that was done in 2012

still Flash Zone

so that's FLASH man FLASH (with a piece or 2 of after effects) do you have any idea how difficult it is to draw in Flash?

I love areas that look like this.

Distant, distant mountains.

Layers of grass between you and them.

Detroit after they destroy all abandon buildings

so do i

Like Ezio Auditore of Assassin’s Creed ascending the Sistine Chapel, downloads of dodgy software for the all-conquering Fortnite continue to rise. Fortnite’s developer, Epic Games, is suing one person for selling cheats to the hugely popular game. But I wonder whether cheating at video games is really anything to feel bad about. While downloading unverified cheat programs and exposing yourself to malware is not something to encourage, there are wider and greyer areas of game manipulation that deserve consideration.

@Scribblehatch are you making a game?

Yea.

As individuals we choose how we play and what we get out of video games. For some of us, the idea of using a walkthrough is anathema, to others it is a means of bringing us back to a point where we can have fun. I’ll admit that I never completed the Ocarina of Time. It was too hard and I got bored. I’m sorry, Princess Zelda, I abandoned you. But as a feminist I really think you should be fighting your own battles anyway.

As I said, I'm making an RPG.

"What's wave. Is that water?" Earthquakes, floods, strong winds, and sonic blasts are all one element.

There is a lot to be said for completing a game under your own steam, of course. There’s a sense of achievement, maybe some smugness, but there’s certainly no medal and nobody cheers. My husband won’t even give me a pat on the back.

😔

What a tragedy eh ?

Its a very confusing article

The arguement seems to be "cheating is ok as long as you have fun"

@Scribblehatch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKSpE2PGJjI&list=PLc38fcMFcV_s7Lf6xbeRfWYRt7-Vmi_X9 a playlist which you might find helpful for game design

They should have named it window into the head of a casual gamer

Tbh

plot twist: writer of article gets sued by epic games for cheating

I see no such moral dilemma in enhancing my performance by mining gamers’ collective experience, for example. I fully endorse Googling “how the hell do I complete the Wrong Side of the Tracks mission on Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas”. I’m also not above looking up the solutions to all the riddles in Assassin’s Creed Unity, because, seriously, who has time for that?

So this person effectively has no time for their hobby, but wants the reward that comes at the end of it

Is that game maker exclusive?

so, how long before epic bans 90% of china

its called instant gratification blackhawk

As far as I can tell, my coder and I will be using Unity.

While we can all agree that it’s probably immoral to cheat in the 100m Olympic final, what’s less obvious is whether it’s right to use an invincibility code in the multiplayer game Star Wars: Battlefront. Finding yourself in a weak team on Battlefront can be exasperating, but perhaps not enough to justify becoming the guy effortlessly massacring opponents before they get called down for their tea.

No, he's done a slew of general design and investigation stuff

@Scribblehatch its design, not specifically coding.

talking about level design, concept designs.

It's more about design as art than the mechinery of building a game

its entirely independent of game engine and code language.

That author reminds of ppl who minmax in rpgs

a few example titles:
"Anatomy of a Side Quest: Beyond the Beef"
"The Mechanics of Movement"
"Puzzle Solving... or Problem Solving?"
