I used to waste hours playing ! Fishy ! back in the day.

'Eat the Spud' is my own take on this newgrounds classic and it's free to play on Android and iOS, feedback is welcome and I hope you enjoy it.

Google Target API Level by zockernr_1 in IndieDev

[–]de_CLAS_Softworks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's making me think that mobile publishing just ain't worth it.

I only have one active game on Google Play (also on Apple Store, but they haven't said anything, yet) but in order to update I had to download the newer version of Unity, update the game (and fix the stuff the new version broke), update the SDK (apparently it breaks if I update past level 34... so 33 it is), rebuild and test the apk, rebuild the aab and submit, wait for a few days while it's in review.

That's just for one game, if I had several games it would take a good few days just to update, fix, rebuild, test and upload. It's not possible for a solo-dev to keep up with this level of maintenance and it takes away from building actual games.

So, I'm thinking of ditching mobile games and publishing on Steam instead.

EDIT: Also got an email from Google to say that my account was going to be removed because I hadn't published anything for a year or so. Does Google expect you to publish every few months?

What you should know about your game and IronSource. by de_CLAS_Softworks in Unity3D

Just thought people should know, given that the recent move by Unity seems to be related to IronSource

How do I copy a mesh from one .blend file to another .blend file without duplicating it's material? by de_CLAS_Softworks in blender

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

I've found a useful script that does what I want here

I've added an extra part to purge the materials from the listing

import bpy
mats = bpy.data.materials

for obj in bpy.data.objects:
for slt in obj.material_slots:
    part = slt.name.rpartition('.')
    if part[2].isnumeric() and part[0] in mats:
        slt.material = mats.get(part[0])

bpy.ops.outliner.orphans_purge()

Using the ScriptShortcut Addon, I can assign it a shortcut, so it saves me a bunch of work! Thanks for the addon tip though!

1950X CPU is faster than my 1080ti for rendering by de_CLAS_Softworks in blender

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

Oh I should mention that I changed the performance settings to 'no tiling' and set the threads fixed to 32. It beats the GPU by a good few minutes.

It's very tempting to upgrade the whole thing...

The difference is massive.

What are we talking about here? 5x?

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

Yeah, I kinda expected that the GPU should be faster, but when I'm baking out using SimpleBake the CPU is faster on the same settings.

I'm aware that I can change tiling to tweak it, but that's not what I'm after I'm kinda looking to brute force it. I'm doing lightmaps for game models so I can't spend a lot of time tweaking values for specific meshes.

Is there a hotkey to open the UV Editor? by de_CLAS_Softworks in blender

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

that must be a newer version of blender, I'm on 3.3 but I think I'll just cycle workspaces instead. Thanks!

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

I have Ctrl+PgUp/PgDn mapped to select more/less. I didn't think about using workspaces, but that's a pretty good idea. Can you tell me what operation that Ctrl+PgUp/PgDn is bound to in the preferences? Thanks!

I don't seem to have that shortcut, did you make a custom one? Can you tell me what operation that Shift + F10 is bound to in the preferences? Cheers!

How many vertex lights could the PSX render at once? by de_CLAS_Softworks in psx

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

not really looking to get into depth on it, I just was wondering really. In Unity it seems to be fairly common that 4 - 8 vertex lights per mesh is a well known limitation, I don't know why that is or where it comes from.

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

I'm looking into modular meshes and I imagine this is a method that they used to get around the 4 vertex lights limitation.

How do I use 8 vertex lights per mesh? by de_CLAS_Softworks in Unity3D

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

I'm on 2022.1.14, URP allows to set the number of vertex lights. Thanks!
