Re: What code editor do you use ?

You mean you guys seriously aren't using CodeLobster with Ph4ntomWizzard1987's patched crustaceanlib.dll which adds luajit support? Are you living under a rock or something?

Re: Vacant Kingdom - A Bullet Hell Action-RPG

Shru I'd be scared to invest *weeks* in music *theory*. Ended up going with old public domain music for mine. I still don't know how so many devs find the time to essentially create *all* their assets from scratch. What was the music work like? Well, I've put a lot of other aspects of my life on ho...

Re: Vacant Kingdom - A Bullet Hell Action-RPG

Thanks, you two! It's just me who worked on it. The engine, art, story, and audio. Some aspects were definitely pretty far out of my comfort zone; like basically all of the music theory I know I learned last December when I sat down and wrote all of the music for the game over the course of a couple...

Vacant Kingdom - A Bullet Hell Action-RPG

Hiya gamers and gamettes! For the past ~1.5 years I've been working hard on Vacant Kingdom, and I'm finally ready to release the first chapter of it, which I'm calling "Prologue For A Vacant Kingdom". If you frequent the Discord, there's a good chance you've seen this already, but I figure...

Re: Performance - what are your standards?

I'll elaborate on what ivan said a little bit. You shouldn't care so much about your framerate, the more important metric is frame time. Consider a scenario where you're running your game without vertical sync on a 60Hz monitor and your FPS is 300. That's 240 frames of headroom, right? Not exactly, ...

Re: May love2d planned move to github?

Spinning "[Microsoft-owned] GitHub started offering unlimited free private repositories" as an "evil" or "malicious" act is incoherent and should be unconvincing to anyone who doesn't operate with the presupposition that everything Michaelsoft does is necessarily of nef...

Re: How to treat analog movement as a button press?

I'll point out that there are various input libraries which can handle analog inputs this way, in addition to solving other common input issues. I'd take a look at baton and maybe even my own otokonokontroller.

Re: How can I store cool levels and sweet resources cozily

I personally think it's well worth the effort of writing an in-engine level editor. Specifically, the editor should operate by letting you place and manipulate entities inside a frozen game instance. Then, your level editor's format should ideally be the result of looping through each game entity an...

Re: Need ideeas for a game!

i think the best way to make a game is to focus on the USSR and then put the story according to what is most conducive towards inspiring immediate global proletariat revolution.

Just wanted to take the time to thank you for the example code.
