Project sketch:

I like digital synthesizers and want to make my ownish design. This arduino-compatible has some interesting features and has the capabilities needed for some pretty cool processing:



However, I also want to be able to turn knobs and push buttons and stuff to adjust the sound. Making a functional keyboard from tactile switches is absolutely possible but I've thought of a dumber solution: buy one of these cheap chinese toy keyboards and mod the keys into input:

$1.50:

$10:


Now that's so cheap it almost feels stupid. I've bought one of each of these little plastic miracles, will let you know how it works out

This looks like an interesting idea. Good luck!

I think we're missing the woods for the trees. Lumberyard may well be have been easy to join with starengine, but there must be a significant amount of custom platform scaffolding unrelated to the engine that means the jig is up for their devops guys.

Something just doesn't add up. StarEngine supposedly has vast custom improvements like 64-bit precision, yet it only took a short time to get the whole game working on Lumberyard? It seems to me, either all their changes were isolated to a few objects/classes or they never made any significant changes.

Looking at the documentation, I can't even tell if you can make changes to the base engine; if somehow you can't, that would be incredibly damning to their StarEngine story.

About 50 pages back someone figured out MoMa's source is none other than Chris Roberts, himself. Which would explain why he is wrong so often.

If any of the goons have actual sources its by someone(s) so low level they aren't even privy to an engine change which is pretty freaking hilarious.

More than likely is that there has been no engine change, and this is just a boondoggle to prep citizens for the upcoming engine changes.

I guess the shitizen fantasies about CIG licensing out its custom revolutionary engine are dashed.

quote:

Q. Can I take Lumberyard and make my own game engine and distribute it?

No. While you may maintain an internal version of Lumberyard that you have modified, you may not distribute that modified version in source code form, or as a freestanding game engine to third parties. You also may not use Lumberyard to distribute your own game engine, to make improvements to another game engine, or otherwise compete with Lumberyard or Amazon GameLift.

What about any situation where sharing source code might be beneficial?

quote:

Q: Can I redistribute source code modifications to Lumberyard?

Yes, you can redistribute up to 50 lines of source code, on forums (including the official Lumberyard contribution forum), or elsewhere. You may also share modifications with your contractors and publishers working on your game, as set out in the Service Terms. Otherwise, you may not release Lumberyard engine source code.

50 lines of code. lol

quote:

Q. Where can I tell you about my Lumberyard game?

Please register your Lumberyard project here https://aws.amazon.com/gamedev/contact-us/ before it is released.

They believe Croberts has been working on a networking Cheezus patch (3.0) non-stop over the holiday break. It will revolutionize computer games for decades when released. It meshes cloud servers into instances dynamically, and in high fidelity. It's basically physicalized virtual server farms. Amazing tech.

Only Gamelift isn't designed for persistence. There is nothing stopping you from using other Amazon services to run persistent servers.

Showing code on a screen in a video isn't exactly the kind of redistribution they are worried about. You'll also have to get Amazon or Crytek lawyers to give a poo poo.

Ok, so yeah, they might be doing better on the engine front. They might even get functioning net code. So what?

This does nothing to balance out all the other fuckery they have to deal with. One look at the checks that Crobberts wrote with his mouth and stretch goals will tell you how hosed they still are. No design documents. No gameplay foundation. Not even attempts at balancing the ships. Non-existant flight model. 140 million dollars of pre-sold commodities that will utterly wreck any attempt to create a functioning economy. A (relatively) tiny player base that can never sustain continued operations. Mo-cap reshoots that apparently still are ongoing.

Merry christmas, CIG! May you see another!
