Now I'm not a total stranger to making video.

Multiplayer games have evolved from pure session-based and traditional massively multiplayer online games (MMOs) to newer online experiences that combine persistent and session-based elements. Games such as Destiny 2 and Rust are great examples of this. The persistent gameplay can be “hubs” or “home worlds” that players wander in and interact with, then launch into session-based experiences.

Absolutely we do. It's super rare to deliver ahead of schedule and we actually don't even want that - we want to be on time so that the marketing schedule goes to plan. Instead of finishing early and going on vacation, we usually take that additional time to take on and finish out lower-priority tasks. Any additional time in the schedule is where we fit in tasks like polishing various aspects of the game, iterate and make things more fun, sand some of the rougher edges off, fix frustration point

Hi, I think I’ve found a bug concerning the label cache mode and draw calls. The projects we’re working on require several labels to be displayed simultaneously. To avoid the labels generating too many draw calls we have got into the habit of using a bitmap font (or the bitmap cache mode). This worked perfectly until 3.8.6. With 3.8.6, everything seems to work correctly at first sight, but when you disable then re-enable labels, they generate draw calls as if there were no font bitmap (or bi.

ALT It depends on how far over budget we're projected to go and how much budgeted dev time we've got left. If our [ burn rate ] is trending way too far over budget to feasibly make our release, the answer is usually "cancel the game". On rare occasions, when the stars align and the proposal is accepted, the answer is "get the people funding the project to inject additional funding for development time".
