One of the most challenging parts about making a game is the software you will use. Determining which language to use, and learning to code the game in that language. Some people may find it reasonably easy to simply grab some C++ Libraries and start coding right out of Notepad, but for some of us we need to get our feet wet first.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
That article was really confusing!
Really... Thought it was pretty straight forward... but then again, I've been playing with these programs quite a bit. Game studio is really a lot easier then it sounds. Game maker is really easy to break into the best thing to do is use Game Maker for a little while then graduate to the 3D Game Studio.
I found that at first Game Maker was confusing, but as I learned to script in it I was learning some basic principles for scripting in Lite C as well. Next thing I knew I had a game growing it was a rather nice game to.
One of the greatest things about Game Studio is that it will teach you programming techniques you will use later, if you decide to build your own Game Engine.
I've always wanted to create a video game, even a cheap little flash game that can be played for free. If I could have one shot, just one shot, I know can make it big.
the thing is I don't know how to program, I wish I did :/
programming, programming, and programming.
Game maker lets you get the job done without any programming experience at all... It's kind of like putting together a puzzle with all the pieces already created you just need to put them together, and come up with original art and music. Game Maker requires no credit be given to them so if you do a great game you can sell it even though it was made using Game Maker.
Once you are more accustomed to using Game Maker you can start using more complex scripting, but when you're building that first design, it's much like using a webpage builder, it's so simple.
I think I spent a few months in Game Maker before I graduated to Game Studio. Game Maker is basically point and click, until you start learning to write scripts to do things that point and click can't.
