better dedicate 4 extra audio channels to that
games

Game devs realizing they can just not optimize because retards will just put up with 100+ GB games is the worst thing to happen to the game industry
Cutscenes I'm mixed on, I really don't want devs to move to streaming cutscenes
but yeah, they are often a 10GB+ chunk of file space
even for games with few movies in them
did you know video game dunkey managed to get his game file size down to less than 50 MBs
100%, I also think devs do better work when they have to work around restrictions
it makes them have to be creative
Part of the problem is also the death of AA games
and how everything is either indie or a huge multi million dollar project
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak Hear me out, make the high rez textures free DLC
https://store.steampowered.com/app/771560/FFXV_WINDOWS_EDITION_4K_Resolution_Pack/ this is the only game I can remember doing that
I think just making everything that you do not need to run the game modular to allow people to costumize how much space the game takes up is the move
different languages audio, hd textures, etc
what stumps me about is that games do this for textures but not audio sometimes, like yes big hefty audio is an issue, but you can stoll make it sound good without it taking a bunch of space
like when i posted in max chat that specially the ps4 version of skyrim, it doesn't have raw losseless audio but it's not insanely compressed and bit crushed like every other version
Yeah, audio is easier to tell for most people
I think it is more like that the person playing has a decent headset than them having a 4k monitor
I think there is two camps max
proper headset and 20 dollar headset
I am moreso talking about a lot of people will just have beats or something like that
Polu, big news
Jonathan Blow's Braid re-release flopped
and he had to lay off all 12 of his devs
he's trying to solo-dev his new game to finish it, which has ~8 years of work put into it to this point
So that Sokoban game is dead af
yeah
Oh this is the guy who made the witness
Braid ---> Witness --> Braid:Anniversary --> TBD Sokoban game
but he's like the Jim Metokur of the indie game world
he is dying of cancer?
every gamedev treats him like their father
Some would say, he is the cancer
Do we know anything about his programing language
is it any good
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak Do we know anything about his programing language
it's really, really cool
he's showed it off a bit
I could not do it justice, other than saying I think it will actually catch on, esp since a lot of autists will force themselves to use/improve it
because it's attached to Blow
the tldr tldr is it should be more versatile than C++/C#/lua shit is currently and be FAR better at managing memory
for his long term game project
Witness was 2016, so he's coming up on 10 years ig
I release my programing language, its the same as python but all index's start at 642
