Also, here is an example of one of mine. Its pretty old now but runs really well on old ipads: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbbQk9JK2OY Also been developing a (super fast) paint system for Unity mobile/VR: https://twitter.com/DaveSapien/status/800044501159079937 ....and here is another one of my paint systems for a new game I'm working on: https://twitter.com/DaveSapien/status/791628287915196416 Hope you like!

Yip, count me in this category as well. Its a blessing being in countries where I dont speak the language!! Getting into "the zone" is a real problem (shure se315's) when I spend most of my working life working surrounded by people. Its very comforting reading these comments, knowing I'm not alone, none of my friends suffer from this. So yes, thankyou to you all and there are others that know what you're going through.

Indeed, however I feel the main issue was the animation. A combination of cleaned up mocap protocols led to a "floaty" feel, and I suspect an over exaggeration on some phonemes done by hand afterwards also led to a cartoony feel.

Agreed. I thought is was so bad it was embarrassing. They should have kept it "artistic" and only have his face seen as a reflection on windows and back shots. These worked tremendously well....before the full front reveal. edit: I commend the film makers for their bravery, this must have been a nerve racking decision.

Tiny litte goggles!!!!!

Sure, I'm @DaveSapien. Please ignore the last few tweets about surveillance in the UK. Everything else is about my work, I try not to clutter the stream up. Its a game where you draw a (perfect) circle and avoid villains. Contact me on Twitter and I'll set you up with a beta, almost at that stage. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cxvo7HVWgAAqwOd.jpg:large

Yeah I noticed this also. Its a reoccurring theme in conversations I have with nongamers that "respect" gaming, they really do respect it, but find it difficult to get past the subject matter of the game and focus on the gameplay. I'm hoping to tackle that with my new game. Basicly it looks spiritual (it actually is to me) but offers fairly standard gaming mechanics. Just hoping it might help people get beyond the subject matter and into what's important about gaming...and be helpful in general for them.

Agreed!

Just a quick bit of advice. Getting a flat from an agent is very hard if you're not friends with them. I've seen this first hand. Bizarrely it can be just as cheap getting an air b&b for a few months at a time. Also it is absolutely worth looking in to a place across the border in France, it's cheaper, not that far away, and public transport is pretty good. I've been here for 6 months or so, but leaving soon... its really not the city for me.

So much this! I am in the exact position and facing the same issue. For me going back full time to my homeland and buying a ps4 seems like a good idea, but I have to keep reminding myself that these comfortable things ultimately just drag you down and end up owning you. I too will plant roots 'somewhere' someday, and that to will be an adventure. Good luck in finding your home!

Start small, try loads of different things and see what you like. I started really considering my cooking when I bought a rice cooker. Its very easy, fast, and a clean way to cook great food.

My advice (to the question, not the brilliant article), is to learn how to cook. A good or great diet, with fun food as well as easy healthy food is one big way to improve everything about your life. Its truly amazing what a difference it can have.

I agree with you. What you call Voxels ARE indeed the voxels.

You're mistaken.

Emm, they aren't voxels. Square polygons are not volumetric pixels. Looks nice though!

I really don't have any faith in the company, I have an otto camera. They abandoned all support and development for it as soon as it was shipped to backers. (one update) Felt like, "we've got your money, here is the minimal amount of stuff to keep us legal....now go buy or other stuff"

I have talked in front of rooms full of my peers about abusing the vulnerable with predatory IAP's. Rooms full of artists (and students) applauded me. While rooms of more 'professional' developers booed me. I found more often than not, the 'professional' people that have a family to feed defended there moral very strongly. I could boil their argument (unfairly?) down to this, its ok to trick the vulnerable out of their money because I need to make money to feed my family. Where the more idealist artisans where more interested in the craft of games and earning the right to make money with good content. Its a weird rational to base your moral actions on.

I count myself as an idealist, I care about people before my own ability to buy things. I don't think I have a right to make a living at what I love, an opportunity for sure, but thinking you have an entitlement to make money at making games seems to lead us to a dark place for us all.

replying to my own comment...ok. I found the american site for them, There is a saving version: http://www.myboogieboard.com/

Yeah, I've seen them too. But they don't save (maybe the do) the images. And most importantly for me, no undo button. I'll keep with my note pro 12.2 for now.

I live in Cambodia and have always been put off jackfruit by its smell. With plenty of other fruit I love, I've just never bothered to try it...till today. I shall give it a go this evening. I doubt the pork taste very much, as a vegetarian I hear that a lot, "it taste just like bacon", no, no it doesn't.

SOLD!

"Mobile apps and operating systems’ power usage continues to rise", Citation please.

It's my understanding that power usage trends are going down on mobile.

Death threats are illegal in most countries. So yes, police action.

no no, that was just me looking at lisp...

The Like button is people!

Doesn't actually fit in a tweet. 12 characters too long...am I missing something?

I reckon I will put something up on my blog. Its a game dev blog but my painty endeavours have a great deal of influence on that side of my work. I would love todo something in VR that took the best from tactile and digital.

I make colouring(with paint) books for kids on iPad and have been giving serious thought to make adult ones. Do you think your girlfriend would interested in working on a digital surface?

Unlikely.
