I spent this year learning coding.
At the start of the year:
Hated reading documentation
Was unsure if Id need github
Never understood why code didn't work.
Now:
Love to read documentation since its the most accurate
Github has saved my ass several times
Don't understand why my code doesn't work.

For gamers out there, leaks like this means nothing without context.
It doesn't prove the in-game model is the same.
It could just be the LOD/low-res model from an aerial scene or main menu, a reference for mappers, a test model, or something completely different.

The entire Pokémon Legends Z-A map is just ONE single model. That explains why the game has flat buildings everywhere.

the code you write in the last few weeks of a game's development is just horrendous. truly nightmare programming. absolute duct tape over a crack in a million gallon aquarium.

This is perhaps the most important step forward for accessibility standardisation we've seen in the video game industry in the past five years.
Talks across major publishers to standardise accessibility tags and create shared language for features that should become standards is hugely important.

A lot of pretty crazy stuff is going on in the TF2 mapping world right now!
One of the coolest is that shadows on every map are now way smoother! No more jaggy ugly shadows, TF2 now defaults to the smoother look, and this applies to every map without needing recompile

of all the many terrible things that seem to be afflicting the public, the prevalence of defeatist mindsets with zero capacity for creative problem solving (or indeed the unwillingness to even *imagine* possible solutions to problems) might be the thing which freaks me out most.
Electricity generation has always felt like an impossible engineering problem. Demand has to match supply - yet we managed that with ancient, all-analog equipment for over a century.
Now we have so many more tools at our disposal. Why should this be hard?

Any #gamedev peeps out there with Google Play experience?
I'm in a bit of a bind: I need to update my game or else my account'll be taken down, but I can't until I complete a declaration... except I did, and it doesn't seem to register it.
I'm at my wits' end, PLEASE if anyone knows, lemme know 🙏

Whenever I see behind-the-scenes footage of a movie, it looks horrible. The color grading is off. It just goes to show, it's all a trick. Movies aren't actually good.
