Torrenting has been a way of life since 2004 for me. It's a great distribution platform, especially if you have a fast connection.

:lol:
Isn't it a bit redundant to ask that question on a forum specializing in console hacking?
'Cept we only hack consoles and handhelds for homebrew purposes right?

Sure used torrent a lot back then where download speeds used to shit as in 1 week for just 4gb. Living in a 3rd world country and that's the only way you can have games as they cost as much as a month worth of food. We don't even have shops that sell legit games lols, well maybe 1 or 2 shop that is 30km away that sell at x3 the price.

Only stop torrenting afters things got easily accessible (a lot more shops sell legit games and it's easy to import/order games now also psn/steam) and prices go down significantly (sales/discounts). It's even kind more convenient since I don't need tons of HDD space anymore to store games and I can just redownload it from steam. Even bought games I used to pirate as I kid since like, hey I like that game back then, whoa it's only <5$ neat.

dunno bout Nintendo products and games, seems like they still sell it at a premium price here, so... yo-ho-ho!

    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.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

    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
  • 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.
