I know, I'm a grumpy old fart. Sorry to be the party bummer.

I don't like game trailers that don't feature game content, I find them pointless (and a huge waste of money).

Hate these trailers.

What a beard Stipe has grown!

Bump. Theme for Challenge 3 announced: backtracking.

Quote We would like you to create a map where the player interacts with an area and then has to backtrack through the same area, but the area must have changed.

Deadline is 18th April @ 11:00 GMT

Must say it's quite annoying the double scrolling in the page, the inner area scroll is slow and then skips up/down when you reach the end and normal page scrolling kicks in. With "modern" (10 years old) standard HTML+CSS coding, you can achieve the same effect, in a cleaner way.

Edit: dunno what happened, after digging in one level (viewing one screenshot) and clicking the title to go back to main page, the double scrolling disappeared and it's normal and works fine. Dunno why that happened on first load, not happening now.

Thumbnail shots don't do justice to this map

Searching with Google I just found this definition applied to F2P games

so sounds like depending on the genre/game type you can have it differently. But in general, I think the terms quite univocally suggest a perceivable system in place to prevent progression (hard) vs a system that makes the player think he's just not good enough/character isn't equipped yet/etc.

Is explained well here I think:

Quote Put in basic terms: a hard-gate is an obstacle that requires the player go do something else before they can progress. A soft-gate is an obstacle that encourages the player to go do something else before they can progress.http://renegadesector.com/2015/02/design-soft-gates/

Are you writing some kind of essay?

considering what they were originally thinking of doing with borrowed copies of physical games between Xboxes, I would speculate they have thought of something...

I was thinking I would get it as well before we saw the Oculus price. Not that it isn't justifiable, but I only then realized how powerful systems need to be to run those things, so I'll wait.

I did report that some posts ago @(HP)

Apparently the W10 version is 75Gb, contains the live action TV show episodes, that are instead streamed on Xbox da hell Microsoft??

The reported awful way the Windows Store works seems to be the biggest incentive to get Xboxes...

if you preorder.

No idea what's the answer @laminutederire, best of luck for the endeavour tho.

in mundane news just got finally home. Flight delayed 3 hours because of yesterday's weather; luckily had a business class ticket to make the wait more bearable. Problem was in Italy, no transport other than taxi at 2AM, so I "slept" sitting at a table in the only dark spot of the airport. Also forgot my book on the plane -_-'

All in all, would have definitely been much better value for money pay the full taxi fare (90€) straight away.

Looks pretty detailed and good looking, wouldn't see why not working on it if it has a good layout and you have ideas on how to differentiate.

Maybe save the last version before you really start detailing and texture, just in case you want change theme.

Only comment I have is: think the garage doors are supposed to be flipped with the roll on the inside? But maybe you have reference that says otherwise.

And i was hoping to finally like a Zack Snyder movie. How did this guy gets hired for such hi-profile movies?

Been testing my friend's game to be, you can try it here using Firefox (needs Unity web plugin)

is a dual-stick inspired shooter, but controlling an airplane things are a little bit different. For now there are only just other ships coming through and no real objectives.

There's a Greenlight page to vote for it as well

Well technically no, but you know what I mean.

What the actual fuck ??? Batman looked legitimately badass!
