GP2X: No need for PSP homebrew
http://gp2x.co.uk/ Looking sweet and does everything many geeks use their PSP for (videos, MP3, emulation). Sure, it has no commercial game support lined up right now but doesn't look to me like a lack of games is a problem for the PSP, either. The thing is completely open and ships with Linux preinstalled. Means no… -
Re: Q: What do you do again?
ah, mum's are great, aren't they? Mine's being increasingly exposed to games by her young granddaughter, and has decided she doesn't like them. Had a wonderful conversation at the weekend where she came out with : "i'm glad you're not making those nasty games where you jump around landing on animal's heads" - referring to… -
Re: GTX 260 not working with Trilinear textures preview inside maya :(
achillesian: He's talking about Maya, btw! Also it can be handy to toggle the filtering depending on what assets you're working on - for low poly DS/handheld spec stuff you want filtering off, and for normalmapped stuff you want it on. It can also be useful when using stuff like procedural checker maps since Maya filters… -
Re: Normal maps, Engines and dull colour palettes!
I call bullshit on the artistic skill needed for this career getting easier... People back then most of the time were just picking colours that stood out from each other on the low resolution screens. I work in ds and psp games, and we need to sacrifice alot just to make shit readable, so obviously when you scale down all… -
Re: Untitled Pirate iPhone Game
ive done a bit of DS and handheld development in my time and its completely possible and very fast to render the scenes like i painted there using vertex colours alone, you would need to add a few cuts but nothing the scene couldnt cope with maybe 20 extra tris in the room and a few more in the church but still you can get… -
Re: ZBrush Limits
Yep, been getting this warning lately too. Im on a gaming laptop so no super specs here. Check Skip Loading under Undo History in the preferences menu, then store config and see if that helps. As far as your polycount goes, I have one heavy model that chugs a bit but functions and I checked the point count. It weigs in at… -
Re: Consoles Are the New Coin-Op
Why is it that one technology always has to replace another? It's as though these studies never consider them coexisting. I want simple games on my mobile devices, to be entertained when I'm waiting/bored somewhere. When I'm home, I want to fire up a game on my TV, with better visibility and better controls. Here's a… -
Re: I want your bodies
That's usually set up in tiers, there's the GBA/DS tier and the current gen tier. Usually the main team will make only one version (the home console version that is aimed at the weakest system included and given some additional effects for the bigger systems) and the portable version is outsourced. For the Splintercell… -
Re: Videogames and Pirating
I'm not a huge gamer, I tend to get into a game and beat it to death for a few years. I have never hacked any console games, the ones i have for PsOne and DS, I bought. I have downloaded cracked games for PC, namely Portal and Unreal3, which I purchased shortly after. Most of the games I play come from Steam, which I buy… -
Re: If you had the choice to remake 1 old school game.
Danr: I hear you man, I hear you Sensible World of Soccer is screaming for a remake, even if it's just web based or for the DS/PSP- it did something that few footy games have managed to do, which is merge the 2 ends of the football game spectrum and get a football action game which actually had management features. I would…
