My favorite book that I'm reading right now is called Little Brother. It's a book about hacking, encryption and fighting the government. Google it.
The favorite book that I've read, ever, is probably either The Hunger Games or Divergent. I just love the first person perspective along with the action/adventure genre

Rick Riordan's The Heroes of Olympus Book Five - The Blood of Olympus had an awesome ending, and Rick Riordan is already attempting to fill the holes in the plot (there was technically only one hole) with a new series, the first book of which is already released. For those who don't know, Rick Riordan is the author of the 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians' series, two of which were made into movies. The Heroes of Olympus series follows on from the events after the last book in the 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians' series.

For those interested, I included a spoiler with the details of what the plot hole mentioned above is:

Basically, the original location of the Oracle of Delphi (the original Cave of Delphi) was taken back by Apollo's enemy Python while Apollo was being afflicted by his warring Roman and Greek personalities. He later fled to one of his shrines in the Roman lands to have peace between the personalities. While he was there, Gaea told Python to make the Oracle of Delphi tell Apollo a false prophecy, which he told Octavian, which ignited his ego, and inadvertently caused him to make war between Camp Half Blood and Camp Jupiter; this in turn angered Zeus, and Apollo had to stay at the shrine because of it. In the second-to-last chapter of the last book, Zeus claims that Gaea's rebirth, as well as the war in general, could have been prevented if Apollo hadn't let the Oracle of Delphi get taken in the first place. Apollo is then blasted by a lightning bolt by Zeus and disappears. The new series attempts to tell why the Oracle of Delphi was taken, and follows the 'Trials of Apollo' (the name of the series) after he is stripped of his godly state by Zeus and thrown to Earth, with Zeus' final words being 'Your fault, your punishment'. I already read The Trials of Apollo Book One - The Hidden Oracle, and anyone who has read his previous works will LOVE the seemingly new style of storytelling he is attempting to use in this series (the entire book is narrated solely by Apollo, and some of the things he says are downright funny - maybe even funnier than Leo's jokes from the Heroes of Olympus series).

    I wonder if that was the point of game streaming
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But it's a dead end
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, people who cant download it can still play the game
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage

    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, ik

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
