During the Conference, Reggie said that the 3DS is going to have more launch Support than any other console. Therefor, how many games do you think that will be.

DS: 11
Wii: 21
Gamecube: 12
Gameboy Advance: 15
Playstation 2: 29
Playstation 3: 17

Xbox: 13
Xbox 360: 18

20-40 games seems plausible. Just because Nintendo says it will come with more launch games than any other console ever has before doesn't mean it actually WILL.

I say 20 of them will be avail at launch the rest will be released over time until other devs are ready to release their games.

Im pretty sure nintendo gave the dev kits to these companies first because they are known of their level of quality that they get when someone goes to buy one of ninty's handhelds.

So those along with the first party and second party releases are sure to make it a successful launch and probably successful first year.

I'd say 10-20 launch games. Not that it really matters; it's all about the quality of the games. The DS had a fair amount of launch titles, but none of them were really that good. Super Mario 64 DS was the best of them, and that was a remake.

They could easily have 40+ if its filled with crappy 3rd party games
But based on E3 the amount of Good games available at launch is more then i recall any other console getting

    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.

    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

    @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)

    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.
