There is the following platform: And a coin above it: And the following code using arcade physics: gravity: { y: 100, x: 10 }, - in config function preload () { this.load.image('platform', 'assets/platform.png'); this.load.image('star', 'assets/star.png'); } function create () { platforms = this.physics.add.staticGroup(); platforms.create(400, 568, 'platform'); player = this.physics.add.sprite(100, 450, 'star'); player.setCollideWorldBounds(true); } The code is approximate, a coin above the platform, sprites in png format. But the coin falls and does not roll, but moves horizontally, after which it falls again. How to make it "roll"? … [Read more...] about How to make physics of motion on an inclined surface

Rumour: Scalebound lives on as a Nintendo Switch exclusive
According to rumours, Scalebound is being resurrected by Nintendo and will be heading to Nintendo Switch. Originally, PlatinumGames’ open world action title was an Xbox One exclusive, but it was cancelled by Microsoft in 2017. New rumours suggest Nintendo has since picked it up and is working with Platinum to bring it back. Nintendo-Insider originally reported this information, but it lines up with whispers VG247 has heard. What this means for the scope is unclear. On Xbox One, it was going to be a vast open world game with online components. It’s not known at this point whether development continued from the cancellation or the project has been rebooted entirely to suit the new, less powerful hardware. Game Informer senior editor Imran Khan also recently hinted that Nintendo was reviving a game thought to be long-dead – now we know it’s most likely Scalebound. … [Read more...] about Rumour: Scalebound lives on as a Nintendo Switch exclusive
Xbox One Sales Numbers Make It The Worst Selling Console In Japan For 2018
Xbox One has struggled to in the land of the rising sun, Japan. Since its release 4-5 years ago, the console has failed tremendously in Japan. As a result, every year, it is among the worst selling gaming hardware in the country. The gaming console from Microsoft is the worst selling gaming hardware in Japan for 2018, according to the recent sales data. Microsoft managed to sell only 15,339 Xbox One units throughout the year. Since its release back in 2014, total Xbox One sales in Japan stand at 102,931. The latest Xbox One sales numbers truly paint the picture of Microsoft’s current state in Japan. Will the next Xbox change things? Well, it’s hard to say since games are what sell consoles and not empty PR words. Microsoft’s first-party exclusive line up has been the pinnacle of mediocrity this console generation. Games like Crackdown 3, Quantum Break, ReCore, and others didn’t manage to be commercially or critically successful. As a result, the … [Read more...] about Xbox One Sales Numbers Make It The Worst Selling Console In Japan For 2018
Tetris 99 might be the best battle royale yet
Really? Do I really, honestly, truthfully, hand on heart believe that Tetris 99, a free-to-play spin on an age-old classic that stealth dropped on Nintendo Switch last week, is the measure of established behemoths such as Fortnite and PUBG as well as the hyper-polished, brilliantly playable current darling Apex Legends? Well yes, I do - partly because I'm still in that honeymoon period, partly because, well, it's Tetris. And it's just as smart and exciting a spin on that beloved formula as last year's Tetris Effect. Mostly, though, I love it for the sheer audacity of it all. Tetris 99 is like a joke someone made on Twitter - I'm not even sure it's a joke that banged all that much, and probably didn't get more than half-a-dozen likes - that Nintendo and developer Arika then ran with and made absolutely shine. Arika knows its stuff when it comes to tetrominoes, of course, having crafted hard-edged classics such as The Grand Master series for arcade (revered as some of the best Tetris … [Read more...] about Tetris 99 might be the best battle royale yet
