It really really blurs the lines between weapon types

supple apex
#

I need some new reaction memes.

edgy ice
#

oh it does blur the line, and i have no arguments about that

#

but we both agree it was poorly implemented

#

it was a gimmick, not a twist on the gameplay

#

thats all lol

sleek granite

Gimmicks are alright when they're fun options. But jesus christ wirebugs are incredibly detrimental to the experience of monster hunter (imo)

well since i've found a fellow in arms when it comes to monhun. I would like you to rate my current "first" project (thanks @ionic flame

if you've seen it, otherwise let me know i'll send a link

edgy ice

not for nothin, im wary of clicking links in public spaces

sleek granite

No worries i get it

its just a personal philosophy, i grew up on that 2000s internet ๐Ÿ˜›

i'll send a quick pic

oh my.

you can also search for our twitter handle @ PMythStudios

s a pretty cool idea

i see what you meant by monhun x BB

sleek granite

you're damn right about that

note that i said "first project"

im still struggling

You're right. I didn't

EA is pretty good in making money.

thats only because their target market is good with spending money

I would like to provide funding

isnt that patreon and kickstarter?

Thats crowdfunding

I'm looking at the actual corporate side of things

maybe try investing in a game publisher ๐Ÿ™‚

Blue Man Group is an American performance art company formed in 1987. It was purchased in July 2017 by the Canadian company Cirque du Soleil.

sleek granite
#

and that makes me sad. because i wanna make games.

supple apex
#

How good are you at playing the drums bm?

sleek granite
#

But sometimes I want to invest in games that I see here and there and have no idea where to approach them because emails aren't responded to and discord msgs are ignored, so this could be a good solution

#

For a small indie game with a great hook, 5000 dollars would go a long way

#

and 5000 dollars is an easy amount to raise

pearl elk
#

well there is alot more to it than just giving money, like contract ownership

sleek granite
#

But we can't discuss that if they don't even respond

pearl elk
#

discord is not really the place to discuss such things anyway Id say, thats why they have their DMs blocked

sleek granite
#

I never start a conversation by going "hey do you need X amount of dollars?"

#

I ask if they need financial, legal, and structural support

pearl elk
#

I mean just hiring an international lawyer to write up a contract can cost more than 5gs

sleek granite
#

then I give away contract templates too

#

(background in law btw)

pearl elk
#

thats kinda why we have crowdfunding

sleek granite
pearl elk
#

yeah this is already sounding dodgy to me, good luck

sleek granite
#

Thanks man, ofcourse its a majority vote

#

not trying to push some sort of scheme

pearl elk
#

its illegal here to tell someone they dont need a lawyer to look over a contract btw ๐Ÿ˜›

sleek granite
#

ofcourse u need someone to look at it

#

but paying 5gs for one is insane

#

pay em their rates to look over it

#

wont cost over 500 dollars for a real in depth look

cursive crypt
#

Don't tell me what to do, I can use that money for chair pillows.

pearl elk
#

international lawyers arnt the same as a person you pay to bail you out

#

5gs is cheap

sleek granite
#

Well in any case, a channel to discuss where to start looking for a publisher, or if anyone knows about any form of funding would probably be great too

pearl elk
#

local law applies but so does the local jurisdiction of the person youre signing the contract with

sleek granite
#

tho i predict it'll most probably be filled with "How do I apply for the EpicMegaGrant?"

sleek granite
pearl elk
#

some countries dont even recognise common law

sleek granite
#

and then agreed upon by both parties

cursive crypt
#

There are good pillows there, occasionally.

sleek granite
pearl elk
#

thats why Im not a lawyer

supple apex
pearl elk
#

thats not even touching international transactions and merchant accounts

sleek granite
#

yea that might work, although to test it I might have to risk a strike lmao

pearl elk
#

crowd funding solves alot of this or investing in an existing publisher with all these mechanisms in place

I shoulda taken the 5gs an ran right ๐Ÿ˜›

nah its the update called re:verse

I think it got stuck in endless reverse loop

deep copper
#

20 finger typing

proud jay
#

and it's still fast af

#

and has nice package manager

#

and has some functional support

#

but definitely the memory safety is the big selling feature

cursive crypt
#

Memory issues I have with UEs garbage collector. Hardly been an issue requiring more than a minute of a fix.
Package manager... That... controversial and ain't gonna work easy in such a big and sensitive environment as cpp is used
Functional support... Buzzword mostly, aint bad, but ain't critical

proud jay
#

the functional is definitely a nice to have

#

and I guess the packages just grow with usages, same with c++ libraries I guess

#

and about the memory, the thing is there is no garbage collector in Rust

#

that's the whole point

#

so you have extreme maximum speed and memory optimization

#

but yeah, if you don't have something where speed and memory safety is a major factor, definitely ignore Rust, cause those things come at a cost of developer experience

sleek granite

This whole time i thought they were referring to the game

it's like NuGet for C# kinda

cursive crypt

ok

pearl elk

but I dont like memory management or manually handling packages ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

sleek granite
#

my first day here i witnessed 2 bans, 3 strikes and one of them was me

cursive crypt
#

I mean, coming up with multiplatform, abi neutral, wide-spread, agreed on package manager ain't easy

proud jay
#

idk

#

seems to be working so far

cursive crypt
#

wtf I'm talking about they can't agree on abi, because corps and big players have their interest. Which ain't bad.

#

c# is sorry, but too limited

proud jay
#

lol

#

how so

cursive crypt
#

it can't compare with c++ in terms of target support

#

it barely has something working on linux likes, not sure about macos

proud jay
#

.NET is fully cross platform?

pearl elk
#

you say that but getting that support from C++ costs alot of programmers time

cursive crypt
#

As of late. Microsoft only interested in.

proud jay
#

it used to be shit with .NET Core, but now everything is just .NET

pearl elk
#

I would argue if any other language had that sort of grit behind it, it would feature match C++ and then some

cursive crypt
#

.net is not so muiltiplatform, nor so many targets are supported for with. Nor so many corps (and their interest) agree on.

Lets see how Googles crabon arise

maybe thats what we need is a stripped down version of C++ called --C

cursive crypt

What is ++ on 3rd degree

++ -> # -> ?

supple apex

yeah but in this case the -- comes before C

that way it cleans up some old C stuff too

are you making the pizza, or adding toppings to a frozen za?

what is this madness

fluid bloom

because VS

proud jay

VSCode does it though ๐Ÿ˜ญ

VSCode is so much nicer to work with imo, only the intellisense is better in VS

working on non unreal project btw, to clarify

fluid bloom

I find vscode too mouse oriented

and it doesn't have a documentation tool window like intellij idea does ๐Ÿ˜›

proud jay

wdym too mouse oriented

I has shortcuts for like everything

noble plaza
proud jay

ctrl shift p is command pallet

ctrl p is just file search

tbh if VS had that fast file search it would already be way nicer

cant deny vs is heavy, if vsc gets more features, it may become as much heavy.

oh wait that's my fin layout keyboard, might not make sense to others ๐Ÿ˜„

there's ctrl + q, which is fast, but the results are garbage

the only useful thing in VS is ctrl + T to find symbols

It costs 15 dollars to generate about 100 images on Dall-e 2.0

If you're trying to tweak the result just right it's not great I think

It's a lot more predictable in how changing the prompt affects the result at least in my experience vs Midjourney which also has a similar pricing model iirc, so at least that's positive about it

Python + C++ most probably

foggy path

dalle 2.0 is obviously a lot bigger model than mini (and probably bigger than midjourney) so it will probably require more hardware

noble plaza

DE Mini requires 20+ GB VRAM IIRC
I'm a scrub when it comes to the upper tier NN stuff, but wonder if shared memory (SAM/ reBAR) would allow NNs to use the RAM as well

It sounds slow as fuck however, considering how the work requires a lot of memory bndwidth

It's a bit annoying how windows based machines on AWS are always billed by the hour

noble plaza

As opposed to Graviton?

I was messing around with some UE screenshotting stuff using an AWS GPU instance

cursive crypt
#

Have you tried.... Linux?

foggy path
#

it would take a few minutes tops to run but it always bills you for the full hour because that's how Windows hosts are billed

noble plaza
#

Oh Windows, I for some reason thought it was x64 related

foggy path
#

There was some reason the linux option wasn't gonna work... partially because I don't have a crosscompile toolchain setup for it and I don't think it'd even work lol

noble plaza
#

What's the workload?

foggy path
#

Huh?

noble plaza
#

Is this for a ML related task? Guessed that due to the context of the previous convo, but not sure

foggy path
#

oh nah

#

just run my game, take a screenshot, exit

#

(and upload screenshot to elsewhere)

noble plaza
#

Oh right, that's a cool task though, could also add some functional testing in the meanwhile ๐Ÿง 

foggy path
#

Yeah the idea was to have it procgen some stuff and just take screenshots of that basically

#

I have a basic system which generates random video tape box art and stuff like that, so just wanted to have something that would automatically do that say once a week and post it on twitter for fun

#

I got it mostly working but then I didn't do the twitter posting part of it because I got bored of fiddling with it lol

noble plaza
#

The Twitter posting is probably the easy part TBH. Just dump them to some accessible cloud folder, at the end of your Friday or whenever take a look, pick the best one and post it with a caption. Can capitalise on trends and the likes that way too

proud jay

ew, manual labour

I wasn't even gonna look at which of them was good lol

If I was gonna look at them before they got posted I could just do it manually from the start lol

My other friend I work on that with activated on it again so made some progress on that

noble plaza
#

I've landed on digging a perspective that's in-between third person and isometric, and I don't know what to call it (or where to look at other games for 'case study')

#

I think OG Witcher had something similar in combat, but that combat was... weird

proud jay
#

wait, but third person can perfectly be isometric

#

they're not really related

#

how can it be in between then

noble plaza
#

Third person as in Witcher 2 & 3, Dark Souls, God of War (new), etc. Over the shoulder views

proud jay
#

yeah

#

but isometric is just not perspective

#

so you could have isometric over the shoulder

noble plaza
#

Oh yeah, not going to even try the ortho projection, would look wacky

proud jay
#

wait so what does it look like?

#

what do you mean by isometric then?

#

that sideways top down view?

noble plaza
#

Like this, you can rotate sideways but that's it. Maybe add zoom scrolling

noble plaza
proud jay
#

I don't really think that's called isometric

#

but I get what you mean

#

so how does it work, like this when running around and over shoulder in combat?

noble plaza
#

Not properly no, which is why I'm not sure what it could be called. It's not over the shoulder either, since you can't change the vertical angle

#

Nah it's this throughout, zooms out when you're running though

noble plaza
sleek granite
#

Maybe something like orcs must die?

pearl elk
#

isometric projection is where there are no vanishing point like perspective projection

cursive crypt
#

ta-dadada

sleek granite
#

wait that just regular 3rd person

noble plaza
#

Like people call Diablo III isometric, but it's got perspective distortion. Ortho is nicer for 2D though

#

At this point it seems to just refer to either projection with the 30 degree vertical angle

cursive crypt
#

damn gamers

proud jay
#

dumb ass gamers

noble plaza
#

For isometric? I think it originally was a lot more than that. 30 degree downwards angle, faces all at 45 degree angles if not running along the camera line, ortho projection, and probably some other things.

Minutiae are harder to tell from the distance and projection properties of more elevated cameras.

sleek granite
#

Could create that experience with a dynamic camera that zooms in during combat

#

if its too "personal" at all times it might feel claustrophobic

noble plaza
#

Ah fair, yeah that makes sense. Ortho is infinite distance, zero FOV basically, so big distance/ low FOV does seem like the logical in-between point ๐Ÿค”

we can't see each other really while doing that

either way it's a no

Maybe not being able to see is a core tenet of hugging, since it demonstrates you trust the person enough to get close to them while not being able to see them
