Best advice I was ever given?

after four years of this in the game dev thread they've realized it's easier just to say "ok cool" and watch my poo poo pyramid slowly evolve into something built on a pyramid of poo poo rather than protesting "but fundamentals"

Yeah, I don't know why any coders give a poo poo about someone's source for a game that runs and people are buying. All code is going to look like poo poo to someone somewhere, no matter how elegant you think it is. And if the end product is working fine, why do people care? OCD, I'm guessing.

Some questions about Homefront: Revolution? I know it's not supposed to be godawful, but how's the gunplay and exploration? Urban Far Cry or are there better options? Some weird guns or is it standard pistol/shotgun/mg/rockets loadout?
Also, very important: does it have ragdolls?

Gun-wise, you can hit-swap bits of gun to turn your pistol into an SMG, or your AR into a limpet mine launcher. That's always fun. The shooting felt good, it's like Red Faction Guerilla in that, at least early on, you won't win a standup gunfight so you have to hit and run. I liked it.

i dont know why anyone would post their code publicly if they're completely unwilling to take any kind of suggestions on improving it, even extremely simple ones

It's kind of a chill artistic experience in the woods, kind of a tower defense/resource management against increasingly difficult waves of enemies, kind of a game where you really become a legendary queen or king.

It's really atmospheric and good and absolutely worth the price.

Was F.E.A.R. the only FPS that ever introduced bullet time in multiplayer? It had a mode that was fun as hell where a Bullet Time device would spawn randomly in the map and the team that captured it would get a few seconds of bullet time while the other team watched their game move at 1/10 speed.

The Specialists (a Matrix-/John Woo-inspired HL1 mod) had slow-mo in multiplayer, but it was somehow localized like a bubble of slow-mo. Still not sure exactly how they implemented that and kept it balanced.

I can tune a fish.
Agents of Mayhem is weird. Not even bad - I'm having fun! - just weird. I can see why it didn't take off, since it's a bit of a clusterfuck of overlapping mechanics and the open world is the worst part of it. I actually haven't minded the writing (at least in terms of banter) all that much, but Hollywood is definitely the worst character so it's a shame he's so prominent in the early game.

And it's a shame it'll probably never get followed up on, because underneath all the clunky elements there's something genuinely good. When it's firing on all cylinders, third person shooter + Diablo 3's rune system + Darkspore's character switching actually works pretty well.

I felt the same. It's really not a bad game, it's just overshadowed by like 30 other titles this year. No need to tolerate the jank with so many quality titles out there.

uh no, if you can write a series of if statements you can simplify it into a single test case without much difficulty like his example, theres no way thats "way above your head." also you literally posted about not having improved in 4 years to the point where nobody even bothers to give you coding advice in the game making thread anymore, spending that long coding and not improving is an active choice

It affects everyone on the server. There are two different types and the person who activated it gets the benefit of faster movement and bullets. Its fantastic how it was implemented and the game is a few years older than FEAR, being a half life mod I played in high school with my friends

I think Perfect Dark had an MP slomo item as well but I only played it with bots, not sure if it was available in PVP.

MP3 slowed down anyone the user could see. In the 2 months before the MP turned to botted-to-hell garbage, I used to go up high and use it to debuff most of the enemy team.

God, that game had amazing multiplayer that got wrecked by a lovely community


E:also, The Matrix Online was also a house fire. It had great potential but never came close to nailing it.

What we're saying is why should he? It's your OCD making you post it. His code works fine and is in a game for sale. That's far better code than almost every programmer on the planet who just tinkers with it all day and never publishes a drat thing.
