In gta3, traffic lights cycle through 3 states: North/South East/West Pedestrians The traffic light’s model orientation determines its cycle, and at startup, my code stored the cycle in the road nodes. This is why, even if the light was knocked over, cars still obeyed the light. Map artists just placed the lights, ran the game, and it all worked—no extra setup needed. Simple, but it still worked this way in IV. During gta3, I gave players a 1-star wanted level for running red lights. This was not popular with the team. I quickly removed it.

@CAJ_310 Nah. Twitter insisted I added a birth date, promptly shat itself when I finally did do and I didn't think it was worth the effort to restore my profile for the amount of interaction I actually get

Very excited about people trying to buy Oasis tickets, not being able to and then 🫠 when they see a 14-year old in the crowd who just likes Wonderwall. 😂

🏝️Castaway could use a boost! 😊 For $7.99, you get a 2-parts mini-game: A short Zelda-like Mode (less than 1H) where get your gear and save your dog. Then a meatier Tower with increasing challenges & upgrades, culminating with the final boss. 🙏A RT would definitely help!

When adding emoji to your game (or other projects), keep in mind that some may not be suitable for commercial use. If you can't find a clear license for them, it's best to assume they aren't available for use. 👩⚖️

From Ultima Online and EverQuest to World Of Warcraft, online RPGs can be some of the most absorbing gaming experiences out there. What was your first experience with the genre, and did you find yourself getting hooked? Some replies will be printed in the magazine.

@RetroGamer_Daz Ogre Battle. I'd go super deep into the branching class system and I'd add some more strategic depth to the city capturing and map control.
@catacalypto So a new type of Culture War for Civ VII then?

Wow, that was quick. The effective ban on onshore wind farms in England has been lifted, just a few days after Labour took power. Planning barriers cut, so "onshore wind applications will be treated in the same way as other energy development proposals" gov.uk/government/pub…
@merlino_games Happy to hear that. It's actually been one of my favourite articles for the magazine in a long time, helps that it was about MGS though TBF!

Can we all make sure the fact that the Greens did EXACTLY as well as Reform with a *fraction* of Reform’s money and airtime does not go unnoticed, even if the news media furiously ignores it?
Oh I did this one! One of my favourite Retro Gamer articles for a long time
Metal Gear Solid sneaks onto store shelves tomorrow. Look out for it in all good retailers.

Here's how my #GodotEngine runtime procedural landscape generation is turning out. There's still a ton to do but I'm pretty sure I'll be able to meet my performance target which is exciting!

This game looks insanely good 🤯
We are so hyped, this is our new game ... *drum roll* PVKK: Planetenverteidigungskanonenkommandant The game comes from a love of pressing satisfying buttons and a fascination of old cockpits. Mix that with a bit of escape room and "Papers, Please" and you got PVKK.
