@zinc matrix please read the #more-resources and #old-rules before randomly posting somewhere.
#looking-for-talent is where you need to be if you want to find fellow devs that can help out with your gamejam game, but I'd highly suggest other platforms like reddit or gamejam related boards.

I'm having a good fun with the games made using UE4 today, play testing now the Predator game, cannot complete the tutorial because when press attack does nothing, plus 30FPS on med settings and no settings options than global ones on a 970GTX... Just came from COD etc and I had 80FPS or so

winter zealot
ah yeah altrough i'm reading what you wrote about predator Hevedy
damn it really has issues
thin storm
the controls in predator feel weird. like you control a gamepad stick with your mouse. really awkward.
winter zealot
looks like they needed more time before shipping 😦
thin storm
its a demo, they ship next month.
winter zealot
i guess they can fix some bugs like that tho
mild root
like you control a gamepad stick with your mouse. really awkward
did they learn how to make games by youtube tutorials?
and just assigned mouse input to the same axis input as analog stick
with the same logic
winter zealot
they wanted to add some fancy thing to the controls probably
mild root
because that says a lot
no, it is not about fancy stuff
it is either half assing inputs or incompetence
winter zealot
not possible to tell anything unless we've played it tho

if inertia or momentum is added in the function moving the camera, that's something else

mouse input - no

winter zealot
i don't know... looks pretty easy to me but okay

if devs put smoothing on mouse input, it means they didn't ever play any videogame with aiming

The typical red barrels are in there, but they colored in red boxes of objective at the first you think these explode, at second instande turns out you have to shoot them to open and pick the objetive
The performance - quality ratio is out

when I was growing up we were so poor, we didn't have a carpet. We would eat stew as a way to keep hunger away. Often with a pie crust on top of it to help because it was cheap

yeah things were cheaper too back when I was a kid. You didn't pay global warming and Brexit prices 😄
potatoes prices went way up during my time living in a fish and chip shop. The weather changes in the UK meant seasonal potato crops were shifting around with shorter times for the good potatoes, so they charged extra for King Edwards and Maris Piper potatoes.

It's an insanely good deal for any developer. I think it's more exciting than mega grants too. With something like this when the unexpected comes up you can open a dialog and probably get help with money, or a connection to someone, or whatever to solve it.

You have to deal with the console company first then you can get what you need to package it.
primal spoke
aww man, you made it sound so nonchalant.
like, I'm gonna make a platformer on xbox
Like its as easy as making an android app. lol
plucky pagoda
I think it's easy because it use to be impossible. You still have to deal with gatekepping. But Microsoft has really stepped it up when dealing with indies. You can email them about it on one of the pages and they'll get in touch and talk it over with you.
primal spoke
ok. If I told I my kids I was making a game on PS4, I would get some massive Dad points!
They have no respect for PC game devs.
plucky pagoda
I like PS4 more but it's much easier to get in with Xbox first.
primal spoke
PS4 and Switch.
plucky pagoda
The UWP thing would be the easiest. You just download the app to your console. They've expanded what you have access to a lot too.
primal spoke
I don't own an Xbox one. I have a 360 though.

If you want to have fun and test something on it right away you could have it setup in an hour or so probably.

It depends if you are compiling the plugins. If not, a HDD loading time wont be much more. But if you are compiling them, I can only suggest SSD

Walmart is going to fire half their workers though. They are going to get rid of all the people making $15 an hour and getting full time benefits and health insurance.

There might be a snow lion, that part of the game is still in the 'optional if I have the time' category.

Being in a place like Finland is strange compared to the States' traffic.

Other than that though, roads and the like are incredibly similar.
