The problem I have is the time it takes to morph the starting terrain when I make a landscape. Iโm just seeking a faster way to make the island

A Brushify alternative
Something more budget friendly

Iโm not a coder that good. I can mostly do HTML

You don't need a code to make an island.
median wraith
you don't need to be coder, the engine comes with that, that pack comes with heightmaps
foggy sluice
Iโm watching the YouTubeโs as I go to learn. Iโm a quick learner
median wraith
make heightmaps for the landscape procedural tools
foggy sluice
Iโll look into those on the marketplace
cursive crypt
You are on good road if you consider searching the marketplace and lookup good tutorials on how to make a landscape / terrain. Tutorials, preferably from Epic themselves.
median wraith
Pack the 20 pack and learn yourself
the rest are heightmaps and models
yeah but that isn't something he wants at all, the project examples come with that

Most of UE4 are transferable, but UE5 has new tools for landscape and worlds. Therefore, choose at least 5.x tutorials.

they have like a little extra more info per area, so they can project shadows, wish we had something alike
@trail ore there is a lib called Raylib have interesting tools as base for engines etc
there was other but I don't remember the name

Iโm confused.. UE advertises they support all software (PC Android IOS PSN Xbox etc) but I canโt find the console option.. It says Iโm only making it for the PC, Is this due to having to pay Sony and Microsoft for a dev kit? Or is it just me being dumb?
proud jay
you need to apply for console development yes
all that stuff is behind NDA
@foggy sluice
proud jay
it's not that costly
depending on what your budget is
but you can still port later on
foggy sluice
I got toddlers that cost a lot so Iโve been budgeting about 100-200 a month for this project
Which went towards premium plugins and scripts
Iโll look into it though because I want it on all platforms at the end
proud jay
well it's not like it's any different for other engines if it's a solace
you all need approval
but once you get it it's quite easy to set up
the annoying thing would be fixing console specific issues
carmine frigate
you can build for android and linux without any, havent tried the rest
river sable
it's not that costly
how much is it for a ps5 devkit? and how likely is it to receive one for your first indie project? I heard the process was quite strict / it was difficult to get a devkit?
proud jay
I don't recall how much it was tbh
I didn't pay for it
I just worked with it
and ps4 gen
I think xbox gave you a device to test for free though

not more than 1-2k โฌ I would imagine?
proud jay
don't think so
river sable
have you ever heard anything about how hard it is to get one? do teams get rejected often / at all?
proud jay
no idea tbh, it was the first game of the studio, but we had some connections

I see, yeah thanks!
oh interesting, yeah that's good to know
thank you, yeah I haven't looked into anything in depth at all - we haven't even really decided if we're going to make a full game yet ๐ was just curious

Patents associated with MP3 usage expired in April 2017 according to the Fraunhofer IIS website which states that "on April 23, 2017, Technicolor's mp3 licensing program for certain mp3 related patents and software of Technicolor and Fraunhofer IIS has been terminated." Gary McGrath on his Mad File Format Science blog has a informative series of posts about the demise of MP3 licensing, and Wikipedia provides more information about the history and impact of MP3 patents. Historically, various authorities cited a number of patent claims associated with MP3; see for example A Big List of MP3 Patents (and supposed expiration dates) although the practical impact of these claims is not clear.
cursive crypt
for certain mp3 related patents
But this is kinda good news. Or was, before the rise of streaming.
I suppose it even shrunk its usage due to all this new formats.

i think there was a time where mostly hardware decoders and encoding have been affected?!

by the time he got to noise->RNG, my brain had kersploded. Which is impressive since most of what he said went over my head anyways
he's talking something about hash functions and the only hash I know of is the drug
these words are familiar to me, I know they exist, but I dont understand them or what they're for
unreal ether
its a function that makes a hash brown

those are good.

If only my cat had ever done anything that useful.
If she did eat a spider, she'd probably just cought it up on my bed.

My cat used to do that, multiple times ever summer.
I think she's just too lazy to catch them now. Or to even go outside.

Hello everyone! We are currently developing a game, and we would appreciate it immensely if you could spend 2-3 minutes to answer our survey to help our game dev journey, I promise it's short! https://forms.office.com/r/GEKt0CP1Br
Thank you in advance ๐

it's a strange survey

dont think I have to worry about blowing out doubles for my universe

It loses precision at the far ends pretty badly.
pearl elk
yeah Ive scaled the black hole to a best guess, I'll end up fudging it so it all fits nicely in a double. Thankfully this is just a starmap so mostly UI and not part of the real-time gameplay
thats why I ended up doing 1uu=1km
I'll end up fudging some of the radii for artistic purposes

The only problem of me following 8 hours every day working ethic of Lex right now is:
I don't have a source of external enjoyment, not like lex, he got guitar as side hobby, so he feel joy between each session
I don't really like playing any musical instrument, so i just go watch some comedy youtube or movie
but that sound not very sustainable for the long run, so i may need to figure something else.
I have some options left:
1. Watch something, but that is not sustainable because of Good movie run out.
2. Play video game is a ban for me, because i have a heavy addiction with math and video games , and sometimes i could spent a whole month learning and trying to become pro at some certain game, even though i don't want to be a pro player. For that, i would rather let myself not playing video games at all.
3. I very like** novel writing**, but the journey to serious novel writing is another painful learning curve just like unreal engine stuff. Plus, i have no academic english so if i want to read any novel, would just be a lot of learning english as well XD
Any opinions on what to do in the free time that help the game dev journey?
