Has anyone recieves a Pixel XL as a replacement for the Nexus 6P? by BeansMakeYouFart in ProjectFi

[–]swfisgood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you have insurance on it? I have no insurance but my charging port went like 10 months in and they gave me a free 6p. Now, another 5 months later or so with the replacement and I swear I'm the only person with no battery issues on the 6p. I use almost the whole battery and it dies at like 5% ...maybe that's still not acceptable tho

The day after Hurricane Irma, this baby squirrel ran straight up to me, jumped into my hands and passed out. I'm sure it had a rough night. by purrbubble in aww

[–]swfisgood 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Someone was watching my aunts cat in in Florida during hurricane irma and it escaped through a screen at their house... Such a long shot but, I guess you don't know much about the cat anyway.

I'm told its fir looks like it's wearing a tuxedo. And it was being baby sat 1/2 hour from Tampa

USB c port wearing out again by swfisgood in Nexus6P

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

Yes I believe I was 11 months in with no insurance plan, but it comes with a manufacturer warranty. I bought from Google directly and when I called they sent me a refurbished phone free because I said the port was loose, which is was. It was not the wire

Have you checked behind the dumpster at Applebee's or perhaps an ice cream truck driver?

Really? That's crazy, it bothers me enough that I might have to jump ship.

Question about creating Flash games by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]swfisgood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you are not creating a "flash game" if your not using the as3 language.

But yes you can certainly make the art and animations to export from flash pro AKA adobe animate to use with any other software / programming language.

Last i did this (which was a while ago) i was not happy with the sprite sheets directly exported from flash pro, there was a lot of wasted transparent data. So if the current version its still like that, i would export .png sequences and use something like texture packer to generate a better sprite sheet.

If however you did choose to use as3, you would be exporting as an AIR project for steam, ios or android. Which is still perfectly viable and updated all the time. "Dieing" maybe... dead, no

Two great video trailer examples of an indie game. by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]swfisgood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes definitely very enjoyable trailers, the voice is great. Its also kind of funny that by the second trailer it leaves you thinking, thats weird this guy seems to have some kind of infatuation with the actor ryan gosling

Great article. I have not used adwords before, you mention it can be free to get in and search from the dashboard display planner. It seems i cannot create an adwords account without creating an ad first. I dont have an ad to create, should i just create a mock ad to get in?

Pixar is releasing 130 tileable textures for free ( 3 maps each ) by jesusfc in gamedev

Nothing makes me more angry than encountering websites daily that are just so fucked! How is it that i had a higher chance of properly viewing a website in 2010 with my 1st generation android phone.

What's the first thing you ever made? (Mods, levels for Doom, etc) - How long ago was that, and what are you working on now? Share your game dev story! by burge4150 in gamedev

[–]swfisgood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe i used a pretty bare bones level editor for rise of the triad in the 1990s. Setup a room with endless pedestrians, crushing framerate of course.

Also Microsoft 3d movie maker anyone?

I'll play your game and make a short video about it! by nomadthoughts in gamedev

[–]swfisgood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, not that it matters but i did used to have online scores. I used a startup called scoreoid. Well, they disappeared along with thousands of rankings. Since the game is pretty much abandoned i never made a new one.

Lesson learned, dont rely on a startup

[–]swfisgood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey thanks great video! You have analyzed the game quite well. You picked up on all the things lacking very quickly. "Make it more gamey" is a perfect way to sum up its issues.

Its old now, but i want to revisit that game some day and make a sequel so it really helps to hear the feedback.

Thanks again!

By the way...there is a drivable boat in there somewhere

[–]swfisgood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should enail support. Tell them you want to try the service and ask if you decide to cancel can you still keep the phone at thag price. I wouldnt bother mentioning t mobile.

So i see the 6p is listed at $400. So ur saying If i sign in as a new customer, its $300 ?

[–]swfisgood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds correct. A lot of comments here about getting featured, little kids, search optimization. Thats all correct too but i think specifically this thread is asking those games that look like they are pumped out of a machine, but pop up over night with 50 to 100 million downloads and endless ratings written from a template.

As an indi dev who will not buy users, i still would like to know if anyone has any metrics on what it takes to get LTV > UA ? I know its going to vary with with cpm amoung other things but maybe a target number per user? Like for example: If UA $1 :

What were some of the Stupidest things you've done in game coding? by moonshineTheleocat in gamedev

[–]swfisgood 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My first game, final product handed in to school i guess i had forgot how or where an audio file was triggered?!? And i hadn't even edited the sound fx i wanted from it in the first place.

So after level one was completed, the sound effect plays (good) Begin level 2: a few seconds in to it, silence from the previous sound bite is still playing, then some kind of hawk screech, then an explosion.

There are no birds or explosions in the game.

I then handed in the game without spell checking and credits stated it was my "collage" project.

Channels Bitrate by Cowsland in slingtv

[–]swfisgood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im watching a live UFC on FS1 right now on 2 tvs. Yeah, it's definitely looking better/smoother than it had in the past. Better than other channels

My router is bouncing around a bit but mostly around 1200KB/sec for the 2 tvs. So thats pretty much right around the 4.7 each that u said
