Elysian Shadows

I would recommend you to not just go through the book from chapter to chapter. Once you've learned something new in the book, have a go at experimenting with what you've learned so far by writing your own programs which aren't dictated by the book. The programs don't have to be complex or even compl...

I love the gradient. I didn't notice it at first, but that's why I like it. It's different enough to be interesting but not noticeable enough to be distracting.

If you're at the stage where you need anything other than the express version, it's likely you'll already be at a company where they'll provide it for you.

Someone I trust said your kids might be paying off your student loan, is that true? When you die, does the debt go to your family? No, I'm pretty certain that that's not true. Loans will never be transferred onto a person other than the initial person who signed the contract and loans cannot be imp...

I think the most part of the Elysian Shadows website is a bit outdated and not particularly maintained at the moment. Hopefully that'll change soon because they are working on an updated website, as far as I know.

I always considered Trading Cards a pointless waste of money.

For the people who like Trading Cards, I'm sure it would work. A similar thing has found a market with football fans in the form of FIFA Ultimate Team.

Oh and lil question which is doing me head in, how would you calculate if a number is greater than another number? (without using any integer classes). Well the first phase would be to check the string length... What do you mean 'without using any integer classes'? I assume you don't mean: if(x > y...

I wouldn't say design the entire engine before starting, but definitely plan ahead before starting a certain component of the engine.

Could you post more detail as to what the 'jumpy' movement is. If we have a less ambiguous description of what's happening, it might be easier to isolate a cause.

I would just go for the language I'm more familiar with, for you this sounds like C++. Most of the arguments between the two, such as their design philosophies, are opinions. The arguments which aren't opinions, such as Java's relative ease to development with, would be offset by the difference in l...

You should probably lay off on the lyrics a bit as I doubt anyone is going to read that much text. Provide a off-site link if you like, but I'm sure anyone who's interested can find them on their own. Or put them in spoiler tags. When it comes to “intellectual” music I tend to favor music w/o vocal...

Not sure if I understand it, are the songs themselves meant to be mind-expanding or is it just that the lyrics are about mind-expansion?

Sorry if I sounded pessimistic, it's just that there are a lot of people who want to make RPGs who have no idea what they're getting into. They think that because they've learned to move a single object around the screen by following a LazyFoo tutorial, they are now ready to make an entire RPG. Howe...

Can I just ask how experienced you are with game development? Your game proposal seems very optimistic, even if you were to use an engine and especially if you were to make your own.
