Hey I don't wanna "Cause a Scene" but who is Phil Fish?

S'il vous plait

A very good man.

Isn't he the guy that posted some retarded shit after winning IGF with an incomplete game, twice? Isn't he a quite obnoxious guy?

Oh yes, this is how you do it!

Love this series! Thank YOU!

I don't consider Steam as DRM. I can play my game(s) in any PC my heart desires, as long as I can install it. I actually like that Steam thing.

Those "CD/DVD required in drive" games are the ones that piss me off the most.

A decent DRM would be lower the prices of retail games a bit and give freebies to players that register their original copies, kind of like Nintendo does with their stars catalog.

You buy a new game, you get points that you can redeem for something later. Works for me.

Good read, homes. Glad to see you had success. More people should post their stories.

Superb Joe is the man in charge.

Amazing, all I can say. Those development shots really show the labor you went through.

I'm hoping you have success.

I liked to dive into the void, hitting the ground head-first from a great distance.

I could spend hours going up slopes, reaching to the ledges, setting up the dive, and make Lara taste the rock/grass.

LOVED IT!

That alone gave me great satisfaction and amused me for hours. I never completed a single level of Tomb Raider because of it.

I want to revive the same feeling. Will I have it?

Spunk? SPUNK?! SPUNK?
HM... I kinda wish it is renamed. Spunk is weird... Why not Sponk?
Spunk reminds me of Sigvatr__

OMFG...

Looks good, though.

For a moment I was expecting to see GM Script thrown into the bag. No curly braces there too. But that's not a programing language.

You'll get used to them too, Paul. Their sleek curves will entice you.

Looks solid, but the graphics could be a wee bit better, though there's still time. You could add windows in the corridor, looking out to the background and some scenery in the walls. The bullets were weird, though. What is supposed to fire them?

In this line of work you have to show something.

Simulate (or even repeat) the voice over of a trailer, the announcement before a wrestling/boxing match. Or even, read the text on some game's trailers. Like Avernum, or something.

Those are the so called "false friends" that create very common mistakes.

That was unnecessary.

No, it was necessary. A "false friend" is a set of words similar in the languages being worked on that the translator falsely assumes the meaning is the same.

EDIT: Here, for your perusal.

Not related to yourself or the post.

Sad, sad day...

Oh well, life carries on.

Kudos for your work. Game is amazing. And a nice tribute to indie to boot.

You should have a badge of awesome.

"Começar/resumir transferência"
"diretorias"
This is not correct in european portuguese.

"resumir" doesn't even make sense (should be "continuar") and "diretorias" are "diretórios".

Agreed. Also if you're making a game solo, in 90% of the cases you do need a design doc or concept art or shit like that. Basically cut out everything that separates you from making the game.

"do need" or don't need?

Got me confused, there.

He's designing a game that you can't possibly win. What's the point in playing?

I have the image of one episode of Stargate, where T'ealc is trapped in a simulator with a condition he can't win and gives up.

What does this help? I would like to know because I've already done this part.

Making yourself pursuing an objective to it's conclusion, making concessions along the way in order to make it final is a grand thing in and by itself.

Mostly, I waste time and a whole lot of will with the graphical part. When I feel unable to continue, I press the reset switch. I like tinkering with code. Art is a concept I'm completely unable to relate to. Color theory is something I don't think I'll ever master, nor the way of the pixel.

Having finalized something, my objectives are more linear and my work gets more serialized.

I have returned to a project that I've halted after concluding my crappy game (made for the christmas compo that I didn't release), and I'm now more focused because the goal is less generic. I made myself stand still, look at things closer and actually LEARN. I then released it in the game engines' forum. I knew it was bad, but what the hell. I sent it to another compo, anyway. The rush I felt at that time was great.

Well, my take on the subject. Not in any way a truism. Results may vary, of course.

Y you would no dev to Vita?
