Video games sometimes get a bad rap for absorbing all our attention and making us oblivious to the outside world to the point where we lose track of it and the people in it. I can’t tell you how many times my wife has had to come and stand between my game controller and the television in order to get my attention when I’m completely engrossed in a game. She hates it and doesn’t understand the bewildered “where did you come from?” look that usually washes over my face.

Sometimes, though, this kind of disregard for reality and the people around us is exactly what the doctor ordered. Literally.

Are you one of my suave and sophisticated Patreon supporters? If so, you get this and other articles in mini-podcast form. Reading text is so old-fashioned!

Video games have a lot of ways to create this kind of sensation, which

In the Lighting section of the URP Asset, you can change the settings for both the Main Light and Additional Lights. The Main Light is the most significant Directional light in your scene. Additional Lights are the remaining Directional, Spot, and Point lights. While a scene can include a large number of these lights, there is a general limit to the number onscreen and a Per Object Limit for the Forward Renderer path.

The Main Light is either the light you designate as the Sun Source in the scene’s Lighting Settings (Window > Rendering > Lighting > Environment) or the brightest real-time Directional light. In practice, this is usually the brightest Directional light with a Render Mode set to Auto or Important, and a Mode set to Mixed or Real-time.

Unity bases the brightness of Directional lights that use the Render Mode option

Do you have a proper gaming environment? Do you prefer Multi-gaming Platform apps on a single platform? 

Does a multi-gaming platform offer more features and edges over a single platform? 

Lets explore this in detail. 

What is a multi-gaming platform? 

The online gaming platform is the most successful currently, with technology taking bigger strides in this digital world. 

A multi-gaming platform is a single platform where multiple types of games are available in a single app; the games can be real Money games or virtual Money games, i.e., skill-based games or luck-based games. Various games like Card, Casino, Board, Sports, Hyper-casual, Arcade, and Puzzle are available under a single platform.

Some examples of games that can be included in multi-gaming platforms: 

Card Games: Rummy, Tonk, Solitaire, Spades, Callbreak, Teen Patti, Andar Bahar, 29 cards, Mindi, Court Piece, 21 Cards/

Thinking about the roguelike elements, how did you implement randomization? What was most difficult to balance here?

Our team has a huge range of skill levels when it comes to gaming. We balanced “easy” to Julian, “medium” to me, and “hard” to Jimp.

The other nice thing about dungeon crawlers is that you don’t really need the randomization to be very balanced. It’s actually more fun when you have a run where you get lucky, and sometimes you get really unlucky. It’s that variety that makes it fun!

Balancing was mostly focused on enemy and boss HP against the level of your character’s starting weapon. Then there was experimentation with faith and hunger levels. 

We also have a lot of things under the hood of the game that adjust to the player if you’re struggling. For example, if you’re low on health, you’re much more likely to find a heart

Offwhat GameObject?

First off: what is an offscreen object?

An object is offscreen when you cannot see it from your camera’s perspective. This may happen because your object is “behind” your camera (therefore culled by frustrum) or behind walls/other occluders (occlusion culling).

So if an object is offscreen and we cannot see it, we don’t have to dedicate expensive computational resources to it right?

Wrong. That’s what I thought when I was a kid. Not anymore.

The Performance Cost(s) of Offscreen Objects

Here are some of the hardware costs you are paying for offscreen objects:

• The culling price: is an object offscreen at all? Unity determines this by checking its visibility through

It’s important to understand what you need best for your gaming projects. If you’re working on a new title, a remake or a remaster can often prove highly effective at drawing in new audiences. A game port is just as effective with a recent title, allowing new players to dive into your game by expanding its reach and availability. 

We’ve touched on the how’s and why’s of game porting before, but if you’d like to understand the key differences between these options, keep reading. The Starloop Studios team are experts and industry leaders in game porting, with more than twelve years’ experience in development, game porting, and more. And understanding what separates these options for developers or investors is key in successful continued business in the gaming industry.

Remaking

Remaking an older title is a fantastic way to rejuvenate fans of your titles and your work. Bringing life back into
