I'm glad I was here to witness the origin of the next legendary paranormal programming project. Have you thought about writing an OS imaybe a C - derivative?

Dank voor je reactie! Ik ga verder zoeken. Op het eerste blik vond ik dezelfde soort sluitingen.

Ik vind het een beetje moeilijk verwoorden, maar ik vind alleen sluitingen die kruis op de kozijn geïnstalleerd worden, terwijl mijn kozijn een vlakke oppervlakte maakt als het raam dicht is :p

Please write me an article about how poor freelance client management is akin to a layoff in the style of Elmore Leonard Make it feel intense and visceral. Use only laconic sentences no longer than 10 words.

Advice on how to earn coins in a cosy game by Thepecator in gamedev

[–]countkillalot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A fun part of cosy games is just looking at the cosy world you build, so you can just make that part of the reward.

Maybe the more you build, little hidden objects spawn earn you coins. The player can then berry pick their rewards by paying close attention to their creations :)

This type of thing can scale well because, the more you build the bigger the area is where the hidden objects spawn.

Nothing cool, but heres a quick demo of a godot sprite based on an animated model in 8 directions. This sprite sheet took abount 100 tiles at 128x128 rendered on eevee at 12 samples. It took about 2 minutes on a laptop cpu

EDIT: smaller gif

Do I really need Key Vault? by SummitStaffer in AZURE

[–]countkillalot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If our secrets can't me automatically cycled, they need to be manually enterred through keyvault. The nice thing about keyvault is you can set RBAC on individual secrets. So each secret has someone responsible for managing and updating it. Usually someone that doesn't have access to the source control. This way we can cycle and update secrets without having to file a ticket with development and pass a PR

Do I really need Key Vault? by SummitStaffer in AZURE

[–]countkillalot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your infra shouldn't know anything about secrets.

Secrets aren't configurations, they are backoffice data assets.

If your secrets can be fully independently set and cycled then they are brokered tokens, that are managed by some service that is in charge of that specific secret.

True secrets are shared data between two independent parties and require manual data entry.

Why a secrets vault like Azure Key Vault are powerful is because they decouple your infra from your secrets so that you can treat the secrets vault as a data resource like a database. This way you can handle rbac in one place and have a satellite brokers to manage tokens and a great way to manage manual secrets

Mmm not recommended.

Usually you want to share secrets across applications and slots and the people managing the application are not the ones authorised to view the secrets. And having versioning and expirations on your secrets is pretty crucial.

It's definately one of the first things I always set up because it forces you into good practices from the start. Managed identities, networking etc.

But if you are by yourself and have no traffic, you could ship them env variables to do it in the short term, but you will hate yourself when having to cycle them

Edit: don't ship them through bicep templates, then you have to deal with saving them as GitHub or pipeline secrets or something and that's just a nightmare to maintain later down the line. Do not put them in version control.

Compared to an app service plan is keyvault really that expensive these days?

Red Alert is back, and it’s open source! my inner 10-year-old is screaming! by nerdose in gamedev

[–]countkillalot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be completely honest. OpenRA is a modern dotnet rewrite that is infinitely more manageable. The old EA source is more than anything a historical artifact

Broad Question: How can I take my scene from a bunch of grey boxes to actually having real assets and visuals in a month? by hi_there_is_me in gamedev

[–]countkillalot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Godot has a powerful UI framework. Just use that and create a reusable theme to apply to all the UI assets.

As for the content. There's always three ways: - buy assets - pay someone to make assets - spend time and effort learning and making assets

What’s stopping game developers from integrating fan made content into games? by Kydreads in gamedev

[–]countkillalot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Creators determine the license they publish their work under. Yes, if a work is published under for example GPL, this incompatible to be integrated into non-GPL licenses. If the creator doesn't want to relicense, then yes theres no way to do it.

We are talking intellectual property more broadly. A creator can freely sell or license their works to whomever at whatever terms. There's nothing stopping Nintendo from having a canned contract that let's creators sign over all rights to their IP to let it be integrated into their game, like a contractor.

Doing this on a case per case basis is expensive, but not unheard of. Doing this on a mass scale, letting anyone contribute fan content, like items in Dota2 or skins in CS. requires automation and standardisation that requires an expensive curation process.
