Author here, thanks for your comment. I am glad to hear that things are progressing! Can you share how large is the team responsible for .NET Modernization? > migrating legacy native C++ code to C# backed by CoreCLR. Yes please! Surely t

Re serialization: We have custom binary serialization that essentially dumps the game state into a binary stream. No allocations, no copies, no conversions. Our saves can be big, >100 MB uncompressed, so there is no room for waste. The b

Sure, we could use Burst to speed up some strategic parts, but that would not help with the core of the game. To give some context, things are very complex in our game, we have fully dynamic terrain with terrain physics (land-slides), advan

From my experience, performance gains seen in Debug builds in Unity/C#/Mono nearly always translate in gains in Release mode. I know that this is not always true, but in this context that's my experience. Setting up release b

Official support for animations, yes! This feels so nostalgic to me, I have written an L-system generator with support for exporting animated PNGs 11 years ago! They were working only in Firefox, and Chrome used to have an extension for the

I see, integrating image inputs can be very challenging in this case as the models work with text input. I was not even thinking about the full isometric image, but just some simple 2D map where each pixel can be color-coded based on the en

This is awesome! I like the idea of abstracting the factory building with a code-like structure. I wonder if supplemental 2D image (mini-map style) as an input to the policy would help with the spatial reasoning? I work on a similar factory

Why did this post disappear from the front page? I understand that this is now a heated topic, but I think it is good for people to know about things like this.

This is not about "unwilling to pay for quality tools", but completely changing the way they charge for the tools, which gets applied to all legacy software that ever used their tools, despite their previous (now deleted) clauses

Game dev here. The reason is simple - performance. Unlike Java, C# has zero-overhead structs (custom primitive types if you will), so say a Vector3f is just 3 floats in memory, 12 bytes, no object overhead, no pointer indirection. This is a

Yes! Nuclear reactor needs enriched fuel and produces heat. You connect water and it will turn it to steam that you can pipe to do what you want. Usually you want to use it in turbines for electricity production, but you can also use it for

Steam has regional pricing and we can set a price in local currency for each country separately. They also provide price suggestions. Argentina is one of the cheapest regions so you can definitely pickup cheaper games there. Note that not a
