You know what else is stupid?
The Start Home and Select positions, the original 3DS start/home/select button placements sucked to begin though I eventually got used to it.
However this is a much bigger 3DS, reaching out for those buttons is going to be much harder now.

Remember the complaints about the Wii U below screen button placement, this is almost the same thing :/

What???

I had been thinking about getting a new one because of the touch-screen problems my current 3DS has developed.
And this gets announced? I love to draw, and with a larger screen, and what looks like a matte finish instead of a gloss one, hmm.

Dammit I'm just a sucker for buying multiple Nintendo handhelds.

Eh. It doesn't look like it'll be that much different. Plus, it looks like they're ACTUALLY separate now (instead of a single cover on them), which will make pressing them much easier, I imagine.

Hmm, I think people have to let go of the 3DS in order to press the home button now, I'm not sure. Still, wouldn't it be better with DS lite button placements?
Actual buttons is a plus though.

I never owned a DSLite (or any of the DS series before the 3DS, for that matter), so I wouldn't know. :P
I only owned the original DS (out of the DS family) before the 3DS but I've played them a couple of times and I used to repair them.

to me, this seems way too early. it's like nintendo has turned into apple: releasing a new, improved model every year. I guess we should expect the LLLL some time next year.

I see that they haven't fixed that screen thing issue. That just means a bigger mark when you close it =.=
I'm not getting this. Wait for the next revision after it :P

    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.

    @BigOnYa, i only have like 1 or 2 mb sec

    Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, why did you start saying my pc has a hamster in the first place?

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    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

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    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.
