WoW isn't the money printing machine it once was, they gotta make it up somehow!

Seems to be working out ok for them, shitty as it is, pretty sure the only reason more companies haven't tried that is not many positioned to do it like Blizzard.

wow really? i'm sort of glad i don't care about any of their games anymore


They started doing this back in 2006 :v

I like turtles.
And to think only a little earlier I was so proud of just using an array to automate a sub-weapon database in my game... :c

Quote from Toozin:
Nintendo is downright devious with their amiibo distribution.

The only way to get Isabelle, a super popular character tons of people will want, is to get her in an Animal Crossing amiibo Festival bundle, which is a shitty game no one wants. They are ransoming Isabelle to make a shit game sell. That's supervillian level deviousness.


They're doing the same thing with the Chibo Robo amiibo.  It's only available if you purchase it in a bundle with the game.  I already  pre-purchased a digital copy of the game and had planned to buy the amiibo later, but then I read that it only comes in the bundle.  That's such bullshit.  I guess they know that tons of people will buy the bundle just to have the amiibo in their collection.  The bundle will never even be opened, it will just go on a shelf with all their other packaged amiibos, but who care because game sales will be higher. Still an asshole move imho.

i bet it will be in stores eventually ... they're putting some of the previously store-exclusive amiibo into all stores now

My sweetie bought a kinect for his xboxone and he plugged it into the xbox then powered it on.  The green xbox screen came up, then a black screen that just stays forever.  We powered down completely and restarted, same issue.  We unplugged the kinect and powered down completely, didn't help.  We changed the hdmi ports, cable, still nothing.  Has this happened to anyone and if so how did you fix?

You're sure the TV was set to the correct input?

That does sound super strange

Yeah it's definitely set to the correct source.  We do see the green screen come up with the xbox logo, then it goes black and stays that way forever.  Looking online, this has happened to a lot of people.  Support is walking through a bunch of stuff with him, he's been on the phone with them forever.  Xbox seems to have a ridiculously high fail rate compared to other consoles.

It's true the Xbox 360 is incredibly fragile-. I've never heard of this problem with Kinect before though.

But then I don't know anyone who has a Kinect but you now.

He got it working last night after talking to support for a long time.  After trying a ton of things, he had to download some patch from their site onto a flash drive, plug the flash drive into the console, then power it up while holding down the bind(?) and eject buttons at the same time for 15 seconds.  What an ordeal.

I like turtles.
Asset creation is going to be the biggest obstacle in my game project, as far as I can tell.  As soon as the resolution moves beyond 240p I am not great at spriting, let alone nice big background pieces and tile sets.

Making assets for a game on a level where it looks like a great SNES or Genesis game is a lot of work lol

That's why alot of indie devs compromise and go for art styles where they can just shit around pixels

I like turtles.
Yep, the real reason behind many "retro" art styles.  I mean, it legitimately looks good when executed well, so I can't be mad at its prevalence.  But there's no pretending it isn't there because it's much less of a headache.

My own project actually is trying to be just that, though - styled after the SNES era.  No idea how I'm going to make all the visuals for that because they're way above what I can create right now.

so apparently IGA, the Japanese guy who made castlevania, has been making Mario Maker levels, one of which is based off Castlevania. Fucking rad.
