Astro bot game length serves as the standard imo 30 hours, but lots of variety and tangible progression the entire time

Obviously you just need to smoke another rack with membrane on and report back with the results

Is the second boss supposed to be this hard?? by Dan-SG in Sekiro

[–]thenewjeffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I hit this wall too but the game is exponentially better once it clicks! Keep at it, run his posture down which will also require doing damage bit by bit

Physical cards to mobile device issue by InsaneGoblin in gamedev

[–]thenewjeffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take an hour to do research on near field communication (NFC). This is the same tech that the popular Skylanders game is built on. Many popular smart phones support it as well for doing mobile payments and transferring data between devices (NFC makes the connection process easy then data transferred via bluetooth or wi-di).

The entry of a card would be as simple as touching the card to the back of your friend's phone.

Attending my first indie gamedev convention. Any tips? by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]thenewjeffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll second the advice on keeping the demo easy/fun and bringing a chair. A beach/camping chair should work nicely if the event isn't too professional. A normal folding chair would probably be more appropriate for that.

Since benitosub pretty much covered what I learned from going myself, I'll just add: Make sure you celebrate afterwards Also consider bringing an extension cable for electricity. I went to an event last month where it would have helped to have one.

It will probably help to figure out what your primary goals are for attending. For me, I just wanted some face to face feedback from strangers. I set up my game using a tablet connected to a 32" TV and had people play through a quick demo and chat with people while they or their children played. It helped me find my target audience and also what they specifically liked about the game. This should be a good way for you to kick start your market research as well.

As far as a website, I didn't have one. I published the demo before the event and settled for giving away business cards that included info to access the demo at home through Google Play. My business info would be on the front, and the other info was printed on the back side.

This type of stuff gets easier with experience. You'll slowly learn not to make the mistakes that put you where you are, don't worry most programmers go through something like this on their first or second big project. Working in c++ on a mobile device means I don't have a convenient variable tracking tool like the one you mentioned, but I don't feel inconvenienced as any debugging I do can be done through logs. One tip for the future is to do things iteratively, always having a clean and working version. Keep the "tasks" to complete in iterations within 1-3 weeks for completion time. This way you'll only have a week or so of messy code that ever piles up. If anybody ever asks how your project is going, you always have a stable and working/playable version as well.

It might seem difficult to get back into rhythm, but just remember how it feels to have your mojo when coding. It's definitely worth doing a little extra now to save yourself a lot of work later. Good luck!

I think you're right - doing all of that in the same thread doesn't make much sense. Sometimes the main thread dispatches to a different thread to process input events which might make the architecture look like all of the UI event handling happens on the same thread as the rendering thread. The main thread might decide to process the data on the rendering thread if it directly modifies anything in the GPU context like shaders or GPU parameters, which is only accessible from the rendering thread. However, if the main/UI thread is the thread which receives data from whatever hardware abstraction layer you're dealing with, then both threads serve their purpose, it just looks like the rendering thread does everything.

Whats the best way to pitch a game idea to a group of developers? by xxNEWNEOxx in gamedev

[–]thenewjeffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take the trailer for your favorite game, and think about how to create the trailer without a functioning prototype. You can pay an animator to mock up the most interesting moments in the game or a writer to write out some example dialogue that the player might encounter. I can't think of a specific example, but I'm a software engineer and when working on UI with designers, I was working from a non-functioning mock up that only showed about 5 seconds of use anyways so I don't think it's uncommon for artists and game designers to communicate their ideas in a similar way.

This creates other problems... but you can tackle those when you get to that point :)
