[bokuden]

Awesome Kitatus! Made me smile the whole time!

[MezioPleo]

So tempted

[Vekintor]

Great excuse to read up on vectors and make the physics go crazy. Now my head is spinning and the race to figure out what's up before the deadline is on.

Just wanted to add to the "from scratch"-discussion that sure it's probably better the more you can custom make but... that goldmine of assets in the example games seems too good to pass up. Either as temporary placeholders or to fill in stuff that should be in the game but you won't have time to make yourself.

So stuck right now. Trying to work collaboratively in a fairly simple ( like only just off being stock starter project ) game and have set up stuff using dropbox and link shell symlinks ( as described in a youtube vid i found ) And just continuosly having sync issues.

Main issue at the moment is TwinStickExampleMap.umap cannot sync (permission denied). We have decided from our various attempts at getting past this that the only sure fire way to clear the error is to close the edditor on the machine having the sync issue reported. It then syncs, and I can oipen my editor and the file has updated.

I'm currently looking through perforce/P4 and have ascertained that the key feature which must be the drawcard for game designers is the "checkout exclusive" feature of the version scontrol system, a feature that iir was available back in 2000 with visual source safe.

I've asked this already, but there was no answer, hopefully someone with some deep wisdom can tell me what the best way to work collaboratively across internet is, so that we can both have the project open and up to date/realtime without running into issues like this. I must presume that someone knows this little nugget of information, I refuse to believe that everyone else in this jam is working on an island and doesnt have this issue. I've even considered looking at using a vpn or something and relying on windows native file locking.

Cheers peeps.
