Re: ShoeBox: 2d gamedev tools
Working at the moment on a automated optical kerning solution that will build a kerning pair table based purely on the shapes of each bitmap letter. The first step is already done which was detecting with rays certain line heights (shown in red). This will be an advantage when it comes to non western languages as there are… -
Re: Wii ports are lame, however...
Wow - the art style for this is fantastic and it looks great in motion aswell: http://kotaku.com/5164608/a-boy-and-his-blob-looks-swell-in-motion-too The game on the other hand was one of the most frustrating experiences of my 7 year old life! I remember feeling so ripped off when I had saved all of my pocket money and… -
Re: Windows 10 free upgrade for Win 7, 8
Install a nVidia or AMD driver on top and Win update won't bother you. Stability depends mostly on drivers, not on the OS. If your manufacturer has great Win7 drivers but shitty Win10 ones then stick to Win7. Win 10 has been working great for me on Dell's workstations (T3500, T3600) and on my Acer media center, which must… -
Re: Uh Oh... (ActivisionBlizzard rant inside)
meh, back in 2002 Everquest tried doing a "Premium" server service that cost an extra $20 a month or so for "Exclusive content" and GM support the regular paying customers on the other servers never got. http://afkgamer.com/archives/2005/12/12/legends/ It was basically labeled a "Pay extra and get free l3wt" sorta deal… -
Re: Violence in Video Games
i don't think anyone who isn't mentally challenged has ever become desensitized to REAL LIFE violence. Sure you can run a million people over in GTA, but if you see someone get run over in real life there is a very real sense of panic about that. There is a very large gap between your feelings when playing a video game and… -
Re: Commuting: DS or PSP?
well if you're looking into disgaea, do definitely check out jeanne d'arc as well! plays much smoother than the somewhat old-fashioned disgaea imo. on the go it's usually lumines and lumines2 for me. as has been said, psp has sleepmode so if your game takes an age to load initially, that's not much of a concern. hacking it… -
Re: Macbook Pro Retina for 3D work? Fan noise?
Lukas, I'm a huge fan of OSX and Macs so it's hard for me to make this recommendation but you may want to look into getting a high powered MSI or ASUS gaming laptop rather than a Macbook Pro Retina for serious 3D work. Or even a Lenovo with a 3D GPU. They will be cheaper and there is certain software like xNormal that does… -
Re: Report problems with the new forums here
Make a list at the beginning of this thread of the features in discussion, so we'll know what has been addressed already and what is going to change. "Old theme is gone"? u can always change it. Ideally, there should be a pole thread with as many features voted as possible. Personally, i think that: -Avatars are a must. -I… -
Re: 9/11 - 5 years later, what were you doing?
I was at my desk at GM. I was talking to my boss and the guys in the next cube heard that a plane hit the Trade Center. I was thinking a Cesna or something. Just like bearcub, we tried to access the news sites and they were ALL down. So we decided to wheel one of our media carts into the cafeteria and turn on the news.… -
