Why can’t fire and the forest, plus all its inhabitants, just get along? Well, for one thing, fire burns everything in its path to a crisp. That seriously hampers any hope for a long-lasting partnership. But not in the world Tomasz Ostafin, founder of indie studio Petums , is creating. In Pirofauna , players take on the role of a cute little flame that uses its searing powers to bring light into the dark and misty forest and save the animals from all sorts of nasty creatures.

Sony's decision to devote around a third of the entire runtime of its State of Play event last week to upcoming hero shooter Concord was a fairly clear statement of intent – the company's desire to pivot towards live service games burns unabated, and while the high-quality singleplayer games upon which PlayStation's studios' reputation was built aren't going anywhere for now, they will at least have to share the spotlight with their upstart live service brethren from now on.

The 5 month crunch rush is over, aaaannnd. the game's still not done. We were thrown too many curveballs during the home stretch and failed to meet our goal of a May 23rd launch, and it's time to get things back in order before wrapping up development. In short, we're 1 more meetup away from having a Beta build ready. But that meetup won't be until June 15th because the entire team has personal life stuff to deal with.

Player feedback at the pre-launch phase is crucial to a PC game’s development and its ultimate success. As a result, developers and quality assurance (QA) teams have come up with different strategies to collect player feedback. One popular approach adopted for this purpose is early access testing. This method is used as a game testing and funding model, whereby consumers can buy and play a game in various pre-release development cycles, like beta, pre-alpha, or alpha.

Most of the time, it is because they have game ideas they want to make. Game developers tend to be driven by the need to create. I got into game development because I wanted to make my own game ideas into reality. Almost every developer I know had some variation of the same motivation - they wanted to make their own game ideas into reality as well. Everyone, from the freshest junior hire to the most experienced veteran, has their own game ideas that they want to make.

First, you need to understand the resolution policy. Because we can’t expect all devices to have the same resolution as the design. So we need to choose an action when the mismatch happens. Try to check the fitWidth , fitHeight , or both of them to see the different behaviors in each selection.
