If your game contains elements of horror, or slightly dark atmosphere, then you can start off with the player's hand jutting out of the ground.
Close up camera shot, of course. Then, the player slowly digs himself out.
He's surrounded by.... whatever circumstances you choose.

The intro begins with the player trapped behind subway car that's derailed, blocking the way forward.
The player moves into the car, towards the blocked door (WASD tutorial).
The player picks up a crowbar lying nearby and smashes the door repeatedly (light attack, heavy attack tutorial).
The door breaks and the crowbar goes with it.

Sure.

Someone said this to me recently.
"My belief with this whole thing that they're doing is that ultimately they want Canada because water. Our future as a species depends on us adapting to climate change and Canada has more water than the rest of the world.
For the US, they're trying to force the civil War. This way they will be able to identify exactly who is on their side and who isn't.
The anti-vaccination/medication/research is an attempt to bring down the population of the United States before it gets to the point that they absolutely do not have the resources to support themselves. Yes, they're already there, but they are fucking resilient and they will come out on top unless something else comes and wipes them out
Defunding education means simpler people that have no critical thinking process and are therefore less likely to oppose.
And deportation just plays into reduction of population. As well as reduction in education."

Newer games aren't bad
or games using custom solutions ofc
I didn't even notice this

Speaking of custom, someone was saying on another server that the Oblivion remake is Beth using UE5 for graphics and Creation Engine to run the calculations.
summer cedar
It makes me wonder if they're testing the popularity of UE5 with their customers. If Oblivion remastered does well, then they'll probably shift ES 6 to UE 5 too.
errant raven
Is subnautica fun
summer cedar
Abomination engine
It might be a good compromise for Bethesda, actually. They are very comfortable with Creation Engine, because they have customised it for their RPGs over the decades.
errant raven
I downloaded the forest again just in case the ocean game scares me too much
summer cedar
So, marrying it to UE 5, to take advantage of stability, graphics, tech, rendering, etc. might be a great way to not reinvent the wheel.
If it works......
OR it'll be a great disaster and God Todd will be replaced by God Brod.

There's a lovely mod that lets you convert your outpost into a growing city.
Like ships come and go, people visit and leave, etc. But it requires SKSE, so steam only.
I play on Game Pass.
mild gust
Did they make it so you can fly across the entire planet now
or does the game still bug out
summer cedar
How do you mean?
mild gust
Guess so
mild gust
I recall early versions it would bug out due to origin
mild gust
Maybe just a console thing then
summer cedar
The only crash I had was after 150 hours.
The game WANTS you to complete a run and start a new run.
Otherwise, once the game size bloats after 200-ish hours, it crashes a lot.
The PoI mod is a godsend, though.
It makes every planet FULL of PoIs. Lots of places to get into a shootout.

Total annihilation!
