And it's the best thing I ever done

timber viper
#

Unless you read manga you will never know but thats a huge spoiler

#

Its biggest plot in the anime

errant raven
#

Idc I must know I dont read manga

timber viper
#

I dont know either btw

brittle holly
#

How is it? Reviews saying it’s proc gen instances rather than linear/free roam driving experience but idk if that’s necessarily a deal breaker

#

I’ve run out of things to play, which has made me more productive in my UE project but still, I tap out after like 8h

broken sigil
#

It's supposed to be a horror game but so far it has been quite a nice relaxing game lol

brittle holly
#

But I think I’ll get it, it looks interesting enough

broken sigil
#

berk
The game is honestly amazing, I would recommend it

brittle holly
#

Sounds good, I was bored of the Wandering Village anyways

broken sigil
brittle holly
#

Nice

brittle holly
broken sigil
#

Lmao

broken sigil
#

I'm 8 hours in, I've been doing more looting than actually completing them game lol

broken sigil
#

it's kinda addicting

brittle holly
#

And they didn’t charge $90 CAD, imagine that

serene vapor

#

Seriously, there's so many cool stuff in the engine and absolutely NO INFORMATION on how to use them

pearl elk
#

Thats because the person who made the thing is too busy working to write documentation

empty dune
#

And then quit the company a couple years later and nobody worked on that feature ever again

pearl elk
#

so they get a technical documentation team in to document the thing but they have to learn said thing and dont know said thing as well as the person who wrote said thing

empty dune
#

This engine really gives me "Random bullshit, go!" energy

serene vapor
#

most powerful system in the entire engine and they tell you NOTHING about it

empty dune
serene vapor
empty dune
#

There's two, GAS and the ability framework or whatever the engine calls it

serene vapor
pearl elk
#

Attributes system not to be confused with the other 5 attribute systems 😛

empty dune
#

GAS is still decently documented

serene vapor
pearl elk
#

I might write my own attribute system cuz whats one more

empty dune
#

Why is there 5 attribute systems in the engine and why do none of them work????

empty dune
#

Then there's the various ui systems

#

There's like 3, i could swear

serene vapor
#

man wtf is going on in Lyra's UI

#

nobody ever asked for a data-driven user interface system

pearl elk
#

nothing wrong with a data-driven UI, just that Lyra has so many abstractions it might as well be a unicorn fart

serene vapor
#

a unicorn fart?

pearl elk
#

cloud of gas from an imaginary creature, very abstract dont you think?

serene vapor
#

you've never been to the san diego zoo

pearl elk
#

is it a flavour of ice cream?

serene vapor
#

what would "unicorn fart" taste like?

#

sherbert?

#

that's my headcanon

pearl elk
#

I just hope it doesnt contain glitter

#

but yeah I think the issue with Lyra is that academically its awesome from an example standpoint but we wernt all in the room when it was designed so how are we meant to know the intention of the design

serene vapor
#

i agree

#

it's pretty great for seeing how professionals would implement certain systems

#

the "inventory fragment" system is really cool

pearl elk
#

but is it really reusable, because cool might not be useful

serene vapor
#

how do you mean?

pearl elk
#

well its nice to talk about topics, come up with perfect solution in projects which arnt retail products but how easily and cost effectively can these things be applied to projects which are to become indie game products

serene vapor
#

ah i see what you mean

pearl elk
#

its nice academically but how do we know the system wont fall apart in certain retail settings costing indie devs their livelyhood

#

Its tricky because some of this stuff works for Fortnite but you can imagine that game would have a massive team behind it to fix any issues

serene vapor
#

yeah, that's why I don't use any of Lyra's super complex, intertwining systems like their "experiences" system, since it affects the entire framework of the game. I think it's better to just see their more standalone systems like their inventory system, equipment system, ability system, etc. which can be added to a lot of different projects without having to worry about how they'll affect other game systems

pearl elk
#

Thats why its sometimes better the devil you know

#

When you do have lots of abstractions the issue becomes one of not knowing where the interconnections are more clearly. The engine lacks the tools since it was originally geared towards more of an OOP strategy. It can tell you whats referenced from where but theres no real way to get graph overviews

#

Im sure there were some sort of UML type graphs written for Lyra but they were never shared

serene vapor
#

absolutely. Whenever I design any complex, intertwining systems, I create a text document that outlines all of the classes involved in the system and how they interact with one-another

pearl elk
#

Yup goes with the territory, the engine can do so many things but theres no systems design views. I guess the expectation is that will always be done in an external application whether youre using C++, Verse, BP, etc

slim atlas
#

hi

tulip orbit
serene vapor
pearl elk
#

Definitely reset, we cant have a proper conversation happening in here, brings the whole place down

pearl elk
#

Yeah I dunno why I always call em UML graphs, terrible of me it should be SysML 😛

pearl elk
#

Now on todays COBOL the future episode

tulip orbit
#

drive to work should be fun. Snowfall warning, started last night, was a blizzard out overnight. 10-20cm and it looks like we've got the bulk of it already

pearl elk
#

If only you worked at blizzard wouldnt take long to get there 😸

tulip orbit
#

I dont have far to drive thankfully, but should still be interesting

#

also dropped from around 0c to -17c and a windchill

#

was windy enough that part of the roof trim on the building next door came off

pearl elk
#

now I know why cars have heated steering wheels

tulip orbit
#

mine doesnt 😦 but I do have heated seats

#

that doesnt warm up until I'm home

pearl elk
#

I just leave my car in the sun for 10 mins, boom heated steering wheel 😛

tulip orbit
#

no sun only snow

tulip orbit
#

okay dad

#

Hows your mother doing these days? 😅

slim atlas
#

Honestly

#

Elon Musk would make a really shitty iron man

#

if that guy EVER gets power like this

#

he will target transkids with missiles first

#

i bet you

#

He will become evil in 1 second

pearl elk
#

New MCU villian right there, show Disney your script

#

he's even been setup in the second Ironman movie, maybe he could steal some of whiplashes tech and reverse engineer it

#

actually if he cant login to windows how he gonna do that 😹

pearl elk
#

oh boy, if this Battlemage leak is real 😮

soft night

median wraith
#

100% memory leak free

unreal ether
#

just tell your customers to download more RAM

#

ez

#

It would be quite amusing to see the steam minimum spec list a terabyte of RAM though

pearl elk
#

I remember with the Fury beta tests you typically needed twice the required RAM cuz they had some sort of memory leak

broken sigil
#

lmao

#

the best one is when you have to run away from something but the car is off and in park 😆

proud jay
#

Do you think I need more clamps

tulip orbit
#

yes

proud jay
#

Brb going to the store

celest musk
#

what is this going to be when it's done?

proud jay
#

Indeed

#

No, working on some small table

#

More or less a test project for working at home

#

All the things I made up to now were in this class where we have a big fancy shop, so trying to apply and adapt to working with smaller tools at home

celest musk
#

no screws?

#

you just trust in wood glue?

#

on another look... that wood might be prone to split if you use screws without drilling before...

broken sigil
brittle holly
proud jay
#

Screws are for the weak

celest musk
#

screw it

broken sigil
celest musk
#

nah wood glue is pretty strong

brittle holly
celest musk
#

but how is this supposed to be a table?

broken sigil
proud jay
#

No glueing yet

celest musk
#

oh xD

proud jay
#

Cause I don’t have a vise

celest musk
#

but why

proud jay
#

Or whatever you call it

#

And holding it in my hand while cutting is not a great idea I think

tulip orbit
#

weld it

celest musk
#

xD

broken sigil
#

😆

median wraith
#

all is fun and that until you find a bug in the game and you basically lost your last 3h of run because you cannot finish it

#

and that's the moment i dropped the game

#

🤸‍♂️
🦽🏌️‍♂️

broken sigil
#

I've been enjoying it a lot so far 😅

proud jay
#

should've driven an ioniq 5 instead

median wraith
#

turned the car full electric

#

the game didn't liked it

#

removed all the wind and rain events on purpose to don't let me generate energy

median wraith
#

so lost all the progress and loot it took me 3h

#

and you cannot load a checkpoint due it overrides the last

broken sigil
#

oh, welp good to know, time to create some manual saves 😆
I'm still like in the first zone you start in, been doing a lot of looting

median wraith
#

I mean the manual saves won't help you

#

I have plenty of manual saves

#

before you leave the garage make 2 same ones in different slots

#

you start a run of 4 maps in row

#

you cannot save in level

#

and each time you pass a checkpoint it overrides the save you are in

#

so you cannot load the last map

#

the only option is to load the other save in the garage

#

in all the cases you lost everything

#

plus it takes me like 30seconds in the SSD to save the game savefile

#

on the garage due the items

#

still only got half of the game space unlocked

broken sigil
#

Ah

open fog

#

snowed last night. forecast was 10-20cm. I'd say closer to 20... the entire recieving crew called in, and we ended up getting two large trucks

#

recieving was completely packed.... couldnt even get a pallet thru some spots for a while

#

the snow drift going into work was up to my knees. And one of the trucks was getting stuck trying to leave our loading dock, took him a half hour to get out and I think only with my boss pushing with the forklift from inside

#

the cold sucked, but the amount of freight we got today, and theres more coming tomorrow, was absolutly brutal

lol I tried playing then everyone was taking their time farming or I kept getting shot in the back or grenaded so I gave up

#

I might go fight on automatons side for abit

empty dune
#

Automaton side is fun (it'll give you ptsd)

#

Fighting the bugs seems like a cake walk compared to fighting those bots

pearl elk
#

people keep wanting to farm on the bug side in missions with those big fatty bugs which are total bullet sponges

empty dune
#

Bugs are easier🤷

#

Easier to farm

pearl elk
#

so robots it is then

empty dune
#

Don't try to make them explode

#

That takes too many bullets

pearl elk
#

wish I had a better default gun

#

I dont have much unlocked so I only get acouple of options

empty dune
#

Use the breaker shotgun. Its the only effective gun right now. The others are getting buffed in a future patch

empty dune
pearl elk
#

hmm, I'll just have to find a good squad

empty dune

Same, i need a squad. Ive just been hopping from one quickplay to another for now

Good game though

proud jay
#

I mean, a plane is just defined by 3 points in space, not that hard to model

median wraith
#

I do remember todo on Blender, is hard to make the joins

#

gotcha you now lmao

proud jay
#

or maybe it's a plane like this

summer cedar
#

We could get someone who has some glue and piece them together.

proud jay
#

no, they're all the same side

summer cedar
#

Flip it then and we can pretend the clipping makes it invisible.

chrome gull
#

why are things extra depressing since the last few days lol

proud jay
#

probably cause unlike me you don't drive a new Ioniq 5 /s

that's probably it man 😔

proud jay
#

who pinged me and deleted

#

why do you do this to me

summer cedar

Very likely

Also, is your Toolbox compatible with UE 5 yet?

proud jay
#

man highway driving really slurps energy

#

Just did a 20 min drive for fun launching my car like crazy all the time

#

and consumption was still lower than average highway trip

#

going fast takes energy

celest musk
#

so it was more like "Isnt it great, when you finish a really big important amazing task... but you cant show anyone yet... because it is not finished yet"

proud jay

Much like a book

Please teach that deer how to drive.

It's clearly a traffic violation.

slim atlas

you can find tools for unreal on gumroad too

median wraith
#

yeah but that's different

#

usually non related tools to any software have their own website selling point

maybe go for Steam

as Krita does

that's strange Valve usually from what the people told me just ignores when the devs report those etc

I think you need 10 to display it ?

#

jesus

delicate minnow

so he was really nice to make a video

median wraith
#

you contact those via email or what it is ?

delicate minnow
#

yep

median wraith
#

you send them the key on first instance ?

delicate minnow
#

yes

median wraith
#

There was a web platform but i don't remember the name

delicate minnow
#

yeah I know but they are shit

#

you're paying for nothing

#

it's better to go direct

median wraith
#

you collect the emails from their youtube channels ?

delicate minnow
#

yeah

#

they all have business e-mails in their details

median wraith
#

true, I'm scared of ask Steam a lot of keys and then send those never get used or end on reselling pages

delicate minnow
#

and i only send them when I find someone I find worthy :D

#

and i send directly to them

#

so they're not gonna end up anywhere else

median wraith
#

oh, steam allow you to get 500 in a single chunk ?

#

you list it for streamers or ?

delicate minnow
#

they allow you however much you want

#

it's your game

delicate minnow
median wraith

yeah but they review it at least on my case they send me emails

and my game is also on torrents now so I find that charming as well :D :D

huh

#

not old at all, still very active :D

median wraith
#

I do remember a dev that made its own torrent with a hacked version

delicate minnow
#

and my game has 8 seeders lol

#

although I don't think they can upload scores to the leaderboard so..

delicate minnow
#

:D

pearl elk
#

torrent version with ad support 😛

median wraith
#

but isn't like torrents need computers connected in order to download those ?

delicate minnow
#

yeah you're basically downloading from other people (very simplified)

median wraith
#

I mean those are old since people now have free websites to upload files with many GBs

delicate minnow
#

in chunks

#

that's a very different use case

median wraith
#

here used to be the same from those people

#

you had the torrents and people unloading chunks of rar files to Mediafire etc

delicate minnow
median wraith
#

as developer whats the best sites now, to upload files ?

delicate minnow
#

its already 1.0.3 now, they should make an update

delicate minnow
#

for my regular work as well

median wraith
#

that's filled only with my emails lol

delicate minnow
median wraith
#

I do remember to use it for forums etc for my images

delicate minnow
#

torrent sites have uploaders who have a reputation for not putting viruses in the files

median wraith
#

then they blocked the images use

delicate minnow
#

thats why people use those

median wraith
#

oh

delicate minnow
#

ooh i know about this one yeah

median wraith
#

yeah that's the dev I was thinking about before

delicate minnow
#

thats hilarious yeah

median wraith
#

yeah but dropbox and onedrive are more for internal work I think and between devs

delicate minnow
#

but I know there have been a lot of games who did similar things to this, like the pirated game would work but there would be one very specific odd thing or a bug about it, so people who ask about it in the forums would be immediately identified

median wraith
#

thinking about distribution to users, Mediafire still comes to my head XD

pearl elk
#

Fileplanet ftw 😛

delicate minnow
#

i mean i can still just right click any dropbox folder and share it for people with a link

median wraith
delicate minnow
#

like in google drive same thing

#

hmm

median wraith
#

yeah people at Unreal market uses almost them all google drive

delicate minnow
#

yeah that's how they did it usually

pearl elk
#

I love that Epic Marketplace now has heaps of YT ads

median wraith
pearl elk
#

Epic missing out of some ad revenue in a big way there

median wraith
#

Someone placed my app on Softonic listed as paid

#

and is somewhere else

#

🤣

#

Softpedia*

pearl elk
#

My pedia is very hard thank you 😅

proud jay
#

my pedia is wiki

delicate minnow
#

pediatrist?

pearl elk
#

Sushi Pedia

median wraith
#

now you talk about Pedia

#

what's the best traveling app or site to order hotels and such?

#

Booking seem to have raised prices even with discounts

delicate minnow
#

everything has raised prices

median wraith
#

usually is better to call the hotel

pearl elk
#

Booking is abit shady, Ive heard stories about issues with them

delicate minnow
#

I've used Booking a lot and never had any issues personally

median wraith
delicate minnow
pearl elk
median wraith
delicate minnow
#

no issues

median wraith
#

they asked me for the id and didn't wanted my white black id, but the image here is white black

pearl elk
#

hmm Ive heard nothing but dramas but maybe its a local thing, they would have teams all over the world so maybe its the Australian end which sucks

median wraith
#

so I canceled

#

was a company of hotels from usa operating here

#

since that day I give a crap for auto places

pearl elk
#

I tend to use google to search for the hotel and it gives you a list of travel sites and their prices. Some are dodgy and usually the hotels own site is one of the cheapest lol

#

unless youre booking flights in a package then you get better hotel deals

median wraith
#

those forced you to order in booking

delicate minnow
#

if you book straight at the hotel site they can fuck you over and you have no one to turn to

median wraith
#

then create an account on their company website, upload all you data an id

#

verify etc

#

was like open steam works to go hotels

pearl elk
#

Ive heard of people booking with booking and the hotel didnt even have them in the registry so I dunno about protections. Ive never had a hotel screw me over booking direct, obviously I always confirm though

delicate minnow
#

i guess it just varies from individual experiences...

#

there's always gonna be people with good exp and bad exp

#

but personally I've used booking and airbnb and luckily never had an issue really

median wraith
#

I had 0 issues tbh

pearl elk
#

Well its got a 1.2-1.4 rating which is pretyt low lol

median wraith
#

Actually let me tell you ly only issue in an hotel was on the most expensive one I was at

#

the less expensive one had the best people

#

I go always to high rated ones

#

whatever stars they have

delicate minnow
# pearl elk Well its got a 1.2-1.4 rating which is pretyt low lol

don't forget that these ratings often don't really represent reality. People go there to complain so if someone has a bad experience, they leave a bad review. But if someone has a good experience, they don't leave a review because they expect to have a good experience. So even if the majority has a good experience, you will always find a lot more negative reviews

pearl elk
#

We have webjet, expedia, flight centre and a few others but those are all local

median wraith
#

Went to the expensive one, the bed cleanup were requested and help to solve a issue with the TV they never came in 2 days

pearl elk
#

but hey, come to Australia, we welcome you 🙂

#

@delicate minnow Make a steam item that has a cow badge. I'll buy it right now lol

pearl elk
#

I wonder if Jarvis runs on FerrOS

empty dune
#

You heard wrong, there's only female and straight

pearl elk
#

theres only breeders and workers

empty dune
#

Also stupid me realized only today that my game still needs a tutorial

celest musk

black & white was a great game

Even if it's half baked (talking about my game)

It surprises me that you've never driven a mech before.

Sorry for the late reply; I was busy killing Russians. The zombies will show up soon though.

#

Intercepting incoming missiles.

empty dune
#

You know that would be fun to drive. Imagine an armored go kart

summer cedar
#

Yes, you can shoot them down. 😄

#

All the more reason to have your personal battlemech.

empty dune
#

Solaris rising or something like that

summer cedar
#

Aye. But, it seems more like an arena-something. Like crucible or some such.

#

The Russians just got nuked.

#

The zombies will be coming soon.

proud jay
#

sorry, but that's an image

#

now that is an emote

delicate minnow
#

not a discord one

#

because we were talking about steam items

proud jay

will you add dietered to your steam

He paid the Discord lemmings bread.

Bread is a tantalising bribe in many walks of life.

Especially the hungry ones.

delicate minnow
#

Steam required at least 5 emoticons and I didn't know what to put there so I made these cursed ones

#

oh god why is it so enlarged

celest musk
#

they are cursed, as you said

shy veldt

Lord, the economy is crapping out lol

Was working a side contract only for the project's parent company to pull the plug on the project 1 week after joining the team 🙃 Poor guys that have been there since the projects start though, it was close to exiting pre-alpha.

On the flip side, Promissory Estoppel is a thing lol

delicate minnow
#

when they ask what's my proudest achievement in life

shy veldt
#

Now since we're required to do emojis for steam: y'all can expect a Taco and Japanese Onigiri one for ours 🤣

proud jay

rock paper scissors 2

#

rock paper scissors lizard spock

shy veldt
# delicate minnow what game? 😄

We are in the middle of Oculus store integration then gotta do steam store integration; so knowing bout the emoji need is useful actually lol

delicate minnow
#

it's just when you want steam community items

#

badges, trading cards, emoticons, profile backgrounds

proud jay
#

missed an opportunity to have the heroes dance on the beat in the trailer

delicate minnow
#

you get a whopping 10% of the traded card value

proud jay
#

must be filthy rich by now

delicate minnow
#

so maybe like 0.005 bucks per card

#

so if people trade like 600 cards, you can buy a chocolate bar

proud jay
#

but what if you trade 2 billion cards per day though

delicate minnow
#

maybe even two chocolate bars then

proud jay
#

that's expensive chocolate

shy veldt

I did it after more than a year of EA release :D

shy veldt
#

And makes sense, steam has gotten more curated over the years since the GreenLight Era lol

delicate minnow
#

thanks anyway c:

shy veldt
delicate minnow
#

the game actually has a good conversion rate, the issue is that steam is just not showing it to many people

shy veldt
#

I recommend possibly sending keys to popular curators

delicate minnow
celest musk
#

so guess you'll make more sales over a long period rather than a short

proud jay
#

at least they're all positive

delicate minnow
#

:D

shy veldt
#

Lord, imagine it gets the project zomboid treatment. Just blows up one day

delicate minnow
#

I wish I got more youtubers to play it

#

what support?

shy veldt
#

It's tough finding YouTube rs unless you're already buddies/game on their servers

#

well there's not much support to do, just updates when I feel like it

proud jay
delicate minnow
#

I made an update a few days ago with a new feature in the game

proud jay
shy veldt
delicate minnow
#

oh I only had some complaints that their GPU was flying off, so I turned on vsync by default and i guess its fine now

#

:D

delicate minnow
#

:D

#

ah yeah I forgot to include the secret bitcoin miner in my game this time 😔

#

btw the game makes around 100-150 € per month normally, and the month after the RCE video it made around 15 times that lol

#

but then it died down again

#

but it was nice while it lasted 😄

#

but literally no other youtubers ever answer.. sadly

proud jay
#

the game looks cool though

median wraith
#

that's sad

#

the market is overflowed right now

delicate minnow
proud jay
#

I want royalties on that

delicate minnow
#

screw the "9/10 - IGN"

#

I'll put "Game looks cool though - Dieter" on the steam store page

median wraith
#

did some of those companies review the game?

delicate minnow
median wraith
#

you didn't contact rock paper and such?

#

idk how those works this days

delicate minnow
#

it got featured and shared on some of those indie channels

#

but the issue with that is that only developers watch those lmao

#

and promoting your game among other developers doesnt do anything for sales

median wraith
#

maybe if they are rich and invest

delicate minnow
#

that's why I kinda stopped doing socials for the game

#

cause it's all just a big ||circlejerk ||among developers anyway, there's no real customers there

celest musk
#

put it on warez sites, wait for positive reviews, then make an alt account and post "game is good, but the download here contains a virus"

median wraith
#

I see a lot of social media activity and followers on some gamedevs and then they have a sad amount of reviews in steam

delicate minnow
#

if they are, they dont care :D

unreal ether
median wraith
#

like 200k followers on Instagram and 12 reviews on steam

delicate minnow
#

and again it doesnt really do much for sales anyway

celest musk
#

have you considered porting it to android/ios?

#

i feel like it would work well on tablets aswell

delicate minnow
#

most people who buy games never visit and website or socials for that game anyway

delicate minnow
celest musk
#

be the change that you want to see 😄

delicate minnow
#

the market is too saturated

celest musk
#

but most of them are adware?

delicate minnow
#

and also ICBF

#

:D

celest musk
#

ICBF?

delicate minnow
#

i cant be fucked

empty dune
delicate minnow

also idk how

#

:D

unreal ether
#

Mobile gaming would be an odd one, you'd need to integrate ads and mtx. And that sounds like pain

delicate minnow

usually indie games get overshadowed by bigger titles on fests anyway

empty dune

#

Premium games are normally a death sentence on mobile

delicate minnow

:D

most people dont even know this country

you get the odd outlier like Monument Valley and such, but ehhh
the exception is not the rule and all that

delicate minnow
unreal ether
#

yeah I know

empty dune
unreal ether
#

that was re: to my previous point about premium games being a death sentence on mobile

delicate minnow
median wraith
#

about 500 games what you expect

empty dune
#

idk man 5 extra sales is 5 extra sales for basically no work on my part

delicate minnow
#

this is a pretty good click through rate for steam store no? :D

delicate minnow

also look at this

How dare you!

delicate minnow

#

Another reason to dislike you right there.

#

And you asked me why. 😛

delicate minnow
#

also I had to delete my own cheated scores because they got uploaded while i was just testing the game lmao

empty dune
unreal ether
#

there are

summer cedar
#

That'd work actually.

#

You'd get more time with them. 😄

delicate minnow
#

although if someone who owns my game wants to test the cheat engine increase of score, go ahead

#

at least I'll see if my custom anticheat system works 😄

summer cedar
#

Well, if you pay me the $8 I just spent to buy the game to cheat, I'd definitely do so. 😛

delicate minnow
#

well it's working on me so far

#

I'll just be playing tile town

Nah. I like buying good games at full price.

I appreciate that 🫶

though you don't know yet if it's good :D

so probably never :D
