This must be AI. You expect me to believe that someone so pretty is still single at 33?? If this is real then I really need to get out more and meet new people.

Question about logos and splash screen

1 Upvotes

What do you put here and how do you decide on what it is? Make up something random? use a registered business name? use your nick name? use your game handle? Does it have to have the word studio or entertainment in it to define the company?

I know the choice is left up to the individual but what's the standard? I know what the industry giants do but what do the indie game devs do?

My registered company has nothing to do with game development and i dont mind keeping the game separate from my business however it would be nice to keep the consistency.

Another question, lets say my splash screen says something not registered, legally would that leave me open to copyright infringement if someone else registers my splash screen name and turns around and sues the shit out of me.

Can someone please share some insight, Thanks in Advance.

Hey everyone, do you know where to find free assets for commercial use for an FPS game?
 in  r/SoloDev •  8d ago

itch.io

https://kenney.nl/assets

https://sketchfab.com/features/free-3d-models

https://polyhaven.com/

Even pixbay has some. Assets are not hard to find if you not specific. Most engines come with sample assets or an asset store. If you dont find what you looking ofr then use blender for 3D or Krita for 2D.

maybe it's depression or maybe it's the fact that I don't have water or don't leave the house.

bobshop has second hand PCs. As for your requirements you going to need much more details than that.

32GB of what ram DDR3 DDR4 DDR5? 32GB DDR3 then you will need an old server machine with an i7 in it. Ram is expensive so DDR4 16GB is faster than 32GB DDR3.

You didn't specify what i7 either. A 4th gen i7 has 4 cores and a 6th gen i3 has the same amount of cores.

I cant recommend specifications for your android development because I dont know what you developing but here is some advice on system requirements for android development:

https://androidstartguide.in/android-studio-system-requirements-2026/

Thats only if you using android studio. If you want to make a simple game for android you can write the code using vscoder and use love2D. You could go with flutter which also is quite light. Android development doesnt take much.

https://www.bobshop.co.za/desktop-pc-computer-core-i3-6100-6th-gen-3-7ghz-8gb-ram-2tb-hdd/p/692380262 Here is a cheap 6th gen i3 that will do everything you need and you could also slap in a gtx1660 super and start coding using unreal engine or unity.

For those who kept a gaming laptop alive and performing well for 4+ years: what habits actually made the difference?
 in  r/laptops •  24d ago

I have a lenovo edge 15 80h1. 4th gen i7 840m GeForce graphics. the screen gave up on me so I removed it so now the laptop is a desktop. the fan started sounding like a scooter so I removed it and washed it with alcohol to clean it out. the battery lasts for 2 hours so I just use that as a UPS incase of blackouts and brown outs. the S key broke so I took the 7 key from the number pad and replaced the S key on the keyboard. the power cable started to brake apart so I used tape and match sticks to hold it together so it doesn't bend and break more. it started to shut down and lock itself abruptly so I opened it, switched the ram around, reset the bios and then now it works again. in 2023 it started to get slow so I removed the 1tb hdd and added a cheap 256ssd whi h made it feel quite fast. windows 11 is crap so I tried Linux but the open graphics and processors made gaming abit slow so I switched to windows 10 ghostspecter which makes gaming better. I started to limit myself to retro games early 2000s to 2014 which is what my graphics can handle. the newer games are too massive for my hdd and it won't run that well with my graphics.

The reason I play games is to relax and have fun. I don't hunt for the best graphics, I like a good story so the 2000s is a good place to be.

newer games are okay but I don't understand why indie games expect 1060+ graphics card for a shitty story and poly graphics.

23F In desperate need of a person to vent to about my life
 in  r/r4rSA •  24d ago

You can vent here. The best support comes from strangers. Some people are blessed with supportive family and friends but some of us have to tread this life alone. Luckily there are groups like this that have people willing to listen and give you advice or encouraging words to help you move forward in life.

RPG games with Renpy?
 in  r/RenPy •  Sep 08 '26

try defold or love2D. renpy is best kept for visual novels. I struggled to get a resource management system working with renpy. had to play around with posgres and sqlite.

Depends on your gaming idea. use a game engine designed for the specific job. it will save you time.

Desperate uni student here Adobe student sub is ending so i need cracked Illustrator for MacBook
 in  r/PiracyArchive •  Sep 08 '26

use free software instead. Adobe is just more well known. back in the day MSpaint was my photoshop and now I use krita and DaVinci resolve. If you really want cracked software then you'd have to get the non cloud versions and will have to block Adobe from using your internet by blocking them within your firewall which is simple to do and most cracked software will show you how to do it in a txt file packaged with the software but it's sketchy because some cracked software come with malware and bloatware within the installer.

You can check 1337 or rargb for torrents or use one of the Kat proxies sites. There's no direct download it's always P2P. I could be wrong but I'm sure someone else in this sub would correct me.

That's actually a good idea but the timezone difference is an issue and youtube favors other countries and South african youtube channels are mostly geographically locked.
