News : Create online game with AI on rosebud website.

This online website comes with templates and artificial intelligence that lets you develop any type of game you want to build.

You can start with the free account or use a paid one.

After a few time I spend with this artificial intelligence I was able to build a nice simple 2D game.

I asked to create areas of interactions, data structures and more, but I don't have an paid account and I stoped now.

This is the last changes from this testing game:

Blender 3D : ... all available nodes !

An old surce code in python for Blender 3D to see available nodes :

import bpy

node_tree = bpy.context.object.active_material.node_tree

location_x = 0
location_y = 0

for type in dir(bpy.types):
    real_type = getattr(bpy.types, type)
    if issubclass(real_type, bpy.types.ShaderNode):
        try:
            node = node_tree.nodes.new(type)
            node.width = 250
            node.location = (location_x, location_y)
            location_x += 300
            if location_x > 3000:
                location_x = 0
                location_y -= 600

Abandoned games - the perfect recipe !

If you search on youtube with terms "abandoned games" you will find a lot of abandoned games with play areas without real players.

It is a negative factor in the development of a game type product and is real and quantifiable ...

These abandoned games are an overly pretentious point of view, and can mislead a potential supporter of a game development project.

From my point of view, the risk of creating and marketing a game is similar to a new product launched in marketing...

After all, let's think a little differently to understand: you want to launch some kind of commercial product: a cake, a new vehicle, a battery, a hat, a cap, an urban architecture project... Whatever you want, you will take the necessary steps to promote. Now create an online or computer game to promote this product... you will better understand why abandoned games are actually projects completed over periods of time with well-defined purposes...

From the point of view of design and development of projects in games, some youtube channels and videos can be real sources in the case study of the development of a game project. Let's see some examples:
