Just a quick recommendation for the person asking about learning c++. Any gamer interested in learning to program computers should look into autohotkey and use scite for autohotkey as the editor for your scripts (both are free). Autohotkey was instrumental in my learning to program because it gave me the opportunity to make programs that interact with the games I play helping to make it easier for me to play the games in a way that isn't...

One question please. Are you devoting any real play testing time to discovering methods of griefing so that you avoid as much of it as possible before you "release" the game? In a lot of games this type of testing is fluffed over and left for the players to report and troubleshoot leaving some players frustrated for having to do the game companies job. I haven't played in a long time but I plan on coming back once you have a final product and it would help me if...

Portal Knights was fun I really enjoyed it but for me it really has no immediate replay value unless I wait like a year. The game was well worth the money and had no notable game breaking bugs. I'd recommend it to anyone. How does multiplayer work in that game? I never tried it. For me the next thing i'll put my heart into is fallout 76. I really like what I have seen from the 3 hour promo vids where they let you tubers and online game mags come play in...

I would like to see total transparency in the form of being able to see exactly what data is being sent, when data is being sent and exactly where it is sent to as well as an explanation as to how each byte of data is used. Every byte of data sent should be explainable in an easy to understand report to make sure data is not gathered from outside the game itself. I would be more inclined to leave the option on to help if I could double check the data and...

I don't think it's taking it too far at all, first impressions carry a lot of weight and when enough people give a game a thumbs down and the game turns to mixed or mostly negative most people ignore the fluffy ads and pass without even giving the game a try. I know I and most of my friends don't even bother looking at games once they get to mixed reaction because there are just so many games with very positive and mostly positive ratings. I think game...

Why is it some people call everyone who disagrees with them a troll? Just because you get mad doesn't mean they are trolling. Divergent opinions are important to progress. Galileo was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1633 because he had a divergent opinion that turned out to be correct. Let's not throw back to those days when differing opinions were not tolerated. This is my helpful tip to you, don't take the opinions of someone else as a personal...

I just asked a question, was it on a PvP server? Does the game programming allow people to be killed while they are offline on that server? If the answer to either of those questions is yes then maybe instead of pontificating you could ask the devs how they planned for avoiding this type of event. I've always thought it was silly to be able to kill a players character while they are offline and the devs assured me the game was planned that way when I brought it...
