time to learn to use version control or find a competent upload manager
There are a significant number of games where data-mining or testing made specifics available that the game developers had not, like deriving formulas or giving specific rule mechanics that the game developers did not. I really wanted someone to make that available.
I like Nova Drift, a roguelite Asteroids game where one can create a ship build. But to design a build, one has to know how certain erects and weapons interact. You could do it yourself, but if you’re wrong, then maybe a 30 minute build goes bad because of a bad guess.
A lot of people spent time deriving Fallout 4’s damage mechanics.
And then there are devs/games like Nolla/Noita which specifically included a nice little message for data miners which asked them to keep all the gained secrets a secret until a certain date with a reward for both them and the community if they did and who would have guessed: they did! And now they are immortalized inside the games credits!
If you don’t want people revealing the stuff they find, maybe don’t include assets you’re not using yet in your compiled game. At least not what you want to keep a secret.
Are they serious, they’re going to blame people for discovering sound clips that were left there unused for 2 years? Do they just enjoy wasting people’s disk space or something?
Do they just enjoy wasting people’s disk space or something?
Short answer, yes
Long answer: Yes, absolutely
I mean if you only have enough space on your machine to play a few games, they’re gonna do their damndest to make sure their game is one of them.
Cough Warzone cough
If you don’t want someone to look at something, don’t fucking hand it to them.
I realize good OPSEC is hard, but this director is demonstrating a complete lack of awareness around security.
