Heeeeya welcome back! ^^ Congratulations for Electronics Engineering graduation and best wishes for your son! Everything is going well here I guess. And yes I'm still alive :D

Heya everybody!!! I haven't made any new topics recently :o Anyway... We're all surrounded by our "mental models" which we need to update/change time by time and since we're game developers, We need to do it more often :P So I have a few subjects about game development here for open discussion, I think every game developer has thought about them and has his/her own answers. So let's share! How to make a threat look real? Well in every game which has an actual story there is at least one threat that player wants to stop. The question is that, How to make it seem real? How can we show that there is a real danger (When there is actually no danger XD)? In such cases, I try to think as a player, I try to guess about what's going to happen next. Now as a game developer, I know what I should NOT put in the story. Another fact that I use is that human's nature considers unknowns as dangers, So whenever I feel like the player is about to learn too much about the threat, I try to disturb him/her with something else. Though it might disappoint the player at some point so I must be careful. Character development stereotypes, Yes or no? Almost everyone knows that characters shouldn't be too good or too bad (Mostly in story driven and third person games) But there are always some stereotypes, For example in many games the protagonist is young and attractive. Now some game developers try to break it. As a game developer I don't think it's a bad idea but as a player, It's a big problem in the game :P Seriously, I'm always less motivated to play these kind of games. It might be so silly but it's what a player thinks! So I'm not going to change these stereotypes in my game and I know many game developers don't agree- I want to hear you! Female characters are female! No it's not a question, Just a criticism to game developers who think female characters are male characters with boobs :| Or even worse, Those games that show female characters as weak creatures (Why there is no powerful female character in GTA V?!) Seriously, Try to make female characters a bit more female! They don't have the same abilities as men. They have their own advantages. As a great example, In one of Mortal Kombat games, There is a character named Sindel, She uses her hair to damage her rivals. Good/Bad/Real endings? I like to have more than one ending in the game, But I think it's better if they're all kinda "real" endings, Not good or bad ones. The endings should be different "possibilities" so each ending should have its own pros and cons. Not a fan of open-ended games. Well those are a few subjects that I could think of. Feel free to add more subject to make the discussion more interesting! Sorry for bad English, I tried my best ^^

Nice work! Keep it up!

Well since this topic is around one year old I don't mind updating my top 7. I'm sick of those songs now XD 1. Elastic Heart-Sia 2. Papaoutai-Stromae 3. Tous Les Memes-Stromae 4. Final Masquerade-Linkin Park 5. Take Me To Church-Hozier 6. Animals-Maroon 5 7. Zombie-The Cranberries (TOO OLD TOO AWESOME) There are more songs (Demons-Imagine Dragons, Lost In Echo-Linking Park, etc) But that's enough for today!

I found the answer after a quick search. It happens because you have changed the font (or the font size). Find this line (There are two copies of it, One of them is on line 1197 and another is on line 1241 I think): height += delta + (delta * 0.2).to_i Then increase 0.2 until you reach a fit window.

Lol of course I'm not going to cancel a game that I've been working on for more than 3 years :P I don't want to use the title screen script because it doesn't make my title screen look better, Actually it's so cool in the demo but it was not the way I expected it to be when I used it in my own game. Thanks for sharing anyway ^^

Oh it's so amazing! My jaw dropped when I was searching in the demo. unfortunately I found it a bit too late...I'm developing the final boss XD Anyway I'm going to use that fantastic advanced title screen script. Thanks ^^ EDIT: Cancelled :(

It sounds cool but : LOL what the hell? Good job Bing! You're keeping terrorists out :|

I'll receive it next week, And my laptop should run it otherwise I'll crash it into thousands pieces ^^

I give you a second to guess my name . . Did you guess it? Good job! So I bet you know it means shining/glowing in Arabic... and,yes I do hate my name...

The most important thing is that now you've gained something that you'll never lose: A stronger You :)

I can't lie :P

Heeey welcome back! Long time no see! Have fun posting (spamming?) the forums :D

Heya! Welcome to GDU! Good luck with 10% of your game :grin: I like the way you developed characters in the game. Your Kickstarter project is kinda cool, It's a big help for other game developers, I wish you luck ^^ Have a nice day!

Set the button to 0, 1 is kinda buggy. Also I've tested it with a random swf video and it works so I might be able to help if I have your video.
