I am keen to see if Quixel can expand their Megascans library using generative AI
Even just being able to make a low poly mesh and going I want all that detail on this shape would be super useful
Megastamps 😛
Definitely solve some of those overdraw issues with kitbashing
but aye what do I know, just some rando lounge slacker
tulip orbit
I could definetely use some AI to generate my level art right now...
I dont even know what I'm doing, what direction I'm going in. just default boxes right now
pearl elk
you could take screenshots and use it as an input image to blend with your prompt
obviously thats only gonna give you concepts though
tulip orbit
it'd be nice if I even knew what prompts to give. mind is blank this morning 😦
also thinking I should focus on the gameplay, actually make something playable. Cause I am blank on ideas there too
tulip orbit
my ideation muscles have gone into atrophy 😦
pearl elk
yeah happened to Neo too
but eventually he woke up, saw a woman in a red dress and was inspired to fly
oh right... he took pills

do you have some pills for me?

my game started based off My Time at Portia, but was thinking more post apoc sci-fi ish, sorta cyberpunk/fallout4/outer planets in star wars ish. Then I was thinking about kinda combining the game with an older project, which was inspired by ultima4 and castle of the winds
tulip orbit
now I feel just completely lost, no idea what direction to go in. what the gameplay is going to be like...
tulip orbit
https://tenor.com/view/vfx-cghow-realtimevfx-unreal-engine-ue4-gif-26526482
cant see anything, its too cloudy
pearl elk
Well you gotta make choices to realise you made bad choices to then go back and make better choices
soft night
see inReal game engine on it full glory
pearl elk
you should have some design pillars which direct the decisions you make
Its the first thing I do, I usually choose 4 pillars but theres never a set amount. Too many is probably bad
tulip orbit
I think my pillars wandered off. I kinda had a goal, but its become muddied
soft night
tulip orbit
I guess, the main idea is still My time at Portia, but darker/grittier, and with the ability to be a dick
I hate that in most every game in the genre you have to keep talking/being nice/gifting the NPCs to get bonuses and such, and that everything is always so bright and cheerful
pearl elk
Heres an idea, why not make it so the players outlook changes depends on how they play. If they play dark the world gets darker, they see things as if you are bad but if youre good you see things more bright and happier...
but the dark and light characters stand out in each of the views
Damn I should be a game design 😛
celest musk
devs would hate you
tulip orbit
yeah kinda thought about having something like that. If you're evil and not helping the town, it'd start looking more rundown and such
celest musk
but if youre good you see things more bright and happier...
that sounds like being good is the bad choice here
pearl elk
yeah kinda thought about having something like that. If you're evil and not he...
Sounds like a great idea
unreal ether
So being good increases saturation, being bad decreases saturation
celest musk
yea, end of game you die
tulip orbit
I can also set blend values in the materials to blend between rustier mats and such
celest musk
because it got so saturated that you saw the light
soft night
getting some baddie npc respect by being darker?
pearl elk
maybe the baddie npc tries to take you out if youre too bubbly
tulip orbit
in a game like mtap, what would the player be doing to 'be evil'? in mtap the player makes money and get mats by doing commissions for the npcs, and helping them. So just not doing them would just hamper play
pearl elk
Theres a Dean Koontz book Twilight Eyes where people have this ability to see inside people, they can see the good or bad
tulip orbit
no they were literally demons
and the twilight eyes gave him the ability to see those demons
pearl elk
well there you go, you know what Im talkin bout
tulip orbit
yeah that was a fantastic book
pearl elk
I wouldnt have known he was bad if he didnt squash 2 peoples heads
tulip orbit
I cant even decide if I"m gonna do melee combat, or switch to guns 😦
unreal ether
He's not bad just misunderstood.
Or something like that, I've never watched the walking dead

guns would be easier to animate, cause I really suck at making melee animations 😄

Nali Fruit goes nice in a rice pudding

well its like so called "concept art", I think every art piece has a concept in itself, but some people felt the need to create another "art canon" out of the nowhere
Boomer shooters are the true gaming, simply put, boomer shooters are the real gaming experience, everything else is something that isnt true
I was thinking lately, since I have so many personal flaws and I am limited, I should probably pump up the graphics
carmine frigate
zinc matrix
If I am not up for the task of creating really highIQ game concepts, I should focus all my efforts on high graphics settings
or at the very least never limit myself
if I start limiting myself I lose the very few advantages I have

Hmm, games like my time at portia and whatnot all typically have a stamina system, run out of stamina and get it back by sleeping overnight. and have to sleep each night. always frustrated by the low stamina for the first half of the games, wonder if theres a different/better way to do it
zinc matrix
dont force player to sleep, but instead add insomnia that reduces stamina until you sleep, but it also makes sleeping harder
tulip orbit
heh, nice. But how to make it "harder to sleep"? typically its just hitting with the interact button on the bed and player sleeps for X hours
zinc matrix
force wake up every couple hours..
thin aspen
if bHasInsomnia return;
tulip orbit
hmm
thin aspen
once you get insomnia that's it, no more sleeping
or do something like skyrim and stamina = maxstamina/2
tulip orbit
instead of a sleep anim, could just show the player laying there in bed, eyes wide open, unable to sleep.
thin aspen
https://tenor.com/view/insomnia-cant-sleep-gif-16765397
or troll and use this when they have a good nights rest
play mind games with the player, keep them on their toes
tulip orbit
players will be kept on their toes enough "bug or feature?"
thin aspen
bug turned feature
- Have Stats
- Do Calculations
- FMath::RandRange(0.f, .01f) damage multiplier
or enemy randomly does the players total health in damage just for the lulz
tulip orbit
heh, I want the player to be a dick, not the game
zinc matrix
https://theforest.fandom.com/wiki/Bench then add something like this to your game but never tell players that it generates energy or stamina. just call it furniture

Here's to making him a hateable enemy that can satisfy player upon defeating him.

For my blog, my goal was to advoid being derived from a popular YouTuber or plagiarism someone else material. I did want to offer an oral history of video games. Of course, I wanted to make sure I offer proper context on "why I wrote this book in the first place." Try to educate most readers in case they don't know about the inspiration. That way, if/when they do get around reading my first indie novel, now they could easily get a good understanding of the big themes I'm trying to emulate. After that, I'm planning to get to the real nuts and bolts of creative writing technique. Everything from discussing 'The Hero Journey' and 'Break the 4th wall' scenario.

Im so glad Jake Paul got into fighting, these roasts are so entertaining
I was really surprised that Logan Paul is actually very entertaining to watch in WWE
At least the matches I saw he did pretty good
pearl elk
WWE was a smarter move, thats where celebrity really works but in MMA it doesnt win fights
foggy path
True. If you're a big enough muscular dude Vince is happy enough to put you in there even if you don't know how to wrestle lol
But like, Logan Paul actually did a fair bit of more acrobatically demanding stuff which is always fun to see
Seems he's put a fair bit of effort into it
pearl elk
As long as youre entertaining and the acrobatics and weapons are really what makes WWE fun in my eyes. I always liked Tables, Ladders and Chairs matches
foggy path
He's no Rey Mysterio but in any case lol
pearl elk
I doubt he's Randy Orton either 😛
foggy path
lol
He's a bit like some of the guys who got picked up from NXT who have a more acrobatic style
Would be nice to see guys like that get some more time because it's often the big burly guys who don't really do anything that interesting that get a lot of air time
pearl elk
big burly guys is most of the audience you see lol

lol yeah

I still remember when Goldberg fought Lesnar for the first time, how disappointed I was by that match
Theyre just too big so theres no stamina, match ended up being slow as hell

Lesnar is sometimes kinda entertaining but it really depends

Him and Goldberg are the same, theyre awesome when they come out and just explode taking everyone out but in actual matches not so good

Ive not watched much in the past years though, my friend likes the womens wrestling and apparently thats much bigger now with more belts
foggy path
Yeah I'm not really so up to date with it, I tend to watch the Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania mainly these days
It does seem they're putting more effort into the women's division, with at least some more interesting characters in there than just "oh look at me I'm catty and sexy"
like Asuka whose style in general seems a bit different
pearl elk
Probably more of a Judo background
foggy path
Yeah it seems the japanese ones stand out, same with Shinichi Nakamura
pearl elk
I still like Chyna, saw her win that Intercontinental title
Its one thing to hold the womens belt, its another to take one of the mens belts
foggy path
I'm not so familiar with her tbh but if she had a men's championship during when she was active that is definitely a pretty interesting move in general and shows how popular she must've been
pearl elk
She was one of the founders of D-Generation X
tbh in the early days she was more popular than Triple-H lol
Thats cuz Edge and Christian blew up
I think my favourite wrestler to watch was Kurt Angle of all people, just to see how his more traditional style would work against the others
foggy path
Yeah he was definitely one of the stars of that era
It was so funny when the audience kept shouting you suck at him when he got into the hall of fame lol
pearl elk
He got so mad about that but he kept coming out, holding his head high and getting the job done
I remember him abusing the crowd near the entrance a few times over it lol
and now its back to trying to work out how Im gonna do fog of war with raytracing on lol
foggy path
Oh did he actually get mad about it for real and not show reasons? lol
Now it mostly seems to just be a meme of sorts and everyone including him is in on the joke
pearl elk
Yup proper mad, people in the audience must have said some nasty shit and he's just snapped back when they went too far
Who knows maybe it was all set up, not uncommon for WWE to plant people in the audience
foggy path
haha
yeah who knows, the you suck chant in the hall of fame thing was definitely just for laughs and he didn't seem to mind it at all
I guess it's possible it started off as something mean, but now it's just part of his character and part of why the fans like him lol

I think it actually started with him saying you suck to other people all the time lol
