QB64 REPORT S01E03: "A QB64 game on Steam?"
« on: July 01, 2020, 05:12:02 pm »
Here's the third episode of QB64 Report, our podcast on all things QB64. In this episode, "A QB64 game on Steam?".

@Cobalt and I talk to Jared Hoffa. He wrote 486, a really cool game written in QB64 that is now available on Steam. This episode packs some goodies, make sure to check it out.

You can catch it on all major podcast providers or listen straight from http://podcast.qb64.org

Another interesting episode!   Great to hear of a commercial product made in QB64.   Lol Fillippe, I'm another member of the "Can you make money with it?" from the wife club.  If I had a dollar every time I've heard that I'd sure make some money.

Thanks for another podcast.  Looking forward to the next one on TCP/IP with Luke!

Thank you so much, @Dav! The members of that club sure think alike 😂

    It loks like fun and it's good to see QB64 actually being used in the real world. I'd sure love to see the model load/render code though.

    As far as I can tell, Jared is not a member(?), but would he like to have 486 referenced in Games here?  It would esssentially be an advert for his game (486 the game: https://486thegame.com/).  Could we ask him?

    Hey everyone!

    I'm the guy who created "486" the game mentioned on S01E03. Really appreciate seeing all the positive feedback!

    Feel free to post my game/links on here. The more people who play the better!

    @runningonjava There he is! Welcome to the forum, Jared.

    @Qwerkey There's your reply ;-)

    @Ashish Thank you!

    @Unseen Machine You will see that Jared actually exported videos from Unity, not the actual models.

    @runningonjava Hi, I help with the Library (Games and Samples sections) here.  We'll be delighted to feature 486 in Games.  In the next few days I'll be contacting you via Forum Messaging (see My Messages), so I hope that you'll be able to keep an eye out for that.  Thanks, Qwerkey.
