why do we have nukes btw
is it to reset progress of all factions
by causing nuclear winter?
like if I couldnt close the gap between others
nukes have many purposes, but the biggest is ||blow up alien invasion armies||
oh I see
yep, theyll eventually go full independence day
i realized
my mission is not to make servants and resistance/humanity fight
my mission is ensure those idiots survive against servants
they are so weak
humanity has Russia, resistance is taking a bit parts of EU and unifying countries
build them up then. gift them stations, ships and resources for money ofcourse
yeah the AI loves to go after EU
exodus is the biggest problem right now
oh ||theyll do more than that||
so basically the TI factions can be put on a line
Humanity first>Resistance>Academy>Initiative<Exodus<Protectorate<Servants
every time the game says "X has moved towards extreme goals" means they move along this line
augh. my bitmasking for my walls is not working. just switching to the existing 8dir bitmask makes every outside corner the same number. if I get rid of a check it does so that each corner will be different, then I get 3+ values for the same pieces.
We will need much more to even understand wdym.
I like the second option
the walls in my map up to this point use a tile bitmask to determine what type of mesh it is to place, like if its a straight wall facing north, or an outside corner facing west. the bitmask op I've been using only checks the 4 cardinal directions, and so it doesnt have a tile for the outside corner. Trying to make it use an 8 direction check, but nothing I'm getting is very good results
trying something. project also locked up for some reason I think I figured out the reason, hope I fixed it
crud. Even if it does work, still going to have issues. In each square there, bottom right is the bitmask value, pink ones are the wall cells, 0 is the what I'm trying to fix, but even if I fix that, 5 isnt going to work for me.
helpful if I post the screenshot
and the little particles under the 21,30, is where its spawning a particle effect in some random freaking spot for no reason
its supposed to spawn on one of the room cells, but doesnt seem to like the mesh I have it attached to
bah, going to bed. think about it later
proc gen dungeons. generating a layout in a 2d grid, and this part takes the grid of empty/floor/walls and displays the meshes. My current system doesnt allow for inside corner meshes, so like in my screenshot where the pink number says 0, if the connecting walls are inset or something, there could be a gap there. so I'm either limited in the shape of the meshes, or it looks like I'm going to end up going from 5 types of meshes, to probably 13
turns out... discord really doesn't like me switching the vpn off and on π€£
nice
I just got a new rog ally, if I had friends interested in playing TRS2 I would buy it to them 
Does it run ue5? (serious question)
Day 137 of sending cool Houdini stuff to my bf and being like "wow, this is so cool. the people who can make this stuff are just the coolest"
Day 137 of your bf reading the msg and carrying on with whatever he was doing π
(jokes)
use 2factor and they ignoring this message
I should load up a thinkpad with only 400 copies of Houdini and give it to him
yeah already do on all my stuff
nice, so you should not getting anymore this message
Chatgpt wouldn't let me in the other day because it wouldn't believe I was human
chatgpt not useful, use the documentation as it is limited to 2022 ant this is only ue 4 not 5
Ahh yes, the documentation for neofuturism 80s hiphop
Also no, it's updated to like aug 2023 now
if you pay
paid version
Yeah, I use it a lot to reformat my thoughts into a more understandable version
but i dont see a reason to pay to unlock just 50 more messages and some little updated data
there are alot more ai designs that may also work better then chatgpt
For specific stuff, yeah
But I use it very generally
I don't need an ai that analyzes spreadsheets or pulls insights from big data or generates textures or whatever. I use it like ideas google
speaking of GPT
GPT3.5 turbo API is getting dirt cheap
and it was already very cheap before
But like the AI is racist against its own kind, itβs weird π
are you a human? π§
no I'm dancer
Straight or woman version 2: Electric boogaloo
PHONE BAD.netflix
anyone here happen to have the original paragon game from epic games?
sick
which gundam is that
its not an astray or a wing
what series is that
i dont recognize the chest plate either
and these round shapes are strange
fuck thats sick
huh
its not on crunchy
or netflix
lol
I CANT WATCH IT
The least successful Gundam series
Swapped back from Rider to VS and omg the default font is the terrible
I just threw in Jetbrains Mono
not like its comic sans
I absolutely hate the colors though
Trying to find the "can you be a bit brighter?" button
the great theme https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Marcelino-Jorge-Romero.midnight-purple-2077-theme
Also decided to try copilot
the preview have fluentUI as vs ui refresh
UP
"Oh, you want UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadOnly, Category = Input, meta = (AllowPrivateAccess = "true"))?"
And for some reason tab is like "yes :)" instead of filling in UPROPERTY
βββββββββ’β£β‘β
Yeah, there's the regular fonts and regular fonts NL
Figured out NL means No Ligatures
Watch zeta Gundam you heathen
Everyone to me, everyday
Thats alot of white space
Oh god that's so hot
you have 3.5 mins to read it all
I used to have a trimmed down version of Megafunk's MASS page that would fit into chat gpt just so it could lie to me
It was an adequate duck though
It isn't chat gpt? π’ ||someone told me to use chatgpt when i asked for help in #cpp ||
It cant
The ROG Ally graphics processor is rated for 8.6 TFLOPS of precision points. With this data and its several performance benchmarks, we can comfortably say that it bears a striking similarity to the GTX 1650 Super graphics card from Nvidia.
it has 16gb ram and heats a lot
you can open UE5 but cant do anything
most people cant do anything in UE5 anyways so that works
cant doing anything is better than trying to debug BPVM on shipping build because someone used livecoding on a BPFL class
anti gravity coding?
aww
it runs terra invicta though
wait, these are the specs of one of the machines i use
but controls are not set for touchscreen so I couldnt navigate around earth
so uninstalled
and it runs ue5
space combat would have been a nightmare with unoptimised touch screen
good call
it runs RE2 on high settings though
it was surprising
gyro works a bit iffy, thats the only issue of that machine
i never use gyro anyway so that doesnt bother me. hmmm, might get this thing
lol
good luck shooting zombies on RE games
without aim assist at least
gyro is a must
im buying it so i can do some light dev work with ue5 when i cba to go sit at my desk XD
you can buy 5 Turkish programmers for 23$, paying that to a cooler sounds expensive
good and cheap gang!
i wouldnt want to work on terra invictus' AI systems
sounds so complex with a lot of data
probably most boring job ever
it'd be funny if thats the case
Oh, that's nothing. Cooler Master is casually using superconductors
https://www.coolermaster.com/the-power-of-superconductive-composite-heat-pipes/
just wait till your hear about the Chinese nuclear battery which lasts for 50 years
thats 50 without a recharge
there's a battery somewhere thats been ticking along for an absurdly long time lol. forgot the number but probably around a century
it somewhere in the UK
VR is gonna get such amaze with that type of battery
use sun as battery and claim you made the best battery ever 
the sun will run out though, terrible battery π
hopefully humanity will run out before the sun
@empty dune am I suppose to destroy those alien bases
idk about initiative but the resistance and HF goals involve that, yes
how do i even win
it just said exploit alien invasion
sounds a bit too ambigious
like.. if I am powerful enough do I even care if aliens take over the world?
are you doing your story researches?
yes
I only took initiative because I like chaos, but I am disappointed tbh, aliens and servants are too powerful and I have to fight with them alone
keep doing that, eventually youll learn the war goal
wanna see how many people offed an alien? XD
offed?
why arent you leading atleast one global tech slot?
because the black baby is really an alien
||R E D A C T E D||
idk why its useful
and they always win over me
i only managed to win once
||dont regret clicking anyway >:(||
== floats?
Is there something I'm missing about this
I just told raindust yesterday never to do that
so there's two benefits to leading the tech slots. One is if you lead, you get a big bonus to chance of unlocking engineering projects. and second is, you can guide the world to where you want them to go, usually aligned with your war goal. so as initiative you'd probably want the best space economy where as the servants would want humanity to waste time researching nonsense so that they can make it easier for the aliens
yeah it even fixed a big bug
stack bonuses. you get a lot of bonus from interface stations on low earth orbit
or you could use NearlyEquals
Yeah, I'll just do that
i have 15 boosts
should I fire 10 more
and use other 5 to build modules?
no one fires new stations so far
so i didnt too
do you have a mine in space yet?
um.. no I guess
yeah first build a mine. preferably on mars but the moon works as well
sending shit from earth is costly
water is the worst offender
you 100% want your water usage to be from you mining income, not sent from earth
check the habitat menu, its at the top bar, right next to the manage nations menu
itll show you everything
there's no stealth is space
Is that a f TAA? The blur... π₯
WITHOUT TELLING ME
AAHAHAHAHAHAH
ahahhahahahahha
this is
HILARIOUS
im cackling lmao
it would have been funny if they reached jupiter as well
Is HP some kind of like built in attribute or something, or is this like deep black magic
yes to both
This is GAS
dammit slow internet
Sets shouldn't have prebuilt funcs.
Setting a Set
... to sit.
Sit to set a setting of a set.
not all grammers are pro
Fatality
Feels like someone went and did some shenanigans in c++ again. Guess it's a good chance to try out copilot "can you explain this"
kinky
After looking into things a bit more, is this normal? This like macro chicanery
It's very cool and useful but like ugh
The ATTRIBUTE_ACCESSORS macro generates them for you
deal
do I get to not work and rest at house everyday?
padding? how do you mean?
the 0 on screen was my initial concern, but seeing how the cell marked 5 is, I would have holes in the wall at that point too. if I keep the meshes to be the full cell width, I'd have to create all the junction spots. Or... I could subdivide the cells and get a bitmask for each quadrant in the cell
5 wall mesh types, straight, corner, U shaped, double sided and a solid 4 sided mesh. Floors and ceilings are seperate
this is the spot shown above, without the debug data or ceilings,
ignore the zfighting on the floors, was testing some landscape stuff
I still don't understand, but from my pov, it looks there is no plan to begin with.
The tiling should be clear at this point. Check on some existing ones if needed.
and execute instructions incorrectly...
Oodle Data decompression because unlike most gameplay, simulation, audio or rendering code, decompression needs to perform extra integrity checks to handle accidentally or maliciously corrupted data,
So, uhm, everything other listed can execute incorrect instructions without giving af?
i even bet that this super often happens but people just don't notice it
which can, when creating content be a pita, had faulty memory once and it only showed in the result of engine compiles because they where garbage
if you edit an image and some bits flip in memory and you save it, you may end up with a color shifted pixel which you don't even notice

lol
I am sure I can cook faster. π
That being said, this is fun in a way. It reminds me of the days I used to wait for a render to finish in 3ds Max.
25 packages remaining and I need to sleep. πͺ
Almost nodded off at the table. π
5 remaining. If only there was a missile for this countdown.
I'm working on a little plugin to make it easier to do common tasks when working on UE projects... Anyone wanna give me any feedback? Would you find this useful or nah? https://zomgmoz.tv/unreal/Plugins/zomg's-editor-addons
Just pondering whether it'd be worth the effort to put on the marketplace
I would have preferred a more succinct style. Also mix text and images, to see which matches what.
Also elaborate, or at least expand the types of arrays used in the Properties. Brings more info.
Yeah the images are kinda clunky to embed into this page generator lol
But in general just the features, do they sound useful?
Personally I do find them quite handy but it might just be me
If I can understand well, it is mostly about putting manually your custom stuff into custom categories for Place Actor/New Asset/Actor Details?
Yep, I'm still tweaking the specifics of how they get configured but that's the gist of it
Hmm... To be fair, not sure. When I place, I always type what I want to find. For the Actor Details, it is easy to put everyhing in a custom category anyway.
Yeah but the category still ends up somewhere random in the panel which always annoyed me
That is true. But iirc it was based on some default sorting? You can play with the Cat name π
Not sure, I never quite figured it out if it sorted it in some order. I just force the categories you specify to be first which is a lot more convenient than naming them AAAMycategory or whatever it might be lol
Anyway, I would put it as kinda okayish, minor help. If the set up is complicated tho, it will get even further behind.
However, for a cheap price, I think you may have some hits.
Yeah I was thinking 10 dollars tops, unless I add a few more features into it
I will suggest working on the presentation.
For sure, this is literally the first version I put together. I'll take your advice and rearrange it and include more details on the specific features, that'll definitely make it easier to gather some more feedback also :)
And everything works. π
Well, it's been a profitable learning session. Now, FINALLY to sleep. π€
the blue one looks about as enthusiastic as I would be
Even my watch is surprised that I'm working out lmao
I cannot use those watches: heart range is 30s to 40s at rest and like 190ish max while full exertion like biking or physical therapy. They always scream at me
I had to disable slow heart rate alerts π
mine drops to 50 ish at rest
You understand π€£ Like idk medical machines are not made for athletes or athletic heart rates
If I wasn't told by my doctor that I'm fine I would probably be panicking lol
My resting is usually around like 52-55, 49 happened when I was dead tired
Oh the doctors were concerned at first because they did not believe a 260 lb person was as athletic as I was(lost like 100 lbs in a year in uni) but confirmed I was fine
Twas just a swimmer that ate too much π€£
My heart rate can drop below 30 occasionally; why I'm not allowed to sleep in out patient because staff thinks I'm coding
oh yeah for me it was like "you are on the skinny side, that's fine", the doctor literally shrugged
Seeing the 0 concern he had made me pretty confident it's normal for me lol
What every single doctor told me is that lower heart rate is desired if you don't have negative side effects
(I did full heart checkup recently which all turned out good)
Yes, basically they said they same to me after finding 0 negatives
No concern but definitely funny when all these things started including heart rate sensors
lol
I wore the monitor thing for 24 hours, that showed lowest heart rate of something like 32 for a few minutes in deep sleep, which they were also not concerned at all about so I guess it's fine lol 
Yup, Olympic level heart rate without being an Olympian or major athlete is relatively rare.
I think it's genetically in my case, I used to be very active, parkour, etc... until fortnite came out in 2017 lol
But my dad has low heart rate as well so it feels like genetics probably
(for context I blacked out 2 years ago, did every possible heart exam I could which all turned out good, it was vasovagal syncope)
Idk what happened with me. My family has heart size issues on one side that skipped me
any heart issues have been one of my worst fears for the last 2 years π
I could see that π For me, I am worried about "What's the maximum?"
when I was doing the tilt table test if you know what that is my nerves were already pretty bad, I was there laying down with the HR of like 140.... then they gave me something that dilates blood vessels and speeds up heart rate, no clue what it was called but it's meant to intentionally put you in the worst possible case to provoke a syncope, my heart rate reached 196 π
And stayed there until the test was done, that was not fun lol
190s is where I sit when I bike full speed; it's a rather weird feeling π
it doesn't feel good π
yeah it's hard to feel distinct beats, it's more like a contiguous weird movement feeling in the chest
Got a bpm of like 190s in a match of the Finals a few weeks ago; twas a stressful game π€£
π
I do sometimes get PVCs (skipped beats) from adrenaline, which I was also told was pretty normal, but that ain't fun either lol
Whats up heart throbs
Copilot is like having an exponential multiplier for my coding skills. Unfortunately my coding skills are at like 0.5
Well at least youβve moved up from ChatGPT
gas macros are mostly found in beans
0.5 * 0.7 = 0.35
0.5^2 = 0.25

I've been learning sculpting and I'm trying to sculpt a whole mewtwo
But the more I sculpt, the better I get, so there's like a gradient of bad -> better
mewtwo?
yeah, the pokemon
Ah... sculpting is fun, when you have the time.
Yeah, takes way longer than I expected
Z?
yeep
The best one. I havent upgraded since they were bought tho π€
I don't think anything has changed since 1999
Sure it is. It was just something I discovered for myself.
What I have so far. Just starting on the legs, need to do the arms, and go back and redo the head
I don't know the source, but it looks nice π
Trying to take one piece through the entire sculp->retopo->texture->rig->animate process
Well, there is still work to be done. Is it a fan project?
I think the only issue I really have is that I didn't really pick a good subject where baking high poly details into a lower poly model makes much sense
He real smooth
Add something creative? Scales, runes or something might do well.
Scales could be an idea
Armor, a clothe or something might do well too. Will bring some baking fun.
I think a cool cloak would be cool
I don't think he ever has a cool cloak, but that will help hide my amateurish animations
That will up the difficulty a lot imo, but you do you π
Start with something sticking to it. You will figure out the more complex stuff later.
I thought about the armored mewtwo from the first movie
but I'm going to be happy if I can keep the chest piece from deforming
Welp... Looks like 1 more year and I can start planning early retirement

The closer I crawl to 30 the more depressing it gets π
lol, wait for a decade or two to understand more
Imagine the will these ppl have to continue while they are failling apart.

It's just my existential crisis that comes to visit regularly every few days
We are basically squishy meat blobs piloting a meat sack mech that slowly falls apart over time with a cruel joke of being aware of this process

I sadly saw that image of the nervous system separated from the rest of the... Stuff π₯²
Lmao
My nervous system is just vibing until Riot MMO
Yeah, but it was mostly like side peoples doing Forge and non-mainline product peoples
And a bunch of artists
I hopped on to play TFT the other day and there's like 4 billion skins between LoL and TFT
So I could definitely see them having more artists than they needed. There was just so many skins
Burried under 1,600 LoL skins and 500 TFT skins, there's actually two games in there
<_<
ageism. punches shoulder
pro tip, be a slob now, so you can workout in your 50s and be stronger than you ever were
ok, but just a little, so you'll still make gains then and not feel depressed
nice

its quite fun, loads of neat strange tracks.
haha
you can see all the tracks and listen to em, right?
odds are, that is correct XD
yes, because there isnt enoigh soul sucking going on.
true
tell me, what will find in the 30s ?
my sympathies
wait, aren't those under the waterfalls ?
the 20's, but better. way better. at least, for me.
20s are shit
-Source, me
that's true, but the ones at the end of the rainbow require me to dance, that's a pending task to me
well going 31 this year, so far it started as the 20s but with almost all the knowledge DLCs
i said the same thing about my late teens π₯Ή
i could do a few less character development moments tbh, little more nap time would be great
god ill be 29 in 6 months
ew
who cares though
on it boss man
ew grandpa
i do, i have no other choice π
ok, but why is it ew
why is your old age threshold your actual age+2?

point stands
because my observation of old people is relative to me
if I am 7, someone that is 18 is old
if I am 27, someone that is 18 is young
@proud jay did you received the new mount ?
what?
lmao such a left field comment

wasn't those called like that on RPGS ?

and less f*cks to give.
oh is a new thing
Yes it has dashboard skins lol
New and affordable (they say)
this is a city car yeah, I mean looks good if you want that for such purpose
my car is taking each day more fuel, on city it goes up near 12l
on the highway goes down to the normal of 7 -8L
cars used to cost about 10k less than that by 2008 here
sadly our income didn't do a x2
Yeah, insane prices
the day I did 1100km had to stop x2 times, the first to charge the tank, and almost at the end another time, going on ECO
in an electric car that travels don't think will be the same
neither an hybrid as takes even more fuel due have to reacharge itself
I didn't know you could go negative
You could start taking fucks in. Start a shelter, reduce the suffering of orphaned fucks
I was so upset on my last 600km I didn't stop once reached home π€£
but yeah here is recommended to stop each 2h
or 200km
luckily my electric car should go 500km+ on one charge
but I would never drive that in one go
my gas car used to do like 900km, but after 2 years it only gets to like 750km anymore
or my driving has just gotten a lot worse
or I've been using shit fuel
are the cars made on purpose
pretty sure they don't make cars accidentally
We still love the cars equally
yeah is so accidental my car does less km since they had the first year check
but half of europe doesn't have anything like that. we have only 2 superchargers, and the charger network sucks
Hyperloop when
just move to the good half lol
here the seller of Renault was selling a client one electric car with fast charger
not even the seller recommended to use that
as told he will end with issues in 1 year
Which half is that? One half has france, the other has the Baltic states
I enjoy living like a king though
well some kings didn't have it that great
I wish to know if the new Mercedes actually don't have this issues over the years
I can buy some parking spaces all over the country and build wall chargers
the only issues I had so far with the car are electric/hardware ones on the onboard computer
Oh yeah what happened to this, does anyone know? I forgot where it went after it left leo
say when I had to go because the car claimed that I saved 5000km of oil on ECO, but the car did 2000km in total
XD
they told me not to use the ECO mode
America wants to know your location
because ECO mode can give me issues and needs a 100β¬ repair
I told the guy of Renault, that basically by that point I saved more money in OIL
thik when firefighter just sit and watch car burn we can say its so bad
they forgot to tighten the oil cap on mine, lost all the oil on the ground, am I in danger of being invaded?
mine don't even have oil cap, the door itself have a thing
Cant hear you over the sounds of freedom
These people are insane
dafuq
that laura showed rolling coal reminds of those factories on avtar frontiers of the pandora
americans β amirite
hevedy does it have emissions what tires produce?
microplastics is mostly car tires no?
hi
the tires are eco friendly, because are made from vegan proper raised dinosaurs
Oil
Eco
Coal
Bourgeoisie
0 stands for Electrics and nullptr emissions
B for real old emissions cars
C for new ones with emissions but lower
ECO stands for anything, because if you have a car that's worst than a C or B but have a ignition electric engine, then magically is ECO
but with the ECO you can pretend to save the world even if you have a Ferrari
where book
is C like euro6?
Aww, i was enjoying the idea of a car running on the bourgeoisie
raindust what about if its running on the human waste?
Seems like B stands for Euro 3 and Diesel 4 & 5 and C for 4,5,6 and diesel 6
ah
they wanted to change the law but they never did
here's the best transport, get a bike, it gets 100 km per snickers bar
Nah, antimatter powered battery when
This is from chronicles of riddick, right? Weird but funny movie
ah that sucks
I'd expect everything before euro6 to be just red labeled
and all diesels
can't be, otherwise that will cancel all the official cars
in other had this country have a real old cars overall, due the economics etc
so a lot of people have cars that don't even have a sticker or can't even have it
so idk whats going to happen
I hope they don't reboot it

that't not a book
but will it be the book?
zbrush central like always jumpscares me
Look up a question, forget and leave it open on my second monitor, after a whle it pops up like some terrifying monster someone sculpted

I've never been to any kind of party am I an old granpa
Oh wait actually no, I did get dragged to noisy bars two times in my life and hated it both times
I think I have both points covered then 
No and I doubt I will lol
My brain tends to go "yes those are words, I will assume what they mean without properly reading them"
Thats what makes it difficult

Thx lr u r grt lk evry tme
Much better. Personally, I won't pay attention on the first, problems section, I need the features only. Then there, you can adjust a bit the sentence:
Finding the actors from your project to place into the level is clumsy
->
Finding which actors to place into the level is clumsy.
Great :) Have you done copywriting? Kinda sounds like it lol
tht s btr
Good question π€ I know exactly what those are but not what they would be called
inlay hints 
this is the first time I've seen this in my life
reminds me of sticky scroll though
but is there is one thing to learn from this
it is that your loop bodies are too long
if your loop body does not fit on a single screen size, wtf you doing
well quick test of this web thing https://raytracerbenchmark-wasm.platform.uno/
I have so many loops that don't fit on screen
I don't think moving code from them into functions would improve the legibility of it at all :P

40 is not old. If you take care of yourself, there is still so much life ahead of you to enjoy.
propaganda
40 is just middle to 80
Many people don't find their true selves until their 40s.
like how most 3rd stage evolutions of pokemon happen after level 40?
Many people are most attractive in their 40s, too.

:question: will raindust look same on 80 year old as raindust be in 40year old?
:8ball: Most likely.
seems like raindust solve aging problem
I'm not looking forward to 30s and 40s, I know that much π
Why not?
Overall just getting older feels depressing
It can be but if you focus on the difference in wisdom and (hopefully) financial and personal status, youβll feel better
stupid bar
I feel bad asking for help in the UE5 general channel. everyone is so needy.
that's what it's for
ah Stargate, I miss it
Anyone knows good tool that can be used to measure time spent in UE5, VS Blender etc?
a clock works well
good point, existential crisis has been my regular visitor ever since I turned 18, so it's been here for a while π
Just gotta think how silly the things you did were back then and youβll feel superior π

@sand oxide I rmbr you saying thereβs no reason not to use borderless FS these days, but I notice that disables the ability to toggle Vsync. Does that mean it forces VSync or is it auto off?
Moar CoD
Iβm talking about in a game. Made with Unreal or not
war of the chosen or base game?
Sry, maybe I phrased that wrong. Does windowed full screen force you into Vsync on or into Vsync off?
yeah, war of the chosen is an expansion that massively changes the game. base game is more like enemy unknown/within
Oh I c. Ty

AW2 casually collecting more awards on Arabgameawards
Best Story
Best Horror Game
Best Technical Achievement
Best Visual Design
Best Game Design
Outstanding Performance (Illka & Matthew)
Achievement In Directing
AND Best Game
good thing everyone paid for that early access
I haven't played it in so long π
I'm patiently waiting for the dlcs to drop 
π
I know you won't play it no matter what I say but you are missing out π
there is a nice local community
just a bit of a cult as well
and murder
the cult does wear deer heads if that helps
I am not sure what their purpose is yet
TIL there is Arab game awards, lmao
wait til you hear about the belgian game awards
I heard they're waffle
Balkan power game wards. Shinto galaxy ceremony. Minor Pacific Awards Ceremony of Games!
next year that is, since it was in june for some reason
shouldnt they have only arab made games?
Or maybe the A secretly means Arab in AW2
you're saying they're holding out on us?
Same lol
some say there should be blue game awards
:question: should there be blue game awards?
:8ball: You may rely on it.
is this real?
seems dangerous
hope the dude got paid millions to try it
brain implants is one thing
a brain implant of musk is just suicide
other for that field is more advanced
Makes me think of those poor blind souls who had implants that let them see a little. Now those companies are long gone and the implants stopped working ages ago and are slowly killing them.
nuke
Game name?
Farthest Frontier
Yes, it is. π
Thanks π
why they farting so hard
They don't have carts, cars, or donkeys.
They need some kind of locomotion.
Think of it as yeast farts.
Once they get to town, they stop farting a bit. They get wagons.
have they invented pennyfarthing?
They have a Compost Yard.
Will that do?
Ah heck, I was still hung up on the farts.
No, they are still puttering with wooden, wagon wheels.
yeet them into the future
man I loved rise of nations
good game
I think I preferred it over AoE
don't kill me
Rise of Nations was fun.
I THINK it was more action-oriented, or at least quicker to the violence than AoE, at the time.
heh, ive been playing the same game.
π«‘
We commend your bravery and patience.
Pretty β€οΈ
its saved on a doomsday moment. Got attacked by a lot of raiders, food was sub-100 with more than 1000 citizens. so if I let it go, everyone dies XD
Holy heck! 1,000?
the thing of background scenes https://fxtwitter.com/oldgodsofasgard/status/1752328563116658835
I just reached 200 citizens and I started transitioning to barns, in order to replace the hunters.
I can only imagine the patience you had to reach 1,000 citizens and then take care of them.
π
Although it's not delineated, you start in the Mud Age and then move to the Stone Age, followed by the Industrial-Lite Age.
I don't know what the fourth age is. @deep glen What's the fourth upgrade for the Town Hall? Iron Age?
Cocaine Age
Oh, no no, breadmaker. You start with herbs and weed during the Mud Age. π
Although you make use of the weed only during the Stone Age, when the Healer's Hut is unlocked.
I dont even remember
rip
hi
book
is yours done yet?
I just realized that I am not as good at writing as I thought I was.
Fuck me, I don't have any skill with me that can help make me make a game.
I can't model, I can't program and I can't write. And the game concept I came up with is fun IN THEORY.
MY THEORY.
plenty of good writing courses.
whyyyyyyy
I don't think a course can give me ideas :((
how am i supposed to make a game then ;-;
I am not even planning to make something commercial
I am trying to make a chunk of the game so I can show it to people
- learn the skills you're lacking
- switch to an engine that handles the difficulty
- team up/hire people
- give up
yes π
- I can't learn everything, can I?
- Already did, that's why I am here and not in a Unity server.
- I need to have something to hire people, that's what I am working on.
- A very tempting option but there's a shred of determination in me that I am clinging to.
hello!
The worst part is that I have a decent base, I am unable to put stuff on top of it.
- Sure you can, but if it's not clicking you can outsource areas that you don't want to. Like me with audio stuff. Screw learning how to do that.
- No you didn't, Unreal does not handle the difficulty. To make a full game theres still a lot of framework you need.
- Very true, though some people get mileage out of revshare work it seems. I don't trust it personally
- Good, keep that determination. No.4 is not a good option, but an option none the less.
Just remember if you're only making a chunk of a game, you don't need a vast amount of writing
You could probably fudge a lot of the details
There's roads, there's vehicles that can be controlled, traffic AI, decent combat, a framework that lets me write stuff in a way for UE to understand.
There's also a fuckton of assets that I can use for art.
My problem is that the brain is empty.
Just like my pockets.
Make whatever you find to be fun and package it.
That's it.
Forget the terminologies and the words, like 'commercial' and 'game'. Just make something fun.
I am pitching an RPG with quest anthologies so unfortunately I can't skimp on writing.
Oh I remember those roads.
Was it those packs with the mind boggling intersections? :P
That's your issue then.
You're vastly out of scope
I did all that years ago, I am not new to this, you know?
Correct!
It doesn't change no matter how many years you do it.
Blocks are overcome in the same way you did ages ago.
So scale back, and work on realistic things, until you have the means and the skills to upscale
I just plan to have a couple of quests. I wrote 7 and my target is 20.
I am unable to write the 8th quest, stuck in the middle.
it's not the quests that's the issue.
making an RPG, even in concept, is very much "draw the rest of the fucking owl" territory
I say RPG just because I don't have a better term for it
there's no levelling, there's no 1000s of interconnected systems, there's no skill trees
I don't even have a "main story"!
That is on purpose, though.
Why owl and not penguin, though? π€
Aren't penguins supposed to be more annoying?
its a meme
I think it's a saying lol
anyway, just wanted to vent, I'm going off now, see if I can force myself to write just one more page
slams button 4
you're not alone ;-;
You win Retry for $100. π
Don't force yourself. Take a break.
From experience I find it to be the best way around writer's block
I took a month long break, it didn't help at all
Eat some food you enjoy, have some good sleep, play something you enjoy, then come back
take a 2 month long break then :P
Fair enough, siiigh
Thanks for the talk, I'll go play The Outer Worlds or something.
Adios!
It's basically Fallout 4 but brighter. Decently corny writing. π
i do not like busywork and book keeping. stares at the 100 more data assets i have to make
π€· You does what you musts.
its soul numbing
That's why you focus on the $$$ you will make at the end of it.
If not, you question why you are doing it in the first place. π
im doing it to make money on #2 lol, #1 rarely is a hit
Well, toil away. π Then, swim in the cash. π
Writing is top-notch (imo) but the rest is just decent enough to keep playing
it made me laugh out loud so many times
Uh... I should say e-money. We've almost stopped using cash altogether.
dont remind me
I've always quite liked Obsidian's writing
Can't swim in e-money.
see if you cna gain some inspiration from there :P
Need a different thang to do with it. Electrocute oneself with e-money. π€£
A movie theater we went to didn't accept digital money so we had to scrape together the little amount of money we had together to go in
That was what I was planning to do
been there lmao
its annoying
It's nothing like Fallout 4, believe me
I don't know why they decided not to use it, literally everyone else does
no explorable world
Same reason the one vegetable seller in my town decided to hold out against UPI.
He converted recently.
and they look at you like youre trying to buy unregistered guns when you try to pay with cash. like its almost suspicious at this point to pay with cash
what's the point?? they'll just end up losing customers!!
Of course, I haven't shopped at his place for a year or so.
π€· He didn't want to learn.
that theater was odd asf
never going there again
The shopping malls in town started stocking veggies and that's the end of my frequenting his place. π
Yeah, I think I haven't touched a currency note in one and a half years now. π
The older shopping mall stocks local stuff and the second one competes with it by stocking imports.
Kind of fun to go to each one alternately.
You know, I'm having a ton of trouble calculating the intelligence of an average person who might play my game.
which game?
I don't want to make things "obvious" (it is about free will, after all) but I don't want to leave everything unambiguous either
My game - edited!
I asked Bard - which has been surprisingly helpful with stuff - to do it for me and it came with this. "Subtle" my ass. Also just lame.
Who the fuck talks like that?
HK-47 does
yk I thought it was an alt of AK-47 for a sec
Eh? It deserved to die.
Okay, wow, tweaking the settings made it come up with something that is MUCH better. Still needs work, though.
Maybe "Prompt Engineer" was a real job after all.
Ah, the remake is in early development still.
i just spilled water on my pc because of what you said π‘
how dare you kill HK47
Not my problem. If you had finished your game and made $$$ from it, you could've replaced it immediately with your $4,000 spare. π
I think I deserve a break just for asking Bard to do something for me.
meat bag
I remember that. It always said that, didn't it?
i wiped it off quickly lol, its fine
No, no. It might explode.
Buy a new one quick.
was like a few drops anyway
Call Azom.
explode? must be my lucky day!
If you manage to record it and upload the short to YouTube, indeed it would be. π
My game's character is investigating... something. Should I have an NPC interpret all the clues for them or trust the player to make connections themselves. I do plan to keep things simple.
I am too stupid to understand what's wrong there so I guess ape together strong
wait
Not as bad as some of the users.
I read an article today, where two people used Google Maps and ended up driving their car onto a garden / park's staircase. They never bothered to watch the road. π€£
shouldn't it be break and continue?
just trust the NPC (whatever that means)
"try"?
try catch
I think that was an image macro from years ago
it's for code that you know might throw an exception
and then you catch the exception and deal with it
right right
Yeah, that makes sense, better not have problems at all (instead of trying to fix them in the background/backend/whatever)
huh?
oh right
my bad
edited
yes
and should I trust them to make (any) connections themselves
or have an NPC do it for them
like tell them how those things are of any meaning?
well, many games let the character "think" out loud
out of the hands i don't know a single game with clues where it asks for specific connections
Sherlock Holmes
The only detective investigation scene I liked was the end of Heavy Rain trying to put the clues together as the CIA investigator with an Apple Vision Pro
hey
I have the complete collection of Sherlock Holmes - one MASSIVE book with SMALL print.
I've read the entire thing cover-to-cover - THRICE.
Alan Wake 2 has an interesting take on it
yeah, me either, I am just trying to let the player go the way I want them to go instead of forcing them to do it
I also have the short stories collection and the hound of baskersvilles, but haven't read them yet
I need to check that game out after seeing the TGA dance musical number
there's a ton of detective games with stuff like this, saw a GMTK video on it
but my game is not a detective game, this is just one quest
Hound of the Baskervilles is scary if you are new to Sherlock Holmes.
after all it probably depends on how much of an investigation game you make
If you read it as part of the entire collection, then you won't be even a tad bit shaken. π
I loved the BBC adaptation though
you know, I should probably approach this the same way I approached a similar quest before where you have to find out where a missing kid is
The one with Benedict Cumberbatch, or the really old one?
the cum one
I started writing it with consecutive events
Yeah. That was good.
but it doesn't make sense here, people just posted reviews here
House is the best Sherlock adaptation
baller intro song too
like House MD?
Ya
isn't that about a doctor with a crooked limb and a painkiller addiction?
Yeah
I know this from TVTropes.org lol
Yes, House MD was nice. I didn't like the last season or two, because they focused more on the main characters' personal problems, instead of the patients and problem-solving.
yes
where does the detective part come in?
hmm
during diagnoses I guess
Solving illnesses
probably referring to deduction
gotcha
They also go to and tear through the patients' homes, in search of the cause of the illness.
but irl it would not be no
yeah that's what I thought
goddamn it, one branch of this quest involves the player simply asking a "hacker dude" (gotta work with tropes, you know?) to trace the IP addresses (and locations) of the people who posted certain reviews
I am unable to do anything for the other branch
Call up the actual establishments and see if they remember anyone resembling the dudes who posted the reviews? π€·
the hacker dude requires the player to either pay him or steal something from him so if someone chooses to do neither of those then I'm stuck
I am working with a limited amount of character models lol
who does? (my old PC collecting dust does)
You can just render the main guy using a mobile phone. It's just calling the different places up.
If the dudes on the other end HAVE to be rendered, then you can use shadow silhouettes.
the quest is given out by a single owner of one such establishment
ykw
I just found a way to shape this quest according to the location of the player's chosen home
fucking A, thanks a lot!
I still have the Sony VCR that my dad held on to.
Thanks us when you make $$$ and can send us expensive cookies.
Otherwise, our efforts are wasted on you. π
Oh yes, I absolutely will!
'efforts' π€£
Just remember me and don't die by the time something comes out of this lmao
The first part won't happen. π
Also, the player can choose homes? Is this some rich dude who took up a career in investigation?
nah, nah
Dang.
a starting location at the beginning of the game
right after character customization
It'd have been nice to be a rich guy with house choices.
Rub it in the noses of all those quest-givers.
I don't HAVE to do this for you, plebian. I just choose to.
in the actual game I am kinda thinking of having a money slider for the player to start out with
Apparently Alan Wake 2 is full of jumpscares :(
but that's just out of the question for now
