    What is the best way to learn back-end server technologies?

    Posted: 21 Feb 2019 10:35 AM PST

    I'm currently working as a front-end developer at a web agency. I don't have any complaints about my job, but I know it's not my end-goal. My end goal is to adventure back into the games industry as a network engineer. I have a BA in Video Game Design and a passion for understanding network architecture that allow online games to work.

    ​

    The problem is, it's still unclear to me where to even begin research.

    Is this something I can learn in online courses?

    How do I make projects to practice these things?

    ​

    I understand that each project is unique and requires a unique solution, but I would love to get an understanding of what it takes and what technologies to learn.

    ​

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Develop cross-platform candy crush game

    Posted: 21 Feb 2019 12:01 PM PST

    How I can develop a game like Candy Crush with multiplayer ability, ex. group of rooms and player select one and join room , but the users in room can't start playing until room is full , the other thing in the room each player play with seven players max , that's mean players will be devided to couples and the winner from first couple will play with winner from second couple and so on , each match will be limited time, so there will be tow players in final and one can be the winner on room ,so how I can develop it across platforms (Android, iOS)? What is the best choice to do that, Unity or what?

    List in order:

    #1. Ken Sugimori Draws Pulseman from Pulseman:

    #3. Hironobu Yoshida Draws Dori Kururi (Jill) from Drill Dozer:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dn7oZP0-M0Q

    Interesting tidbits:

    In #3, Yoshida seems to be drawing Jill as if it's a Pokémon Trainer for Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire, given that the game and character are from the GBA era.

    Technical challenges updating completed games?

    Posted: 21 Feb 2019 10:13 AM PST

    I was reading some old comments about building engines on top of hardware abstraction layers. I think /u/3fox has some great points, and I'm curious how this part panned out for other people:

    And then when you want to do something with it later - a port, a rerelease - you do end up maintaining it. And then, whatever your dependencies were, you have to hope that nothing changed enough that you have to fix it. So even if the project is supposed to be done, released, and dead, if you want to load it up again many years from now, something will likely have changed that broke it.

    I'd expect three levels of pain:

    • most if you do everything yourself (lots of code that may rely on undocumented/changed behavior)
    • less if you use a framework (less of your code and hopefully it adds support for platforms without introducing new bugs to work around)
    • less but different pain if you use an engine (even less of your code, but rely on their data model -- things are updated for you, but maybe not updated in the way you expect/want).

    If you have a game that you shipped and after some time you tried to update it, how was your experience? How much pain did you go through upgrading your hardware abstraction layer (SDL, Kha, or third-party game engine) and dealing with knock-ons? Did it require changing much about your game itself or just the systems layer?

    How was One Hand Clapping Audio Input made?

    Posted: 21 Feb 2019 11:41 AM PST

    Hey guys , so some time ago I stumbled upon a beautifull game called One Hand Clapping , can see game trailer here

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7i5UtkyBLE

    I was wondering how was the audio Input for the player to play achieved? how did they made audio interact with 2D sprites? based on pitch with shaders?

    ​

    I've searched about audio visualization , but haven't found much involving sprites , I would appreciate clarifications , thanks and have a good one.

    Looking for some advice

    Posted: 21 Feb 2019 11:18 AM PST

    Some friends and i are trying to make a mobile game, it'd oging to be a sort of pet care/minigames game. I'm a cs student on his last year.

    I was wondering what kind of software would be best for the game i have 0 experience on gamedev and this is also me learning while working on it.

    Some of th eoptions i've considered are unity and clickteam but i don't know which would be best.

    One of our friendss it's sort of the capitalist of the group so don't worry about if it's got a licence or not as the most important thing is ease to learn/use.

    UE4 4.22 adds a plugin for multi-user networked map editing?

    Posted: 20 Feb 2019 08:06 PM PST

    Didn't see this mentioned explicitly in the changelog, but just found it:

    https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/tree/4.22/Engine/Plugins/Developer/Concert

    (Epic account linked with Github required to view, instructions here: https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/ue4-on-github )

    Has anyone tried it out?

    edit:

    Here's a list of all the new plugins, fwiw:

    ((find . -name '*uplugin' | grep -o '[^/]*$'; find /mnt/c/git/422_worktree/Engine/Plugins/ -name '*uplugin' | grep -o '[^/]*$' ) | sort | uniq -u ; find /mnt/c/git/422_worktree/Engine/Plugins/ -name '*uplugin' | grep -o '[^/]*$') | sort | uniq -d ADOSupport.uplugin AnimationBudgetAllocator.uplugin AnimationSharing.uplugin BlastPlugin.uplugin ChaosCloth.uplugin ChaosNiagara.uplugin ChaosSolverPlugin.uplugin ConcertFrontend.uplugin ConcertMain.uplugin ConcertSyncClient.uplugin ConcertSyncCore.uplugin ConcertSyncServer.uplugin ConcertSyncTest.uplugin DatabaseSupport.uplugin FieldSystemPlugin.uplugin LiveLinkCurveDebugUI.uplugin MagicLeapCamera.uplugin MaterialAnalyzer.uplugin OpenColorIO.uplugin PointCloud.uplugin RemoteDatabaseSupport.uplugin SQLiteCore.uplugin SQLiteSupport.uplugin SkeletalReduction.uplugin Spatialization.uplugin Takes.uplugin TimeSynth.uplugin VirtualProductionUtilities.uplugin

    edit2:

    The multi-user level editor Concert plugin seems to have a good bit of code dealing with VR support.

    Any professional non-game developers that made the switch to working at a AAA games company?

    Posted: 21 Feb 2019 08:39 AM PST

    I'm looking for any experiences or advice from people who had experience in professional development unrelated to games, and made the jump into the games industry. Right now I'm working as a primarily backend Java developer on enterprise level web applications, but after a few years of being unsatisfied with just getting by I've decided to finally make the effort to try and work on my real passion: videogames

    Thing is, I doubt my current skillset translates directly: almost every gameplay programming job listing I see at AAA companies is asking for high level C++ knowledge, but I haven't written much more than a "Hello World" in that language since college. And while I've messed around with Unity and Godot to make little personal projects there's nothing I could call a complete or polished enough product to confidently put into a demo portfolio. So with these weaknesses in mind I'm curious what kind of skills or knowledge anyone in a similar position had to work on and what their experience switching domains and industries was like.

    Thanks!

    Should I write a marketing or team building article for my game's launch?

    Posted: 21 Feb 2019 07:55 AM PST

    I've been working on an game the past two years and am getting ready to launch it. I want to give something back to the community that has been so helpful. It's going to be a busy next few weeks for me. Which of these articles would you guys want to see most?

    ​

    1) Lessons learned marketing games

    2) Lessons learned building a team (finding people, hiring people, the finance side of it, project management etc.)

    3) Lessons learned testing my game

    ​

    Cheers!
