If I put unicorns in my game it'll make it too soft, so what if you eat unicorns in the game, then it's too mean.. no happy medium! #gamedev

So this is "Faster" for Atari Jaguar - a conversion of my existing Atari STE game.

Lots of work to be done, but this is much closer to the game I would have created without the hardware constraints imposed by the STE.

Watch until the video reaches night for the cool effects. 😀

脸书创始人扎克伯格靠把全球几十亿人的照片和社交关系搬上网赚得盆满钵满，可轮到保护自家隐私时，这位千亿富豪的操作却把整条街的邻居逼疯了。

2011年他花700万美元在硅谷帕洛阿尔托新月公园买了主宅。没多久听说开发商想买下隔壁两层楼，还打算打出能从二楼阳台俯瞰扎克伯格游泳的广告，高价卖给狂热粉丝。

小扎吓出一身冷汗，随后两年直接砸下超过5000万美元，溢价几倍买断四周4栋独栋豪宅。买完叫来挖掘机全部推平重建，特意压低新房层高，封掉朝向主宅的二楼窗户，改朝外街，硬生生围出一圈防窥缓冲墙。

更让邻居崩溃的是，他又把五块地连起来，在地下修起庞大的地下室和私人学校，重型卡车和电钻在富人街连续轰鸣了11年。私人保镖还24小时开着不熄火的SUV守在人行道边，邻居牵狗经过都要被举起摄像头贴脸录像。

📺On November 11, 1960, CBS aired ‘The Twilight Zone’ episode ‘Eye of the Beholder,’ in which a woman lying in a hospital bed with her head wrapped in bandages awaits the outcome of her 11th and final state-approved surgery, a last-ditch attempt to make her look ‘normal’ in a society that demands conformity in appearance.

Written by Rod Serling, the episode featured Donna Douglas as the unmasked Janet Tyler and is widely regarded as one of the series’ best episodes

Midwinter 1 enhanced v1.2 is here, an updated version with a bunch of fixes, and it runs great. Links in the first reply, hope you like it. Promo video speech done by the speech program on ST Format issue 14 (side B).

Good morning gang. I spotted some incredible procedural foliage on the morning walk

Runs at about 500FPS on a 32 year old MPU (meat processing unit)

It must be using CLOD as these are many yottabytes of meshes

MPU continuously samples ray traced light data. Infinite bounces

めちゃくちゃ治安が悪い国に行くのは注意するのに、めちゃくちゃ治安が悪い国から大量に人が入ってくることはOKって、意味が分からない。治安って、人なんだが。

人間の脳は信頼できる他者に常にアクセスできる状態で標準に機能するように出来ていて、つまり社会的孤立・孤独の状態だと発生してない脅威や不安に対して過敏になりがちで余計なリソースを食う分、前頭葉(柔軟性や創造性)の働きが弱まって回避行動や習慣の反復が優位になるということなんだけど、

I cleaned up the Release page of Spartan Engine so it's not an unreadable wall of text anymore.

[Ray @raysan5]

today raylib received a BATCH of +10 AI generated Issues in one go, long blocks of text to be read, understood, analized and implemented.

Really, how can I deal with this? It seems the faster way to kill an OSS project. I want to be paid for even read those issues.

[Ray @raysan5]

Long time ago I took the decision to work in a handmade way, I just enjoy working and learning that way.

But many developers always preferred to use modern engines and latest technologies to accelerate product development because they had different priorities. Perfectly understandable.

What seems weird to me is that some of those developers now critizise latest technologies and support that "handmade development" while never really embraced it in their careers.

What's a game that was insanely hard (borderline impossible) but you went back to it and tried over and over again?

My arch-nemesis was Ghosts 'n Goblins. We played the absolute crap out of it, and it was incredibly unforgiving.

What was your love/hate-relationship game?

You have to do different things to get different outcomes....and no one wants to be different.

[Claire Rogers @GuiltyDogVR]

And there was a human cost.

As commercial engines took over, those of us who specialised in writing game engines found it increasingly difficult to get work doing what we loved.

Our jobs weren't immune to technological change.

But back then, we were told that it was progress.

As someone who's spent 30 years writing game engines, I'm confused by all the outrage over #AISlop.

Where were you all when Unity and Unreal unleashed #EngineSlop on the world?

You're not a REAL game developer unless you write your own engine! 😉

See how ridiculous that sounds?

Don't mind me - I'm just DOING THE MATH with a new and exciting port of Faster to a 64 BIT platform.

No, I can't tell you if the cars will have headlights during the night phase. But don't those real-time scaled roadside sprites (enlarged from the ST version) look just divine?
