    @griffinkate That's the horrific thing about these reforms. If you sacrifice efficiency and add no new money...
  81. …in reply to @griffinkate
    @griffinkate Yeah, all efficiency means is that you're cheap. But we're already #2 or #3 for efficiency. Not much room for improvement.

    @richlitt I imagine you've seen this already, but it's good to be reminded: youtube.com/watch?v=eA8XiC3m7vw
  213. This has been said before, but the Indie Game Challenge is incredibly backward.
  214. I am not an indie developer in order to have a shot of maybe one day working for a large studio. I do not hope to make the next CoD.
  215. "MAIL US: Your Video Game on a Disc (2 copies). Video Game Discs should be submitted with an installer for PC platform." is also stupid.

    @mattwebb85 Well, I'd like to get paid loads too (maybe some day!) But I don't want to break into the gaming industry, 'cuz it's a bit shit.
  217. …in reply to @mattwebb85
    @mattwebb85 much overtime, less pay than other industries that need the same skills, regular layoffs, little creative input.

    @doougle @zoewi Hell yeah! Force the fuckers into existence. It's gonna be great.
  220. This is the worst news. Planet Mu have pulled their tracks from Spotify.
  221. Although apparently they only made £115 in 2 years, so fair enough, I guess.

    @iamtef I pay for the convenience of not pirating it.

    @doougle plus.google.com/104099647665168347744/posts/9K31FdubHm5 (although since saw @#!/planetmurecords/96526475414614016 ) would be interested to see a real explanation.
  224. …in reply to @tef
    @iamtef on the whole, yes. Until this happens, and I have to go back to pirating. Wish Grooveshark would fix it's album metadata...

    @hannahnicklin I once had a drive-by onion throwing as I walked back from the corner shop. Only figured out what it was after they left.
  226. …in reply to @hannahnicklin
    @hannahnicklin So I picked it up, took it home and used it in my dinner. Seemed the only revenge possible.
  227. There's nothing like code running first time. Other than a reactor running first time in SpaceChem.

    @resiak the last is what I usually see. But you could try finding statistics...
  229. Just learnt about the in-development game "Little Text People" dirolab.com/2011/03/little-text-people-part-1-of-3.html

    @dinosaurrparty I used to be at the sandwich shop by uni. And clearly the bagel people near work recognize me, but no friendship there.

    @tiedtiger the first is standard. Plus, the term is awful, but you don't notice so much with the first.
  234. @therussmorris open.spotify.com/user/v21/playlist/18JNPSjWPN8Imxlmq94eP7 not properly sorted, or playlistified. But there's lots of good in there.

    @tiedtiger If readjusting to the controls is the point, or part of it, then it can be fine to do. But if it's not, go for the most natural.
  238. …in reply to @tiedtiger
    @tiedtiger but i'd defend making controls weird for the sake of it. that can be a good game. not the most exciting in the world, but good.
  239. …in reply to @tiedtiger
    @tiedtiger (in fact, picturing it, it'd be ... QWOP-lite? That's not super interesting, but there's something left there.)
  240. !!! Paul Robertson did animation for Fez?! Damnit, and I'd been resisting wanting that game so successfully for so many years. Feh. Want!
  241. …in reply to @tiedtiger
    @tiedtiger Yeah, it can be lazy. But I wanna shout out Earthbound's Mushroom status illness here - earthbound.wikia.com/wiki/Mushroom
  242. …in reply to @tiedtiger
    @tiedtiger tl;dr : it makes the D-pad controls flip every few seconds. It's annoying, and deliberately so. Fantastic bad-design design.
  243. @HilariousCow sodaplay! I had forgotten about that!

    @therussmorris oh yeah, when you asked if there was swearing I forgot about this song. This one is filthy.

  247. …in reply to @Slaktus
    @Slaktus because they look more like faces, maybe? I don't think you're alone in that, though.
  248. I had the "not sure what to work on next" feeling with Mr Bubble. Not any more! #playtesting
  249. Was just told that The Beast was the most beautiful thing @londonhackspace possesses. :D
  250. …in reply to @radiodario
    @radiodario More a rip of Maple Story, but reskinned for Western audiences. KoL doesn't have bad platforming.
  251. @HilariousCow I just saw Frank Sinatra singing High Hopes.
  252. Roundly trounced at my own game. Feels fantastic.
  253. Dudes peeing on the doors at both ends of the carriage. I changed carriage. I can hear them cheer as others get on.

    @Slaktus i've not seen the twitter arguments, but... good taste is the most valuable thing a designer can have.
  257. …in reply to @radiodario
    @radiodario hey, I'm not particularly knocking it - MapleStory had my brother hooked for 3-4 years. & I do appreciate the feel of Glitch.
  258. …in reply to @radiodario
    @radiodario and I like the non-abusive Eve-like timed levelling, and the dialogue is excellent, and it's a lovely world.
  259. …in reply to @radiodario
    @radiodario and the focus on creation rather than destruction is refreshing, and I'm intrigued to learn more about how the Gods work...

  261. Just booked the pub for Monday's #londonindies. The Crown, Islington. See you all there!
  262. …in reply to @apyoungblood
    @apyoungblood we all go to the pub, and talk and drink and sometimes play Ninja on the pavement outside. It is super-easy to organize.
  263. …in reply to @apyoungblood
    @apyoungblood yeah, a formal show-and-tell is good, and I would totally go to it. and rants, too! but that's a different event, I think.
  264. …in reply to @apyoungblood
    @apyoungblood it's so good to chat about this stuff in person, isn't it? Somehow more exciting.
  265. …in reply to @apyoungblood
    @apyoungblood we've been going over a year - I worry sometimes we're too insular. Talks etc would help make newcomers more welcome maybe.
  266. …in reply to @apyoungblood
    @apyoungblood yeah, it's difficult. Lots of things you can try, but ultimately you just need to chat to people who look lost.
  267. There was a flat, but it wasn't an hour and a half later.

    @nicholaslovell @OwenGoss also, worth noting that people who don't make much money are likely to stop making games, and not hire more people
  276. The Humble Bundle has VC funding of just under $5million from Sequoia Capital.

    @Slaktus well,they still mandate Linux support, are DRM free, pay-what-you-like-kinda, and funnel money towards decent people."Not yet evil"

    @nachimir @Slaktus case in point, this happened about half a year ago, and they're still surviving. Prospering, even. Flourishing!

    @RawrDennis That's some good work.... But there's a nicer way to deal with it. Define an animation curve, then use curve.Evaluate(input).
  283. …in reply to @PointerFunction
    @RawrDennis then make the curve look like the one you diagrammed, and use the output. far easier to tweak! and no maths, either!
  284. Oh, yeah, I handed over a large sum of money today, so I now have a new flat from a few weeks time. Which is a relief!
  285. …in reply to @undefined
    @Rachelbug1 I do, yeah. I work in the Old Truman Brewery, so if you give me a call when you're at the Vibe Bar, I'l come down and meet you.
  286. …in reply to @tonicblue
    @tonicblue You paid the £100, then?
  287. …in reply to @undefined
    @reallyfancy dunno. are the drinks free? Although, actually, that's the day I get access to my new flat, so maybe not.
