As always, super nice! 🤩

The more physics-based character controllers I write, the more I lean towards the notion that 99% of issues are solved by it being just a rolling sphere collider that has forces pushing it and the visuals are context-aligned inside it. 🤔

Using DOTween? 🤩

Let's have a call!

Alternatively, it's somehow easier to convince someone to acquire a company of like 50 people than it is to get additional headcount for 50 people.

If you ask for 1 person, that won't be taken seriously and will be rounded down to zero.

Advice (that actually works) when submitting for headcount in a mega-corporation of thousands of people:

- Count the amount of people you want to hire and multiply by 3.
- Submit that number.
- C Level & Finance will auto cut any headcount number to 1/3.
- You will get exactly what you need. 😎

Here we go...

Heh, that is IF you get the chance to clean-slate it. IMO, non-tech stakeholders are massively against doing this.

"Why do you need to start from scratch? Just build on top of the prototype; we have to move fast!!!!!" and then they get aggro when the prototype tech debt starts to create problems. 😄

Submitting and fixing jiras live. 😎

But there would be a ton of value of sharing info to other developers about various workflows of gyms and zoos! :)

I feel like this is something @rystorm.com would do..

Video Podcast Idea: Gamedevs show off their internal asset zoos/dev gyms and narrate them like David Attenborough.

Sad to see people calling out Australia for this; the country is trying to reduce frustration & stress in the next generation of game artists and non-programmers! 😄

It's been a while since Giotto made an appearance here.

Oh wowww, all the best wherever you end up! Thanks for all the chats! 😁

Secured tickets to see System Of A Down. My childhood gateway band into heavy music; but somehow had never seen them live before!

Openly pitching a revolutionary new industry: Landlords but they are not assholes.

Lots of really tasty UX improvements in this release! 🤩

My wife has never seen the trilogy (but she lived in New Zealand!). She got to the Hobbits arriving in Rivendell then asked "How much more do they have to walk? They must be near the end." 🫠

Unfortunately, don't think we made it to The Kick(™️) 😢

This happens so incredibly often, but you rarely hear about it in public. The amount of institutional knowledge that is readily walked out the door, with a severance package in hand, is incredible.

Which is why you also sometimes hear of folks being re-hired as contractors. A very expensive mistake

Wow, this looks super neat!!

Phenomenal album (and band)!

Finally saw them live earlier this year. 🤩

That is true! If making a game that needs something like Nanite. 😄

Also adding, many game studios are now wanting to 'own' as much of their tech as possible so they don't get rug-pulled by an engine's sudden change (IE: Runtime Fee). 😄

State of Play presents a 007 First Light deep dive on September 3

Get ready for over 30 minutes of new gameplay. Full details: play.st/4oZz9DQ
