The most high-end and unique game developers and games industry conference in Europe in it's fifth edition will be gathering absolutely top notch speaker lineup of 100+ speakers and more then 1500+ attendees!
It will be taking place from 19th to 21st of April 2018 in legendary city of Dubrovnik at luxurious Sheraton Dubrovnik resort.
What makes programs slow -> lack of understanding of control flow and overprotective programming. For example in Unreal Engine whenever you change a property value a OnConstruction script should be run on an Actor - in case it uses that property and want to reconstruct somehow using new value. While that approach is sub optimal, but it knda works. The main problem with it - is that OnConstruction script can be run five times for one property value change - just because it is triggered from different functions in the update call chain, just because there was some bug sometime when it was not run, so to make sure developers added that call everywhere it was needed/ So instead of 1x construction script time operation now takes 5x construction time. And that kind of stuff happens in every program - because in the beginning programs start simple, and then they grow, new layers add up and they need to update and nobody can fix old logic because to many people already depend on it.
My biggest problem with removing numbers from the UI is that it essentially obfuscates what's going on. That's okay in some aspects, but I feel like transparency is important, and thinking numbers are bad is a bit too extreme. Many people who love RPGs love numbers and data.
I think it's very hypocritical of Hennig claiming that Hollywood is going to come in and "stink up the place" when it's herself and her clique that have been doing it all along. It's ok for her to be a gatekeeper but it's bad if anybody else is doing it.
The tragedy that the person uploading this video choose 24FPS, in a video about the importance of frame pacing and frame rate. Basically making it impossible for the viewers to see what the audience saw.
This is soooo good.. all these days the AI hype taking over programmer jobs?? 😂😂 As if some token parser will replace me .. calling a token parser an AI is in and itself fraud and a warcrime
He'd be enraged to learn that current Photoshop CC loads several times slower than his version. On my older computer which didn't have an SSD, it frequently took between 2-4 minutes to load. On my current machine, with an M.2 drive, it takes between 17-30 seconds. Insane!
25:00 Still mandatory watching and the most entertaining presentation of RNG ever. In particular now that with BG3 another RNG-based game has reached a mainstream audience, not merely professional QA. ;-)
Thank you for caring about stutter so much. In my view, 60Hz with occasional but consistently occurring stuttering is worse than 30Hz. "The Talos Principle" is a game running on Windows that looks great and is super smooth. It is such a joy to play when the graphics are so rock solidly smooth. In terms of content, it is also excellent; one of my favourite games of all time. P.S.: "The Talos Principle" was made by Croteam with apparently huge input from Alen Ladavac.
man but what he said about the characters is what was special about oblivion and fallout you could be nice but they still wouldnt like you, just like real life
Can you upload Damjan Mravunac's presentation from Modern Wolf Stage during Day 1, 17:00? Looks like this entire stream is only footage from the Xsolla stage so his presentation's not in here.
And it's like 1/20 of unity load times. And this is a full scene that takes less time to load than empty unity project with one capsule, one script and one cube.
This project shows once again: Building more features works better in a team, building (or at least designing) something small and good with conceptual integrity works better alone. Mathematica dhows the same thing. Projects need a benevolent expert level dictator.
Something I took from this language is that it is WAY too far ahead of it's time, in a great way. I don't think most even understand how smart this guy is. This is insane. These features are literally the future depending on how they are implemented. I would imagine this language won't be picked up mainstream for a long time due to the immense learning curve of some of these out of the box features. This guy has been programming industry standard C/C++ code so long he was able to take that experience and go straight from mind to program with improvements, optimizations in workflow, a whole ass new programming language, great syntax, great features, and all. This will be under appreciated at first.
The learning curve isn’t too immense if you’ve programmed in C++ before! It’s quick to start writing code you want (in a month I was comfortable), but the skill ceiling is much much higher which is great :)
I got here from the Loyal wiki page. I'm a huge Fallout fan and a union retiree, enjoying the new gaming rig the pension helped provide to me along with an ultrawide monitor. A sincere thank you to the brothers and sisters who pitched in with me on our pension plans as well as all the other ways we help each other.
He's certainly got courage and stamina. I think there are many who feel that the state of things, when it comes to software programming, is not particularly good, but to figure out just how and why that is is difficult. Even much more difficult than that, is to actually create a new solution and convince people that it's not just another more-or-less pointless attempt at starting a fad. I mean, there are many very smart people that has had a lot of time to do something about these problems, but they haven't. He's like a single worker ant trying to move the entire ant colony. The odds are certainly against him. But as some clever people have said, it's the things that are hard to do that matters.
He's genuinely an inspiration, I mean since I've started listening to him, It really helped me pushed myself, into being harder with myself, he's one of the few that try to remind people that part of the value that we are delivering through programming is time. Fast software is not just great because it's fast, on a scale of a person's life, even a 10s decrease in build time is probably days of life saved, powerful builtin metaprogramming features that let you cut some of the dirty work and let you avoid macro insanity, and help you debug your program more efficiently can help you save month in the long run, there is really a compounding effect in having the underlying tool being powerful, I think the next generation of language are really going to be awesome compared to C/Cpp, like Zig, Rust (even tho I'm not a big fan of it but people are certainly building cool things with it), Mojo, etc.
11:38 I liked and still like the GUI like that. It's all there, all in one screen, all the character info you need. It looks like a control panel of some imaginary tech that fits the game so well. No sliders, no tooltips, everything is either self-explanatory or can be explained in the down right corner. Awesome.
It boggles my mind why nobody before jonathan thought of making the build process invovles the actual language you compiling CMAK MAKE and all this shenanigans were needless i hope JAI language adopt a syntax that is pretty and human readable like C#, i don't know why languages don't copy C# Clean syntax, writing C# code is just easy on the eye and less frustrating to read
I'd like to watch his first talk, but I can only find the slides on GDC Vault. I assume I'd have to pay to be able to watch the actual video of the talk?
