Re: Microsoft Creative Director on Always Online: 'Deal With It'
it will not kill the AAA game market it will kill the monopoly that microsoft and sony have over the distribution network. thats what the console really is. both the consumers and the producers are locked into the physical platform. with digital downloads there is no difference between the distribution network of an xbox… -
Re: The value of money and games
also regarding the digital downloads and steam: yeah. it was nice to own disks back in the day...i don't know about you, but i have small kids...that shortens the lifespan of any disk by several years...so it's nice not to have to buy the game again every time it gets too scratched to run properly. there's also the fact… -
Re: Separate texture sets or atlases?
my .02's incoming. When working on items, they aren't already packed into the uv space before you move onto the next one? Since you are making packs. Why not keep them separated items separated & when you are ready to pack multiple items together in an atlas then also provide the atlas versions? or variations of atlas… -
Re: MightyBake Tool Announce
I would develop against the Steam Runtime in the distribution of your choice. (Personally I like Xubuntu 14.04 LTS.)

Re: Business Influence on Game Development?
Did I say the consoles are not currently capable? Consoles are not only capable, but already doing it, with Xbox live etc. What I said was, until we have the next generation of consoles that will likely be heavily reliant on digital distribution as the main path of getting games into consumer's hands, you're still going to… -
