Look, you don't understand.
We are human beings.

We are on a journey to discover our selves.

That takes time and effort.

Without it, your folder would be locked and hidden, and you will never find your inner virus.

daft punk thing in fortnite was cool, but it bugged out and didn't load part of the intro (the desert part) and now I can never see it!? booooooo

celest musk
#

remember me when the jam starts

#

they should actually make that thing the theme 😄

#

imagine 50 games around it

#

is that allowed? 🤔

#

i mean, we could probably start "ahead" and mesh/rig it

#

gonna take a few days to mesh it tho

#

very complicated mesh

errant raven
#

Id solo myself

#

I look dumb and weak, easy victim of a hit and run

celest musk
#

i feel like we got better chances as team 🤷 most good solo's will opt for army of one

white oxide
#

i could at least write the lore

#

10 mostly unfinished games or 1 master game

celest musk
#

actually it sounds hilarious...

#

and the guy who gave the inspiration with his blob will be like:

celest musk
#

10 games, i only got 2 sales

white oxide
#

i volunteer for the lore, if yall want 8 pages of detailed weird lore related to something

celest musk
#

we should make one game stop where the other starts

#

giving a seamless experience over 10 submissions

white oxide
#

HAHA

#

that would be complicated and require signifigant timeline adherence

#

given im already working on a 2 million word book franchise, could probably take a week and write up a timeline

celest musk
#

maybe some kind of portal which shows a cube map when looking into it. so everyone just captures the cubemap before submitting

white oxide
#

i cant code for shit but im a decent writer

#

why im writing the books before reaching back into game dev

#

helps with fee and contracts to already have a body of lore and data

#

Well, Pakistan's final performance has been horrendous.

#

3 overs left and they are already down 9 wickets.

#

141-9. 1 ball, 2 overs to go in their innings.

#

They started off SO VERY WELL, too.

I live in matrix

There is people on the TV doing cosplay of game characters calling NPCs to people that don't do cosplay

Aren't you the NPC copy pasting NPCs?

summer cedar
#

Yeah. Society is headed that way.

#

The pendulum is swinging towards aberration.

#

Just retire quickly to a deserted island.

#

Well, India is going to win the Asia T-20 Cup.

#

Pakistan collapsed completely. Poor match. 🙁

#

I was hoping for strong performances from both sides. 🙁

median wraith
#

wtf

summer cedar
#

Yeah. The first two Pakistani batsmen had a wonderful partnership.

#

They batted very well.

#

Thereafter, God only knows why, everyone else collapsed like a house of cards.

#

And, I have no idea why the other Pakistani batters were trying to SLICE the ball instead of HITTING it.

#

@median wraith Btw, I think the T-20 format is using some kind of AI model video builder to predict LBW wickets.

#

Like, to predict the angle, height, and movement of the ball towards the wicket (like a goal).

#

🤔 According to a source, the AI model predicts LBW with 76% accuracy.

#

Lol. Abhishek Sharma is hilarious.

#

Danced right down the wicket three times towards the bowler. Nutter. But, an amazing batter regardless.

#

But then again, they can afford to take risks. They just need an average of 7 runs an over.

#

And Abhishek is out.

#

Nutter.

#

Yay, dumb Indian batters threw two wickets away! 👏

#

Amazing. Callous and unnecessary batting.

This is the problem with Indians.
Unnecessary overconfidence.

They do well in one leg of a project and immediately start feeling god-like.

The batting is uncharacteristically shitty.

Not spotty enough.

Dropped a catch. Chose the wrong bowler.

"Project Requirements
The game must include custom gameplay that exceeds the gameplay found in Epic Games’ starter templates.
All art assets in the game must have a material other than "DefaultMaterial" applied to it. "

That last part I find it as a artistic limitation

what happen with the people that want a minimalistic game?

mild gust
#

I'm sure it's fine as long as it's unique.

summer cedar

🤣 India needs 10 runs off 6 balls.

#

At least they have 5 wickets remaining.

Sweet Lord, the drama! Only India can do this. 😒

You'll probably need a special pass with the appropriate number of social credits, to access the coffee.

You must test your code first.

mild gust

Lol

summer cedar

He can only drive 2,000 KM.

That's okay

It's a feature not a bug

Down to 2 errors from ?

mild gust

Went down to 11

summer cedar

When you say went down, did it correct them by itself?

No

I did some things

manual correction? Or just prompting corrections?

a small button to enable motion blur, because you are a good dev and turn it off by default

mild gust
#

Wait motion blur is based I thought

summer cedar
#

320x240px resolution, black and white two-material no texture shading, negative resolution render scaling, forced frame rate limiter for 12-18-20 fps, and super view culling - up to 1 foot in front of player.

unborn lotus

motion blur is disgusting and no player will ever be able to enable it

mild gust
#

Why

#

Motion blur happens irl

#

Why wouldn't we use it in game

unborn lotus
#

well blinking also happens irl. why not use it in games

mild gust
#

Agreed

unborn lotus
#

i dont think it's needed in topdown games

summer cedar

also farting

It can make for some scary games

you have a comment from an ex dev in youtube:

#

"Former Epic dev here - for some reason my comment is gone?

Unreal as 2 main issues : The way the engine is presented and marketed + the documentation.

  1. The engine is marketed as handling a lot of things for the user, the truth is, the engine is bloated. Thee is more than 2.5gb of crap loaded on init that shouldn't be on by default. It is there so any kind of project seem directly to be working - basically making it easy on novice user. World partition is set up wrong, default tick, etc.. but also the templates are HORRIBLE. Look for example at the first person template > there are 2 ticking skeletal mesh (one being empty) just to account for wrong root. It's like patching a bad practice with a second bad practice. The templates were complained about internally a LOT , but we were told it will be fixed. (it has been like that for years). This is just an example.

  2. the docs are mainly wrong or outdated and usually work only in silo. The reason is that the people behind the tech do not have the time to write the doc. That doc is then spread as being the "truth" by YT videos, tutorials etc... and the doc/evangelist team unfortunately rarely work on actual project that is not a smaller in scale. They are not involved in the internal production, they don't work on Fortnite or Matrix demo etc... so they create their own example, with their understanding of the tech, usually really small in scale compared to a full game and focusing on 1 or 2 issues, and usually miss the mark. So while it works with that tiny single example, it is actually pretty bad practice in a real game. And while there is communication of sort between engineer and the doc team, it is minimal. Then these get again spread around via YT "expert"... spreading both bad practice and misleading information."

#

"NO you can't just create a master material and make all your other material instance with dynamic switches, NO you should not have world partition use hard ref, NO you should not have everything in the level blueprint, NO nanite doesn't "just work", NO raising lumen denoising sample isn't the best way to get rid of leaks...etc....

This makes UE look like an "easy to use" engine, while it is not. Optimization starts from day one >> strip the editor from all garbage that is enabled by default."

pearl elk

Because nobody told them. They get all these benchmarks that look crazy, they believe the hype, but in reality we have tech in the engine that is years ahead of it's time in terms of it's performance requirements. It's like when Crysis released and became the meme "But can it run Crysis?" because they applied techniques that would last rather than be a one generation filler.

Crysis also never destroyed any gpus

Crysis was limited to the amount of cores it used, cant believe it stayed a CPU benchmark for so long

fathom wadi
#

Not been a fan of 30fps ever really. It always looked janky to me after playing 60fps fighting games. The wife went a decade not minding about 30fps on console until I got her a copy of Cyberpunk 2077 on her Xbox Series X. She said she couldn't tell the difference. Then it all changed when I had her switch between modes. Now we have an AI television that upscales to 60fps so everything looks smoother

#

call me crazy but if your low tier cant outperform last gen mid tier then it doesnt need to exist, just direct buyers to the second hand market but that doesnt make Nvidia, or AMD money

fathom wadi
#

Nvidia kinda know that now and have stopped production on the lower cards because nobody wants them

pearl elk
#

theyre just pumping out ewaste imo

mild gust
fathom wadi
#

I find it amusing that a 1080ti, albeit with less graphic features like raytracing and DLSS, can outperform a 5090 because I can't run it max settings anyway. I setting for mid-high in 1440p and I'm fine hitting 60fps

pearl elk
#

if Nvidia wanted to they could build a pass through AI upscaler but that doesnt get people buying their new GPUs

#

hell they put gsync hardware in the monitors why not just put the upscaler there

fathom wadi
#

wouldn't it have latency issues with the bus, or would you presume it factors that in?

pearl elk
#

theres certain features which would only work in that SoC format forsure

pearl elk
#

but you can guarantee Nvidia want you to buy a 5080/90 rather than keep your 2080ti and buy a cheap upscaler addon

ive been waiting for that game for like 3 years now. tho i thought itd be gacha, which idk if i like that its not. on other hand, gachas are designed to suck your money, on the other, i love gambling (and i also dont spend much if any real money in games)

fathom wadi
#

Funny I love gambling too (even made a professional slot system in UE) but I can't throw money at games that are designed to grab that cash. I do buy MTX once a year or so for Path of Exile as a way to support the development of the game, but they have a fair system for that

stray fractal
#

nice. also speaking of gambling, im thinking would it be profitable to create an actual 3d virtual online casino? basically exactly the same as normal online casinos but 3d. and an optional shared lobby with other gamblers.

celest musk
#

possible, sure. But do you really wanna deal with country restrictions etc.

fathom wadi
#

That was my intention. I wanted a framework to design slots first though and never went full casino. It was so much work I thought just sell the thing, never did though. It needs updating

stray fractal
#

oh okay

celest musk
#

some countries straight up ban any game that contains gambling, even if it's just the act of gambling

#

e.g. GTA had to remove things from their casino as far as i'm aware

pearl elk
#

just dont put the gambling in your game official, just let third parties run lottery sites

fathom wadi
#

Its probably also better to create a PixieJS based system with webGL (or whatever 3d web thingy they use these days) and you could have it implement real licensed slots too. You could license that to casinos and offer VR etc.

stray fractal
#

true. tho doesnt unreal support web too? or was that unity.

fathom wadi
#

yeah unreal hasn't supported the web since like 4.4 or something when they removed all the HTML support

stray fractal
#

ah okay

pearl elk
#

I think its still around but its unofficially supported now

fathom wadi
#

its not even supported with the community support

#

you have to go back to the old versions to make it work

stray fractal
#

oh okay. ill need to look into it. ive got no plans for it rn but ive always wanted a casino like that

fathom wadi
#

me too. If I had a budget I'd do it, but it's a mammoth task for a solo dev

#

making it an actual legit casino has more caveats than is worth dealing with too. Licensed gambling is brutal on restrictions

stray fractal
#

true. but if you can get a really good vertical slice you might get funding

stray fractal
fathom wadi
#

Yeah Curacao is one. It's the wild west of licensed gambling. You can get away with theft there. Malta has the most global licensing available (but it's also location based as each country tends to have it's own gambling commission). So you can't do a one-size-fits-all approach. It has to be modular in design to accomodate

stray fractal
#

yeah

pearl elk
#

Malta, that sounds like some mafia stuff

fathom wadi
#

I've seen "official" slots on Curacao sites that almost look like the real slot, but an eagle eyed slot afficionado like me can tell. They can literally make a slot that has no real RTP and just pays out what they can afford.

pearl elk
#

yeah that seems to be the default setting but they dont do anything with that tick

#

I think you need the actor tick for components to tick

celest musk

it did check if it was implemented, the ghost node didn't count as implemented

#

not sure if they now check if there's a connection 🤷

#

sounds like it still doesn't detect it 🤔

#

i think it's hard to blame it on them with such a complex engine

but there's a command to dump a list of all ticking things
