TROPHY CASE

Ideas by sortofagamedevin gamedev

[–]MattRix 1 point2 points ago

A couple years ago I made a game idea generator: http://struct.ca/game-idea-generator/

(well really it's more for coming up with game mechanics, but imho that's the best place to start for any game idea anyway).

Figured 5 years was a long enough time for an upgrade! by retnuh730in iphone

[–]MattRix 1 point2 points ago

A 4S is still a great phone and will be a great phone for years, no matter what the new one is...

re: the new one, my guesses: - slightly larger screen - faster + rammier - new mapping app - that's about it

I've had the privilege of seeing it twice now, and loved it both times.

Just so you know, the screening process for this film has been way faster and more accelerated than it is for most indie films like this... doing this whole screening thing is really the only way to get it into festivals and stuff like that. I really doubt that people will have lost interest.

ah yeah sorry about that, it's an issue in the iOS version too... I should really look into that :)

It should work but I haven't tried it myself. I know the Noodlecake guys have been testing it out on a TON of different devices.

I should point out that I didn't actually make SSG, but the guys that made SSG did this Android port of Trainyard for me. They're really cool guys.

yep, that's about it. I don't even have a way to transfer progress between iOS devices at this point... I'm gonna look into some stuff for the future, but I'm not really sure.

unfortunately most of my discussions with Noodlecake (who are awesome guys, btw) have centred around Trainyard, so I'm not sure what's going on with SSG... but I'm pretty sure it's still their most successful game, so I'm pretty sure there will be more content coming for it eventually.

Just posted a video of the iPad game we made this weekend at the Toronto Game Jam by MattRixin gamedev

tempting, but it'd have to have a lot more to it before we'd release it, I think.

ah sorry, missed this:

Basically just Cocos2D (Objective-C)... also used TexturePacker for the atlas creation, and TimelineFX to make the attack effects.

gotta ask: what's so bad about the commentary? I don't mind it myself.

iOS Multitasking: Stop Force Quitting Applications. by Chexjcin iphone

[–]MattRix 0 points1 point ago

For most people, it works great 100% of the time. For you, it's only less useful AFTER you've used a bunch of apps that you normally don't use, so like 90% of the time it works fine for you too.

The Town: Feedback? by muniinin gamedev

[–]MattRix 1 point2 points ago

Haven't had too much time to play the game yet, but before I forget, wanted to come here and mention the controls. Pressing up to go northeast just messes with my brain and feels super awkward and unintuitive. Why not use the same kind of controls that most isometrics games use, in other words: up+right to go northeast, down+right to go southeast, etc?

Ok even if we ignore the fact that most people don't have hundreds of apps (especially ones that they actually use on a daily basis), that still doesn't make sense. Put your most used apps on your home screen and they're still only a couple taps away.

MLS Power Rankings: Week 9 | MLSsoccer.com by lucasandrewin MLS

As a Toronto FC fan, I really can't complain :P

Well, ok, actually one small complaint: I wish the power rankings showed how many points each team has.
