Allowing housing to be investments means that ultimately housing will always be priced above what new people at regular wages can afford If the system isnt stabilized around Percentile X wages can purchase Y house, its dynamically unstable

{} I mostly prefer FSMs / UAI, but BTs make things like forest creatures & other trivial NPCs super easy to write For Stranger's Wrath, the designers could turn on Jobs to keep the NPCs doing interesting things, but I didnt plan through a set of jobs for a result

I wish! I wanted an excuse to use a planner in a project Literally looking at them now for a prototype because Ive wanted to use them so long Generally game AI went: x) Mostly if/then bespoke x) FSMs x) BTs x) Utility AI The last 3 are cousins really where each is stronger in some aspect {cont}

Almost noone uses a fear style goal oriented planner for their AI Im sure someone has, but its really rare

Is there a reason to not use a rough A* to calculate the rough distance to 'nearest <need>', which will then handle any dynamic environment changes As Im sure you know, hiding latency in AI is super easy, and on the web, webworkers as their own threads could also offload their path planning

Nice! I have some little things that Id like to maybe polish up and sell cheaply. Id love to just release them, but alas, money has been incredibly tight

Unity filled a niche that clearly needed to be filled, but also.. had well discussed issues Godot is taking a well deserved step into the same space. Theyre pragmatic & open. Its really nice to see it get recognition One thing I liked from Unity was that it has space for folks to sell plugins

And of course, a huge congrats!

Ive never known why authors need proof then theyre the ones that literally wrote the book; they know it exists

{}while nowadays theres just so many little things to mess with even for the simple options Additionally, the mere fact of having many options is tiring just by itself. And when one is new, they dont know what they can ignore, s ironically everything is just telling you 100s of things

JS + Canvas, moving to JS + WGPU SDL is solid and has tons of bindings The c64 didnt have graphics calls built in, which meant finding or writing them; nowadays theres tons of options for new programmers But, to the spirit of what youre saying, every piece on the c64 was straight forward{cont}

Also, its not I mean, after the last major shift Ugh, Just etymology sniped myself. Now Im wondering where it come from in the first place Clearly has nothing to do with 'good squads' and similar uses

I wonder if the meaning is drifting a bit

They need _so many_ tweakable variables Its useful to play with nonlinear both on angle and on distance, often multiple curves for each One genius thing the Gamecube controller design did was the built in octagon for the principal points (or principal winds, I had to look that up)

Also, there are a TON of perspective correct values that are interpolated from each vert nowadays, not just colors Tangent basis for shading, fog, shadow map info, etc I liked using darkening the verts in water by depth which made the water look volumetric

Both What kind of game? Well done screen shake adds a lot while overuse ruins it

Its valuable to get people to deliberately play in a closer to 50/50 situation

I still wonder if socially a 'Difficulty' level wouldnt work Easy to program in a lot of different ways like just HP: -10%*diff_level and similar But the real trick is getting bragging going about being N levels above someone else and still winning Go having that is really awesome {cont}

Is it just me, or is the spelling of 'deities' pleasant? The ei / ie reflection around the t, broken up slightly by the endcap d & s since pure symmetry can be monotonous

Sounds frankly boring and well adjusted compared to most deities
