I still see this happen. "Pipeliness" studios many times I do consulting. In spite of having no pipelines of any kind, they still produce great games, engaging experiences, profitable apps. Only that they ship projects at a much higher cost than they could.

Star Nomad 2 was released in 2016 on Google Play & iOS. It was updated often during the first year, fixing bugs, adding features players requested. I’ve changed the UI, the flight systems, the AI, etc, to improve it based on feedback where possible. The last major update was in 2019. Google Android 9 & 10 in particular, broke code back compatibility, the game would crash, a pretty major flaw.

Godot's visual scripting language, VisualScript, was introduced in Godot 3.0, almost five years ago. Despite our continuous effort, it never gained traction and the path to improve it was never clear. Because of this, for Godot 4.0, we decided to accept that the approach we took from the start was simply not the right one and decided to remove it from the engine.

I’m spending some time getting back up to speed on the major players in the games sector as part of my increased involvement in Hiro Capital, and this chart in the Activision Blizzard annual report leaped out at me: Microsoft was less than 10% of Activision Blizzard’s revenue. Sony was more, and the two main mobile platforms were about 1/3 of the total.

It looks ridiculous when all enemies attack the player at once. And it’s frustrating. We need to globally throttle the attack rate. Inspired by this fascinating Doom talk , I implemented a token system. Before each attack, enemies must acquire a token for it. After the attack and some cooldown period, the token goes back into the “free” pool.

Have you ever drawn an analogy between film and music? The question may seem silly, especially since cinema is a visual art, but we have a lot to share in this regard. Perhaps you should take a look at the work of Damien Chazelle because there is no more musical director who is so precisely and sensitively able to synchronize melody and image. And we're not talking about the simple juxtaposition of music that is in every film - we're talking about something more sensual and aesthetic.

Creating a video game is not a simple task, it is a time and effort-consuming, and challenging process. It takes a team of developers, designers, 2D 3D artists, project managers, and producers to work hard to deliver a high-quality and lucrative game that will reach the top. As long as the gaming industry keeps expanding at high speed, the market gets highly competitive.

No one Talks about the Stamina Bar in Farming Games. What the Stamina Bar Does. The Stamina bar is often a secondary thing in gamers minds. It’s like, Oh, so my energy goes down if I use this. And they continue on with the game. So if you’re mining, you just have that stamina bar in the back of your mind as you carefully whack away the stones and your stamina drops down little by little.

T his paper on “Mastering uncertainty: A predictive processing account of enjoying uncertain success in video game play” is very worth a read if you are interested in the frontiers of figuring out what “fun” is. Luckily for me, it doesn’t say I’ve been on the wrong track for decades. It does raise interesting questions given its framework — I’d love to see slot machines explained — though there is some stuff on affect that likely ties in.

What does it take a game to become popular and therefore profitable? The market today is full of various options. Once users open the store, they get dazzled by such a wide range of offers. That is why it is crucial to make sure the game you are going to launch is bug-free as well as visually attractive. . Visual matters indeed! It is fair to say that any video game is a work of art.

I’ve recently been asked to think about what rising inflation ( 8.2% in the UK in June; 9.1% over the last 12 months in the US) means for the video game industry. There are three areas to think about: the impact on prices the impact on costs the effect of the wider political and economic situation. My current TL/DR is that prices for consumers will go up, but not enough to offset the increase in development costs (salaries, energy, and to a lesser extent physical distribution).

There’s no programming involved and all the art needed is given to you to make games quickly. That’s why I regret making my game in RPG Maker MV.

But don't worry – the feature release 3.5 is just around the corner (and you can use it now via its last release candidate ), and 4.0 beta is not far off either.

If the end of your game is wordless and full of weird imagery, please take it slow! We need a minute to figure out what we’re looking at! I have finished a lot of games lately, and I’ve experienced a lot of badly done endings. When you write a story, the ending is important. Writing the end should be really fun and satisfying. No more exposition!

Why Harvest Island is Different from other Farming Sim Genre. Harvest Island is a Story Driven Game. There aren’t a lot of story driven games in the farming genre. In fact, there’s one game that comes close to it and it’s rune factory, but that’s a flip of a coin because the main goal of rune factory is to farm and get marry just like the other farming simulator.
