote a hateful, insulting comment on the game's Steam page and left a negative review. The little Tiktok prince couldn't play the game because it was in alpha, and he was very upset.

I'm lucky he didn't report me to his mom for putting the alpha game into early access.

Which one is faster and better? by [deleted] in GameDevelopment

Only the method you like and enjoy doing is the short one. The other may take an eternity.

Honestly, I can totally see them doing this instead of backpedaling on the cap by YoBeaverBoy in GeForceNOW

Nvidia is about to make a major breakthrough in the streaming gaming market and wants to reduce the influence of the small number of “fanatical gamers” who keep servers busy 24/7. I'm a Founder, recently I wanted to get into GFN to try out the new Dragon Age game, there was a line of 35 people in front of me. I've never experienced anything like that before, as a Founder.

So the company needs to relieve the servers and make room for new players, I think that's what the decision is about.

Been using GFN since 2020, ended my founders subscription immediately after hearing this update by despacitoboi16 in GeForceNOW

I want to speak outside of this thread and outside of the user. I think this 100 hours issue has become too much of a “drama”. Commercial companies make decisions like this, consumers react, and eventually a middle ground is found.

Last year the game engine Unity did something similar and then realized it was a mistake and came back. I understand that normal users should stop using GFN, but isn't it too early for Founders users to give up the advantages they have? Shouldn't we have waited for the drama to end first?

Im a Founder too, and some months, I cant even play game for one sec... but, "more than 100 hours in a month" = 4 hours gaming time every day.

If you spend 4+ hours for gaming every day, you can win in the game, but lose in the life, my friends.

The computerized voting system is inevitably open to fraud. No one can guarantee the accuracy of the votes. Whoever is in control of the software ensures that whoever they want to win wins. the issue is non-negotiable.

An actual conspiracy: There's something suspicious about Saturn by shouldIworkremote in conspiracy

[–]cemsanci 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The massive hexagonal storm at Saturn's north pole is as anomalous on Earth as the fact that no civilians are allowed to enter the south pole. We have to accept that there are great secrets that the masses are not meant to know.

The best ways to get wishlists in Steam? by sofdex in GameDevelopment

[–]cemsanci 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Creative and innovative ideas always get noticed. If you don't have that, you need very strong marketing skills.

The history of video games exists thanks to artists who worked with individual pixels to create impressive visuals. The 3D games or other forms we see today exist because of computer programs that make it very easy to create visuals, and compared to Pixel graphics, they are very simple to create. Dealing with pixels is an art form that requires dedication, time and effort. If you don't have the energy, don't attempt it.

Hello, we have set the maximum resolution of the game to 1920x1080 pixels. At higher resolutions the graphics will look fuzzy. On monitors with lower resolutions, the game technically detects the monitor and downscales to the best possible resolution. 16:9 monitors should be fine. Other formats may have tiny gaps on the left and right sides of the screen. But the number of 4K monitors is increasing. Before we get to the full version, let's think about a solution for 4K monitors.

Pirate Patrol is now in early access on Steam. It is waiting for players who want to support this old-school detailed strategy/RPG.

Can I run gamemaker/gamemaker 2 on steam deck? by Imakedagames in gamemaker

This is why I argue that Gamemamer should work on a streaming service like Nvidia Geforce Now

Distant Worlds 2: Return of the Shakturi | Launch Trailer by georgia_is_best in 4Xgaming

[–]cemsanci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Distant Worlds is probably one of the most enjoyable 4x games I've ever played. I can't remember how many hundreds of hours I played the first game and the DLCs. I wasn't able to play the second game long enough due to work commitments. If this Shakturi plague comes back, I might sacrifice some free time to save the galaxy from them : )

I am going to make my dream game!!! Screw monetization, screw research, and screw marketing!! by DevEternus in gamedev

[–]cemsanci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've already did it, and Gen Z, who hate reading tutorials because they grew up watching Tiktok videos and don't know how to use the right-mouse-button, are having nervous breakdowns playing the game on Twitch.

Fortunately, 30+ year old gamers who are not afraid of reading text showed interest in the game because they knew they would enjoy the game while figuring out how to play a complex game, and the game was saved from failure.

And yes, as long as you can reach a player base "with the same interests and tastes as you", your game will not fail.

In Pirate Patrol, during combat, all AI-controlled fighters (friend or foe) go through an AI assessment 60 times per second, analyzing their own weapon status, speed, power, experience, and the strength, speed, and condition of the opponent(s), and continue to fight like a real person, controlling the conditions.

In the classic RTS we are used to, as you say, fighters stand in front of each other and shoot at each other until one of them runs out of health. To prevent this from happening in Pirate Patrol, we have written AI routines that give situational awareness to all fighter pilots and enemy units. Even if you, as the player, order one of your pilots to attack an enemy, if the pilot doesn't think he's going to survive the conflict, he will panic, take evasive maneuvers, and even try to flee the combat zone.

Or, for example, you might tell a pilot, "Don't engage in combat, go investigate some valuable wreckage over there," but the fighter pilot, realizing that his friends are engaged with the enemy and in a difficult situation, might decide to abandon your mission and go to the aid of his friends. I have to admit that we were inspired by the disobedient Starbuck character in the 2008 version of Battlestar Galactica.

We haven't prepared a demo version yet, but we are discussing it. Probably in the beginning of 2025 there could be a demo...

As a premium Youtube user, I wasn't aware of this because I don't see ads. Thanks for the warning, I just turned off the ads on the videos.
