its my capture card, it only captures at 16:9. It'll do 4k but theres no way to output to 4k and crop it in software

Well, I am done with Manor Lords for the moment. 🙂
I think I've pushed the game to 'bug mode'. The city has over 50 families and I have 6 regiments. The number of soldiers in the regiment fluctuate randomly and fill up when I rally them (which is incorrect). An enemy wave spawned and the bandits are stuck with one leg on either side of the map's border. 🤣 They aren't moving either. The simulation is stressed at this moment. I'll wait for a patch before continuing.

All in all, it's a fun game and you've to be on your toes to keep the economy running. The need to min-max at the beginning of the game on default settings, is a bit annoying. It offers little flexibility. Other than that, the game runs and plays great.

#

been making my dungeon generator, its mostly in a plugin, tho it may not be set up 100% correctly as a plugin. But should I start the actual game in the same project? or create a new project? probably best to create a new project...?

summer cedar
#

That way, if you wish to package the plugin and sell it later for $5,000, then it'd be easy to do so.

tulip orbit
pearl elk
#

Surely you can keep the generator project code seperate from the game project code in the same project

tulip orbit
#

yeah the base map generator code and such is kept seperate in the plugin

pearl elk
#

or what you could do is what Epic does lately, put the generator game stuff into another plugin and have two

#

tbh you could make the game a plugin too 😹

summer cedar
#

There's this copy+paste revolutionary technique that you can use to create duplicates and separate the plugin, for later packaging. I hear it works great.

pearl elk
#

you can use git modules if you want a separate repo for the plugin in the subdir of the project but it can get abit tedious if you got alot of modules

tulip orbit
#

if I copy/paste the plugin directory to the new project, and say I dont add c++ to the new project, would the plugin show up? or do I have to do a build plugin or special compile?

#

My brain is foggy right now, I could probably just start the project and find out

pearl elk
#

if its built for that engine version you wont need to recompile

tulip orbit
#

stop playing it while driving

median wraith
#

lol

#

changed to DX11 lets see

pearl elk
#

you should play Supreme Commander instead 😛

median wraith
#

will be honest with you, this game is SO AWESOME and was made technically just by 4 persons

unborn lotus
median wraith
#

this is awesome man, baked light still makes things look way better than current gen lol

pearl elk
#

youre barely using the computer there

#

attack the golf ball

median wraith
#

XDDD

summer cedar
#

Baked lighting gives you more control over the artistic look and atmosphere of the lights, no?

#

Precision, to be precise. 😛

median wraith
#

well it gives more render distance quality that for sure

#

1/10 the cost of current light we got in realtime and still better quality

pearl elk
#

umm I dunno, I might argue RT lighting updates give artists more control because they dont have to wait for bakes to process

median wraith
#

the issue with RT light rigth now last time I checked it

#

its the emissive light for example cannot be canceled from baked etc

#

or neither in lumen

pearl elk
#

you also have to understand lighting too, for example... Looking at you Helldivers 2... Dont give people flashlights in heavy fog at night time and expect them to be able to see anything

#

Labyrinthe is largely based around flashlights too but I can set the graphics so I dont even need to use the torches most of the time. Abit like in reality when not using a torch can be better because the light blinds you so you end up with darker backgrounds

median wraith
#

I mean the best light is realtime if performance wasn't an issue

#

but it is what it its

pearl elk
#

Im convinced realistic lighting shouldnt be the aim because it often breaks gameplay

#

so for me its more about the lighting models themselves than whether its baked or realtime

#

dont even get me started on reflections 😛

unborn lotus
median wraith
#

good part Source 2 have realtime path tracer preview to see the light areas

#

wish in UE we had the same because the baked light is total different

#

neither produces the same results and seems like GPU baker is kinda abandoned

unborn lotus
#

Yup

#

Lumen is fine for my usage though

summer cedar
#

Wasn't there something in the release notes this time, that they added a feature to let you view the lighting in the viewport in real-time?

pearl elk
summer cedar
#

Ah, maybe I got that mixed up with HLODs in viewport.

pale scarab

guyss i wanna get this right, i can still USE rider EVEN AFTER MY SUBS EXPIRES??

pearl elk
#

probably no updates though

pale scarab
pearl elk
#

yeah but you might not get the updated plugins for newer engine versions possibly

fleet tangle
#

You get a perpetual licence to use hte version you're currently on or somehting.

#

I do with resharper at least.

pale scarab

and compare

pearl elk
pale scarab

but i think that's ok too

pearl elk
#

I dont have many worries now I use VS Code and AngelScript 😛

#

yeah Im just commenting how much easier my life is now I left Rider and VS Chonky Edition behind

pale scarab
#

but isnt VS code very laggy? LIke sometimes it didnt appear on unreal and when you wanna delete a script, the method is troublesome?

pearl elk
#

I just wouldnt use C++ 😹

median wraith
#

So graphically Industry is 10 and the levels are really nice too

#

Didn't expect to be actually kinda Half Life 2 gameplay

pearl elk
#

Industria you mean

median wraith
#

I'm so stupid that just traslated it from spanish for whatever reason

pearl elk
#

Seems there is a second game on the way

summer cedar
#

When I heard the name Industria, I thought it was a building game or sim.

#

Then I saw the pics on Google.

I was definitely expecting some steampunk city builder

Use a lib for windows and I/O. Leave the in-depth stuff eventually for later.

Super random question here but maybe you know something:
I have the feeling that suddenly a lot of people are playing Max Payne again. I also started playing it a couple of days ago (maybe because of me seeing it "everywhere", can't remember that this was the reason for me picking it up again though) and I now start seeing all kinds of content with it. Even Joe Wintergreen has changed his profile pic on X to himself as Max Payne^^
Does anyone know why so many are picking it up again?

Maybe your driver is not detected by the lib. Can't say w/o more info.

cursive crypt

Doing it for the "lolz", certainly does not sound important.

I mean, a f odin... wtf is even that

#

#

There are new replacement each other month.

#

Why not Lua, Angelscript, Python, etc.

#

Let me tell ya, I see only game shit here

#

This is not a C alternative

#

This is more like Lua alternative, maybe.

#

AngelScript etc

#

That's why I put it in the screenshot

#

The only thing they can boast about is that tech and these companies.

#

Don't take me wrong, I don't say it is bad, I don't know the lang.

#

When you buy it on itch you also get a drop of the full Odin source code and all source assets

#

That kinda cool, ngl

#

... okay, after the rant about C alternative/replacement, I think I see the goal is just about games.

#

Which aint bad

#

It will be a compromise at best.

#

I don't know someone being able to beat Lua in terms of performant script

#

On other hand, Lua is bleh, so a C contestant is welcome

they claim that their jit outperforms luajit

That's teh thing about farm simulator. It grows on you.

We do have a farm

Each family member has like 10-15 acres they do shit with. Nothing to crazy

#

Man an actual farm is expensive as fuck

500k for some damn tractor tires

You can buy a second hand tractor for like 5-20k

I doubt the tyres alone cost 500k

speaking of camps, i found a great way to kill bandit camps. Just use stand your ground as your army stance, wait for their effectiveness to drop, switch to push forward, kill a couple of their guys, go back to stand your ground and rinse repeat

Stand your Ground is the best stance for spears.

you know, i really dont understand, why a 25% launch discount for literally the most wishlisted game on steam?

its gonna sell, everyone knows that. the discount just hurts the revenue at that point probably

the EGS updates cant come soon enough tbh, its been horrible for too long

well the price is matched on EGS and Steam for Manor Lords, it should technically be cheaper on Epic

damn publishers soaking up the benefits

empty dune
#

yeah but why discount to begin with

#

i understand a 10%

#

but 25?

pearl elk
#

well some games Ive noticed I got an extra 10% for having it wishlisted or something, theres typically a grey percentage next to the green one

empty dune

no, its just a flat 25% off all storefronts

from launch to may 10

It ain't a fraction of a quarter.

#

So there's that.

chrome gull
#

okay fair enough

#

I had all of these separate ideas but I'm ending up merging some of them which is working out decently for me

summer cedar
#

Be like pro devs.

chrome gull
#

but that also means I need more new ideas for quests

summer cedar
#

Use AI.

#

Steal.

#

Lie.

#

Be rich.

chrome gull
#

AI sucks balls for creative stuff

summer cedar
#

But it can fill the non-creative stuff.

pearl elk
#

tell the AI to write your story more concise then you can add more

chrome gull
#

which AI should I use? Bard was amazing but then it became Gemini and also shit

empty dune
#

oi windus, bonkers here believes you cant find fellow game devs in india. prove him wrong

summer cedar
#

He isn't wrong, though.

empty dune
#

dammit

pearl elk
#

everywhere I go I find UE devs from India

chrome gull
summer cedar
#

We are pretend devs.

pearl elk
#

its almost like theres a billion odd people there

summer cedar
#

True devs have $700 million budgets.

#

AND they make you pay them more.

pearl elk
#

I dont have a budget, does that mean Im a bigger dev because mines infinite 😮

chrome gull
#

but yeah it's almost impossible to find decent devs that aren't making asset flips and/or shit mobile games

I want to make nice products even though it takes time

So, first make some Manor Lord clones.

Do it quickly

No text needed.

Manor Lords mobile clone

empty dune

what is it a clone of tf

pearl elk
#

Settlers?

summer cedar
#

A clone in the sense that is a city building game and has many features of other city building games.

empty dune
#

right

summer cedar
#

It's not a perfect copy, of course.

summer cedar
#

Actually, what's unique about the game is the plot system.

chrome gull
#

with mechanics from said genre?

summer cedar
#

Other than that, it's fairly generic, but well done.

how do I smash it

summer cedar

Call your game Bonkers Ville and sell it for $5 on Steam.

The goal will be to build exactly two houses.

Then use one house to smash the other.

chrome gull

#

No, no.

chrome gull
#

100 hour behemoth

summer cedar
#

You can tell your slav... NPCs to grind for you.

#

And game speed can increase to x200.

#

Caution: Might fry CPU, no insurance included.

pearl elk
#

you need to recommend the game to all your friends to recieve extra wood

empty dune
chrome gull
#

but then game will finish before 2 hours and people can refund the game

#

why not?

why not people of color

Something about weight, physics, and the bathroom sink being thrown at it, yes.

#

so yay me

summer cedar
#

Now, make Bonkers Ville and don't come back until you earn $1,000.

summer cedar
#

Yes, but to jail.

chrome gull
summer cedar
#

So, also nowhere.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

You should also start a Kickstarter for your game.

#

Get $10,000 from people.

But, they lived in an atmosphere of fear and security-risks.

SO, here we are.

I looked into it recently, apparently there is huge amounts of money being poured into research about extending human lifespans
Pretty sure Sam or OpenAI has their hands money in it too

Was rereading a recent research about this too, apparently by 2070 Earth is gonna be massively underpopulated at this rate, more people are dying than the number of babies being born and apparently it's getting worse, less and less people are having kids

We used to worry about the planet getting too crowded, but there are plenty of downsides to a shrinking humanity as well.

Only the important countries figure into such studies.

so "soon" is not soon after all

And that's true for those countries.

Yes. Pretty much. There're political and military variables that justify such thinking, so I can't fault the big wigs for discounting India so far.

please tell me not Outlaws

I doubt that. Even Darktide has players playing now.

you could play acouple of rounds of Helldivers 2 between Horizon tbh

HD 2 will have randos until it shuts down.

Besides, you just end up killing all of them.

#

So, how does it matter?

pearl elk

I have a strange suspicion Helldivers 2 will get a new faction, theres just so much room on the strategy map

broken sigil
# pearl elk please tell me not Outlaws

whatever is the new one, I bought it 5 months ago but still didn't get around playing it, played cyberpunk, alan wake 2 twice, pacific drive and now horizon

I am considering uninstalling Battlefield 2042 and Halo Infinite, they were so much fun and have so much more potential but DICE and 343 just stopped trying

there's gonna be 5 factions eventually

summer cedar
#

@broken sigil On a serious note, with reference to these 'studies' that are being done now, there's a serious contention that the sample sizes are much too small to be anywhere near accurate. A scientist had opined in an article that it's difficult to reproduce over 60% of the results stated in these studies, now.

chrome gull
#

WE NEED WEAPONS 343 NOT A 10000 MORE MAPS

I think they need to revise statistics and study budgets to cover a larger sample size, both in terms of manpower and methodology.

Bi in Korean means 'No'. Basically, the women of S.K. decided they'd have no babies with men, no sex with men, no boyfriends, and no marriage.

we need more babies, how else will we have a class of servants to tend to our every need when we are elderly

there's another cheaper IDE for unreal

idk if i should refund rider now

You can use free code generators outside these IDEs

Also their company loves to split their products. Rider is for UE, CLions is for C/C++ and then there are a dozen more products for each other lang.
