It's actually ENTIRELY possible that there could be some within the next few months. You never know! :)

Why do people post stuff like this?

Its entirely possible a unicorn horn will sprout from my ass but that's not likely to happen. When people say "homebrew is possible in the next few months," what do you consider homebrew? A Hello World app? I can guarantee you will not see a useful HB app this year. I will guarantee you will not see a FW spoofer for 6 - 9 months, if not at least a year (if ever). If you think otherwise, then in all seriousness, you are lying to yourself. Why? I'm not even sure myself.

I have a 3.0 Switch. I'll update for Odyssey. Or actually, maybe I'll sell my "hackable" Switch and just buy an updated one.

Is this confirmed?
That you need to update the conolse to play offline games?
If so then fml

No way of confirming until Nintendo states it or someone gets the cartridge but seeing as how Nintendo would be vested in wanting to get people off the hackable FW, I'd say this is a reality.

Hey! A new asshole on the forums, super!

Sounds like you weren't around for the Vita scene. That exploded with rejuvinate very early.

Don't be a dingus who makes idiotic assumptions. Kiddo.

Look at my "messages", then look at yours. Look at my "likes", then back at yours...
You don't earn respect here by being an asshole, kiddie... unless you do it correctly, like me. ;) Just a word of wisdom. You're going about it all wrong.

no only if it requires online to work like splatoon. otherwise you can just put up with the nag screen and skip it each time you start the game.
Is that how it works? So if you have a 2.0.0 console and buy a physical copy of Splatoon 2, can you play it offline without updating the console?
I hear some people here say that game cartridges with updates force a system update, and that you probably can't play newer games like Mario Odyssey without updating to 3.0.1+. But that's not true?

I don't know if switch homebrew is going to come out within 2017. I hope it comes out in 5 seconds, but that's just wishful thinking.

I'd have to guess around late December 2017 or possibly mid-2018. Maybe 2019 if you're pessimistic.

Funny how you people saying no think you're right. You do not know when or if homebrew will happen. For all you know, it could happen today, tomorrow, next week, 4 years from now, or even 10 years from now. You do not know when, so stop saying not this year.

Don't you tell me what to say. I say no and it will be no!

This is just another useless speculation thread so please take every comment as an opinion based on the little knowledge we have on this one, nothing more and nothing less.

And since the most viable source has spoken already, this thread won't get us any further and can be closed for good.

    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.

    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

    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:
    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.
