Huh this looks fantastic. The Doom demo really sold for me that this could be a great tool for accelerating QA at my gamedev studio. Signed up for early access.

I was genuinely excited to try this and it sounded in theory like a lot of fun! Unfortunately yeah too slow to load.

Ironically you've failed to use your own app to build a landing page to capture leads! I bounced off immediately and would need to see an example before filling this stuff out.

As a game developer it's kind of sad to see such practices in stealing my or others hard work.
But I have to keep telling myself those kids or parents wouldn't have paid for them anyway.
Maybe consider buying a few copies at least in the future?

Project management is definitely ripe for new competitors. But the pricing sales form dark pattern is so frustrating. Why do people do that? Does it really increase engagement? It legitimately pisses me off, and I'm the decision maker on taking on this kind of software or not.

There exists software to reproject texture normals back on to a high poly model. So this problem does have a solution for anyone interested.

In a world where chat gpt exists I think even work samples are untrustworthy sources of excellence unfortunately.
It would seem one has to either watch the process or devise unique and difficult to game tests.
Re:Free Godot Engine for Official Switch Developers
on Tuesday January 23, 2024 @12:31PM (#39106557)
He's talking about the Switch port library. It didn't support C# yet.
But also on the wider topic Godot still struggles with making C# a first class citizen compared to its home baked script language. They're improving things but it's not great yet.
Re:Cloudflare lays off new hires

I have no credentials to provide an informed opinion, but in my industry of gamedev where layoffs are currently widespread and massive, the consensus seems to be that the past 3 years saw unprecedented hiring growth due to covid etc and it has caused an otherwise "normal" consolidation cycle to be way larger.
For me I think it rings true - I don't think some dark storm is coming it's just the tide going back out after a big spending spree.

Honestly I'm afraid you don't know what you're talking about. Blazor just isn't that experience and hasn't been for awhile.
Re:.NET Blazor
on Tuesday November 21, 2023 @10:33AM (#38364986)
You can't be blamed for having that opinion given history. But Blazor is I think standing on the graves of those previous attempts and is looking extremely strong - it is as of even a year ago mature, well supported, and a deep ecosystem.
I think it's pretty safe to be optimistic at this point.

Ublock does all this. However in the first few weeks you had to manually update it. In Firefox it works flawlessly now.
I would say Blazor is really very very good now. One of the most awesome things about it is that your skill with it transfers almost directly between a desktop app, web API, or web site. All the code is almost the same.
The answer is complicated, that's why.
In a good way kinda - you can build IL bytecode exes that are portable across all platforms and you can also build fully native platform specific binaries too (though there can be gotchas around library support).

Your representative problem strikes me as very weird. Greeces own citizens are benefiting immensely as you say because now they can follow their preferred careers within the EU and enrich themselves and their family.
Surely it's the failure of their own government to provide a high value internal export and not the EU?

I'm not sure I understand the point you're making with your story - the technical manager wasn't 'hazing' you, they were simply trying to validate your cv against reality by making to talk to what's on there in detail.
Are you suggesting what he did was a bad interview practice?

> Also saying people will spend as much on virtual clothes as real clothes feels offbase, but maybe I'm wrong.
As a gamedev I can absolutely believe this. You don't have to spend much time googling the breakdown of consumer spend in the games industry to see that this is absolutely, sadly, true.
But they don't need to spend all their time in those metaverse to do that.
