Game Designing

OCTOBER 1, 2022

With GDevelop, anyone can easily get started making and even selling their own games – and you won’t need to write a line of code! Once you’ve outgrown GDevelop and want to move on to other software, many of the skills and concepts you’ve learned will carry over into other game development environments. But how is that possible?

Creating an AMI while a Unity build job is reading/writing the cache may cause cache inconsistencies in the snapshot.

Game designers must know various coding languages to create levels, interactions, progression, etc. A fairly new concept, augmented reality makes players feel like the game is part of the real world by incorporating elements in the player’s environment. Computer science gives professionals a headstart.

One is sketching a scene or character concept very rough and with a lot of gesture on a piece of paper (or digitally) but in the following steps, when it comes to outlining the shapes, the sketch becomes sort of stiff and loses its dynamic. I bet those of you who are into drawing experienced this also once or twice while working on a piece.

I usually start with a location or concept from which I build a ‘mind map’. Then I write down everything I consider relevant into spreadsheets to compare them all. This includes a more technical identification of needs, what would I have to implement in code? This concept grew organically from a single idea.

The concepts are the same, just the syntax is slightly different. The concepts and the principles are the same, the only difference is the syntax. And syntax means the way how the code is written. Essentially you’re using the same thing, but you’re writing it in a different way, that’s it.

And games haven't been the most value-driven industry in my opinion (referring to the abuse of addictive mechanics in games for profit, massive company layoffs to meet financial targets and the pressure on teams to deliver, leading to crunch and toxic behaviours, etc.). Do you have a concept in mind?” These are valid questions.

For instance, manual scaling involves directly inputting changes through a console, command line interface (CLI), or infrastructure as code (IaC) deployment. Blue arrows represent trigger events leading to heightened activity, whereas red arrows indicate the manner in which the platform’s auto scaling mechanism adapts to the rise in demand.

As a general concept teleportation technology exists in quite a few varieties throughout the world of Cogmind, though the player only has access to some of them.

Hourly recording of dev work continues as usual, and the trajectory is similar to last year with more time put towards coding and work on the game itself as opposed to community-facing marketing-type stuff (an angle made easier by the lack of public releases, but we’ll get to that later :P). Development Time. Noticing a trend yet?

The big change that always gets mentioned when going from Civ 4 to Civ 5 is one-unit-per-tile (1UPT), which is interesting as 1UPT is purely a mechanical – as opposed to thematic – change. The game, a historical 4X set in classical antiquity, released on July 1, 2021, and is available for purchase here.

In my simulation code, men can have one of five sexual moods: Top, Bottom, VersBottom (Versatile), TrueVers, and Voyeur. Instead I adapted a more abstract "hanky code" , a color coding system most popular among gay men in the 1970s to flag which types of sex acts and roles they enjoyed. These moods must be compatible.
