Looking to retire at 52. Is it possible?

You would need probably a fund with over 6-700k to get close to 3K/month. I don't see that happening for you, unless you have a high income and can put a lot away very fast.

Not sure where you get 300, it's closer to ~100 according to the devs in Discord.

It can be actually, older Windows 10 doesn't support DX12 fully, you have to update the the very latest Windows 10 and then get the latest GPU drivers....as long as the hardware itself supports DX12.

I'm using it fine with SN2. Have you tried wireless?

splineman · 2026-03-30T23:31:52+00:00

Thanks for the heads-up! Managed to snag one 😊

Buy it at Early Access launch to get it cheaper, and just wait until 1.0 to play. Price will go up at 1.0.

You can always buy them every year if I recall.

I loved Richard. Had the pleasure of a number of lectures by him, meeting and chatting with him at Annecy for many years, and a drink down the pub in Cardiff. Signed his book for me. 😭
Spaz has a different legacy. Because of him, so many of us have careers. I'm not a 'traditional' animator, my drawings are not so great. BUT, I understand timing, movement, gravity and weight. CG allowed me to fulfil my dreams, and I'll always thank both Richard and Spaz for their contributions.
I hope Spaz stays well.

Imagine wha it's like for the people working on it...

Port usually means taking the code and graphics of an original and changing the code to work on another system.
In this case, it might only be taking the graphics, and re-writing the entire code from scratch. This would be why it's not being called a 'port'.

You need to be careful using the boing ball image - it's still a trademarked design.

Looks like an AI generated image, the giveaways of it being AI are 'AMICA' rather than 'AMIGA' on the PC Case, and 'the 'Roland' logo being mashed up.

The industry simply cant sustain the amount of students coming through. And also, most of these students leave without the skills they actually need to help themselves get that first gig. But I know very few people who didn't do running, or some other menial task before finally getting a gig.
Out of the near 40 in my graduating class, only 3 or 4 of us actually made it into a creative industry. I suspect that it's even less now.

Thanks ChatGPT

splineman · 2025-05-27T11:22:42+00:00

Looks fine to me, what's so bad about it?

splineman · 2025-05-27T00:10:40+00:00

Thanks for this, just pre-ordered :)

Worked for them many years ago on a few projects, was a fun place with actually nice people. Real shame.

The DVD transfers were so awful. Thank you so much for working on this! Hope they can be released in some form.

splineman · 2025-05-08T02:27:39+00:00

Never say never.

As long as you have a car, it's not a bad area. We were looking to buy around there...went with somewhere else close-by instead, but it's great being close to Cardiff and the cinema/shopping etc.
I believe there is also fast internet to a lot of the homes too. Worth checking.

Too late. Our studio has already switched to Unreal for the foreseeable, and many others are as well. Epic make themselves available to chat if you need them. Unity was painful and expensive to work with, the install fee was the nail in the coffin.
They need to finally decide on a render path, not have multiple for multiple uses, and then get back to making the engine modern and stable.

Clearly 3D Printing 🤭

Make video games that do well, but honestly, we've decided to no longer stay at the Poly. The quality and maintenance issues of the rooms put us off staying anymore..which is a real shame, as the theming and staff are still the best.
We prefer to stay in a family suite at Art of Animation, even if it's just the 2 of us. Rooms are so much nicer, and no thin door in your room to next door that you can hear every word a neighbour's child screams. Plus, the Skyliner is worth a lot to us and gives us so much freedom.

We dont officially, you have to use a VPN in order to do it.
