@grapefrukt @ruby0x1 @AndiJorgensen @luxeengine i understand that including a random rust library/utility is not easy either, but!! i do like the approach of github.com/RazrFalcon/resvg/tree/master/usvg in parsing SVG down to a simpler format that is then easier to actually usePermalink Look on archive.org

@KommanderKlobb @grapefrukt @ruby0x1 @AndiJorgensen @luxeengine the solution we used involved generating meshes, which put constraints on the art pipeline that were kind of annoying but ultimately worked pretty well with both Nils's and @streamofstars's style. and only a single artist (while i was on it), which helped.Permalink Look on archive.org

@moreelen had a pattern on a previous project which was a co-development - every meeting between us and them had to have producers from both sides, so they could keep control of what work was happening etc. slowed everything all the way down.Permalink Look on archive.org

@moreelen I mean. Seems like they're not, though? I can imagine a team getting stuck in a low trust situation with primarily freelancers on the project, but doesn't seem ideal.

i want lots of games people to read this book. not especially because of the arguments it makes about play, but because it has such an expansive vision for other ways people can organise their societies & I want to spend time within social systems that work in new ways.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
it's a hard ask to make those games, though, because these ways of living are so different from the baseline assumptions we have, and that's hard stuff to teach a player. King of Dragon Pass is incredible, but is a difficult game to get into despite only getting halfway there.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
maybe the more practical ask is to hope for more sci-fi/fantasy authors to write in the tradition of Le Guin. which, yes, this is a thing I have desired long before reading this. (tho, ofc, if this is a thing you are trying to do, I would still recommend this book)Permalink Look on archive.org

what colour is the Sun?Permalink Look on archive.org
-
(no, not white, for the purposes of this tweet that is not a colour)Permalink Look on archive.org
-
I guess my contention is that it isn't really a perceivable colour, as we perceive colour as (in most circumstances) relative to the colour of the light sources illuminating them. And if you can see the sun it's almost certainly the dominant source of light.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
however! as anyone who has corrected the white balance of a RAW photo knows, daylight skews kind of blue, certainly in comparison to incandescent bulbs.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
so why is yellow the traditional sun colour? well, different hues are perceived as having different brightnesses, and of these, yellow is the brightest. the sun is very bright, and so feels least wrong.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
also the atmosphere, dust, etc gives the sun an orangey cast - at times when the sun has been sufficiently dimmed by this to become something you can easily look at, it is actually a yellowy colour.Permalink Look on archive.org

@feine_kost yeah! or course, the question is still "what is a colour", which this def exposesPermalink Look on archive.org

@alexhern oh, so daylight is blue because the sun is blue, but most of that blue is actually no longer coming from the sun position itself, but is instead coming from elsewhere in the sky?Permalink Look on archive.org

the economics of this tweet are kind of fascinating to me. ripping off an original tweet & then paying a meme account to retweet it, in order to link her OnlyFans beneath it. @thedineromia/1572362808783781888Permalink Look on archive.org

like, even: why do OnlyFans creators work so hard to promote on Twitter? because OF has very little discoverability, and since all the Tumblr shenanigans, Twitter is the only big social platform that allows NSFW content (due to being too big for Apple to kick them off iOS)Permalink Look on archive.org

@pippinbarr I think you need to have the first scene be sync & have the beefier scene be async load, triggered by a script. Should be able to get an idea of performance by opening that first scene in unity & pressing play - it'll load then & not in edit mode.Permalink Look on archive.org

It is hard to tell stories with boardgames because the game is, even more than with videogames, inside the player's head, and given people usually don't like to digest vast quantities of information before playing... you gotta use the stuff that's already up therePermalink Look on archive.org

i think i would say that any game devs that bet big on Stadia without money down from Google did this were either bad at their jobs or knowingly taking a large risk. the games industry relationship with new platforms is "take their money & hope they don't establish a monopoly" @patio11/1575646945451790337Permalink Look on archive.org
