You think that's bad

150-160?
I think God Todd's Oblivion is a bigger offender, to be honest.
Have you noticed that the game's FULL QUALITY textures look better when you turn DLSS with sharpening ON?
I checked this twice, because I couldn't believe my eyes.
Shoddy, lazy texture work and the whole client is 119GB. They could probably just cut that by 20GB or more, by serving the low quality textures in low resolution, and let DLSS do the work.
summer cedar
Heh. It's a great lesson in how resolution and quality aren't proportionate.
I hope the studio Beth outsourced the work to, scammed them with higher fees.
white oxide
honestly
theres a reason im happy with mid/low poly art and stylized
and its because the basic game files wont be that huge
120gb+ for a game that used to be on a dvd?
just in pure graphics?
unborn lotus
yeah but also there was like a single grass texture that showed repetition everywhere
and very limited recorded lines
for dialogues
white oxide
yeah, you can compress audio a LOT
hell our game plans to have a free audio DLC
replaces the compressed low resource audio with high quality original FLACC files
the textures that are default are 1080/2k and theres a free dlc to up it to 4/16k
why make the core game stupidly huge when theres a lot of people who would prefer to play the game more than stare at the visuals
hell theres still people who want to play new games but only have shit computers
unborn lotus
Not really. People that loved skyrim avoided oblivion because it looked too old
And now they loved it

tbh i get the aged thing

I think we'll see most gaming rigs becoming iGPU-powered, like with the Radeon 8060s in the future.
The tech is advancing quickly (thanks, AMD) and it should save on d-GPU costs.

What is the theoretical smallest size a build of Unreal Engine can be? Like if you take out all plugins, all source code, all utilities except essential development binaries... My source build of the engine on my laptop occupies 300 GB space (I built the engine between windows and linux) but its mostly plugins taking up the space and the engine binaries only take up 20 GB.

Also, this tidbit was interesting - Antilia, the residence of Mukesh and Nita Ambani, does not use traditional air conditioning systems with outdoor units. Instead, it employs a centralized cooling system that regulates the temperature based on elements within the mansion, such as marble, plants, and flowers. The temperature cannot be adjusted manually and is set automatically according to the conditions of the interior. ---
So, the air conditioning there isn't about cooling the people in it. ๐
They've got a hanging garden in there, too, apparently.

Hello! I've tried reaching out to the mods but gotten no reply, so if this is not allowed I guess they'll have to remove the post ๐คทโโ๏ธ (Or the bots maybe, don't know how they work) I'm a Master's student currently working on my thesis on indie devs and GUI. If you're indie and you've worked with GUI in any capacity, I'd super appreciate if you'd like to take the time to answer a ~5-minute survey about your experience. Thanks for your time! ๐ https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeYwD8XlzrwwdCKRdCrT-CKXcbL0gWlrMB1Cc1vCKclKRxwQA/viewform?usp=header

Nobody buys like the American consumer โ believe me. They're strong, they're smart, they drive the whole economy. Other countries? Not even close. We've got the best shoppers in the world, it's true.
we're gonna turn Alcatraz into the best shopping mall
summer cedar
Hopefully, Trump'll think Alcatraz is another country and deport people there, instead of El Salvador.
It'll make getting all of them back in 2028 that much easier.

Im confused, why call it GTA VI... why not GTA VIce City
cursive crypt
Kinda long. But good idea.
pearl elk
Well its not even the 6th game ๐
cursive crypt
It will be the next top, never-seen, AAAAA hit.
Each other month there is one it seems, back to the roots game.
pearl elk
I'll be surprised if you can actually steal cars in it
cursive crypt
If you say prayer before that and press Like, it will be possible.
pearl elk
least it hasnt gone all Fast and Furious
cursive crypt
It has the same vibe from what I have seen.
pearl elk

it's 10 somewhere

At this point it should be just a TV show.
On other hand we need a movies for all ppl who like fast cars ๐ค

I just go drive on the highway

Gran Turismo was crap though lol, basically a worse Days of Thunder

I watch documentary films for that
You must be a boomer then. All the info one need is in reaction video on tiktok few seconds long with brainrot punchlines.

tbh I been watching this channel on YT which is all offroad recovery, its pretty good

I liked watching these about the Siberian roads. Recovery is frequent there too.
Or basically how some ppl survive/live out there in the nothing.

Matts Offroad Recovery its called, all in the US out in the canyons and dunes

Who would have thought making a spline for pcg bigger than a 4k landscape would be a bad idea.
I killed unreal
summer cedar
Best game would be 1px x 1 px only.
If you can't design an entire game within 1 pixel, you are a bad dev.
mild gust
I went to play here to do a test ๐
It's been loading the level for like 10 mins
I expected it to be bad
Don't get me wrong
I knew this was going to end not in my favour
summer cedar
Did you turn on NVidia's FLAME ON option for extra overclock?
I hear that loads your project on ๐ฅ

Darn you know what I forgot

Screenies/Videos please

Pretty!

You want intermittent lighting there.
So that, during the day, patches are bright, while others are foggy.
mild gust
I gotta tweak my sun still
summer cedar
During the night, patches are moonlit, while others are dark.
mild gust
Havn't touched lighting much yet
Besides dragging in the sun
Also tried something different with my videos covered up my task bar
summer cedar
Megalight the trees. ๐
mild gust
Idk if that's a good thing or not
mild gust
Have some bioluminescent plants.
I was considering it actually
Since this will be horror
summer cedar
I am visualising an amazing bioluminiscent forest.
Use negative bioluminesence, too.
Some trees will darken the forest.
Blood moon world and the enchanted forest.
summer cedar
Indeed.
Slime tree at the centre of the forest, is the boss.
Blood tree, Tar tree, Metal tree (Blade tree), and Oil tree are mini-bosses.
mild gust
Blood tree, Tar tree, Metal tree (Blade tree), and Oil tree are mini-bosses.

Nobody is safe out there. If they can hack banks that invest billions in security, they can certainly take individuals down too.
Providing there is enough motivation to do so.

Some old low quality meme

As a player who has put in 1000+ hours into the game I can definitely say that the combat system and the game's replay value are it's weaker points...
I swear gacha game players are something else
summer cedar
<@595262016059605022> <@306436151701667852> house update
That's pretty ๐ . I am jealous.
Where are the anti-aircraft turrets though?
Also, the anti-invader missile launchers.

Retractable maybe

that's a daring meme to post in an unreal engine discord
queen isle
are we not allowed to critize Unreal engine games here?
summer cedar
I find the disclaimer at the bottom inappropriate.
There are PLENTY of shit indie games. ๐
The rest of the meme should be pinned.
dusky shuttle
The rollercoaster tycoon guy is pretty great, he made the game then disappeared off the earth, he didn't create social media presence to brag about his achievement
summer cedar
disappeared intentionally, or just died?
dusky shuttle
He didn't die, just disappeared like a legend
Someone interviewed him later and he still liked rollercoaster like a kid
summer cedar
Ah, he left the industry because of royalty disputes with Atari.
He just wanted a break thereafter.
dusky shuttle
But there's no big and proper interview
summer cedar
So, he's just living on the royalties from Atari now.
Good stuff.
He also gave Atari the Transport Tycoon IP now.
๐ธ
Gotta smack Update three times to get MS Store to update the XBox app.
dusky shuttle
People actually use the MS store?
summer cedar
Well, you have to. Most of the standard apps are installed through there.
It auto-updates all of them and you never notice, but with SOME apps, you have to do it manually.
Like.... XBOX.
mild gust
I blame ubisoft
summer cedar
They have a separate set of problems.
mild gust
Did I show you my ice?
summer cedar
They screwed up their old to new app update so badly, the app just keeps triggering UAC.
No. What plutonium-ised ice did you make?
summer cedar
I like the story telling. I wanted to shout at the mum myself.
Good animation. Jury is still out on the gameplay.
mild gust
Saw your upload was gunna check it out
summer cedar
The ice looks fine, but I can't really appreciate the snow.
mild gust
Yeah snow is bad
white oxide
honestly I like some of the love that went into older games
white oxide
my first real non pre-installed pc games was basically as indie as you got from professional devs in 2003
Space empires Star fury
mild gust
Tbh even today I still find indies produce better content
white oxide
basically they built the 3D combat engine for SE5 and strategy first said it wasnt good enough, but instead of wasting the time, and effort on it, they let the 6 guys who made it turn it into a sim game
mild gust
Less politics involved in development
celest musk
bullshit imho
white oxide
some indie games are solid
celest musk
there's so many AAA games with awesome cinematic story telling, that's just out of league for indies
mild gust
Valheim did very good for an indie
white oxide
but for every palworld/amongus theres 500 zombie shooter asset flips
white oxide
and how many synty asset games are there similar to schedule 1?
white oxide
also theres SEVERAL solid and good games, but their playerbase is so niche they dont get a lot of traction
like Rusted Warfare
mild gust
Banana game was indie and has zero gameplay
But yet is still one of the top played on steam
white oxide
you cant say all indie is shit, or all AAA is shit
mild gust
R.E.P.O. is indie
white oxide
its very much case by case
though theres some AAA developers/publishers who have had a recent record of releasing shit
white oxide
but AAA game studios very rarely just pop up out of nowhere
they got popular somehow
white oxide
or they are the survivors of a AAA studio that self destructed
mild gust
Even if it's using some assets to further the start-up
Like cho-cho charles
or Runescape dragon wilds
white oxide
like how deep silver and fishlabs built what even today is arguably the best space flight sim game on mobile
mild gust
Even oblivion remastered used some ue plugins
white oxide
then murdered themselves with its sequel being 100% online and MMO
white oxide
and the survivors of that made Rockfish games and released both everspace games
but yeah
white oxide
what grabs people attention seems to vary and your more likely to become game of the month/quarter than you are to be a sustained success at the top of the charts
mild gust
Also there's games like lords of the fallen
white oxide
tbh without covid i bet among us would have been vastly less popular
mild gust
That just double down on free updates
To attract to their current player base
and make people happy
white oxide
they hit release perfectly
white oxide
among us came out when everyone was being trapped inside and it was a short quick game loop with 20 minute games that arent stupidly competitive FPS MMO's
but yeah
theres goods and slop in every side of the spectrum and its not something you can really predict
look at homeworld 3
white oxide
probably
we all thought it was gonna be a big and solid hit, but hw3 kinda just fizzled out
mild gust
I recall seeing something about that
white oxide
might have killed the entire homeworld franchise
mild gust
There's an influx of those walking sim camera games
white oxide
im working on a "walking" flight sim
white oxide
no battles, no trade, just a ship, the stars, and DLSS
mild gust
Just sail island to island
white oxide
use space creator pro's space assets
white oxide
lol
white oxide
yeah that one has lots of issues
mild gust
Ah
white oxide
not super pretty either
white oxide
nah just kinda drift
white oxide
kinda just a walking sim in space
mild gust
You could make all sorts of bizarre planets
white oxide
then ill expand into a proper space shooter as i learn more unreal
mild gust
You could make it a rts
mild gust
Each planets sort of a base of operation
mild gust
Nice
white oxide
each player gets one solar system
theres no choke points, no bottlenecks, just a set of planets and asteroids
in a 4X rts
goal is killing the enemy homeworld
white oxide
yeah that
mild gust
At 2:35
mild gust
I was originally going to use voxel plugin for a game w/ planets
white oxide
we have plans for one of our games to use a shot of that for a massive story reveal
mild gust
But this looks like a no brainer
white oxide
space creator pro is solid
100% recomend
sadly my problem is im a project manager and writer
not artist or coder
im learning how to make projects but its fighting my general inability to learn languages thats causing issues
and imagine making an RTS with blueprints
summer cedar
Just take it easy and go slowly.
Most of the problem comes from rushing and impatience.
white oxide
oh i know
mild gust
Wait for 5.6
white oxide
doing the walking space sim
white oxide
then i wanna make a simple space combat game
summer cedar
Heh. I had to wait over 20 years to start sketching digitally.
white oxide
oh i can concept
and i can explain what needs to be done
its the gap from knowing whats needed and what sells to the finished project i have toruble with
summer cedar
Yeah, I mean, we have to wait for the stars to align to fully showcase our abilities and make progress.
Until then, we can only make snail steps.
white oxide
yep
im mainly waiting to move into my new house to really dive in
my current setup is ok for writing, but the airflow sucks and my pc moonlights as a space heater
summer cedar
My comic strip is a jumble of styles, especially the text. It's been a nice learning experience.
LOVE my drawing monitor.
white oxide
also one of my secondary monitors is a 10 year old tv that puts out the same amount of heat as my pc at basic use
its from that period of time when SMART tv was an optional extra feature
summer cedar
That's why you save it for when you need a bonfire.
Never know when you'll have to do 3D in a nuclear winter.
summer cedar
Maybe they bring back rts one
But you CAN make an RTS in Unreal, though, right now.
You might have to contract someone to script the unit AI, but it's doable.
mild gust
Sounds expensive
summer cedar
uh, AI then. ๐
white oxide
honestly the Ai is the one thing giving us trouble
we can make basic Ai but actually strategic ai?
especially on a budget of MAYBE $50 a month
but yeah
i need to really get into this stuff
but cant right now
summer cedar
Just go with straightforward AI - pig-headed - shouting religious war cries.
It'll be better than iRL battles.
white oxide
like im final days on the house
white oxide
as in aside from a deep clean of the living room, the house is done
summer cedar
remember to buy and install an eagle statue.
Consecrate the House of the Eagle with due prayers and sacrifices.
white oxide
lol
white oxide
yeah
summer cedar
tell buyers they can pick their physical copy of the game up from Alcatraz.
white oxide
tbh that would be the best idea
summer cedar
Tourist pass - 1-way.
summer cedar
But don't exit scam
sad noises
mild gust
If you have enough to show or even just give them an idea of what they are getting into people will support.
white oxide
though honestly It might be better to make the game myself than use the admitedly decent coder we have
kickstarters need good visuals
mild gust
People sent 500k to a racist woman for calling a small child the n word.
white oxide
granted solid games are built with geometric shapes first
mild gust
So one can hope they will support game dev.
white oxide
especially a disabled game dev
mild gust
Real
white oxide
who is working off a very very limited fixed income
my bills and food equal about 830 usd a month
mild gust
Need less eggs
white oxide
my disability checks are about 950 usd a month
mild gust
Find yourself some Amish
white oxide
my only duty is to feed them when he is out of town
mild gust
Save money on food
white oxide
of im already kinda at the basics
LOTS of ramen, eggs, potatoes, rice, and home cooked bread
with spinach pizzas
milk and cheese are super cheap
guy down the road has 800 head, and i can ride a horse and know how to herd cows and rope
mild gust
Nice
white oxide
pays me in gallons of milk and blocks of cheese
most of it is electricity and car insurance
car insurance is like $120
electricity is 80-100
then $20 phone bill
$20 internet bill, $120 in gas
~$80 in food a week
mild gust
Foods expensive
white oxide
plus cat food, and other general costs
mild gust
Need more community gardens
white oxide
yep
though honestly i think my dev needs to better get that while the game being geomatric shapes is good for fast builds and edits, it doesnt market well
and when your on revshare, getting a following early is super important
you need it for kickstarter
kickstarters with 20 followers and half being family doesnt work out, ever
mild gust
I learnt today you can do math in the value boxes for numbered variables to change values.
mild gust
kickstarters with 20 followers and half being family doesnt work out, ever
Marketing is key to
white oxide
yeah
mild gust
Need lots of social media presence etc
mild gust
Ye
I regret doing the math now though I froze my editor
Was dividing my brush size on a pcg volume
white oxide
like i can sell a LOT
white oxide
i once sold a $800,000 usd house in my real estate life to a guy who only ever saw pictures
mild gust
I love math
white oxide
all i did was spend 20 minutes flattering the town to him
mild gust
Note to self don't do 1000000/250
mild gust
all i did was spend 20 minutes flattering the town to him
Sometimes all it takes
white oxide
yeah
but i can sell good short videos
half my following was because of a single short video
white oxide
that on twitter got me 100 discord members
we also have a banger OST
you can see how this could help\
with some 1 minute gameplay videos
mild gust
I gotta get me a sound engineer
