celest musk
still pretty big tho
summer cedar
I think they're following the Diablo-style.
celest musk
i haven't accepted the new EULA yet, so i can't tell you
summer cedar
But, slightly larger... for originality. 😄
Just like the slanted posture.
Nothing much to read.
You sell us your soul.
We take your time, money, and dreams
celest musk
i think it's just that you have to pay if you do non game stuff, too
summer cedar
You publish zero games.
celest musk
like royality for movie productions, etc.
celest musk
for game dev nothing changed
summer cedar
The non-game stuff was announced a slight while ago.
For us devs, they have no hope. 😄
So, no changes.
How bad are your lights that you can't see still?
Have you turned them on?
Some people say that's a nice thing to do.
celest musk
well, i tested with like 200 moving lights and it didn't affect fps much
while it was unplayable without megalights
summer cedar
So, it does mysterious juju with bulbs to make things go smoothly.
summer cedar
aren't emissive materials cloth bulbs?
bulbs that the tailor charges you more money to stitch?
Cool, emissive maps remind me of Photoshop's inner and outer glow effects.
I used to play with them A LOT with text especially.
celest musk
me, too. when i was 13
and glowing text was cool
then i got older and more depressed and used glow only to drop black outlines/shadows
summer cedar
I rarely use them now.
Cool gradient backgrounds with dark colours and white text just works.
Especially with artistic type.
Question: In this texture node cluster, why is the texture sample for the emissive node directed through a multiple node?
for extra oomph?
OH.... that kind of multiplier....
Cool.
But, do you have to do that every time manually? Or are those nodes set up for you when you just create an emissive color?
👍
Gotta invest more money in some Unreal AI.
All this manual labour is very bad.

No problem. Everyone benefits. 🙂

while it was unplayable without megalights
what are megalights just watched the stream is it a new light type or a toggle?
celest musk
project setting probably
or r.megalights command
the preview should have the setting somewhere tho, there was a commit for it in the last days
celest musk
they even changed to MegaLights from ManyLights
i mean, the description is in the command?!
there are two modes
and a bunch of control parameters
rare sparrow
Isn't that usually the case until full release?
rare sparrow
Ah, it requires hardware raytracing
median wraith
whats going on about the cool new features
median wraith
Ah, it requires hardware raytracing
makes sense since the Nvidia tech does too, don't ?
river sable
wtf are MegaLights
fervent wagon
Nanite for lights
river sable
is it like RTXDI?
median wraith
just surproses me that don't support software raytracing or something
median wraith
is it like RTXDI?
technically
river sable
very cool
median wraith
reflections in the demo looks kinda strange, maybe limitations
but is awesome how many lights you can have there. plus all shadows etc
damm sexy
median wraith
didn't expect the static light suppport here
@broken sigil did you checked this vehicle sim in runtime ?
celest musk
great, i probably spent 2 weeks to implement morph baking
now it's an engine feature 😠
celest musk
that's one light tho... duplicate it 100 times
celest musk
i wonder how they solved the underlaying geometry thing, since that was on my todo list, too
median wraith
is the light inside the cube ?
and does the light have enabled
raytracing ?
what gpu you have ?
river sable
that's a feature
celest musk
is that the plugin?
queen isle
Ok I saw megalights showcase. It got me. It's very amazing
median wraith

celest musk
hmm, it sounds like this is an editor thing, and wouldn't work on runtime?! :/
median wraith
seems like have multiple parts
celest musk
so probably only good enough to make a bunch of NPCs from presets
median wraith
dynamic and static
celest musk
hmm
median wraith
but need some files baking in order to work with
celest musk
hmm, seems like the assets have to be set up in a specific way for it to work as it clips by volume for the underlying geometry stuff
-_-
i had hoped for some smarter solution
well, it's beta, maybe it gets improved over time
summer cedar
hmm, seems like the assets have to be set up in a specific way for it to work as...
Does it hate intersecting geometry, or does it require geometry to be touching one another perfectly?
celest musk
the idea is that it removes geometry which is likely to cause clipping issues
summer cedar
Oh, this is Mutable?
celest musk
yes, one feature of it
summer cedar
Sorry, I was still thinking about the megalights.
celest musk
they always make fun of unreal not having documentation...
but i'm watching some unity streamer trying to understand something from Unity docs right now
and maybe it's for the better that we don't have docs 😄
well i can see the docs, they are confusing af
they just want to async load files
now they are stuck on addressable assets, build schemas and build groups 😄

<@261183265438695424> did you checked this vehicle sim in runtime ?
Hm which sim?
celest musk
they pretty much also did what @nova herald did, with modular vehicles...
not exactly the same, but kinda similar
broken sigil

How did you set that up? Chaos? lots of custom code?
broken sigil
How did you set that up? Chaos? lots of custom code?
it's a custom physics sim
https://youtu.be/G6haoR3OPYs
tulip orbit
ah, so not even using Chaos as a base?
I know I tried in 4.27, and had all sorts of problems (the least of which being my inexperience in c++)
celest musk
in 4.27 the name chaos was the state of the physics engine 😄
broken sigil
ah, so not even using Chaos as a base?
it's using chaos as the physics engine, but the vehicle dynamics modelling is all custom, tire model, engine, gearbox, clutch, etc... is all custom
The wheels also aren't real colliders, I'm modelling the collision forces of the wheel myself and applying them
So completely separate from Chaos vehicles
celest musk
but that looks really nice BM, mind to drop a MP link?

Not out yet, it's gonna be a free update to my existing vehicle physics plugin
Tldr; it's basically a complete rewrite of my old plugin

Ah ok, might be a bit beyond my skills to do myself
celest musk
mostly curious what the price tag is (vehicles aren't my main focus, but if it's not too expensive i might consider it)
tulip orbit
oh its a plugin? hells yeah. I'll have to keep an eye out for it if I decide to give up on my current projects and start yet another one 😄
broken sigil
mostly curious what the price tag is (vehicles aren't my main focus, but if it's...
it's 80$ at the moment, I'm probably gonna bump it up to 95-100 probably a month after I release the update
celest musk
ok, that seems to be affordable 😄
was just concerned it would be one of those $500 plugins
also i think with fab you can have an more expensive "enterprise" license?!
broken sigil
was just concerned it would be one of those $500 plugins
if my younger self had a brain for doing business back it 2016 when I first released it, it would probably have been a little bit higher
But since it's been at 80$ for years I'm not gonna bump it up too much 😅
Also releasing it as an update, so anyone who has it already will get it for free once it's out
Not gonna be a separate plugin
celest musk
oh we can add Fallout to the list of Movies/Series which used UE for VP

celest musk
they will hold a whole talk about it
there's the sneak peak 😄
kinda impressive movie set
for a nerd 😄
unreal ether
i like how that implies that nerds usually make unimpressive movie sets, like it's a really common hobby :P
"Honey, are you making another goddamn movie set?"
"Ah shit"
They really should have just filmed the fallout stuff on location, screw the CGI, just nuke somewhere
The CGI for the gulper was absolutely horrific
Whichever team member said "lets make the gulper a giant axolotl with a mouth full of fingers" deserves a payrise and a psych eval
(also didn't know they used unreal until now)
celest musk
i like how that implies that nerds usually make unimpressive movie sets, like it...
i mean compared to just a few greenscreens or one big LED wall
and for a nerd means, that it's probably not impressive for someone who rather appreciates a well crafted real movie set

I'm wondering here now
If the raytracing will pass to all games or a postprocess filtering driven by AI
will come to the front first
watching this GTA videos using AI etc
summer cedar
the latter.
soft night
summer cedar
effective ray-tracing is still costly, thanks to NVidia's pricing.
fake ray-tracing will probably become very popular.
median wraith
well nvidia pricing have nothing todo here
summer cedar
it does, because gamers can't afford the high-end RTX cards.
So, they can't really turn on ray-tracing in their games without performance drops.
median wraith
the effective cost on the GPUs still costly and idk if you now remove the AI cores and add more RT efficent ones or something can help
summer cedar
As a dev, using a fake RT filter makes sense.
median wraith
you could have 2 branches
summer cedar
not worth it. Wasn't there a survey that said majority of the gamers are still using, what?, 1060 something?
median wraith
well they are waiting for an update
most of the users still on those as most of the users at this point are careless of graphics so
problem is they see a realistic game high optimized and they think that will be costly
so they don't get it
summer cedar
When we get a majority of platforms that can render RTX effectively, it'll become dev standard.
until then... filter up. 😄
median wraith
seems like most popular now is the 3060
that's a x2 of the 1060
lots of people with worst ones too but
summer cedar
It'll get there eventually.
Sep 3rd, 2024 survey of gaming devices - 68.7 percent of internet users worldwide played video games on smartphones
🤔 If that holds true, then when smartphones can do RTX with decent frame rates, it's worth having an RT branch for your game.
soft night

summer cedar

summer cedar
the last I heard, they are teaming up with NVidia to share chip tech and make something with an Indian touch.
🤷
Usually, Indians tend to play things close to the vest.
median wraith
thing is if you can render a game with no Postprocess at all, and the minimal quality and on top of that build a IA realtime filtering
then you have 6-8ms just for the IA to compute and will be faster than raytracing
a the base game can easy cost 2ms
oh there are free assets this month

I wonder what the threshold is.
summer cedar

Latest news. Apparently, Indian companies are focusing on AI GPUs, in co-operation with NVidia.
I am going to gamble that the first GPUs out of those factories will be like those Tensor GPUs.
They are also investing in a 10,000-GPU sovereign AI supercomputer; whatever that's supposed to do.

I have a noob question here for anyone who has ever published a game on steam.
Q: is the $100 payment necessary to get in the front door (ie. see the webportal)? Because it seems to be, its just I dont have anything to actually sell yet, just wanted to discover more about the process.
coral widget
I have a noob question here for anyone who has ever published a game on steam.
Q...
It is, plus the NDA won't allow you to talk about this anyway
Some youtubers seemed to disregard this though you'll find some info there
But the steamworks system is not for the public
carmine wraith
It is, plus the NDA won't allow you to talk about this anyway
I just read the NDA in full (one of the only times). But what part of it would mean steamworks discussion as a whole is party/part-of the NDA?
coral widget
You can't show / expose visuals, details though
But yes the fee is required, it will be reimbursed after the first $1000 in sales
carmine wraith
Anyhow, just checking i didn't miss something.
coral widget
Most would rather not risk it by talking about it at all heh
carmine wraith
The thing is im just wanting to setup an account. And the fee is described as per title. I have no title.
coral widget
I'm sure if you have specific questions people will answer anyway
summer cedar
Anyhow, just checking i didn't miss something.
You need to pay the fee to see the main interface, yes.
But to register, see the pretty minimalist white space website, etc., you just need the account.

Also, just in case someone's wondering, you can't pay with Doggy Coins.
coral widget
Hehe
carmine wraith
So basically i dont gain anything by finishing the "onboarding process".
If I have nothing to sell, yet.
summer cedar
Also, for your own benefit, check out the creation of a proprietorship in your country first.
coral widget
They wouldn't gain anything either by letting someone without a product in, though. Right? (looking at both faces of the coin)
summer cedar
So that instead of marketing yourself as an individual, you'd be a firm/company/shop.
Then use that proprietorship's name in the forms that you need to fill.
carmine wraith
for game studios in the usa, its usually an LLC
coral widget
Especially if you live in a very litigious country.
carmine wraith
(i believe)
summer cedar
You can be a meth lab in reality too, no problem. The point is to separate yourself from the publishing entity as little or as much as possible.
coral widget
(i believe)
I mean yes... depending on the state it may cost more or less, but that's a limited liability company and that's the least you'd want.
summer cedar
A proprietorship is the 'as little' part.
carmine wraith
i went through the process as Sole Proprietor
summer cedar
LLC would be 'a bit more' part and involve accounting.
coral widget
The details are for you to figure out.
vestal sky
i went through the process as Sole Proprietor
Yeah you can always change it later
coral widget
Or also go through an actual publisher.
As your startup company which is just for dev purposes.
summer cedar
and gimme your money.
coral widget
Well of course it's all money.
summer cedar
mine
carmine wraith
I also used my regular steam account. Because .. I mean this is, at this time anyway, for learning purposes.
summer cedar
It's not your Steam account.
coral widget
Already by selling on steam you are "losing" (bad mindset, they are also providing you with a platform that has a lot of exposure) a big chunk
coral widget
Also just in case you were wondering even if your title will be free for all, it still has to pay the fee.
carmine wraith
That does not seem to be the case, for me just going through the process.
summer cedar
That does not seem to be the case, for me just going through the process.
It is, even though the name and password are the same.
carmine wraith
I signed in using my steam account and same password and was not asked to create anything, and it verified my signin via an email sent to my email i never game them.
coral widget
Technically a bad idea
carmine wraith
i figured as much
coral widget
both on safety and for legal reasons :p
summer cedar
Also, an aside. Make sure the persona you are using to talk about your game, talk to your customers, talk on Steam, etc. is different from your regular Discord account.
coral widget
But that's the thing, for learning purposes there's not much you can do anyway
summer cedar
Otherwise, you MIGHT have a problem, unless you are shameless like me.
carmine wraith
but my steam account has next to no activity, though it might be weird if i post answers in community or review responses and people then friend the account and see ive played 999k hours of hentai anime chicks or something

Otherwise, you MIGHT have a problem, unless you are shameless like me.
Legally speaking? you could just make someone up, too. Because well, it's a Discord account.

Yes, but I am shameless. So I'll say I hate someone and ask them to buy my game at the same time.
coral widget

summer cedar
But, for legal reasons, yes, have two accounts.
One for being nice and making money.
coral widget
"and one for being yourself"
summer cedar
The other for complaining about your customers behind their back.
coral widget
Don't do that.
carmine wraith
well, idk about for legal reasons, more like being smart about your public image, its marketing
coral widget
That's the thing though but it'll end up into a political ball of fur if I elaborate as to why customers are the way they are now
summer cedar
well, idk about for legal reasons, more like being smart about your public image...
there's legal reasons depending on the region.
I assume the EU would be a problem. I THINK their customers can sue your online persona.
But, not sure about that.
coral widget
Just for security reasons you'd want all separate details, separate accounts for everything
summer cedar
That too.
coral widget
That in turn gives you isolation which will help with the other subject.
Unless you forget to switch accounts. I've seen it.
carmine wraith
i figure at some point closer to having a real product, i would want a new steam account, a new associated steamworks account to that, a new email, a new discord account, an actual LLC
unless i start just posting some random small games not expecting much from them
coral widget
I assume the EU would be a problem. I THINK their customers can sue your online ...
That could turn into a wildgoose chase ending up in some random people with the same nickname receiving a subpoena or worse :p

It's funny how shorts in vertical format are both being pushed by platforms AND receiving the most engagement. Even if it's a random nonsense video, it will get pushed.
(I've tested it!)
carmine wraith
i mean tiktok is essentially a mobile app first, and has hugely more and better short-format content, and everyone else is just copying them
its really really nice though that you can actually share urls and watch tiktok videos in a regular browser without logging in or having an account, just like youtube, though

Hey so creating an itch.io account and reading its creator faq/tos .. So there is no revenue sharing at all, evidently, because they actually dont handle payment/transactions at all? Um ive heard really bad things about Paypal in regards to refund charges.
is Stripe any better than that?
summer cedar
It's a question of percentages in commissions and charges, I assume.
Use whichever is more profitable.
vestal sky
PayPal business is actually pretty decent but yeah it’s more how much is their cut
carmine wraith
this was the pirate software guy speaking of twitch donations
summer cedar
If you are Patreoning, you can also use a Payoneer account.
carmine wraith
and was saying do not accept paypal, use bits
because someone can tip you 1 dollar via paypal
but if they refund that 1 dollar
vestal sky
this was the pirate software guy speaking of twitch donations
For streaming yes
carmine wraith
you the person being tipped, end up with a 15 dollar charge
vestal sky
it’s a huge problem for streaming yea
vestal sky
My opinion it’s more a problem if your a streamer accepting donations
It’s different if your a business using them as a payment platform
in that lense yeah don’t use PayPal
carmine wraith
why would it be different? paypal actually has terms specifically for streamers?
vestal sky
It has more to do with how the payment is processed
carmine wraith
if you have a bunch of 1 dollar games on itch.io that seems like it could def. generate refund requests
vestal sky
You gain more tools if you use a business account and have more control and “power” over a customer trying to refund
because with a product you can show PayPal you delivered the product for example
It doesn’t eliminate the problem
But it’s certainly more common I’d say for streamers
carmine wraith
i see. well, paypal for business purposes, is another thing for me to start learning about, then
vestal sky
yeah end of the day see what has the best percentage for you
PayPal like everyone wants their cut 🤣
carmine wraith
afaik cashapp has no withdraw fee
vestal sky
PayPal technically doesn’t if you use bank transfer
however that does take longer
but that’s awesome
carmine wraith
ah, its the same thing then, cashapp has a fee (it its super low though) for instant
vestal sky
Yeah that’s how PayPal is instant is a small fee
carmine wraith
how do they actually make money though?
vestal sky
yeah and then withdraw fee too unless you opt for bank transfer

Belgium has become number 1 in the world, thanks to its perennial supply of food, fish, wine, and for some reason - elephants. Yes, Belgium produces elephants.
It also eradicated a tribe that refused to listen to reason. It was the only tribe that didn't accede to a life of drinking and dancing. They wanted laws, policing, labour protection, education, and such other blasphemous things. They were duly destroyed.

belgium not drinking?
No, no. God, no. Heavens, no.
By the holy guitar, no.
It was that one tribe that didn't drink.
So we killed them.
Well, there was also the laws and protections, and fair treatment that they wanted.... but the not drinking part was a major bummer.
The French came too close to Belgian territories.
Since they refuse to bow to the Holy Waffle, they will be eradicated.

But my left hand is naturally a bit more jittery with very precise small movements and need longer warmups to get back to my usual aiming performance before jumping in a game (that's what I use aim trainers for)

When I game I have the keyboard slanted at a weird angle, like 45-50 degrees
My pinky is for jumping for me, I also use it to hit super glides in apex which requires me to press space and B (mapped for slide/crouch) right after one another, has to be within 1 frame of when you hit space to activate

tho the 2nd one I'm switching between is decay at 0.1 and sens multiplier at 0.7
and this one
still experimenting but this first "natural" one at the moment feels the best to me

Anyone have a 3D printer or know of someone who does? I'm trying to test my zbrush models to see if they print alright and am willing to pay, didn't know if this was job board worthy or not isnce it wasn't Unreal related.

It is a mouse driver whose purpose is to control the motion of the mouse.
Through that UI.
Say, as in this example, you want the initial movement of your mouse to be slower.
This is useful for more precise work with your mouse.
Gamers use it for fame and headshots.

What's that?
A mouse driver that scales the response/sensitivity with your acceleration of the mouse
It's whitelisted by anti cheats and developed in coordination with AC providers so it's safe to use

why is astrobot 70 bucks
I hate this new standard they try to push
I already found 60 bucks too much for most games lol

why is astrobot 70 bucks
Don't lie, probably it is 69.
and 50 cents
very uninformative

hmm... your decay rate is smaller
yeah I like more gradual curve

I like the up down brackets better but this is also pretty
just tested megalights, 900 moving shadow casting lights are running at 24fps (2080)

still 4 on mobile tho. RIP 😄

This hurts my soul.

eh that's just BS
even nintendo did copy some of the game mechanics
e.g. the jetpack thing
celest musk
yea, there is rarely anything innovative in games
they all more or less use the same mechanics, it just scales more with better hardware

Jetpac and Lunar Jetman were the first games to influence me to be a game developer when I was between 6 and 8 years old. I once skipped school to play it and unfortunately it was the same day my parents for the guy across the road to decorate. So he told my parents and I lost my computer for a while. 😄
pop quiz. what is wrong with this model?
yeah flipped normals right?
it's got all the signs. textures look like they are on the inside face, you can see through geometry. Classic case.
So why did some mook from Infinity Ward try to bossmode me and tell me it wasn't? Apparently his 10 years on the factory line has made him blind to the basics.

Looks like inverted normals to me.

this is why I'm perturbed by it. Shouldn't a triple A dev know this?
coral widget
The real question is... how did he land this position
fathom wadi
he was so up himself so I told him triple A were shit and I was right.
sorry if there are other triple A in here who disagree. But I know most of you agree. i've heard the banter of internal politics 😄
coral widget
There's one way to find out, but both parties must agree on this first.
coral widget
A no internet contest. That'll show you who is who.
fathom wadi
you mean a test of knowledge without the internet?

Then I'm likely going to win when it comes to Unreal Engine. But other stuff or maths I google so much
coral widget
That's OK, we all have our strengths and weaknesses. Choose a common topic / subject.
lol

my memory is based on need. If I need it, I remember it. If I might need it later I leave a pointer in my brain and reference it later.
yeah in Blender you can enable normal widgets to show visually and flip accordingly.
there is in the new mesh editing tools
I would do it in the 3d app though in case I needed to do other work on it later. Makes no sense to do it with Unreal on the imported asset, but it does on an in-engine created geometry
oh just showing normals. I see
you ever do programming tests ponkiss?

He's soft-referencing his knowledge, in a way

here is a nice story to alleviate any anxiety if you do.
My family needs money and I'm not making anything from game dev since just before we became homeless. So I went for a government coding job doing devops.
Now this role required no programming experience so I thought I'd have a good chance. I had to learn Python (which I did in a couple of hours) and then did 34 kata tests on Codewars.com to make sure I was well practiced for the test.
So I'm super anxious about doing this. Programming tests peak my anxiety.
I do the test, it's super basic. I did all 4 programming tests with 30 mins to spare. They were all correct, as verified by their own testing routine (if you know python this is a common thing to test functions for edge cases).
So I calm down and think "I'm getting this interview."
I get an email saying I failed the programming test. Even though their own software told me it compiled right, tested against edge cases correctly and everything was tip top, double and triple checked before I submit by test.
They wouldn't even tell me why.
25 years of programming and they are telling me a test their software said I passed, also says I failed somehow.
So if you are ever doing a programming test, don't panic. Even if you pass, you might not pass 😄
I'm not exaggerating when I say this programming test was so simple it was literally basic programming. But I know the code was right. I've written hundreds of thousands of lines of code across several languages over the years. So a basic Python test is not a challenge to me. Bear in mind this was a locked environment too, so I didn't have my usual information sources available. I wasn't allowed to leave the browser page. So everything I wrote, which tested correctly, was from memory.
like one test, for example, I was given a string to manipulate. Another I was asked to calculate the total of all odd numbers in an array. I mean, this isn't rocket science even to a new programmer.
