StartingOut

Starting out at game development knowing very little whilst juggling an unrelated full time job. Hoping I can learn something on the way from an ace community

@BlindflugStudio I really like the aesthetic - really intrigued by the concept!

[StartingOut @gamecodingnoob]

@GreyAlien Merry Christmas! Thank you for your insightful posts and being a great ambassador for the gamedev community. All the best for 2023!

@Chris_Hill321 @OctopusEnergy Partially mitigated given its 10 week average on your energy use? Can their analytics spot this exploit and not offer you opt in? It does undermine your green credentials though if you're deliberately looking to benefit from peak energy usage 😆 Right to call it out though

@xiotex Limited run of a handmade game that you can't buy anywhere else? I'd go high. £50 +

Sign it/ include a handwritten note etc.

It will probably only appeal to collectors at present.

I'm up to date on #StrangerThings4 , #TheBoys and #ObiWan - What do I watch now?!

@Ontheotherhand That's great to hear an ideal scenario. Especially if that excess generation is providing clean power to others somewhere down the line.

Our challenge in the UK I reckon, comparatively to the US, is smaller houses and therefore smaller surfaces for panels.

[StartingOut @gamecodingnoob]

Green energy friends, is there a good and inexpensive way to measure the suitability of areas in your garden for Solar Panels? We're mulling over two locations for an outbuilding in the future and suitability for solar panels may be a factor #solarenergy #solarpanels

[StartingOut @gamecodingnoob]

@Ontheotherhand It would be to store electricity for use overnight. The size of our potential array and limited payment for feeding to the grid means we wouldn't necessarily offset nightime use with grid payments - if I've understood it correctly.

[StartingOut @gamecodingnoob]

@Ontheotherhand Woah, that's impressive. Looking at your generation for one month alone that would *checks notes* power my house for 100 days 🤣

Given our relatively small usage, we'd need battery storage/ an EV to get maximum value

[StartingOut @gamecodingnoob]

@IndeverGames Completely get it, same here but for Android 👍🏻

All the best for the iOS demo 😀

[StartingOut @gamecodingnoob]

@IndeverGames This is giving off vibes of the Unity HDRP test scene 😂

[StartingOut @gamecodingnoob]

@Ontheotherhand Good shout, definitely an option. I suppose one of the challenges is that it's all hypothetical at present.

How are you finding your #solarpanels?

[StartingOut @gamecodingnoob]

@xiotex Is that poutine?! If so, great choice. It doesn't seem really available in the UK

[StartingOut @gamecodingnoob]

@Beavs Ahh, such great memories. I adored these books. What a rich, interesting world full of amazing characters. The Long Patrol remains one of my favourites with the fighting hares of Salamandastron

[StartingOut @gamecodingnoob]

Concerning Hobbits is definitely up there when thinking about movie soundtracks. LoTR in general is great background listening when needing to concentrate or daydreaming you're in the shire/galavanting across Middle Earth.

@GreyAlien We noticed this recently. Originally on BT at 75mbs. Switched to Virgin and a year or so later when browsing deals BT would only guarantee... 3mbs! Must be congestion at local exchange or something, as the first speed was pre COVID work from home explosion.

@IndeverGames Looking great! Was the animation done entirely within Unity?

[Ben @IndeverGames @IndeverGames]

My free iOS game is live! An interactive farm I made for my 2 year old.
