sure Kaz will be able to pick things up at Sony hopefully.

I wonder what this all means to the future of such said companies

I know that panasonic and sharp have quite a comprehensive appliances "section" - maybe that can fill in the gap

Not to mention literally every company that operates out of Japan has been getting completely screwed by the yen. I know Nintendo got some pretty harsh losses despite rather fantastic 3DS software sales (hardware sales don't help them).

It's the strong yen that screw them and I wouldn't be surprised to see Sony drop out of TVs. They still have major holds in music and film so they've got their fingers in enough pies. Hopefully they have some fire sale on those budget 3D TVs, I wouldn't mind getting one.

Mostly because big corporations money doesn't 100% come from sales rather from long and short term investments with excess capital. Nintendo had for a long time a bunch of money that they were just kind of sitting on and investors always complained why they didn't have better financial investments, long story short it caught up to them when the yen got strong. Anyway poeple buy sharp tvs? The only time I see them are at walmart, cheap tvs aren't going to be very profitable.

Sony's Tv line were overpriced and behind compared to Samsung. In all honesty as @_prowler said the only Tv's anyone buys are Samsung now.

I have a Samsung television in my bedroom and I love it.
My parents have a Sony television in the living room and it's not as good.

What does strong yen mean anyway?

it means that their profits from selling to other countries like the US is less because our money to them is worthless

I'm not surprised that Sharp is on that list for losses. Their TVs are utter crap... At the place I used to work, commercials would constantly be up to demo them, and on more than a few the Sharps would cut out on the picture.

Even crappier than Westinghouse or Coby? Never thought that would be possible.

Now you're making me think of another brand we had that was nothing but pure ass. We had them as a black friday special and only sold about ten.

    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.

    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:

    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    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

    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:
    @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)

    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.
