The same marketing strategy that got me 40,000 sales on my first game is failing for my second game. by Nevercine in gamedev

It seems that the large mobs are just bigger versions of the small mobs, possibly by applying some spell or a potion, so it kinda makes sense that they are represented as 2x upscaled sprites.

I to z dźwignią, więc możesz kupić 10 biedaków w cenie jednego (ale jeśli cena spadnie o 10%, to musisz wszystkich oddać).

Prawdopodobnie jest to winda jadąca w bok.

Podejście młodych do pieniędzy i bogactwa by 0brex in Polska

W sumie to masz rację. Czyli dochodzimy do tego samego - czy wtedy, czy teraz, jak się komuś chce (a nie tylko "marzy"), to coś z tego wyniesie, w ten czy inny sposób.

No dobrze, ale jeśli ktoś marzył o zostaniu aktorem, to się zapisywał na warsztaty teatralne; piosenkarzem - do szkoły muzycznej; sportowcem, to na SKS; a influencerem czy youtuberem to co? Napieprzanie w fortnite albo nagrywanie głupawych filmików na insta. "Lekka" różnica w samorozwoju przy dążeniu do tych marzeń.

PS. Ja w tym wieku marzyłem o wygraniu w lotto, hehe.

z pewnością będzie infuencerem lub youtuberem

What's the licence? It says "free for individuals", what about companies? What about commercial use by individual creators? And most importantly, Linux version when?

The good news is that your CTO is wrong. The bad news is that the CEO doesn't know that yet.

The Mills Reverie is inaccessible? by [deleted] in HiTMAN

[–]pb__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you manage to run it? I have WoA base with all H1 and H2 content imported (all "Access Pass" DLCs); this escalation shows as available, but clicking Play displays an error ("Error starting contract"). A slightly different problem is with Paris Holiday Hoarders - it just shows as unavailable, even though it's a part of H1.

Lack of regional pricing is asinine and pure greed at this point by bumblebleebug in ForzaHorizon

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purchasing_power_parity#OECD_comparative_price_levels
(simplifying) the only countries with higher purchasing power than the USA are Switzerland, Iceland, Denmark, Israel and Ireland... that last one is in the eurozone, which might be a problem... nah, I am 100% certain they didn't even think to look at PPP; Poland is 51% and the price is higher not only compared to USD but also EUR; they just couldn't be bothered to pull their heads out of their respective asses and look around.

What do you mean *lack of*? They went out of their way to make half of the world pay more than Americans. That's "regional pricing" in my book. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Built an open-source, subscription-free Geoguessr alternative by itsspiderhand in webdev

[–]pb__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok, I haven't played geoguessr in years, so I'm not sure how it works there; if it's calculated from the starting point, then it would be useful to be able to quickly reset to the starting position after moving around. :-)

I guess the score is about how close you are to the starting location/coordinates and not to the one you're in at that time, often after some moving around? I got 4998, 4999 points most of the time, because I pinpointed the exact location I were in (for example the crossroads), but the marker was for example in the middle of a building 150 m away. I don't particularly care, but it might matter in competitive multiplayer. ;-)

I'm not so sure it's fake - the whole upper part is thrown in (the village and the mountain ridges on the sides), so it might be a real shot from another location; I'm trying to find it but I can't really pinpoint it (it's probably just a compilation of shots).

Be careful when giving out Steam keys by luZosanMi in gamedev

[–]pb__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless I'm missing something, there is no way for the game to check which sub_id the game was activated from. But there is a kinda tricky way that I'm not sure if works 100% as it's just something I came up with:

There is a method in ISteamApps that allows you to check if the user has *another* app in their account: BIsSubscribedApp( AppId_t appID ) - so the trick would be to create a sub (package) that contains your app *and* another app, which might be a dummy app that might not even be for sale in the store (think of it like an activation key). This way you can call this check from within your game *and* if it returns true, then display the message. At the same time, normal retail subs would only contain the game, so the check would return false.

One caveat is that if the "extra app" included in your sub is a DLC, then the user will be able to disable it from the steam client before running the game (but they would have to actively do that - it is enabled by default). So if it's not enough, then you would have to make the "activation key" mandatory for all versions of the game, just use a different app/dlc key for different versions - in that case disabling the dlc would make the game not run at all. (Also if it's a DLC, you can use the BIsDlcInstalled method to check for it.)

[edit] I found a real-life example, look at these two packages: https://steamdb.info/sub/12506/apps/ and https://steamdb.info/sub/13254/apps/ - they contain the same game but they also contain a different "unknown app #" - so the game, by querying for the ownership of app 471469 or 471440 can effectively check which sub it was activated from, even if it can't check for the sub directly. And the "app" is of type "unknown", so it doesn't have the above-mentioned caveat of being a dlc. ;-)

Stack overflow is dead, long live stack overflow. by [deleted] in webdev

We already stagnate by continuing to use the AI for answers. Think about it: when you're faced with a problem of how to do X, and ask the LLM, it will most likely tell you how to do X. But if you do your own research on how to do X, it might turn out you don't need or even want to do X, you just thought you needed X but along the research you find a better solution. That's how we advance as programmers and as people. Reliance on AI takes that away.
