About me: I am a bestselling author who self-published my Aestus series and am now an SFWA member (and other achievements I’m v. proud of, thank God). I learned much of this by trial/error. Thx to those who have supported me!

Obiecana 🧵: #Francja 🇫🇷 - #Indie🇮🇳, czyli niezwykłe partnerstwo. Dwustronna współpraca ma swoje korzenie w czasach zimnej wojny. W pierwszych dziesięcioleciach, po odzyskaniu przez Indie niepodległości. 🇫🇷opowiedziała się po stronie Indii podczas wojny indyjsko-pakistańskiej🇮🇳🇵🇰 
Paryż nie chciał wykluczenia Indii z globalnego ładu nuklearnego.Podpisanie umowy o partnerstwie strategicznym w 1998 wyniosło stosunki 🇫🇷-🇮🇳 na wyżyny, a umowa z 2018„o zapewnieniu wzajemnego wsparcia logistycznego między ich siłami zbrojnymi”, była potwierdzeniem super relacji.
I made a input buffer system. In this clip you can see how pressing block mid-combo would result in some harsh transitions and then how I rectified that with input buffering!

Here's the simple version of how I achieved it:
- Create a bool to check if your input was pressed.
- This is checked in an event tick notify end which is placed in the animation as a notify.
- If true send an event to your character BP e.g Block.

In the end you should have a notify window which can be placed anywhere to stop these nasty transitions.
This is a basic version of a buffer system, this is simply checking if an input was pressed and what to fire from there!

V Samarkandu, #Uzbekistán brzo začne summit Šanghajské organizace pro spolupráci (SCO): členy jsou teď #Čína, #Rusko, většina #StředníAsie, #Indie a #Pákistán. Co je SCO zač a co čekat ze středoasijského úhlu pohledu? Thread: 1/?
2/SCO je eurasijská organizace. Má za cíl pomáhat spolupráci v ekonomických, politických, bezpečnostních a dalších oblastech. Velkou výhodou je relativní volnost vnitřních pravidel - členské státy si mohou do velké míry dělat, co chtějí a spolupracovat jen na čem chtějí.
3/Tím pádem spolu mohou jednat i reprezentanti těch zemí, pro které jsou suverenita a neutralita svaté, kteří mají partnery i mimo organizaci či kteří mají zájem interagovat jen v některých oblastech. caa-network.org/archives/24202…
There is a way to create something like Area polygon and detect when it is entering/exiting, writing custom code and cursing a few things in a process.
Much better to use TextureButton and assign your texture to Normal.

Already not bad! However, it reacts to our click in a shape of rectangle that wraps our texture, but not in a shape of texture. We can fix this by using Click Mask field in TextureButton. Click mask is a BitMap that will be created based on the image's alpha.
Recently my #podcast co-host and I broke ties mid-campaign with a #sponsor - the first time in 400+ episodes that we've done this. I'm sharing that story in this thread about #podcastads, with two goals in mind.
The first goal is to help #podcast listeners think more critically about the ads they're hearing, particularly in sensitive and high-stakes topic areas like #health and #wellness, #finance and #money, and #relationships .
My other goal is to empower #podcasters to advocate for themselves (and ultimately their listeners) in these sponsor-content creator relationships.
People seek our advice bc of our large #playtesting pool. Real #IndieGameDev talk? It was PURE LUCK. We have no special advice. Me (Liv) and Jim went to school in the States. One of our classmates knew the Rev from LGBT and adult sex ed presentations. #TTRPG #indie #TRPG (1/4)

Irgendwie hat mich das Bild angelacht, weil es voll positiver Energie ist. Man sieht uns den Spaß an.
Carina und ich sind einen langen, teils ähnlichen Weg gegangen, anfangs #Indie, übers @Nornennetzwerk, nun veröffentlichen wir beide bei Knaur. Wir standen uns nie im Weg,

1. Formatting book for e-version (pdf) from MS Word - advice is welcome from fellow #writers , @AcademicChatter or even kind #indie #publishers:
2. My book, to be published in a little more than a month, is now just a word docx. I have to format it myself although it has an ISBN and it is institution material.
3. I found a few MS Word templates for download, although I believe all I need to to is follow best formatting guidelines and format the final edited version.
I have been scouting FREE RESOURCES for indie/side-projects to create and market their online presence.

#TheLastOfUs2 se vende a 7000 pesos.
Pagar eso por un juego (bueno o malo) es una locura. No lo necesitás. Podés esperar.
Si en serio querés gastar 7000 pesos, acá va una lista de 100 juegos excelentes en liquidación en Steam.
La lista COMPLETA vale menos que ese juego SOLO.

Esta no es una lista retro. Son títulos de entre 2007 y 2019 (más o menos desde PS3) y están entre los mejor valorados de Steam.
El más caro vale $180 y dura unas 100 horas. Hay indies, RPGs, juegos japoneses, aventuras de acción, multijugador - lo que se te ocurra.

Inicio un hilo en el que iré incluyendo los videojuegos que vaya terminando este año 2020. Seguramente haya muchos que habré comenzado el año anterior, e incluso antes, pero lo importante es cuando se termina. ✌️

World of Illusion - Mega Drive Mini
Lanzado en 1992 para la consola de #SEGA, este cartucho de #MegaDrive fue probablemente el primer videojuego cooperativo que jugué en mi vida. Y qué mejor forma de comenzar el año rejugándolo y recordando viejos momentos de mi infancia. 🙂

Publish where, how, what you want to publish, when you want to publish, not where everyone else is publishing just because those places may have an air of prestige, desirability. Publish where the people you care most about will access to work, without others' imposed boundaries.
#Publish in many different kinds of places, with different scales. Be a human body that reaches out to the exact people -- your core -- you wish most to #read and be moved by your work.
I have this suspicion that your "core" readership is not "The Academy," but the folks, the gente, the familia/pamilya, mga kapwa-tao, mga kapuso.
How do you best reach them but to go where they are and where they gather, to bring your presence and your work there.

Another week, another #screenshotsunday (I forgot to post this last night for #screenshotsaturday 😅).
This time I've refactored some of the code and I added a few new things: health popups, crates and warps!

health popups will display your health (and the enemy's too) when in combat or when picking up a potion. The same popup will also, well, pop up when you collect items, money or experience points!

Crates serve as static obstacles that the knight can destroy to make way. In the future, these crates will have a chance of containing items to collect.

We need to talk about applying for game dev jobs - I get a lot of CV and emails though about work and I am seeing the same mistakes again and again. Here are my super top 10 tips on what to do and what not to do when applying for jobs, especially entry level – #gamedev #gamejobs
1 – Introduce your self! - When you send an initial email, tell me who you are! What’s your name where do you come from WHATS YOUR SPECIALITY. I get many emails just asking if there are any ‘jobs’ going. If we are not advertising please tell me what you do!
2 – Put your best foot forward - “I am a writer/concept artist/animator” Are you really? Please think long and hard about this one. Chances are you excel in one area. I have yet to meet anyone who excels at more than one discipline that hasn't got 10/20+ years experience
