ah, ok, from what I can tell, its a fairly standard WFC algo and could potentially create some interesting levels. But like most WFC algos, you're starting from an empty map. However I already have a layout of the world, and I'm just trying to generate the walls to be more interesting
I should probably actually try it out tho, just to see. but not sure if it would fit the specific parameters of my project, without starting from scratch
I think my next task tho will be to move the map gen code into a plugin to a) decouple it from future game code and b) make it so I can put it in other projects if/when desired
but first, I need a nap

Mass Effect Andromeda is better
yee but this is cheating
frostbite supported origin shifting before andromeda
their engine is build around these things
chrome gull
outer worlds was starfield before starfield was starfield.
I at least didn't feel cheated after playing that game
epic gave the complete editon of TOW for free a few days ago, I'm planning to play it soon
pearl elk
I mean I know Mass Effect Andromeda wasnt the best RPG but it had solid shooting, decent planet exploration and while its loading screens were annoying there wasnt as many

I still haven't played Skyrim AND The Witcher 3, no interest in fantasy 😦

also this is quite the opposite of what epic does

yeah deffo lol, wanted to put it in quotes myself
here
it's "optional" and effective from their next build
LTS
whatever
that was a "gift"?
celest musk
Don't forget tho, by opting for that you are agreeing to the new terms. Sticking with older versions such as 2022lts means you have to use the splash screen, but are not subjected to any runtime fee.
also could be a trap actually
i guess they still removed the clause that they can't change the TOS
so once everyone switched to 2023 LTS they can push the install fee again 😄
