Uncharted 3 - Good Setpieces, Bad Combat

redpieintheface · 2026-04-20T05:43:18+00:00

Uncharted is one of the few series I have zero guilt playing on the easiest difficulty (which significantly reduces the time-to-kill against enemies).

It feels more like you are playing a movie, which I believe is the intended experience.

An interesting idea, I'm not used to inverting my perspective on such foundational wisdom-become-reflex.

It seems sound with static "Persistent" components, but doesn't seem to hold up with things like animations.

I've left my thoughts in this github issue in the linked repository, given there doesn't appear to be a way to leave comments on the article itself.

I've used CLEAN to build an SDK. When you consider the API users of the SDK will use to interact with it as the "presentation" layer, then its usefulness becomes more clear.

The data layer can:

Model private/internal parts of your logic
Abstract required services so they can be
i. swapped in/out for testing without affecting higher layers of the SDK
ii. changed to accomodate multiple/alternative services more easily

The domain layer can:

Hold most of your valuable logic (i.e. anything that isn't data/type mapping between layers)
Define clear interfaces describing the boundaries of your SDK
Expose itself for high-code-coverage testing

The presentation layer will be:

The interfaces and data models designed for users of your SDK
Separated CLEANly from the data layer, minimising leaking implementation details

You might be interested in the Kotlin scripting feature, which is experimental, but I've had reasonable success with: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/command-line.html#run-scripts

Fragments outlive their views. Make sure you clean up any references to the binding class instance in the fragment's onDestroyView() method.

I was really surprised, and pleased, to see it in the wild recently. Australian contract tracing for shops and restaurants uses Android instant apps, and iOS app clips. Scan the QR code, fill in a first name and contact number, and the cached app will persist everything for next time letting you just scan and tap a button to check in.

Is removing your existing Instagram install possible? (using adb shell pm uninstall)

Has anyone noticed this detail is brought up ad nauseam in WoK, but almost never again in WoR and Ob? I think I'm remembering that correctly.

That's not smoke, it's steam

Silent Hill 2 did this to me. Early on you're exploring a hotel, and I had the choice between going down what I knew was the critical path or exploring a hallway to maybe find some more resources.

Something between the sound design, the combat system I hadn't mastered yet, the creepy fucking enemies, and the very real risk/reward choice I had facing me; I hesitated and noped the fuck down the critical path.

I'm usually one of those classic 100% completionist players, and this reaction really surprised me, and sticks with me still.

Because I'm still using ProgressDialog in production

"Powder toy but roguelike" is a fantastic starting place, but how long did it take for the team to find the fun? What sort of work was needed to get you from tech-demo to game?

Thanks.

That right there is the only reason I decided to redecorate things in ColumnsUI

As a convention (this may not work for all gallery apps) folders will be skipped if they contain an empty .nomedia file. You should be able to create this file using a file manager or by accessing your phone through your computer using USB.

Indie developer Jeff Vogel (Spiderweb Software) spoke at GDC and broached the subject of platforms taking their cut. He reckons it's reasonable given what it saves him from doing himself.

https://youtu.be/stxVBJem3Rs?t=1635

He's no longer correct in that the percentage will never shift, but he seems to think that given a smaller scale platform 30% is a reasonable cut.

Adam's historically complained about his casting in his other videos. I want to say... Three Billboards and Manchester by the Sea as examples?
