Man, that was an incredible video. As someone who occasionally dabbles in designing and creating programs, the rant about selection modes was eye-opening. It feels like I understand UX a lot better now.
Very excited for Cosmic. I wanted to like Gnome but it's a pain in the ass in so many ways, with weird design decisions that constantly ruin the experience. They tell you to use extensions to get basic features like a system tray, but then break extensions every update.
KDE is in a fantastic spot but I'm ready for something new.
I played something like 15 hours when EA first released before deciding to put it away
Same here, you're in for a treat. There's a lot that's been improved.
While we prepare for the stable release—no more than a week’s time from now—let’s enjoy one last roundup of changes.
Hype! Looking forward to updating my projects to the newest version.
The fun part of this game is hearing such differing opinions, I had someone explain that Block Koala was their favorite. I personally didn't gel with Planet Zoldath, it's conceptually neat but I found it very tedious. Glad you enjoy it though!
I'll post it on Lemmy once it's done. I'm still not entirely sure which gaming communities would be most suitable but it'll definitely be in !blogging@programming.dev :)
That said, UFO 50 is truly massive, so it'll be some time before I finish this thing. One of the games I haven't started yet is apparently a 20+ hour JRPG, so that'll be fun.
It's also a lot easier to manage via code since you could just get children and have each layer have its own group.
This is really cool. It seems to be getting hugged to death though, I'm getting a lot of server errors when I attempt to open most apps.
If you're using GPUParticles in the compatibility renderer in the last few betas, you should upgrade now. There was a bug where particles would sometimes not emit that got fixed here. Was quite frustrating.
No, the AI didn't try to copy the other art that was included. I also don't train the model myself, I just tell it to create an image similar to another one. For example the fourth picture I told it to create a rough sketch of a person sitting on a bench using an ink pen, then I went online and looked for a human-made one that's of a similar style.
Video files are an exception since it would be too slow on WASM
