you have to dig for the pdf meat. https://www.puresec.io/resource-download
we do this at my (very large) company. it's awesome. the best thing about it? engineers who aren't good at the strategic, human high-touch, or political issues, but excel at execution and implementation aren't managing…
we've had an echo for about a year now and we love it. by 'we', mean my busy family of four. it acts as everything from shopping lists to homework timers to streaming pandora/spotify to telling jokes -- and more. we…
personally, i'd rather see it combined with something like the casetop. basically, an all-in-one monitor, keyboard, and battery charger. http://livi-design.ca/ ...but, with much better industrial design.
i suspect it's more about lua being a really nice, embeddable scripting language. there's a reason game companies all* use it for content developer scripting languages. language preferences aside, sometimes it's all…
dude! you should update that page! i actually understood what you said!
/shrug i guess. i mean, what's the layman's description of a rabi cycle? anyone? if someone can lay on me a description my very smart, but non-techy wife would understand, i'll be happy to update the wikipedia entry.…
it feels like it's starting to get shaken out. the whole mega-popular digital book thing is enabling wider distribution of formats like novellas. heck, even sanderson is getting in on the gig with all of his recent…
> People don't steal ideas. while it feels counter-intuitive, this is absolutely true. people don't steal your idea because theirs is always better.
i suspect you don't actually have children. as a parent, the places these buttons would need to be for me are already child-proofed. if it's sitting next to where i keep my laundry detergent, that space is already…
i would recommend listening to the part on "common mistakes of new tech leads". do you really want a project manager -- who hasn't contributed anything to the code base -- to evaluate skills, make recommendations,…
> Minimalism isn't timeless, minimalism itself is a trend in design. i suppose. depending on the length of your view. but, given minimalism has been a "trend" for the last 100 years or so, i am going to assume you're…
try this then: $ env X="() { :;} ; echo busted" /bin/bash -c "echo wow" that'll pop out of usr, so you'll fail.
completely agreed. in fact, i kind of cheated and skirted this issue with the flexible definition of "quality". for example, the difference between comparing your (not yours personally, but the royal "your") game with…
from tfa: >I spent hundreds of thousands on making high-quality mobile games in a booming market that went largely unnoticed. as i'm in the industry, i follow gamasutra pretty closely so i actually read it last week…
fyi - i can't downvote. not enough karma or something. /shrug so, it's not me.
oh, and it just occurred to me that i might not be clear on describing the bridge that's joining the gaps you're talking about. the reason i bring up the promotion parts (ltv! k-factor! arppu!) is that i have stanford…
again, you're conflating "marketing" with "coverage for hitting the lottery". from this article: http://www.haaretz.com/business/start-up-of-the-week/1.59991... They decided to release the app to the App Store, and…
so, you're going to tell us that "yo" isn't the very definition of hitting the app lottery? edit: and i believe you're conflating "marketing" with "coverage for hitting the lottery".
yes -- hexiled is a great example of a quality game done right with very little (need for) marketing. i'm cheering for you! go, man, go!
indeed. you're totally correct on naming. that's been a pet peeve of mine for a long time. and, i would love for someone to bring out the counter example -- we've got lots of examples of poorly done games with and…
yessir. i am in the game industry. and, i'd love to share my numbers, but we've since been snapped up by disney and i bet they'd frown on my giving out the secret sauce they've paid for. edit: oh, and for the 10,000…
marketing failures? how would you differentiate them with marketing? "yet another color bubble popper!" "yet another side-scrolling shooter where you kill the undead!" "yet another match three with fruit!" i'm not sure…
personally, i think this is a good call on his part. abstract planets are more "casual friendly" than magic in a dungeon. especially as a guy who's seen first-hand several neat games with sword and sorcery theming meet…
weird. i think he's gone. i guess we'll never find out what it does now.
