Hey man welcome to GBAtemp!

This is a great place for homebrew and gaming discussions so you've come for the right place for that.

Although i'm not an expert on CRT gaming and finding good coding links (unfortunately) I can still recommend you games depending on which genres you like.

Honestly I don't know which games I can recommend any FPS that you haven't played yet, but a few suggestions are HL1/Black Mesa, MW1-MW2 and black ops, Borderlands 2 and LFD2, last two games are better played with friends.

Honestly that's it, I would list Portal 1 & 2 but that's not a "FPS" duology in the strictest sense but take as you will, still very much worth playing tho.

And yeah it is funny on how chance made us meet each other a couple of times lol.

Yea, Portal 2 is good and play 1 if you haven't, it's good stuff.

IDK anything about modding but I like Black Mesa for a more "modern" approach to Half Life, and likewise the OG goldsrc HL1 can be appreciated for being the original and all of the innovations that started it all.

I wouldn't say one is better then the other (well that's based on your preference) but each game is a good experience for different reasons.

Honestly just choose either one to start with, you can't really go wrong with either.

If you want a more "modern" experience then pick BM

If you want the "original" experience then pick HL1, personally I started with BM and really liked those games ever sense so it depends on what you value the most.

    I wonder if that was the point of game streaming
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    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.

    @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.

    @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 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)

    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.
