I have indeed (I went exploring pretty quickly ). I've posted there already asking how to fix my first stupid (admittedly very minor) mistake as a mod

Why do people write:



And not:



?

The former makes no sense to me. int* and int& are both types, the asterisk and ambersand should be part of the type declaration.

I write it the first way. Yeah, I agree it makes no sense, but VC++ wants it that way. I've just always done it like that.

EDIT: Argh... my leg is aching so much! I hate that brushcutter with a passion. Time to get some sleep and make a fresh start tomorrow, me thinks... also give other people a chance to post instead of me

To actually answer the question, Exotreve is a Sega Genesis game I've been occasionally working on for the past couple of years. At the moment, I'm focusing on something else I'm doing with Unreal Engine 4.

As much as I fell in love with Unreal Engine 4, I definitely still prefer Unity, if for no other reason than the Web Player. Also, scripting in C# is pretty flippin' cool!

It's too bad a pro license is $1.5k, though...

Guys, I'm so torn. This happens about 4 times a year...

For a couple of months, I just KNOW that I want to spend all of my free time programming and making a cool game, and becoming a relatively well-known game maker. Then I lose motivation, and I just KNOW that I want to spend all of my free time writing screenplays and making films for a living. Then I realize that I can't possibly fit that into my finances and don't really have a shot until I buy more gear, which will take a pretty long time... so then I go back to just KNOWING that I want to spend my free time developing games, and so on and so on...

It's a circle that's been going round and round for the better part of a decade, and is EXACTLY why I haven't gone to school - because if I choose one and then get halfway through only to want to switch, it would cost "hella cash" and I'd hate myself forever. Also, America's financial aid system hates me and my family for whatever reason, as I've been denied EVERY YEAR SINCE I WAS 17.

However, I think I know how I can successfully do BOTH of these hobbies together, and make them into a hybrid career.

If I start a multimedia "company", one that produces videos/films and games, and they were both entertaining, it could be a pretty interesting thing. I know it would be difficult, but luckily I know a lot of talented people who would be able to help and I may even eventually be able to pay! I'm also only two people away from personally meeting George Lucas, so that could even be beneficial. How, you ask? I know one of the make-up artists who helped prototype some stuff for "The Phantom Menace" back in the '90s. He didn't personally meet George Lucas, but the person he worked with did.

I don't know. I'd love to pursue both movies and games as a career, as they both have had integral parts in making me who I am. Arguably, games can be more entertaining and more educational, but certain movies can have the same effect. Both take a lot of work and commitment.

I think it's doable, provided I get the proper help.

Yeah, I was talking to somebody, and I misinterpreted something they said as being a life changing, very bad thing. I began to black out, I went into shock, and fainted. But I am okay now. Mostly.

Nice, that happened only 20 miles from where I live. Just a random little fact.

Yeah, it's a great song. As soon as you take out the lyrics though, it becomes quite haunting. It's pretty amazing how much of effect it has on the song, definitely recommend finding the instrumental and listening after hearing you've heard the original. As for the video, they got the frantic effect by shooting in half-time and doubling the speed, which came out pretty cool.

I figured out a very simple way in Unity to create an object that looks like it's hovering, perfect for those collectible items!



I use it for both a "Checkpoint" object, and the gems I'm making available. Works like a charm, and looks awesome!

EDIT: Sig and avatar test

EDIT #2: Should be better now...

They are rolled in pastry, the combination is truly a Gods blessing, it is the greatest kind of ecstasy that I could introduce to my mouth! And I'm not too good with foods but I think they're made out of meat that you would usually find in a sausage. So yes.

I think they're pretty much non-existent in America, at least that is what my sources tell me. So if you're from that continent than good luck looking for some, and if you do find some then they'll probably be cheap quality. ;_;

Ah, I guessed as much.

Also, oops. Forgot to save before I did something stupid that froze GIMP. Yayyyyyy.

Also also, Chrome apparently has some serious memory leaks. This is the second time in two weeks that I have caught it using 3 gigabytes of RAM for two open tabs; one being TGC, and the other being one just like it.
