This post spoils what happens in my Quake map. If you care about that, then you should play it first. NOTE: there are reports that my map crashes FTE Quake, so make sure you use Quakespasm or vkQuake to play. Sorry about that. "Tell Me It's Raining" is my fifth released Quake single player map, part of the Alkaline Jam where we all made sci-themed "base" maps with a mod kit called Alkaline.
There are many aspects to consider when building a game. This requires a lot of knowledge, skills and time to build and integrate all the components. Fortunately the Unity 3D platform has a great selection of packages and assets to accelerate the build of tools, models, shaders, sound effects, animations etc. For the development of Math it Right 3D Adventure I’ve used the following Unity packages.
While we're busy working on both the upcoming Godot 4.0 and 3.4 releases (with a dev snapshot for 3.4 beta 5 available now), we still cherry-pick important bug fixes to the 3.3 branch regularly for maintenance releases (see our release policy ). Godot 3.3.3 was released a month ago, and a handful of important fixes have been queued in the 3.3 branch since then.
Well hello there, gorgeous creature! We're so happy you're joining us for another epically magical installment of the Kristala Dev Blog! If you're new 'round these parts, let us help you get properly acquainted. This is the place where we break down all aspects of development for 3D Dark Fantasy ARPG Kristala—an indie game in developed by the wildly talented dev team behind women-owned indie games studio, Astral Clocktower Studios.
Introduction. Oftentimes, we ask ourselves the question, how do we want to store data in Unity? There is a high probability that you wanted to create a database and make it editable with ease for either a developer or a designer. There are a lot of ways of dealing with this problem, but the way we want to tackle this today is the most friendly from a Unity design perspective.
Hey all I’m back with the sequel to the movie I covered last time. It’s Legally Blonde 2! Plot: The plot is incredibly bad, with Elle travelling to D.C. to lobby for Dog’s Rights, because her chihuahua’s mother, Bruiser, is being experimented on. Honestly this is easily one of the worst sequels I’ve ever seen. Casting: Reese Witherspoon is once again Elle, and we see some familiar faces from the previous movie.
Twice in my career, I have been at the forefront of massive change. In 2000 , I was an Internet analyst at Deutsche Bank advising middle-aged men (and they were all men) on how this new nerdy Internet thing was going to change the world. It was three months before the dotcom crash. Valuations were stratospheric. It was possible to believe, as I did, that the Internet was a fundamental change to how the world worked AND that the majority of stocks were overvalued.
Art by @nadi_bulochka New times bring us new challenges. Almost 2 years ago a pandemic hit humanity and our beloved industry was suffering huge financial losses, but the film industry was able to overcome those difficulties and the era of streaming madness has arrived. At the same time, the speed and quantity of content consumption picked up tremendously as we found ourselves locked at home and for many it was an opportunity to experience the wonderful world of cinema.

In this video, I will talk about five misconceptions that you may have and that may be holding you back from developing your own game engine. Thanks for watching.
In the past month, the team has been hard at work introducing the new native extensions system for Godot 4.0. GDExtension is a new implementation of the GDNative layer that allows the creation of compiled plugins for the engine. At its core, GDExtension is a C API that enables registration of classes implemented within a dynamic library. This allows dynamic libraries to be used by Godot in a way that is much better integrated than its predecessor, GDNative.

Hey all I’m back with yet another Light Novel series for this week’s Translation Necessary Thursday. It’s Master of Ragnarok Volume 01 by Takayama Seiichi! Plot: The plot is an Isekai series where a student from Modern Japan gets transported into a world set in the bronze ages. He takes tactics learned from great minds of Earth and uses them to help the people who accidentally brought him into the world to live and prosper.
There were days when the game developers had to build a flawless game and launch it in the Play/App Store, and the rest was taken care of by the users. And a good ranking in the App/Play store was considered the success of the app. But in today’s competitive world, the players are unaware of about 80% of the games, while 20% of the games are unprofitable and are removed from the online medium.
Let's be honest, regardless of how you feel about the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it's already an iconic pop-culture phenomenon that has brought millions of people to their screens. We believe that much of the success of this film universe has been thanks to the "Guardians of the Galaxy" dylogy and director James Gunn in particular. Plus, we've only recently seen the director's most recent film: " Suicide Squad" - and we wondered how Gunn's life and career unfolded before "Guardians of the Galaxy
On the 8th September I was very grateful to have the opportunity to speak at my local security/hacker conference DC151 in Leeds. In the talk I lamented my lack of drive in pursuing purely technical content any more (there’s plenty of that in my old blog ) instead reflecting my current career arc and giving a talk on “boring management stuff”, as I prefaced.
Howdy Godotters! Time for another update on Godot 4.0's multiplayer networking. We have been really busy working on the foundation of the networking and multiplayer classes lately, and there are quite a few new features to talk about. In this post, we'll start by showing some of the new RPC syntax and features. See other articles in this Godot 4.0 networking series: Multiplayer in Godot 4.0: On servers, RSETs and state updates.
While it’s fun and entertaining to follow Epic’s crusade on Apple, I think it’s equally important to discuss how these court battles impact tens of thousands of game developers around the World. To discuss the first court rulings from the perspective of a mobile game publisher I sat down with non-other than the powerful Eric Seufert from Mobile Dev Memo and the extremely knowledgeable Chris Hewish , President of Xsolla.
Hey all I’m back with a look ahead for this week’s Anime Sunday. It’s my Most Anticipated Fall 2021 Anime! Banished Slow Life: This is an adaptation of a series I read the first Web Novel volume of years back. It was pretty fun from what I could remember and so I’m looking forward to watching this very laid back series. Shinka no Mi: This is yet another Light Novel series that was pretty fun to read as a Web Novel years ago, but I haven’t read recently because IR

In our previous chapter we have talked about the JVM memory configuration: when to use the defaults and when it might be necessary to fine tune the settings. We also touched on potential side effects of manual tuning and how it can sometimes backfire, for example, forcing the Garbage Collector (GC) to work harder. In the second part of this series we are taking a look at the different Garbage Collectors available, which is the best for a specific use case, and when it’s useful to switch to
Mobile gaming has come a long way and now it is one of the most profitable and popular gaming platforms. This has resulted in various transformation in the game’s monetization, therefore the mobile game developers have a range of options in monetization than ever before. . Those developers who traditionally rely on the in-app purchases have moved on to the advertisements and the app bidders are seeing an increase in the revenue by reducing their dependency on waterfall optimization.

This director's style is instantly recognisable. He's commonly referred to as the British Tarantino and his crime stories are funnier than any comedy. His films are already iconic and have become memes and quotes. Probably, after the "British" Tarantino, you have already understood that today we are going to talk about Guy Ritchie. Let's break down what's remarkable about his style and why he's just a rockerroller.

The mobile game industry is the most demanding industry for the past few years. Though there are millions and millions of mobile game apps available on the Play/App Store, the game companies and developers are interested in building more and more games. This is because of the profit the industry has bagged along with it. . Building the game and launching it in the market alone wouldn’t bring success to your game app.
The upcoming Godot 3.4 release will provide a number of new features which have been backported from the 4.0 development branch (see our release policy for details on the various Godot versions). This beta 5 build provides additional features and fixes to bugs reported against previous builds. If you already reviewed the changelog for the previous beta, you can skip right to the differences between beta 4 and beta 5 ( part 1 , part 2 ).
Hey all I’m back with another Video Game Tuesday for something a little different than before. It’s Highlighting a Favorite Developer! So this is a series I might do from time to time, highlighting a particular member of the Game Development community who I feel really deserves some attention. This time I’m doing it one of my all time favorite Sound Directors, Masayoshi Soken!
Kevin Smith is one of those directors who makes movies for himself. He puts all his personality and creativity into making movies that he himself would be happy to watch. That's probably why his films seem so vital and natural. But Smith is also special because his films have a kind of magical absurd humor. That's what we think draws a lot of people to his work.
The view from the bed in our hotel room. The magic glowy pyramid is in front. Behind that is the tacky fantasy castle. Behind that, as you would expect, is the New York City skyline. All is as it should be. To celebrate not being killed by the Plague yet, my family visited Las Vegas in June. You are now allowed to go there. Las Vegas has one awesome selling point in this age of quarantine: It is not inside your house.
The mobile game industry is challenging at the same time it is the most rewarding industry that has abundant opportunities for the developers. Many of the game development companies have made incredible games, however, there are few games that haven’t made it in the market. . When the opinion about the future of the game is high, few helpful tips can surely increase the success rate of the game in the App Store. .

Cross-promotion has always been an essential part of any publisher’s marketing strategy to help grow newly launched games while maintaining users in their portfolio. But it’s really during the last year or so when cross-promotion has been elevated from an auxiliary component of your marketing mix to a vital element of a publisher’s growth strategy. The sudden rise of the weight companies put on cross-promotion is of course due to the IDFA deprecation that has to some extent further accelerated c
Hey all I’m back with another very classic game for this week’s Retro Game Friday. It’s RayForce! Plot: This game had a plot, something that surprises me, though considering it’s a post-apocalyptic story I probably wouldn’t have remembered it even if I had learned it way back when. Since I played it in the Arcade when I was a kid I don’t remember seeing any plot screen.
