The story of TimeSplitters Next and Free Radical Design 2.0
GamesIndustry.biz
MARCH 26, 2024
I was eagerly awaiting the return of TimeSplitters. For those that don't know the franchise, it was a first-person shooter series that debuted at the launch of PS2. It was the first game by Free Radical Design, a team formed by the creators of GoldenEye and Perfect Dark, including Steve Ellis, David Doak, Karl Hilton, and Graeme Norgate. The first TimeSplitters was a hit, but it was the second one that proved the real critical darling and breakthrough success.

What goes into the vertical slice of an MMORPG? I feel that it would be hard to prototype when a lot of the game’s premise relies on quest progression, player-to-player interactivity, etc. It seems like something that cannot be communicated effectively until much later in development.

MMORPGs tend to come with a lot of expected table stakes features, which means our vertical slice needs to have those features. For a MMORPG, that generally entails: At least two distinct players on separate accounts able to log in and play in the same game world A persistent game world - all pl

Sometimes, the scene is missing from build build (I tried to load all the scenes in bundle and it returns an empty array). Tried to delete everything (library, settings, temp …) and report seems to make it some what better (the scenes are now appear from the array).

Hello my friends, I have a small Feature Request - Proper Z Order for 2D in Cocos 3.X First I need to clarify that I’m not talking about 3D, but about orthographic 2D view where the node hierarchy dictates the Z Order.
