SourceTree is good, not great, but for most things as a GUI it's "good enough". Ironically it's coded not very well, sucks RAM if left open too long, and can slow your system to a crawl on bigger commits. But mostly it works. When I worked in games they used Perforce, mostly because of the large binaries reasons mentioned above. If that's not a concern, or if your binaries don't change often, GitHub is probably Good Enough.

Nition posted:I have exactly one GOTO in the maybe ~30,000 lines of C# code in Scraps. It's in a big method where I set up a bunch of stuff, and the method can either run right through or it can finish early, but still needs to do the same clean-up code at the end either way. At the very end it assigns the results of its calculations to the object that was originally passed in. I found some old code of mine that exits a loop early (almost as bad as goto!) that's similar to what you describe; I'm passing in like a dozen extrapolated values and just don't want to have to deal with them after a certain point. In the one case where further processing isn't necessary this was the comment: code:

To speak to the whole 'C# is it better?' another thing to consider is the established toolchain and resources already present for C#. It's a higher level language with all that entails, but there are tonnes of resources for it too.

Voted! Been loving seeing what you're doing with Scraps. If only you could have Groove Champion.

Oh my, this changes things. Is UE4 still using Xamarin/mono for the C# stuff?

So apparently Source Engine 2 is happening, and it's going to be free? http://techcrunch.com/2015/03/03/valve-announces-source-2-and-itll-be-free

ErIog posted:You're assuming that the market for games is static. It's not. It's growing. As the cost of computers/devices comes down the market for games is growing very quickly in developing countries, and the market even in developed countries gets larger every year too. There are more people playing and buying games now than ever. Yeah I liken it to 'web design'. In the 90s it was an actual in-demand skill. Then it got really easy to do and automation tools are rampant (wix, wp, etc etc). But there are still 'web designers', some good, a lot bad. That said, I don't think the game industry will grow at the rate internet adoption did, but they're comparable circumstances.

Stick100 posted:[no industry experience] (worked on and off at EA for a couple of years in non-programming roles) Yeah this really. Your course selection isn't that important, your portfolio/reel is. At worst what I've seen while doing resume trawls with a team lead is what school it actually is, as in "Oh hey this guy went to (school x) that's where I went".

Shalinor posted:4.8 is also when they add DLC support, theoretically, which might be the start of how to support modding via UE4. Exciting times. Yeah. I haven't moved beyond the tinkering stage but I thought I'd ask some of you grizzled, hairy, scarred veterans. Has it ever been this easy? Have the tools ever been this good? I remember coding a Warlords clone back in the early 90s in Turbo Pascal and it freaking amazes me the hoops we had to jump through back then just to get graphics and sprites working.

Sorry if this is the wrong thread to ask; I asked in the retro games thread in games earlier but nobody has bit on it: I'm starting some homebrew dreamcast development just to keep my mind busy, and I want to surprise a cousin of mine who's really helped me out in the past and is a total dreamcast fanatic. I'm comfortable with C++/gcc/etc from past work in games but have never really done anything on my own out of the box. Right now I'm roughly following this guide for toolchain setup: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=916501 (and good god cygwin is still a bitch to set up) Anyone here done anything similar? Any 'gotchas' using KallistiOS as recommended here?

Yeah when I worked in games all the binaries went into Perforce and all the code into something else that I forget. Definitely not VSS, and this pre-dates Git/Bitbucket/Stash.

Uncle Kitchener posted:What's a good way of maintaining EU4 projects and builds? Git or Perforce or mixing both? I started making some git copies of my projects, but they didn't work right, even when I ignored unrealengine on git settings. Things didn't really build right. It's a bit slow (last post Jan 12) but there's also a dedicated RCS thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3113983

BabelFish posted:I mean, there are some major exceptions. Epic is still private (the CEO owns > 50% of the company) and is doing well enough for Tim to have a hobby of buying thousands of acres of land to stop them being logged. Bungie hated being public so bad they bought themselves out. And I doubt Valve would want to IPO any time soon. Huh, I knew they were private but I didn't know that's part of what he was using the Fortnite dollars on. Good for him.

, and the big publishers like EA are in it for the cash, but there's a lot of people in this industry who just want to make make a decent living making cool stuff.

Yeah I'd replace "professional" with maybe "first party console and some PC", and even then there's some wiggle room.
