Friends, we have a really big problem. We just released our game, and unlike the Android version, we’re getting feedback that the game overheats excessively on iOS. The core logic is the same, but the problem only occurs on iOS. Here’s the current screen built with Xcode. As you can see, the battery impact is marked as very high. The shocking thing is… even if we build a new empty project, the battery impact still shows as very high on iOS… We are currently using Cocos Creator version 3.

Turns out, now is exactly one year of me working on the video sequence editor (VSE). Going pretty well so far! What I managed to put into Blender 4.1 and 4.2 is in the previous blog posts. Blender 4.3 has just shipped, and everything related to Video Sequence Editor is listed on this page. Items related to performance or thumbnails are my doing. Some of the work I happened to do for VSE over this past year ended up improving other areas of Blender.

Good evening, I just finished writing my own custom shader to create 2D shadows on sprites, but I can’t find a way to increase the render area of ​​the sprite. The sprite size is 450x450, I created an atlas and used the trim option, this reduced the frame to 156x393. The problem is that the shader does not render outside these limits, even though the original area was 450x450.

I haven't ever seen it used. Game dev still primarily runs on C++ to do the heavy lifting. We often build internal tools with C#, Python, or Perl. Some games will run interpreted scripting languages like Lua for designers to script out encounters and such. RPG Maker utilizes Ruby or Javascript for its scripting language, depending on the version. To my knowledge, nobody uses Rust, Swift, or Go in game development.

In this conversation we talk about a bunch of AAA games, such as Detroit Become Human the Last of Us and others, along with some of the ways in which these games get credit for being progressive while simultaneously protecting the neoliberal status quo.

Hello, I am loading a CDN based presigned URL through assetManager.loadRemote. I am using cocos 3.8.3. The url contains a png. However the URL doesnt end with “.png”, hence I am passing the extension as mentioned in the doc. My code is as follows - if ( url.includes("png")) { ext = ".png"; } assetManager.loadRemote<ImageAsset>(url, {ext: `${ext}`}, function (err, imageAsset) { if (err) { reject(err); } else if (imageAsset instanceof ImageAsset) { // Convert ImageAsset to Texture2D const

You can double-dip with your characters by killing them and bringing them back. Just be warned. This is cheap, and you can only get away with it once. After that, cheating death becomes just another lie. "Murder your darlings." - Arthur Quiller-Couch (Though many have said similar sentiments.) My family has been watching the second (and final) season of Arcane on Netflix.
