Back in the day, it was the original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) that got me hooked in playing video games. Obviously, the console is already very ancient in today's terms.
A lot of really nice games were released on the NES platform and it would be a shame if people cannot experience it. Luckily, a lot of people have developed an emulator so that you can play NES games on whatever gaming console you use.
In this article, I will share with you a very handy NES emulator in the form of the NESDS. The NesDS Emulator for the Nintendo 3DS is a NES emulator specifically designed for people who have a Nintendo 3DS.
Before you can install and launch the NesDS, however, you may need to have an R4 3DS card first. R4 3DS cards bypass the security checks of the Nintendo 3DS so that you can install games and homebrew applications on your 3DS.
If you want to install the NesDS emulator on your Nintendo 3DS console, you need to have the following things:
- Nintendo 3DS console
- R4 3DS card of your choosing
- A microSD card (I prefer the 32GB storage capacity so you can cram a lot of applications and games to it)
If you have these three things, then we shall get started in installing the NesDS emulator on your Nintendo 3DS portable gaming console. Here's how to install the NesDS:
- Download the official NesDS emulator from their official website.
- Copy all of the contents of the NesDS emulator on the root directory of your microSD card.
- Create a folder and name it "NES". Inside the NES folder, create two folders and name them "SAVES" and "ROMS". Make sure that they are all capitalized.
- Download your favorite NES game on the internet. Put your downloaded NES ROMs and put them inside the ROMS folder.
- Insert the microSD card into your R4 3DS card and plug it in your Nintendo 3DS.
- Power on your Nintendo 3DS and a prop stating if you want to install NesDS will appear. Click yes on the prompt and install the NesDS emulator on your console.
- Once done, just load up the game you want to play and you're done! If you save your games, the saved files will automatically be put in the SAVES folder.
It is that easy to install the NesDS emulator on your Nintendo 3DS. The most important thing to note is that you will need an R4 3DS card. Without an R4 3DS card, you will not be able to install the NesDS or any other homebrew application or games. You wouldn't want that, right?
There are many R4 3DS cards out there and if you're struggling to find which one works best for you, then I suggest you choose either the Gateway3DS or the Sky3DS as these are premium cards.
If you do not buy these premium cards, it is still okay. Just make sure that you will not fall for those fake R4 3DS cards out on the market.
You can now play NES games on your Nintendo 3DS. Install the NesDS emulator on your Nintendo 3DS today.

12 here, and the date today is 8 June 2012.
Around 2 years ago, I came as a 10 year old anonymous user trying to find everything I could of Call of Duty: World at War's Nazi Zombies. I decided to make an account one year ago from today so I had an account to comment on News Blogs, with the upcoming Modern Warfare 3 making news daily.
In one year, I've somehow made 5,182 contributions to this single Wiki, and I thank all of you. It's been a huge learning experience and all of you editors and chatters have taught me various things. A special thanks to KATANAGOD, Damac1214, Drkdragonz66, Diegox223, and PotatOS/W567123daniel for being awesome people, despite the wacky moments we've had together.

Down to earth, no frills and genuine people make up Atherton. The Manchester postcode is a double edged sword, with most locals not wanting it preferring to come under Bolton, bizarrely though Atherton is in Wigan Borough (!) most unpopular with locals I know !Answered on Jun 8 2010, Report content
I used to live there. Below average income levels, but not rough, no ethnic minorities, ageing population. Perfectly nice and safe, but not posh! Atherton, Leigh and Tyldesley are not run down, but very affordable housing.Answered on Sep 18 2010, Report content
I would suggest that you look at the local authorities' website or police.gov to see what the crime statistics etc for this area are. You can also look at the local tourist board website which gives you an up to date overview of the area. I would also visit the area and ask some locals.Answered on Jul 18 2011, Report content

Fashion; New Wheels in Town Set Styles and Sell Band-Aids
By WOODY HOCHSWENDER
Published: June 17, 1990
New waves of rolling people now weave in and out of traffic, adding speed and precariousness to city life, as well as flashes of fashion. They wear Rollerblades, a new generation of roller skate with a single row of polyurethane wheels that has transformed this archetypal urban pursuit.
The roller-blading phenomenon has given rise to clubs, newsletters and competitions all over the country. Can fashion be far behind?
For the most part, roller-bladers dress for action: knee pads and wrist guards for the occasional rendezvous with pavement; loose shorts and tank tops for uninhibited movement. Spandex tights and bicycle shorts combine a sleek silhouette with protection against nasty strawberries from spills. And, in an ensemble where they truly make sense, belt packs carry the essentials - cash, house keys and Band-Aids.
These innovations allow people like George Bingham, a former amateur hockey player and an expert roller-blader, to get a good aerobic workout while performing amazing stunts on concrete. Mr. Bingham, who works in real-estate financing for the French merchant bank Lepercq de Neuflize in New York, prefers stretch tights while roller skating. But he isn't above wearing tiger-print pants when ''shooting the duck,'' a one-legged squatting movement shown at the far left.
Roller zombies with a sense of style might try Marika's unitard bicycle short for women, which combines graphic zip and comfort in black-and-white spandex stripes. It can wake up the dead. It's available at Bloomingdale's.
If you want to stop traffic, Michele Lamy's harlequin bike short with black-and-white halter top, from Macy's, will do the trick. For a a pile-up, there's Romeo Gigli's little tie-front top, over John Richmond's pinstripe shorts, an ensemble sold at Carol Rollo/Riding High, on First Avenue at 63d Street. $360 for Racing Rollerblades Then, of course, there are the skates: A pair of Rollerblades costs from $95 to $360, for a specialized racing model, at Peck & Goodie, on Eighth Avenue between 54th and 55th Streets, one of two roller-dedicated shops in Manhattan; the other is Blades West, on 72d Street between Amsterdam and Columbus Avenues. Rollerblades is a registered trademark of Rollerblade Inc., a manufacturer in Minneapolis that controls the lion's share of the market.
Other companies like Ultra Wheels, Bauer and Roller Derby also make single-blade ''in-line'' skates, which can be found in sporting goods stores like Paragon and Herman's. The ski-boot-type construction of the skates gives better ankle support than traditional roller skates, and the single blades offer less road resistance and sharper turning ability.
Mr. Bingham said skaters who are proficient in ice hockey, figure skating or skiing can master the Rollerblades in about a week. Others may require a couple of weeks to move with confidence. Peck & Goodie provides free roller-skating clinics Saturday and Sunday mornings in Central Park (212-246-6123). Beginners should be sure to wear knee pads and wrist guards, which contain a hardened plastic splint that prevents you from barking your palm. These can be bought, or are sometimes included with the price of renting the skates.
One possible drawback is speed. Since there is less surface meeting the road, and thus less friction, stopping in the new skates can be a little tricky. Dave Cooper, the world distance single-blade skating champion, was recently given a traffic ticket in Detroit. He was rolling at 30 miles an hour in a 25 m.p.h. zone.

The VSK-50 is a sniper rifle based on the VSK-94.
Role in Ghost ReconEdit
The in-game VSK-94 is a 5 round sniper rifle that is similar to most silenced semi-auto sniper rifles in Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2. The in-game is almost visually similar to the real word counterpart. The actual weapon performance is much different as it has a 5 round clip and is accurate to infinite meters as opposed to 400 m. There are no real advantages to this weapon other than a silencer and distinction among online players.
The VSK-94 is a 9 mm silenced sniper rifle developed by the Russia KBP Instrument Design Bureau as a low-cost alternative to the VSS rifle. The rifle is based on the 9A-91 assault rifle. The VSK-94 was designed to accurately engage unarmored point targets at ranges up to 400 m.
The VSK-94 retains the gas-driven operating principle of the 9A-91 with a rotating bolt. The rifle features a stamped steel receiver, skeletonized polymer stock integrated with the pistol grip and a synthetic forearm. The rifle uses 9x39mm ammunition that consists of PAB-9 armor-piercing cartridge and the standard jacketed SP-5 and SP-6 rifle cartridges feeding from a 20-round detachable box magazine.

Hingle-USA Today Sports After the 2014 NFL Draft and a dip into the undrafted free-agent market, the New Orleans Saints are loaded with rookie talent. For the next few months, these newbies are going be playing their hearts out to earn a spot on the depth chart. With that said, let's go ahead and take a look at five rookies poised for a strong performance at training camp. 5. ILB Khairi Fortt Robert Hanashiro-USA Today Sports 5. ILB Khairi Fortt Robert Hanashiro-USA Today Sports Khairi Fortt, the Saints' fourth-round pick out of California will look to set a tempo in training camp from the get go. The inside linebacker spot held by David Hawthorne is a vulnerable position. Anybody would kill to play alongside Curtis Lofton in that starting front seven. Fortt has great size, speed and versatility; he moves like a safety. If he happens to outperform Hawthorne, he may see a significant amount of playing time in 2014. 4. RB Timothy Flanders Troy Taormina-USA Today Sports 4. RB Timothy Flanders Troy Taormina-USA Today Sports Flanders was an animal in Sam Houston State's rush attack. In 2013, he ran for 2,134 and 34 touchdowns-- both staggering numbers for a single season. His lack of top-end speed, small hands and inability to break tackles caused him to go undrafted, but he still looks to be a steal for the Saints. With a strong performance at training camp, Flanders may find himself on the depth chart behind Pierre Thomas, Mark Ingram and Khiry Robinson. 3. WR Brandon Coleman Kevin Jairaj-USA Today Sports 3. WR Brandon Coleman Kevin Jairaj-USA Today Sports Coleman went unpicked in the 2014 NFL Draft, which is a bit of a surprise. At 6-foot-6, the Saints found themselves an immediate red-zone threat in the undrafted rookie. Yes, the Saints are loaded with receivers, but after Marques Colston, Kenny Stills and Brandin Cooks, the fourth spot on the depth chart is up for grabs. 2. CB Stanley Jean-Baptiste Andrew Weber-USA Today Sports 2. CB Stanley Jean-Baptiste Andrew Weber-USA Today Sports Stanley Jean-Baptiste was a steal at the end of the second round. He is a dominant, hands-on guy that could evolve into a solid shutdown corner in the NFL. Like Richard Sherman, Jean-Baptiste stands at 6-foot-3 and is a wide receiver turned defensive back. I am not saying he will be as good as Sherman, but their backgrounds and measurables do compare. He will be a nice fit opposite Keenan Lewis, another tall, shutdown corner on the Saints. 1. WR Brandin Cooks Adam Hunger-USA Today Sports 1. WR Brandin Cooks Adam Hunger-USA Today Sports Anytime you affix a player with this much speed and athleticism into a high-powered offense, he is bound to find success. Brandin Cooks has the hands, explosiveness and quick feet to be a dominant target for Drew Brees. I see no reason why he won't shine in training camp. The Saints have a dangerous new toy to play with after taking the former Oregon State receiver in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft.

Good.. for a casual player. Nice game even though I find it hard to level up easily. And because of that, I always run out of stamina. It is also hard to get other Heroes without paying real money. Last thing, this is a rip-off of *Dot Arena.*

Sales – Getting Started & Next Steps
Purchase a Preowned Car Which is Affordable and Functional Because of the money related emergency that the world is encountering today, it is savvier to purchase preowned autos than new ones. If you are looking for a car that is functional and affordable but you have a limited budget then buying a used car is a practical way and you do not need to buy a brand new car if you can own a car with lesser amount but has the same capacity.

Actually, you need the most moderate car there is that is the reason you have drafted a financial plan.

Why Automobiles Aren't As Bad As You Think

A Quick Overlook of Automobiles – Your Cheatsheet
Things like the make, plan, model, and shading ought to just be auxiliary. Generally, it is essential to consider the capacity and the reasonableness of the car.
Valuable Lessons I've Learned About Sales
Advantages of Purchasing an Automobile From a Used Cars Dealer Buying from used vehicles dealers offers a number of advantages. Pre-owned vehicles are really fair. Annually, a vehicle depreciates by 15% from its initial cost. There are actually some cars that depreciate just as much as 20% or more. Brand new cars depreciate immediately they are driven off the dealer's lot. In its first year, the automobile cost is 20% from the initial worth. In the marketplace, it's possible that the dealer's used car cost might be 50% less in relation to the newest version, despite the pre-owned vehicle's current model year. Purchasing pre-owned vehicles ensure savings particularly if they are just few years of age, materially and mechanically in good shape. Also a high end auto, which is just a year of age, has a lower cost than its fresh counter-part.
5 Takeaways That I Learned About Automobiles
If your financial plan cannot afford to buy functionality automobiles fresh in the manufacturing companies, you nevertheless may own them for less, should you buy from used vehicles dealers. To handle the increasing consumer needs, dealerships nowadays offer certified used vehicles.
The Beginner's Guide to Dealers
The certified used vehicles have already been provided comprehensive mechanical and physical reviews. They have already been updated to be as close to the completely new cars as possible. To know a car is certified, you should make sure the automobile has the manufacturer's warrantee. Clearly, it's nonetheless prudent to check the vehicle to discover whether the automobile available is not stolen or doesn't have major damage. Even the big time dealerships get stung. You're also assured that pre-owned automobiles from dealers are significantly less than 5 years old, have traveled less than 80,000 miles, and include lending prices and road service. At times, the auto dealers provide maintenance solutions. If you buy from a certified used cars dealer, your safety is warranted, because the dealer is bound by national rules, and uses national regulations. Nevertheless, the pre-owned vehicle which you want still ought to be assessed online to find out about the buyer reviews, maker recalls and bluebook costs. You may also select a hired vehicle. These are pre-owned vehicles that are two and four years of age, and were driven by the vehicle dealer's clients who rent them. Under the rent, the owners must keep the mileage to the very least. They must also service the vehicle regularly. Often, the vehicle owners failed to service at the dealership where they purchased the car, to ensure maintenance reports will not be accessible from your car dealer. Some parts of the original lease contract might still exist. Some also have more warranties included. Used vehicles dealers permit you to do your own test of the pre owned automobile's roadworthy state. In fact, the sellers themselves encourage you to take out the car for a road test to check the conditions of the motors, the tires, the carburetor, the radiator, brake system and the air conditioner and heating system. Vehicle dealerships happen to be enhancing their programs for used vehicles. Used cars sellers will often offer you almost a brand-new car with numerous sensible alternatives at affordable cost. This makes purchasing a used car from a dealer a much safer buy than buying from a newspapers advert or an internet source.
A Quick Overlook of Cars – Your Cheatsheet
The Benefits Of Seeking Services From Kia Dealers Majority of the car dealers are often after making fast money and so they will do anything to make you buy a car once you show up at their place of work. This is not the case with kia dealers as they are normally concerned about their clients and they will try whatever it takes to make sure that you get to purchase a vehicle that you are satisfied with. In case you are purchasing a vehicle, especially for the first time, you will need an expert in the motor vehicle industry to give you advice on the things that you should or should not do to your vehicle. In the event that you buy from the particular sellers, you become part of their work family and therefore you can consult them whenever you have an issue related role the car that you purchased from them. Even though the small ones that offer the comfort and also the speed that is adequate are the most popular ones also due to the fact that they are economical, there are also other variety of sizes. From the vans that carry an attractively low price to the big ones that come at a huge price, there are a variety of vehicles to choose from. Essential to note is there are those car models that are suitable for people with families and especially when they want talk go for a vacation and there are also those that are only suitable for individual purposes such as a speeding competition and going for a road trip with a friend or two. Therefore, it is important as the buyer to first know your needs in terms of the car brand that you want and also the size of the car that you are looking for.

The Art of Mastering Automobiles
Things to Consider When Searching for a Kia Dealer for Used Cars Used cars are a great investment when you're planning to buy a vehicle. It is important that you speak with the right used car dealer. The search can become tough along the way but if you know what to look for, you will soon enjoy your car. If you're looking for a vehicle that is both economical and functional, then you might want to speak with a Kia dealer.
If You Think You Understand Dealers, Then Read This
A Quick Overlook of Automobiles – Your Cheatsheet
Kia has established a good name in the automotive industry due to its focus on these two aspects: economy and technology. The local offices and official website will give you a good number of vehicles to choose from so you can specifically point out which auto fits your preferences best. On the other hand, you can opt for the services of a Kia dealer who will help you search for the perfect car that you will enjoy. Before striking a deal for a car you want, there are crucial aspects you need to consider. First and foremost, do your homework. A used car dealer will most likely know everything about a brand that you're leaning on but it is still advisable that you have basic knowledge on the car of your choice. Familiarize yourself with the car's condition, features, and also price range. You should already have some knowledge about the vehicle that you prefer before you consult with a Kia dealer. This will save you and the dealer a lot of time. Once the car of your choice is right in front of you, start inspecting the vehicle for any possible damages. It is very important that you do this while you're still at the dealership. A reputable used car dealer will give you the permission to do so. Don't just inspect the vehicle. Make sure you have the chance to take it out of the dealership's territory for a test drive. If possible, take it with you to the highway so you can have a grasp of how it works, how smooth it runs, and how fast it goes. You need to make sure that the car has the power to take on high speeds, big turns, and sudden braking. On the other hand, always be careful when handling the vehicle. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask your Kia dealer. High-end technology is a very good aspect in used cars but quality is much more important at this point. As always don't sign a contract until you've read all pages, you've understood everything written, and you've discussed the terms and conditions with your used car dealer. Searching for used cars can sometimes be stressful but if you are armed with all the things you should know, you can easily track down a Kia dealer that will help you get the perfect car for you and your family.

About Dmytry
Dmytry posted a topic in Your AnnouncementsReleased to Early Access yesterday. I have to say developing this game felt so much harder than The Polynomial (the first). I don't know if it's me getting older or just the much larger complexity of the new game, probably a bit of both. Here's a trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EU0HHxiLxCQ Rambling note on the trailer: Trailers are a lot more work than you originally expect. First off I was trying to make a trailer by traditional means but in the end I ended up scripting it all in Lua and recording a replay of me killing some enemies for the first person segment (also using Lua, dumping controller state on every frame to a file). Used the engine as a sort of an indie low key source filmmaker. That turned out to be much easier than editing actual videos.
Dmytry replied to DragonBooster's topic in GDNet LoungeWith regards to gaming journalism: when you have something free to read and it talks about products and it has ads for said products on the sidebar, it doesn't take a Sherlock Holmes to figure out that perhaps it is somewhat less than unbiased source. Everyone understood that just fine. It's clear, it's in the open. There's nothing to 'gate here. We all know. It's not even particularly unfair, because it's predictable and a business transaction. And no, game journalists won't lie negatively about your game. However, some other people will. There's this phenomenon which is extremely dangerous to indie game developers: when you have 100 000 customers, and millions just walk-in-look-at-the-product-leave people, the absolute worst problem customers are very, very, very bad people. There's no other way to put it. (Within 100 000 of the general population, there's a handful of murderers, hundreds rapists, etc. When you look at the worst out of 100 000, it's very bad. You get an unexpected publicity boost, and with no exaggeration you're going to interact with the worst people you could possibly meet over several normal lifetimes. You will also interact with the best people, but you can't notice that so much, unfortunately!) So what emerged over the time is that there's this hate crowd - I don't know what's their problem but they're unemployed and sometimes mentally disturbed individuals who don't have much going on in their lives. And they spend far more time online than normal people do. And they will hate you. They're a very small percentage of your userbase, but they're very loud, and they emit a signal attracting more individuals of the same type, who aren't even your customers. They can't target everyone, they pick targets (who would be minorities[within game development], or troubled, or the like). So, some game developer got revenge-porned by an ex, and this damn crowd is on it, and the gaming journalism, this crowd doesn't care about it with the exception that they also hate anything that's good about game journalism - that the game journalism is generally on the game developer's side rather than on the hate crowd's side, that game journalists delete violent threats, etc (and which they do out of good will, irrespective of whenever you paid them or not). So what an indie game developer can do about it? I don't have much time right now but my understanding is that one has to stay away from the social media, and apparently, has to choose their exes as carefully as a movie star would. It's a difficult situation.
Dmytry replied to RLS0812's topic in GDNet LoungeI would get a lot of cheap motherboards and non top of the line CPUs, inside an Ikea cabinet. Something along these lines: http://duncsblog.com/2013/10/04/ikea-filing-cabinet-meets-supercomputer-meet-helmer-air/ But then, I mostly need distributed computing for 3d rendering and such - not a gaming rig by far.
Dmytry replied to Edgar Reynaldo's topic in GDNet Loungescore: 6, self employed, been procrastinating a fair bit lately instead of working, got enough cash anyway. Not on topic but: I recall reading that weight loss and insomina questions give bonus points to medications which cause weight gain and sleepiness (similar assessment scales get used in one or the other part of drug trial), and are responsible for a sizable fraction of the above-placebo response of anti-depressants.
Dmytry replied to frob's topic in GDNet LoungeIt is difficult to estimate actual impact on sales. Most of sales of my game (and most of the revenue) comes from discount sales (Steam Summer Sale events, etc), so it is clear there is a lot of people who would buy it for a reduced price but would not buy it at a full price. Note that these people *did* buy it at a reduced price - it is entirely false to say that those who wouldn't buy it at the full price were not willing to pay anything at all. It would seem that a huge fraction of pirates would pay something, like $1 .. $2 voluntarily, if they had to login with their credit card at all, and even bigger fraction would pay up if they only could obtain the game at a discount sale. And they don't, and so there is a very significant loss of revenue, easily well over 2x less revenue for indie games based on how discount sales seem to work on Steam. edit: Some gameplay alteration which goes public (like in that game), that's clever. Subtly broken gameplay (e.g. camera jitter) to punish pirates is ridiculous. It decreases the likelihood that friends of a pirate buy it, potential customers are reading pirate's reviews, etc.
Dmytry replied to radioteeth's topic in GDNet LoungeWell there's the issue that most experts online are amateurs... and a lot of expertise is made up / faked on spot. Goes for any forum really, and for real world as well (people good at faking expertise often get promoted). What is good about this forum is that besides this faker majority which is present everywhere, there's also plenty of people who actually know things they are talking about. Which is more than can be said about most places.
Dmytry replied to firstname.lastname@example.com's topic in GDNet LoungeI watched it some a while back... from what I remember it doesn't seem to represent independent professionals, as in, folks previously employed to make related software who nonetheless decide to go without a publisher. If you know how/what to do there's a lot less drama, you saved up some money, etc etc.
Dmytry replied to Kwizatz's topic in Math and PhysicsNot really pointing out an error in the first part, just explaining that what you originally wanted to do - concatenate sequence of SRT into a single SRT where S scales using a vector that represents scaling on different axes, is (technically speaking) impossible - you indeed need a full blown matrix here, or if you want to optimize a tiny bit, 3x3 matrix and translation. That's because sequence of R S R can produce scaling along the diagonal, which you can not represent with one S R T . (I am assuming matrices apply in left to right, i.e. directx order) edit:However if you are certain you only use non uniform scaling as the first transformation applied, then it can work. If U is uniform scaling and you only have S R T U R T U R T U R T .... sequence, then you're in the clear. Second is indeed providing with an optimization. In my software I have a class that does rotation using quaternion and translation using a vector, it works pretty much same from outside as a matrix. The reason I'm using that is not so much optimization as convenience when doing physics or especially when interpolating rotations between frames (which I do because I run physics at constant framerate). In your case I'd probably just convert to matrices then multiply those together, I'd probably use 3x3 matrices with translation rather than full blown 4x4 , basically, you assume the right column (or bottom row, depending to convention) is always 0 0 0 1 .
Dmytry replied to Kwizatz's topic in Math and PhysicsYou could have a transformation that rotates by 45 degrees, then scales the x axis by a half, then rotates back. This transformation can not be represented with scaling vector, it happens along an axis that is at 45 degrees. For the rotation and translation, your transform is like V'=rotation*V+translation and for two transforms, it is V'=rotation2*(rotation1*V+translation1)+translation2 or V'=rotation2*rotation1*V + rotation2 * translation1 + translation2 so you multiply your rotations and you add translations after multiplying the earlier translation by the later rotation. The multiplication by rotation here means rotating by a quaternion, i.e. represents Q*a*~Q where ~ is inverse.
Dmytry replied to MrJoshL's topic in Games Business and LawI sell through Steam, self-published. Yes, I would recommend starting a company for that, though I released when I ran out of money for forming a corporation, so I released it as an individual. I have the advantage of living in EU where frivolous lawsuits against individuals are easier and cheaper to get thrown out. I'm not sure anything I say is relevant to you as I am dealing with international taxation. In any case, it will not be very difficult but I'd recommend having an accountant so that you can apply for the deductions and the like. Valve will report from their end to the IRS, but you may need to report to the IRS as well. Re: analysis, yes, they'll look at your game and see if it is any good. Or that's how it was in 2010. Now they got greenlight, but they still review. Steam is a quality portal. And the advertisement slots you get depend to how well your game is doing. I got lucky to be spinning in the main banner rotation (on the Steam homepage) for a whole week plus on the holiday sales. Re: the warz, I was tad surprised at shitstorm. I guess it is some sort of stupid viral thing.
Dmytry replied to d000hg's topic in GDNet LoungeInvesting that reliably pays your bills without you having to work is when you end up owning some means of production that others need to do work. To make a small, easy to imagine example: imagine that I were so poor I could not afford a computer to program games on. Then you could invest into me, yourself owning the computer that I program games on, and take away all the revenue except for what you need to pay to keep me alive and working, which is very little. End result is that you are earning most of income from my work, and living off it. Computers are too cheap for this to work, and good programmers have leverage via their shortage, so the above scheme would not work. Industrial equipment, land, organizational structures, and so on, are expensive enough or hard enough to come by so that workers can not afford those and this scheme works.
Dmytry replied to ChaosEngine's topic in Games Business and Law[quote name='Sirisian' timestamp='1347688143' post='4980299'] [quote name='d000hg' timestamp='1347639252' post='4980105'] I don't see why they decided to give it to charity, or make a big deal over it - that smacks of insecurity and appeasement. I'd just say "we're introducing a $100 fee" and leave it at that. [/quote] To be fair they did. They said it was 100 dollars that would go to a charity and left it at that and haven't said a word about it again. Worked well. Right when it happened I noticed the games have gotten much higher in quality and the number of games has decreased drastically. [/quote] Yea. It did cut out all the trolling. I think $100 is perfectly reasonable. Yes, it is not perfect, to some $100 is less than to others. But look at it this way: The indie does not mean 'I never had a programming or graphics design job in my life'. Steam is a portal of high quality games. The Greenlight has to cut out trolling and all those idea noobs (who used to frequent this forum) - you know the type, I am the idea guy and I have enormously awesome MMORPG ideas worth billions and why the hell nobody would join me type of noobs. Those also have to be kept out. People are stupid enough to have utterly overinflated view on the value of their ideas when they don't have to spend $100; few are stupid enough to spend $100 though.
Dmytry replied to EngineProgrammer's topic in General and Gameplay Programming[quote name='phantom' timestamp='1345481424' post='4971539'] [quote name='EngineProgrammer' timestamp='1345429694' post='4971301'] Also, does someone have any tips for me I can use to create an efficient engine? [/quote] Yes; don't write an engine. Write a game, extract parts from it, reuse those parts in another game and repeat. In time the reusable parts will form an 'engine' as you become more experianced. Attempting to sit down and write an engine without a game to focus it will result in unusable junk which you will just end up re-writing as soon as you want to use it in any real sense. Lack of experiance making games will just make this problem even worse. EVERY good game engine out there has grown out of being used in a game (or series of games) first and then recycled. This is the only way to ensure you get something usable. [/quote] Exactly. Just make a game, with some re-usability in mind but don't over-sweat it if it gets in the way of getting game done (it shouldn't get in the way of getting things done anyhow). If you want to get a game done it may, in most cases, be better to use something like Ogre. On the timeframe, it can vary wildly with regards to what you want to do and how experienced and productive you are. Keep in mind that even old engines (Quake 2 for example) took a lot of manpower.
Dmytry replied to Mike Bossy's topic in GDNet Lounge[quote name='Hodgman' timestamp='1341897624' post='4957519'] Interesting... One reputable company that I worked for a few years back had just released a game on PSN and XBL, but was rejected from Steam. We were lucky enough to get an explanation, but all it said was "[i]this is not the type of game we want associated with our service[/i]"... [/quote] hmm what was the game? I didn't have any problem in 2010 publishing mine. Contacted 6 weeks before release, integrated some features, published, all went great.
Dmytry replied to Starfox's topic in General and Gameplay Programming[quote name='Koobazaur' timestamp='1341434216' post='4955730'] Dmytry, that's usually what I do in a clear owner->child type of a scenario, but it may not work in the aforementioned physics attachment system, since whatever function goes on updating all your objects would probably update the child already. Hence why i said, it depends on the nature of the relationship. [/quote] Ideally, the physics should work with 2 states: current that is read only and future that is write only; this helps to make use of multiple CPUs (by making the physics independent of the order of updating). It may be useful to separate e.g. AI updating from physics updating. Ahh, and also, if physics gets different values depending to the order (e.g. two masses connected by a spring, and result depends to which is updated first), that is rather bad and makes it difficult/impossible to ensure conservation of momentum (and energy).
