the daughter was possessed. the wife called the police ๐Ÿคฃ

summer cedar
#

Yes, but 'he acted on the voices in his mind' implies the husband has issues.

#

Gotta fix that.

obsidian turret
summer cedar
#

Much better; take prompting his wife to alert the authorities to the next line.

#

You're good to go. ๐Ÿ™‚

obsidian turret
#

Way better

#

you're a master

#

now I have to rework the many other notes too

#

haha

summer cedar
#

Ok, one sec.

obsidian turret
#

I have 0 photoshop knowledge unfortunately

summer cedar
#

This is a photography rule that is very useful in conveying information and also in UI design.

#

Basically, the player's eyes will naturally be focused on the central area of the screen.

#

Make sure the essential parts of what you want the player to know don't go too far out of that central area.

#

This is called the Rule of Three, if I remember correctly.

obsidian turret
#

Wow amazing. Thank you!

summer cedar
#

It's something that old filmmakers used.

#

The reverse logic also applies for game design.
If you WANT the player to actually TRY to get the information through some effort, you can make sure that its placement is outside the central area as much as possible.

#

When you are designing a sprite / 3D model driven experience, the central part of that grid is wherever the player character is on the screen at that moment.

summer cedar
#

This is one of the reasons radial menus that pop-up at the cursor's location have become popular.

#

If the player's eyes have to go outside the central area, it's going to degrade the playing experience.

Look at this one... Yeah in this level I really exxagerated ahhaha

If you really feel that way, I'll take 5% of all gross sales BEFORE tax deduction.

#

Er, no. I accept payment by Paypal and UPI.

#

By the way, is this one of those black and white text games? Are there pixel graphics or 3D graphics of any kind?

obsidian turret
#

when you read notes

#

it's a 3D game

#

im so excited finally will finish building my pc this month... after using same laptop for last 9 years

summer cedar
#

Congrats! ๐Ÿ˜

west yacht
#

took me 6 months to build it

#

but i wanted to learn UE and my laptop pretty dying even on small landscape creation/aplying materials

#

xD

#

well probably there isn't much people naive enough to try run UE 5 on RTX 960M ๐Ÿ˜„ ๐Ÿ˜„

summer cedar
#

๐Ÿ˜›

west yacht
#

idk how much better 970M is

summer cedar
#

It's okay for everything that doesn't involve particles and heavy landscapes.

west yacht
#

anyway now i will have normal PC with 4070 Ti super so hope i will be able to do pretty anything in UE

summer cedar
#

For learning, light work, etc., it's fine. ๐Ÿ™‚

#

I am certainly not using Lumen and such.

west yacht
#

well what i heard 960M is a lot worse than regular 960

summer cedar
#

M is basically card -50%.

west yacht
#

tho still better than integrated intel graphics

#

xD

summer cedar
#

I am quite excited about the AMD CPUs like the 8000G, which comes with Radeon 780M something graphics in just ONE chip.

west yacht
#

well my "gaming" laptop is 9 years old yet

summer cedar
#

Benchmarks say it's great for 1080p gaming and even a bit of 1440p gaming.

#

And you save on buying a GPU.

#

That 780M is about 13% better than my 970M.

#

So, you can do Unreal too without splurging on a GPU. ๐Ÿ˜„

west yacht
#

still doing really well, like everything works fine its not shuting down or overheating etc but its old

summer cedar
#

Yeah, I've never had Unreal crash on me so far.

west yacht
#

but i were expecting that much when were buying it

summer cedar
#

But, I haven't used particles and stuff. Live viewport and in-editor game build and run, etc. all work quite well.

west yacht
#

these time it were pretty powerful gaming machine

only thing i did on it were upgrading ram to 16g

summer cedar

Ah, sunset is approaching.

what game it is?

summer cedar
#

west yacht
#

its something new?

#

didnt heard bout

#

ah 22

#

seems interesting AG_Think

brittle holly
#

@broken sigil my entire arsenal and all of my shards to craft more ammo, all to kill one apex rock breaker. But got the 2x claws

#

Yet another 2h of game time wasted on a little thing lol

summer cedar
tulip orbit
brittle holly
#

I prly need more skill points and better weapons

tulip orbit
#

or play on normal like I did

#

I had loots of shards by the end

tulip orbit
west yacht
#

probably gonna continue with learning... i had issue with mouse as well so 2 days didnt opened UE but now i got new one finally

#

like right button were broken so when i wanted move on level i kept opening context menu instead ๐Ÿ˜„

brittle holly
#

Frustrating as can be ๐Ÿ˜…

west yacht
#

so tried older mouse i had but there was broken scroll button

#

๐Ÿ˜„

tulip orbit
west yacht
#

im not much into challenges as well, games are supposed to be fun not frustration

brittle holly
#

That thing is loud af

tulip orbit
#

huh, never had that happen. Only fought 2 or 3 of them tho

brittle holly
#

Yeah, itโ€™s happened to me consistently

#

Only rock breakers for some reason

tulip orbit
#

I just wish normal difficulty was a little easier... for me it was a little too hard. But at the same time, in the first game by about halfway thru I could take down thunderjaws with little to no issue....

brittle holly
#

Prly the scariest thing you can do on ultra hard is a Cauldron lol

#

Same as the first game

#

Nowhere to hide

tulip orbit
#

yeah that always sucked, but you knew what you were getting into about 90% of the time, so you could prep

brittle holly
#

Just getting tossed around like a salad

brittle holly
#

After a few deaths the tips tell you that you can load pre-entry

there was one fight in the FW dlc where suddenly there was a giant new monster right in my face, and the arena was tiny

west yacht
#

last one quite crazy

#

good work

tulip orbit
#

wasnt me, was the game's team. They made a whole bunch ๐Ÿ˜„

west yacht
#

i really hope ill handle to fulfill my dream

#

really wanna work in team creating games

#

still i have too long way to go Sadge

tulip orbit
#

a team would be great. I could really use an artist... and a writer.... and a programmer... and a designer.... or two or three hundred of each...

west yacht
#

got some basics on programming and started learn to work with UE

tulip orbit
#

my last entry in my gamedev changelog is dated april 21st.... so I've done nothing in so long ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

west yacht
#

still not sure what actually want to do but main point is do someting creative and mainly leave dumb works as one im doing rn

west yacht
#

I've been putting it off for too long

#

now im almost 33 and not only i have like minimal experiences with programming and so but im still trapped in automotive where they literally dont want me to think about my work (not like i were curious about it anyway)

#

and i started take it seriously because im feeling like my brain is dying slowly there

deep copper
west yacht
#

part of excuse is that i were most of times just demotivated to do anything after work, just burn out and exhausted

#

wonder if i was doing better if i had chance to continue study right after high school

#

atleast i finally forced myself to build that new pc and finally started to do something on (almost) daily basis

#

actually hasnt any clue how to start with UE and in the end i choosed some youtube tutorial with like 82 or so episodes where guy showing how to make simple RPG

tulip orbit
#

same here man... a bit of programming in highschool/college but no affordable opportunities to get anywhere. Now 20 years of trades, got into ue4 in my 30s as well. But day job leaves me too physically and mentally exhausted to get anything done on my game

west yacht
#

so that way i should see many vartious aspects of creating whole game as well as see many things in UE

tulip orbit
#

yet here I am, diving into making a character in c++..... I forget all the things I need for the player tho ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

west yacht
#

as im now im just too much off the road

#

and i literally hate this work and dont see any point in doing it other than i can pay my bills

tulip orbit
#

I've fallen too far out of touch to do anything computer related as a job, other than data entry.... but I need a better day job

west yacht
#

3 years ago i tried university but werent able pass first semester

#

bcuz of maths

#

but i were able to pass programming subject

#

so decided to fight on my own as it seems im still not completely lost

west yacht
#

well university math too much for somebody who also working full time while studying

tulip orbit
#

I lose count putting coffee grounds in my coffee maker

west yacht
#

its not like i didnt understand anything, it were more like after all these years i just need more time to get like half of that things i were studying there

#

bruh most funny thing is that originally i were curious about study AI

tulip orbit
#

couple more years, AI will be studying you

west yacht
#

and after i seen some things there i were like no way...

#

and after all that boom around AI i reralized i dont like it that much at all

#

so decided i wanna do with games

#

as its something what brought me to programming

#

i do remember how i had my first pc and after played some games i were like "how it even works like" and started to look for answers, some open sources and programming

#

but when finished high school i were forced to live on my own and it were quite tought

#

so there had no time to continue

#

and once i started to handle life finally i forget bout what i wanted to do

tulip orbit
#

I did a course at the local community college, but after I signed up they changed the course from c++ to java/delphi and that put me off programming for 15yrs

west yacht
#

lol

#

even such things happens?

tulip orbit
#

probably would have been ok if the instructor had any idea teaching java.... but even the smart kids in the class nearly failed

#

and I pretty much failed the math course outright.... boolean math killed me

#

and binary math

#

and the teachers thick polish accent

#

anyways. I need a smoke. gonna take the garbage out and get some fresh air

west yacht
#

๐Ÿ˜„

#

enjoy

west yacht
#

but funny is im telling same when go smoke at work

#

that i need some fresh air ๐Ÿ˜„

oh good. I found a fix for the HORRIBLE lag in 5.4. Disabled the Telemetry plugin.

#

tho it was a good preview for when I code the rest of my game

tulip orbit
#

the what processes? and how?

#

hm. shrugs

#

only new thing I see is something named Zen storage service or something

#

and the live coding console but thats old

#

I was using 5.1 before and never had any lag. it was just 5.4 that had really bad lag and a bunch of popups I skipped thru faster than I should have on install

#

...I think I should goto bed.... brain is shutting down quick I think...

Why do people say "the early 2000s were" as if were out of the early 2000s

#

Give it 2-600 years atleast, gosh darn

depends on how you say it, if you say twenty ten or two thousand and ten

errant raven
#

I dont get it

pearl elk
#

well if you say 20... 10

#

then it is early 00s

#

I dont know alot of people who say two thousand and twenty four, maybe because its easier to count decades when you dont live multiple hundreds of years

#

it'll be early 21 hundreds just like we say early 19 hundreds versus late one thousand

hello again

#

i do have question i dont know where i can put it

#

should i install win10 on my new pc and upgrade once support end or should i just go for win11? i never tried win11 and heard it got quite different UI and idk how it is with software compatibility overall (not only UE)

summer cedar
#

The great city is being built! All hail the great Manor Lord!

celest musk
#

some new processors benefit a lot from win11

#

e.g. the new intel ones with E-Cores

west yacht
#

have ryzen 7 7800x3d bought

west yacht
#

i plan to buy that game too, heard many positives about

summer cedar
#

Someone posted in the #hardware the other day, that Win11 was working fine with their new setup. UE was fine too.

#

You should go for Win 11 anyway, because Win 10 will become obsolete courtesy MS shenanigans and you'll have to upgrade eventually. So why not?

#

I hope you have the Pro version.

#

Not that plebian Home crap.

west yacht
summer cedar
#

My understanding is that you can make it look like Win 10, simplify it further.

#

There are some Win Hacks online for that purpose. ๐Ÿ™‚

west yacht
#

like when i swapped to new it always were quite challenge to get used to where is what lol

west yacht
summer cedar
#

Those who don't want to spend on Pro, I guess.

west yacht
#

i mean if its not preinstalled it doesnt make sense as prices are pretty similar

#

hmm

#

well when im gonna buy windows im sure always looking for best offer first so price shouldnt be that much of issue actually

summer cedar
#

I wonder why people like to buy windows so much. Why don't they buy doors?

west yacht
#

well here in my country most people i talked with dont even have bought windows... but since i plan to use it for gamedev i dont want to risk any future probs

#

anyway idk what a issue when in eu is software reselling common thing so everything can get for fair price (as long as i can avoid shady sites/scams)

Druid magic, probably.

#

It's an ancient science, called strike-from-the-bark.

#

Yes, it's made in UE. Manor Lords.

#

The ghosting might be because FSR is enabled. It's bringing the resolution down to keep the frame rate high on my rig.

ue is really capable when used i guess

but I am sure it's also huge ๐Ÿ˜ญ

the game

celest musk
#

yea, if you like to play upsampled 640x480

summer cedar
#

@trail ore I take that back. It's not because of FSR.

#

Just checked; there's ghosting when you raise the game speed.

#

At x12 speed, you can see it clearly. At x4 it's not that bad.

deep copper
#

summer cedar
#

I've almost reached 200 families.

#

The game is chugging.

#

I THINK I'm going to hit the upper limit that the game can handle on my rig, at least at x12 speed.

deep copper
summer cedar
# deep copper that's not a lot

It probably is. At 600 individual entities being simulated on the screen, the game's probably struggling at 12x speed on my rig. It's 4 entities per family, basically.

deep copper
summer cedar
#

It's more all their actions. The game has to calculate what they are doing, all their tasks, etc. etc., including how they respond to different weather, climate, etc, trade calculations, building, etc. Lots of etc.s there, I am sure you noticed. ๐Ÿ˜„

#

I could probably lower the graphics settings a bit and push it, if I want to continue on 12x, but I don't imagine it's worth it.

#

There's not a lot to do anymore. The large town can't evolve further. They are self-sufficient, too.

I'll save it and most definitely quit. Can't leave it running all night, can I? ๐Ÿ˜„

Kinda like how helldivers 2 players occasionally joke about treason/heresy etc

Joined a Sopranos server, got muted for 24 hours for telling them thehre not gang members just for watching a few movies and a tv show

They take thst shit really seriously for some unknown reason?

pearl elk

Oh I just saw it somewhere else

#

All that just to steer people to their service, what a stupid mistake

regal pecan
#

It makes management look bad whenever their game development revenue has to be attributed to the work of a team of game developers.

#

Naturally they'd see the game was a way to promote their tangential-at-best distribution platform.

pearl elk
#

yeah, wouldnt want to perpetuate the myth that games development is profitable

errant raven
#

We all know consoles are dying tho

pearl elk
#

Well I mean technically consoles became PCs with expanded instruction sets and phones took on RISC processors so maybe consoles just evolved

regal pecan
#

Mobile games and social media eat user time that may have been spent on consoles. That's not the same as dying. But for a corporate bureaucracy that would rather sell their shareholders on growth than stability...

# empty dune Goddamn Sony got helldived

Yeah. This'll be followed by the usual Japanese 'sorry, sorry' bullshit. Then, they'll put their heads together and figure out how to screw the players another way. This is why devs should be VERY careful about entering exclusivity agreements.

#

What a waste of time, energy, and money though.

#

They delisted the game in so many countries. Now, they have to waste human resources and time re-listing it.

#

I doubt it's the end of the saga. Even the developer doesn't say that he's against the PSN account linking; just that he's sorry he didn't communicate the requirement well enough before launch. I sense Bullshit Saga Part 2 on the horizon.

pearl elk
#

I think they saw the stats on where the game was bought and realised they might lose more sales than they expected

summer cedar
#

The 100,000 negative nuke bombs probably helped a bit. ๐Ÿ˜„ @empty dune So, can you play again now, or do you have to wait for the game to be listed?

check the project folder too... sometimes you find a few GB of starter content or tree models or somin

summer cedar

I wonder just how must crap is there in the Engine - Content folder that I don't need.

#

Well, I just figured out how to delete the HLODs - that isn't mentioned in the first page of a google search.

#

You just delete the landscape meshes and stuff, keep some of the lighting to prevent black screen of annoyance, and then Build All Levels.

#

UE gives you the option of DELETE HLODs. โœŠ Now, it's a nice empty folder.

ye i got friends who are cops and met a whole bunch of whom i think are amazing people, but the abuse of power is really widespread and imo a real problem, not just in regards to cops, i get that its a stressful af job with little ressources to make up for it, and the reasons for that are further up and down the chain

#

the consequences are just darn traumatizing in some cases

deep copper
summer cedar
# empty dune Also, how tf do you keep getting so many families

There's a min-max method to Manor Lords at the moment.

  1. Convert your gypsy tent into a Temporary Worker Camp for 1 wood immediately, when the game starts. It prevents the opinion from falling under 50. Set up a market stall near it, so they can sell their own supplies to themselves.
  2. Build a storehouse and a granary. Follow that up with a hunting camp, woodcutter's lodge, and logging camp. Forager's hut can follow afterwards, if needed.
  3. You start with fifty pieces o' silver. Invest all of that in your level 1 plots to get 3 vegetables farms (15+15+15).
  4. Build a Trading Post next, followed by a Sawmill. Tell the traders to sell excess planks; set surplus to 20 or 30. Remember to tell your Sawmill to conserve 10-20 logs for construction purposes.
  5. As you build more housing plots, remember to use your trading income to build more vegetable plots and hen houses for eggs. One or two goat pastures for hides is also good, but not essential.
  6. In the technology screen, invest in ox plow tech (which you will never use) and get to Bakeries as soon as possible. Then, invest in Apiaries (for honey) and go for the Apple Orchards next.
  7. Don't build a Forester's Hut until you see a lot of the trees disappear. Your woodcutter and logging camp must be working in SEPARATE areas, and both these areas should be different from the BERRIES and ANIMALS zones. Set your Forester Hut and Woodcutter's Lodge to work in the same zone. They can support each other. Don't bother supporting the Logging Camp. They cut way too fast and there's plenty of other trees to burn. You can import wood after a point, if needed.

You will never run out of food, your peoples' opinions will be high, and you will get a constant stream of immigrants.

how long in the game are you

summer cedar
#

I have nearly 200 families and I stopped there. There's nothing for them to do anymore.

empty dune
#

which year

summer cedar
#

Uh, probably into the fourth or fifth year. I have a set of apple orchards and they take three years to mature. So, definitely four... maybe five.

empty dune
#

nice

summer cedar
#

It's impossible to lose at this point and I need more tech unlocks and village levels to proceed further.

#

Otherwise, everyone will be unemployed. I've got 14 unemployed families already.

empty dune
#

oh btw, i hope you know youve been conscripted to playtest my game whenever i get around making the damn demo

summer cedar
#

Oh yes, I also forgot to say. You need to build several Storehouses.

#

The stupid storehouses need more upgrades, because the storehouse employees set up stalls to sell stuff to the stupid serfs.

#

At this moment, I have SIX storehouses, I think and only ONE of them has any employees NOT running a stall.

empty dune
summer cedar
#

That, but not having storehouses scattered across your town means that many of your people won't get anything.
