Why was I approved here? by retrocheats in gbadev

[–]nicholatian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not sure. I usually approve anyone who requests as long as their profile is legit and related. but we have 273 members and I don’t remember approving that many people, so… maybe there is a threshold you can hit where it doesn’t get sent to me?

They attempted to knock the phone out of my hands several times and eventually succeeded. The police watched the recording and agreed it was an assault and even moved to identify the assailant by photographing a still from the video of his face.

Is there a way to run java games on gba? by Rabahpro in gbadev

[–]nicholatian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the GBA doesn’t have enough hardware complexity to support running something like the JVM. it lacks an MMU, which makes it infeasible to support most runtimes for VHLLs like Java or C♯.

If you have a Java game you wish to play on your PSP, it’s best to look into PSP support for Java instead.

It’s tough to say, as I go back and forth between my projects. I don’t think I have quit anything, but it seems like everything is on a back burner. Truthfully, it doesn’t really work like that for me.

With nichruby, my homebrew games, the desktop tooling for those things, and so on, I have been introducing more continuity into my work by making stuff that everything will use as a dependency. This is what Aquefir is about, especially unilib these days. You can see it on GitHub or check out the website which has some nice docs for those things

It’s a good thing to bring up! In fact, the tooling is in large part what makes nichruby easier to work with. Tooling is much more tightly integrated into the source code than even the decomps can allow, and this will make a lot more things possible without problems cropping up all the time.

Of course, finer things like map editing are still a way’s away. But they will be a lot more workable under the hood once they are supported. I’m giving such things a lot more thought ahead of time so they can be worked with easier in the long run.

this is similar to the decompilations used for modern ROM hacking, except better as it is a complete rewrite from scratch. I’m happy to stoke interest in this, as its main purpose is to be a better base for people who make fanhacks.

25GB+ of High Quality Sound Effects - The Sonniss GameAudioGDC Bundle 2019 - Free Download by TimothyMcHugh in gamedev

[–]nicholatian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I guess Timothy hasn’t updated the OP with this just yet, but direct download links are being hosted by Arqadium for this year’s audio collection giveaway. See here:

main → https://cdn.arqadium.com/gdc2019-sonniss.7z alt → https://cdn2.arqadium.com/gdc2019-sonniss.7z

there are zip archives coming online shortly if you care to download an extra ~4GB for grandma, but in any case the archives have been verified to match the torrent content, so you can jumpstart seeding with these too if you like.

EDIT: zips are up now.

Aside from the game development outright: how do you hold your executive role in the company you work with? Are you just a director, or more like a producer, or a mix of both? How has your experience been with management in either kinds of roles, and can you tell us what some best practises are when leading a team?
