Sorry to hear that. I want to thank you for at least trying to make a game the right way despite the difficulties. Striving for greatness is often more important than actually attaining it. I wish you the best and may you go on to become what I know you already are, a great programmer. P.S. I still ...

...snip For the kind of dynamic, massively simulated and yet highly responsive world that Josh requires to make the game he wants, there was never any responsible option but to design and build it from scratch. It's just an unfortunate fact that this is Really Hard To Do . But I've never known anyo...

Must be something in the air. My GTX460 died on Wed. Going to be making a trip to Fry's today to buy a new one. Going with the RX480, not quite sure which brand I want though. Leaning most towards the XFX version but I'm not sure if Fry's has the GTR version. We will see. P.S. A few prayers sent you...

Hiya Josh, glad to see you poke your head out of the coding cave. :mrgreen: Just keep at it, you're doing fine. While I certainly want the game today, I think I sort of understand the complexity of what you are trying to accomplish, because as I stated once before, I have spent some time just thinki...

So, you INTERPRET Josh's actions as a "lack of respect?" Do you know it for a fact? Do you in fact KNOW anything about why or what he is doing? You, or those who toss that word around, have no idea if that is his intention or not. You are certainly free to your own assumptions, but I would suggest g...

There is no point in getting all worked up about something you have no control over, it's a waste of time. It's not that hard. Commiseration is one coping mechanism for grief and frustration. A large reason this thread is sitting at - what is it, 139 pages of posts now? - is because there's an over...

Look, EVERYBODY wants this game NOW, but it's not out now. So we wait. That's it. You can either spend the time doing something useful or entertaining, or you can complain about this or that, neither of which will cause the game to get here any faster. There is no point in getting all worked up abou...

Can't stand this kind of music, but this one makes some sense. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-p7n1xI6P8 :mrgreen: By the way masseffect, you have stated your "idea" over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over many times. Nobody shut you down. Nobody tried to restrict you o...

Well maybe, because this industry has some pretty stiff competition, Josh is trying to keep things closer to his vest so that his ideas and scripting concepts don't get stolen by some big name house who has millions of dollars to spend and multiple minions to do their bidding, unlike Josh who is a ...

That all makes sense. A couple of things I am curious about: lets say this new product is known to be marketable, then the economy can behave in certain ways: -it replaces demand for another product or competes with it. Anyhow, the price or traded amount of the competing product will drop, as more f...

That's some pretty cool stuff, however I was wondering what would happen if you applied it to an expanding environment. The example is pretty static as far as buy/sell locations, so what would happen if it was in a game where the player and/or the AI explores and brings new assets into play? I wonde...

Here are the 7 qualities of chronically unhappy people. snip... Unfortunately, this is a very naive approach to situations that are beyond our control. Tragedies in our lives (losing loved ones for example) or mental states that make it nearly impossible to function (re: Josh). - and of course, alw...
