I know it's not new that people are asking "when does it get dumped" but it sort of took a little extreme in the last days.
so my suggestion is, how about you give the kids their own corner?
sort of like a "controlled" testing area. Posts don't get count and threads get deleted (or closed) once the game in question has been dumped.
that being said, i know that it could be a problem because these kind of threads sort of condone asking for ROMS.

Is it here yet?

Yeah those threads get really annoying real quick don't they.

I don't think they need a special location, I just agree, when the game arrives, just delete the thread, and let the contributors figure it out where their post count went.

As for condoning piracy, come on get real, this forum commits no crimes, but the whole damn lot of us have no problem with using downloads, and anyone looking will see that.

They are stupid threads. I mean, for God's sake, WHY DON'T YOU TRY USING GOOGLE??? I didn't find out how to use roms and emulators by writing on forums. I was smart enough to figure it out for myself and using a search engine. IF THE GAME IS OUT IT WILL BE ON THE FRONT PAGE LIST!

Too harsh if you ask me, but a 10% increase in warning might do the trick

They won't even notice it.

EDIT: One day suspension would probably be more reasonable and sufficient to deter the activity.

Warning system to be improved soon

The only way it can be improved is by increasing the amount the warn increases on each offense.

  • 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
  • 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
  • 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:
    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.
