If you're serious about game development or design, PLAY OLD GAMES I can't overstate how many good ideas are sitting there waiting to be discovered. Sometimes it's not even stuff that was there at the time, it's only there now looking from a modern perspective.

The bill has been opened to feedback. Rather than dooming about the proposal, you can tell them exactly how you feel about the act here. ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet... With how much of an uphill battle Chat Control is having, you should never assume it's worthless to fight these draconian bills.

I'm glad that you asked! It is, in fact, a game where you fight a big train monster! In that sense, this game is very Final Fantasy/Cuphead/ChooChooCharles-core, if you ask me.

Capcom Engineers are building tools that aren't just Game Industry leading, but Tech Industry leading. And making it open source. But this will neither get coverage or apprication. Instead people will blindly fall for clickbait.

So the fastest JSON serializer for .NET now is developed by CAPCOM as part of their game engine that powers Resident Evil / Biohazard

I did not see that coming lol

https://github.com/CAPCOM-TD-OSS/REDox

They’re also doing their own memory-management work underneath this. Instances are managed in 64 KB pages, with page reference counting plus cache and GC optimizations. The goal seems to be reducing the cost of managing huge numbers of objects while improving locality and avoiding some of the fragmentation problems they’ve had before.
This also makes CAPCOM’s REDox project much more interesting.

REDox is their open-source .NET serialization/data library, with JSON, CBOR, MessagePack-style structured data handling, lazy decoding, streaming, compact token storage, etc.
At first glance it just looks like a standalone .NET library.
In context, it looks much more like the kind of infrastructure they can write and test normally in C#, then feed into this RE:Runtime / RE:C++ pipeline and ship as native engine code.

Made me realize discussions on difficulty are tricky - there are two things that often get conflated, because a game can have both 1. games ABOUT overcoming difficulties (broadly, post-souls action RPGs/roguelikes) 2. Games that are difficult but not focused on 1's feeling (arcade, some RLs)

And if you played and enjoyed it, don't forget to write a 5-page essay and post it on Backloggd and the Steam review section because I'm checking it every day like a mentally healthy person.
