HAPPY VERTDAYYY

The difficulty with this (and a lot of other systems in DeadOS) hasn't been "how can I make zombies hear sounds" but "how can I make thousands of zombies hear and react to sounds up to 20 times per second without the CPU exploding"

Working on a system for large noises like gunfire to attract zombies from a distance. I think it's going to be a game changer.

The would barely know any other game devs if it wasn't for Ludum Dare. Sad to see it go.

Tumblr user thereisselfpreservation "I'm seeing warnings about scammers trying to commission artists but the "reference sheet" for their character they want commissioned isn't an image but a .vbs file ("visual basic script"), and will run a script when you open it, probably to yoink your account(s), but I haven't seen this from anyone who's actually clicked it yet. Just be careful and never open a file like that, 'cause people suck." Reply from the same user: "For reference (heh)" Screenshots of messages. Sender: "Okay, I've sent it now." There's a file attachment called "Shork_YCH_MyReference_v1.vbs". The vbs extension is circled. Sender: "If everything is in order, I can send the overpayment." Sender, in reply to the file attachment (again with the vbs extension circled): "How much would the full piece cost?" thereisselfpreservation: "At a glance, the file name checks out. But!! do not open a .vbs file!!!

You should know that the infamous I Love You virus uses the same trick - Always make sure to turn on 'show file extensions' in your windows/browser settings.

I went back to school to see my nephew take part in a school assembly a few years back and they got to the part where they said "and now let us pray" and all the students automatically bowed their heads and I was stunned for a second and then like "OH YEAH WE DID DO THAT DIDN'T WE!" UK schools man.
