Embrace the future of GAMING with SDATEMP! (April Fools)

The future of gaming is IN THE CLOUD!

Introducing SDAtemp - to embrace the new and exciting world of streaming gaming we are changing our identity, with a brand new focus on Google Stadia (SDA) and moving away from archaic local gaming systems such as the Nintendo Switch.

Some of you have called it for years, yelling “Nintendoomed!”, and we agree! Nintendo just won’t be able to keep up with the impressive technology that Google has at its fingertips. We recommend you sell your home consoles now while you can still get some money for them, before the Stadia makes physical media entirely worthless.

Face facts - traditional gaming as you know it is dead in the water. Long gone are the days of having to fumble with physical copies of games and cumbersome, electricity-guzzling home consoles. Gaming should be a relaxing hobby not a chore! Why struggle like a caveman with traditional media, installations and updates when you can hand over all that power and ownership to the hands of the publisher and not have to worry about those things anymore?

This very ethos will be at the CORE of SDAtemp as we also move our user experience to the CLOUD . . .

SDAtemp Client App (Windows 10 desktop app)​

That's right - we're soaring into the clouds to become the first ever streaming-only community. Save precious rendering time by having our dedicated servers do the work for you!

To make use of this transition we're introducing the SDAtemp Client App - experience SDAtemp anywhere and everywhere exactly the way we intended - bypassing browser inconsistencies, hijacking possibilities and ad-blockers!

You can take a sneak peak at the apps above and below. These apps will be available on a number of platforms over the coming weeks - starting with Windows 10 (exclusive to the Microsoft Store) and Amazon Fire devices (exclusive to the Amazon Appstore). Porting the app over to other platforms is a work in progress so please bear with us...

SDAtemp Client App (Amazon Fire Phone)​

SDAtemp's transition to streaming only is due to complete on April 8th and after this time the website will be unavailable and you'll be redirected to use one of the apps above to access SDAtemp.

This is an exciting time and we'll have more to share on the future of SDAtemp very soon but for now . . . See you in the CLOUD!

This has to be a April Fools joke... Right? If I remember correctly, the name, GBATemp was kept as a memento of the past when this used to be a site for GBA rom sharing. GBA meaning Gameboy Advance and Temp meaning Temporary. Meaning the roms were only hosted for a limited time until the next new releases rolled in.

It has to be a joke. iirc "streaming a website". That's one of the funniest April Fools jokes i have ever heard in my life.

    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.

    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?

    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

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    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)

    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.
