It sounds like you're looking for "per-pixel lighting" Previous/lower-spec shading modes often used "vertex lighting" where the shading function was evaluated only at the vertices of each triangle an …

"Developer" is sometimes used as another term for "programmer," where it helps emphasize that creating software involves more than writing code. This association of developer = programmer is particula …

I think asking for assets/asset sites is off-topic, but there's a glimmer of an on-topic question here about asset terminology. ("I don't know, what I can Google, or how these sounds are called.") …

In game design terms, HP, MP, and XP are all "resources" so we could call them "Resource Bars" collectively. If that's too abstract/designer-y, we could also try "Points Bars" since it encompasses hi …

Some options for an "outer" level: Group Set Stage Phase Tier (also suggests escalating value/difficulty) Folder (like a file system) Book Some options for an "inner" level: Puzzle Entry Challen …

I'm not aware of a specific term used for this kind of widget in UX/UI design specifically (the way we have names for the hamburger menu or kebab/dango menu) But searching for "cross handle" turns up …

Quoting the Wikipedia article on "Shaky Camera": Handheld camera, shaky cam, queasy cam, queasicam, run-and-gun or free camera is a cinematographic technique where stable-image techniques are purpose …

As Almo says, roles within game development vary quite widely from studio to studio, or sometimes even between projects for a single team. But there are common patterns. I think the closest equivalen …

Classic stealth is typically when you're using occlusion, camouflage, darkness, silence, disabling of detectors, and inanimate distractions (like throwing a rock to make someone look the other way) to …

I'm not aware of a standard term for this. Depending on how it's implemented, I might call it... "obstacle/occluder fade-out" if the object gains transparency all-over, evenly. Or "...dither-out" if …
