In 2023, the game I'm most proud of in my long and distinguished career as a game designer will be twenty years old. Although I've worked on several million-selling games, it is the more modest-selling Ghost Master that has garnered the greatest number of fans from any of my game designs - even Discworld Noir doesn't come close. Why is this game so beloved?

One of the problems with developing games with large game worlds is that objects start to jitter and teleport around as you move away from the world origin. This post is about how we overcame one challenge in particular and what we did. The Problem. By default Godot uses single-precision floating point numbers to store things like object positions. While GDScript typically allows users to do user-space calculations with double precision, those calculations get truncated as soon as they are store

Mathematical sequences and series are some of the most useful tools in mathematics. They can be used to solve problems in almost any field. Playing with numbers can be both fun and challenging. These sequences will help you play and learn at the same time! The concepts behind mathematical sequences and series are often presented as a story. For example, the Fibonacci sequence is often presented as the story of two medieval Italian mathematicians named Fibonacci.

Apparently, I don’t buy game consoles unless I have written games for ’em. I’m a PC gamer at heart, still. So I never picked up a PS3 or PS4. There was really only one game I wanted for those machines… Persona 5. I had trouble justifying that kind of expense for a single game. Well, the expense, and the shelf space, as Mrs. Rampant Coyote regularly complains about these consoles I rarely play taking up space under the TVs.

The social gaming trend is taking mobile games by storm and so the quest to innovate social elements intensifies. Even the single-player casual genres have seen a shift towards more communal gaming in 2021 and it’s expected to tackle the revenue conundrum as well. Which brings us to the Friend Referral system, a feature that has the potential to support user acquisition and retention indirectly by word-of-mouth.

GameAnalytics gave a voice to Redcliff’s silent majority. Eric and Tae discovered early on that most developers can end up only listening to a few very vocal players. But those players often aren’t representative of the entire player base. For one, over half of Roblox’s players are under 12 years old. Not exactly the sort to engage with a developer or fill out an online survey.

Today we want to talk about a bloody philosopher and ruthless humanist — a psychologist who studied not so much the causes of negative emotions as their harmful effects; a visionary who transformed acts of monstrous violence into beautiful paintings, and even in the darkest darkness, can find hope. And one of the most high-profile and, at the same time, unpopular Korean directors of our time.

Hi all! It’s been awhile since the last episode. This year I got married and went on my honeymoon, so things have been kind of crazy. But now, they’re sort of going back to normal. Over the last six months, I guess partially because I was doing a bit of traveling, but also partially because I got a Retroid handheld and a Steam Deck (both of which are phenomenal, game-changers for game-playing, for me at least), I’ve been on this crazy Final Fantasy kick.

Chess players get an official rating that rises and falls depending on their tournament play. In coding, programmers advance through RP4K classes until there’s nowhere higher to go.
