I’m a big fan of Tim Cane’s YouTube channel. If I was going to have a YouTube channel, I would want it to be like his but talking about adventure games, not RPGs. Maybe someday. So imagine my delight when he posted this: Clayton and I wrote this poem many years ago, but not much as changed. I’ve never met Tim Cane but hope to someday.

Yes. The maximum interest in any game is going to be at its first major launch. All marketing and buildup will get the largest group of players to try the game at that first launch. When we use the Early Access release model, we effectively blunt that because our Early Access version isn't the finished game and commensurately less sticky to the player base.

In the browser, I executed the following code to delete a node. this.node.destroy(); Then the message The asset has been destroyed! appears in the console. Every time I delete a node, I get 3 or 4 of these messages. I created a project that only does this.node.destroy(); in each of Cocos 3.8.2 and 3.8.3, but it still happens. Also, the description in the documentation that the node does not delete itself, but rather deletes itself from other nodes, did not work.

You know how in Blender Video Sequence Editor (VSE) you can create Color strips, and then their color is displayed in the timeline? You can create many of them, and when sufficiently zoomed out, the strip headings disappear since there’s not enough space for the label: So if you created say 80 columns and 60 rows of color strips… …and kept on changing their colors constantly… you could run Doom inside the Blender VSE timeline.

Returning to Blogging When I last wrote a blog post, months ago now , I had grand ambitions of writing them more often. This blog exists, in part, to better document my programming journey. I also want to help others with small, niche problems from studying, documenting, and preserving older or smaller authoring tools. I will still sometimes write guides or tutorials on handling common issues.

Hello all Ive been using Spine and Cocos for years. As documented, I use Spine version 3.8. My problem is that this old version of Spine is no longer supported by Esoteric Software and since the last MacOs update, Spine crashes on start-up. The result is that I can no longer use Spine at all in my Cocos projects. To be able to use Spine again with Cocos, it would have to be able to support more recent versions.
