So glad I didn't even use the Switch after I bought it.
why wouldn't you? if I bought a new console, I'd be all over it. even if you want to preserve the system version for homebrew, you can just block the update server.

Rofl. "So glad I bought a $300 paperweight."

$380 including the $80 extra for a usable controller. I can't speak for others but I bought the Switch specifically for homebrew and playing backups. It can sit and collect dust. So I might have to wait a while to play the few worthwhile Switch games coming out. I'm not interested in pared down versions of games that have superior versions on superior platforms for less money.

He said "eventually". That could be years from now.
Creating a homebrew toolchain/environment is not something that can be done quickly. Maybe if we had the Switch SDK we would be able to make homebrew sooner, but it would be illegal homebrew.
Based on how quickly daeken made an emulator and his discussion in a live stream of how he plans to do homebrew, wouldn't be surprised if the tool chain was done within a month, if not already close. Based on the picture in his post I would say this is already part of the toolchain being developed. My bet is we will have homebrew within the next 12 months, and that's my conservative guess. I would say it will be sooner rather than later.

Homebrew is gonna take a long time, and backups might not happen at all past 3.0.0. IMO it's only worth buying a device to hack/exploit when you can actually do something with it immediately afterward.

to be honest, for people with jobs and whatnot who are just too unsure of wether or not to update, just start saving money now, so when the switch gets blown open, just buy a switch on an exploitable FW at a slightly inflated price. if you save now, you'll be able to afford it later.

    Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.

    @BigOnYa, why did you start saying my pc has a hamster in the first place?

    Its actua!ly just a old joke, meaning its slow. Was just kidding around with you.

    I bet @AncientBoi has some hamsters hidden somewhere tho....

    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
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    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

    @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:
    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)

    im taking a break for today anyway

    YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    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.
