And store information that the player does for them

#

E.g. there's a unique vehicle right next to a suspicious house

soft night

NPC what have great AI as well

humble remnant
#

If the player attaches a bomb to it, during the mission it explodes

soft night
#

if player feels like the world can exist without the player its good then right?

humble remnant
#

Ehhhhh

#

Depends

#

Usually you want things to happen in downtime mostly

#

Though also depends on how fun mechanics become

#

If it's Mars, the gravity would be lower and there's more potential for stunt jumps

#

If the driving is nailed, look for events that happen that dare you to drive better/faster/smarter/etc

#

Instead of static location mission

#

Again, it depends on how things go during development

#

Find what's fun and build over it

#

Driving in GTA for example is really fun so people like doing that instead of missions, and missions tend to add new cars to the NPC spawns so that's kinda the only incentive to complete the story

#

GTA 4 did that well where a new sports car would appear in a mission and later on NPCs may spawn with it

#

Except HEY NIKO IT'S YOUR COUSIN ROMAN

#

If there was less NPC interaction, the game would've been greaat

#

But it's' kinda forced socializing with an NPC and like

#

Eh?

#

Otherwise, the game was solid

#

There's enough space between lanes to daredevil drive so there's an incentive to get better

#

The missions became too linear from 4 onwards

#

As in, there's just 1 way a mission goes and it's like following the script of a bastard director

#

The sandbox in GTA 3 onwards was great

#

So much space to drive in

#

Oh, that's another incentive

#

Opening new parts of the map

#

Start laying out the basic mechanics and find out what's fun

#

Build around that

#

The players will like a focused part more than a shoved in part

#

Bowling is cool but why was it added instead of another unique car for example

#

Or just more NPC interaction dialog

It's Deus Ex but with a style

The original Deus Ex had a great style

So if the player leaves the base then he will see aliens, so in the base are the aliens rare I am not sure if this idea is good

I wonder if Quixel will sue me for using their assets to print planets for my students...

People who speak English as a second language generally don't have words like 'anus' in their vocabulary.

I taught them how 'rump' is another word for butt when we were talking about Donald T Rump in class during the election.

I mean, even my laptop's IPS screen burns in 😄

also, the white balance shifts to warmer side as time goes on

because the blue pixels lose brightness

the infinite contrast is so juicy though

I'm waiting for micro-led displays

honestly, my TN panel LG 24" 144hz is holding on pretty well imo, compared to other TN panels

#

TIL.

summer coral
#

yeah i had my birthday at a castle in a town. i remember it being the coolest thing ever. i don't know what castle but they had a story they'd tell during tours where the castle was taken by force (probably the spanish) and the lord of the castle hid in a secret room. to find out where he was the invaders lit a candle in every window, but he was informed by someone in the castle - so he lit a candle also

then they had this little plastic candle and would light it by the window in the secret room infront of the tour group. it was soooo cool

#

i was probably like 8 years old

fluid bloom
#

oh lol, some people already accusing cyberpunk of transphobism and what not 😄

#

and cultural appropriation

#

because you can make a character that looks like a woman but has a penis

#

and because characters can have maori style tattoos on them

#

people like that are cancer 😄

summer coral
#

At first, many trans players were happy with the idea that gender would not be determined by the character's genitals. However, that possible excitement turned to disbelief when gamers realized their character's gender and pronouns are not determined by genitals, but rather by voice. Only deep-voiced characters can be identified as male, while higher-pitched characters are identified as female, which purports the harmful idea that people's genders can be identified by certain traits.

In a truly trans-friendly game, gender would be determined by the player's independent choice, separate from any other qualities.
https://www.cbr.com/cyberpunk-2077-transphobia/

Seems nitpicky but I kind of get it.

fluid bloom
#

really, really nitpicky

#

like, who gives a shit

summer coral
#

How hard would it be to let players pick the voice of their character separately from their gender?

fringe sundial
#

its literally not possible to ever do good for those

fluid bloom
#

@summer coral just because you choose to be someone doesn't mean the NPCs in the game are aware of your decision 😛

fringe sundial
#

they will allways take some small dumb shit to get offended

fluid bloom
#

so they just use the most apparent cue

#

voice and looks

#

which kinda makes sense because IRL people do that too

#

but I suppose just giving an option would be fine too

summer coral
#

@fluid bloom I guess so. Saints Row 3 let you choose independently iirc

#

Imo there shouldn't be a voice description. It should just be the name of the voice actor 🙂

#

Like Nolan North

So many people shitting on CP2077. Backseat game devs.

But I hear a lot about bugs

frosty halo
#

I played from midnight to 4:30 and then from around 12 to 3 today.

gilded vigil
#

i dont own it myself, but i heard its extremely buggy

foggy path
# fluid bloom

I thought that hooded figure on the left was the Sergenat at Arms from Harvester lol

gilded vigil
#

and saw a bunch of videos showing said bugs

foggy path
frosty halo
#

I have personally seen the following bugs:

  • Jackie held two chopsticks. It turned into four chopsticks for three lines of dialog. It went back to normal.
  • trauma team dislocated shoulders when aiming for a brief few seconds.
  • the very first scene playing as a street kid had a lady who’s leg implants didn’t load so she sat there legless at the bar.

Literally all the bugs I encountered.

#

Other than the fact that RTSS won’t allow you to boot the game if it’s full screen and you’re using RTSS overlay.

#

That’s about it.

normal prism
#

How's the world?

#

CDPR worthy?

foggy path
#

most serious bug I saw in cyberpunk was a mission progression was stuck but it fixed itself with a save/load

normal prism
#

(without spoilers :D)

foggy path
#

so I'd say it's fairly smooth sailing so far

frosty halo
#

Frank and brutally honest answer - because of the amount of verticality, and considering I’m still in the tutorial section / intro. It’s massive. There’s tons of POI’s and tons to explore.

thin storm
#

that chopstick bug is also with cigarettes. its one bug thats everywhere. but its hard to pull of that skeletal to static mesh animation.

gilded vigil
#

also i heard consoles are having issues running that game, constant stutters and low fps

normal prism
#

Sounds interesting

frosty halo
#

My two gripes are this:

  • the default car handles worse than any game I’ve seen. Too responsive to turning and too unresponsive to everything else at speed.

  • some npcs seem a bit like they just stand there aimlessly. But that’s a small portion. Most npcs I’ve seen have convos, go about their lives, and stuff like that. It’s not WDL levels of npc life immersion, but it’s not garbage. It’s okay. You’re not there to live vicariously through the npcs anyway.

foggy path
#

Yeah it's believable enough at least for me

#

It feels like a city with people in it

frosty halo
#

You see I had 0 expectations. So everything I got is a win for me. For the vitriolic crowd in reddit it’s different. They’re all crying bloody murder cause each npc doesn’t have a detailed day to day life sim with a back story and a personal director AI. OR that the performance is unacceptable to some people. Which is bullshit.

foggy path
#

I had expectations and so far it's meeting them lol

frosty halo
#

Take my rig for example - 2070s and ryzen 2600x. I turned DLSS on, set shadow cascade quality to medium and everything else on ultra but Raytracing disabled. I’m playing at 70~ FPS at 4k native.

#

Picture is crisp as fuck

#

Oh yeah disable DOF, chromatic abby, motion blur. Cause they make everything look off.

foggy path
#

interesting

frosty halo
#

And cascade shadows med > high cuts your frames in half.

thin storm
#

yes, in unreal you would play an animation on the character mesh and then you attach a static mesh to a socket on the skeleton of the char by code. so the chopsticks/cigs follows the animation of the char. the trickery is to have a good timing so its looks good. @normal prism and in cyberpunk that timing is messed up because the static meshes disappear after a while

foggy path
#

1440p with my 1080ti I don't think it runs at 70fps at ultra'ish

frosty halo
#

It’s been tested and proven.

#

I mean I have dips to 55

#

It depends.

normal prism
frosty halo
#

I didn’t sit there doing graphs. I may actually be averaging 60. But I’ve seen stable 70 in areas I checked.

normal prism
#

That's totally acceptable for a 2070 I'd say

#

Esp at 4K

frosty halo
#

More than considering 4k

normal prism
#

Sure, DLSS helps, but still

normal prism
frosty halo
#

DLSS in fact doesn’t impair image quality at all

normal prism
#

No, but I've heard arguments against DLSS

#

(I disagree)

frosty halo
#

I tested with and without and couldn’t tell apart from one single area where textures on a grate blurred for 1 second and then went back to being amazing

abstract haven
thin storm
#

but for me the performance is very good on high to ultra setting. really cool but only without RT.

frosty halo
#

So you know. DLSS is not optional here

normal prism
#

Yeah

#

Though one could argue that's part of the problem

#

(Again I disagree, but still)

thin storm
#

I made a lot of screeshots with RT on and off and I dont know, its looks great without RT anyway so its kinda pointless when you take the performance loss into account.

Oh right, so you mean when you're actually editing the engine?

For projects it never takes that long

I haven't found it so painful

But I can imagine rebuilding the whole engine multiple times a day would quickly become disastrous indeed

With this Cyberpunk coverage we're all working on, one thing is becoming clear - there is a VAST difference between the high-end PC experience and everything else. This sort of split was common during the PS360 era but less so now. It's akin to Battlefield 3 PC vs console.

Curious on opinions here. Scrolling through a hot bar with the mouse wheel should rolling the top of the wheel towards you move left or right on the hotbar?

right

#

Of course you can add the option to switch it. But it's generally from the right handed view. Where up = left and down = right. Flip it for the Ned Flanders of the world.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I had it reversed by default when I set it up. Down moved to a lower index in the map which made sense but felt wrong.

you can talk about the exteel project here

noble quest
#

I've not heard of exteel until now so I looked it up

lyric tusk
#

Exteel is a wet dream of every mech lover

noble quest
#

It kinda reminds me of a more grounded armored core

lyric tusk
#

It's hyper action relentless fun

midnight oak
#

thats what i was thinking

#

it actually deserves a ground up successor

#

i always wanted to find a game like this

lyric tusk
#

Are links accepted here?

midnight oak
#

ive tried many mech games, hated most

#

idk i only post educational links

noble quest
#

@midnight oak Honestly same. Only Fromsoftware seems to do the genre justice

lyric tusk
#

I don't wanna disrespect the mods

noble quest
#

There are a few others but they are rare

lyric tusk
#

Our exteel version isn't finished yet but we've managed to bring its action back on track

noble quest
#

@lyric tusk You can DM it to me

lyric tusk
#

With almost all weapons and all sets available

#

Okay sure

midnight oak
#

is it on a dedicated server?

lyric tusk
#

Well

#

We used a few free servers for open beta

#

But we will hold a solid one for the official release

noble quest
#

It's a shame you can't use the Steam servers or something

#

That would be perfect for something like this

lyric tusk
#

We kind of want to keep low profile just in case

#

So steam is kind of a no go for now

midnight oak
#

Is the framework for the dedicated server built rn?

#

Is it ready to implement?

lyric tusk
#

My lead dev is working on that actually

#

Good catch!

midnight oak
#

Ok cool

lyric tusk
#

I am trying to get as many coders and programmers to work on the project so it gets progress

midnight oak
#

Have it ready because all that costs is time and saves time

lyric tusk
#

There has been several projects to revive exteel, but none have succeeded and none have come even 30% of how far we've reached

noble quest
#

I'm afraid my skill is more on the sound/level design aspect of development so I can't really help there 😛

worldly sapphire
#

Wow, Exteel. I just googled it and I kind of recognize it from some random fever dream

midnight oak
#

Id work well with you

lyric tusk
#

I've been relentlessy recruiting devs to work on the game by free will

midnight oak
#

Sound design is one passion off mine

#

Im a generalist bi do all things

lyric tusk
#

I've never been the bright mind but I am a good manager

#

midnight oak
#

Im mainly an artist. I work with houdini fx and blender alot

#

Houdini was tough to learn

lyric tusk
#

That's pretty nice! I have actually created channels especially for artists

#

So they can promote and showcase their work to grow better

noble quest
#

That's really cool

lyric tusk
#

And I am thinking of expanding that even further

midnight oak
#

Ue4 is the only engine i ever plan to know or use im always in ue4

lyric tusk
#

Yeah

#

Games for their minimum nowadays are modern engines

#

But damn

#

Some old games really have a whole lot of us left back there with them

#

Some games from the 2000s, I can never ever get over

midnight oak
#

Some devs have alot to contribute asset wise. Like me. Thats what you need

#

To collaborate with serious devs that have libraries of stuff to deploy

lyric tusk
#

I wonder though if Unreal Engine devs released a source code for ue2.5, we'd be able to import models?

noble quest
#

I love games of all kinds. I'd like to become skilled in all areas of game development. But for now sound is enough for me.

midnight oak
#

@noble quest i feel that

noble quest
#

@lyric tusk Some companies will use UE but pack everything in a proprietary format, the source code may not help if thats the case.

midnight oak
#

Right

#

And then think about this

#

What happens when the platforms sdk wont accept your build

#

But then again

#

How do classic games come out? Oh they arent online

lyric tusk
#

Ahhhhhh

#

So basically some packages are sealed

midnight oak
#

I loved warhawk but now it can only be played in fan communities online

lyric tusk
#

But what would happen if you unpack a base file of the game and learn exactly which goes where

#

And then based on that create the same files for the custom mechs?

midnight oak
#

Takes alot of bullshit to set that up and no financial gain

#

I know you can extract content and prepare it for use in a new game. Sometimes. If you can extract the files cleanly

lyric tusk
#

Like my plan would be pretty much only replace the parts since exteel is made of head/core/arms/legs/booster

noble quest
#

The command and conquer community managed to get online working for the Generals games by completely bypassing the games netcode and adding their own, and their project is one of the most advanced for a game that old. @lyric tusk

#

You might see if they can help you.

midnight oak
#

Thats a good idea

lyric tusk
#

Holy crap

#

That's an excellent idea

Command and conquer fans are hardcore

My point of view on all of this is:
Back in the days as you named the people wasn't allowed to have tattoos, wasn't allowed to that adult things
The good point this days is you can see where and who set the limits

If someone didn't allowed back in the days to eat cake each day were for a good reason, wasn't crazy at all and it worked for 2000 years, lets see for how many years it works now
now there is people that does that each day, each time gets more bored doing it each day, as who eats cake and at some point gets bored of it, at some point try to find more and more extreme things

I had a conversation recently and was like...
the person each time her had a problem in the life made a tattoo, from some familiar dead or alike, then the draw is made by an external person...
so usually the people with tattoos to me have external events with external draws, means this nothing in their body is theirs ? is a walking ad from others lifes?

#

and wasn't only once, each single person I found tell me the same

normal prism

I don't quite understand that perspective. I bet it was just a way for her to eternalise an important moment or person in her life.

#

There's poetic beauty in that

most straight men are simple in some ways. Testosterone based expression of manhood (or toxic masculinity if you want to call it that). Women seem to have way more variance for self-expression. Don't mean this in a stereotypical way as a bad thing.

yeah I had a friend who smoked for decades, he quit smoking and moved to a weed vape. He had a psychotic episode because it was too strong and he quit completely.

Yikes :\

I told him "I never had that problem as I was psychotic before I started smoking" 😄

median wraith
#

I never smoked but each morning I cough hard for no real reason

#

The medic always says YES to all so

#

I lost my arm

Don't worry there is a 5% of population without arm, its normal

🤖

#

the medics are like that here

#

I didn't lost my arm, were an example

Does anyone have any experience running a game jam and would like to talk about with me?

It's well known that there is a very devoted section of the overclocking community that prefers to concentrate their efforts on squeezing as much performance as possible out of older technology than new. There are, of course, two pretty good reasons as to why they choose this particular avenue. Firstly, it's the rather fundamental aspect of just...

#

@primal spoke I think my life is a goddamn game jam tbh. 😄

#

I will do a gamejam one day. But I didn't think during burnout would be the best time. But if I was gonna do one, it would be the EGJ.

primal spoke

I'm gonna try to host one

ahh the guy from colors!

I didn't know he made other movies lol!

Everytime I think of that movie I hear Ice-T saying "Colors..."

Colors...Colors....Colors 🔴 🔵

fathom wadi
#

who did it better? Colors or End of Watch?

primal spoke
#

man....thats a hard one man

#

I remember so many scenes from colors and that was so long ago since I saw it

#

the scene when the low rider song was playing

fathom wadi
#

Im a New Jack City guy myself. Love seeing Nino get owned at the end 😄

#

The way Ice-T looks, puts on his shades and walks off like its just another day is epic.

primal spoke
#

I was trying to watch that the other day and couldn't find it free

#

well not really free because I pay for , Amazon Prime, Netflix, and HBO Max, but yeah.

fathom wadi
#

yeah me too 😄

#

not HBO max tho. Don't need that

#

Although next year I might

primal spoke
#

I get HBO Max with my wireless plan for free, lol

fathom wadi
#

cool

primal spoke
#

prime because of the shipping,

#

so netflix is the only real paid standalone.

fathom wadi
#

I have my fibre internet with a satellite tv provider and they don't give me free tv with it. Now I'm miffed 😄

primal spoke
#

bless you so much for having fiber, at someone around here has fast internet.

#

Att monopolized my neighborhood

#

only give me max 50Mbs now, was 25 max just 3 months ago.

fathom wadi
#

I only got it this year after 8 years of trying to convince my wife it was worth the extra money. When she first saw the download speeds she said "WTF why have we not got this before?" and I just stared at her like "oh my love...."

cursive crypt
#

What you are downloading so much to need that? 😄

fathom wadi
#

Unreal Engines 😄

cursive crypt
#

In fact, what speed we are talking about? I'm kinda 50Mbps and more or less happy (its the optimal fee too).

fathom wadi
#

we have 7 people in our house so 80mb down / 20mb up is required.

cursive crypt
#

Ah, okay, that's not so big difference, lol.

fathom wadi
#

think I was upto 15 devices last I checked the router

primal spoke
#

my workstation is hard wired to the router, so I have first dibs on bandwidth 😁

cursive crypt
#

80 for so many ppl is okay, I was thinking that we talk about much more. Some dudes post around like x10 faster speeds.

fathom wadi
#

@primal spoke mine too. Im the only wired person in the house too so if they piss me off, Im right to 127.0.0.x and suddenly the wireless is playing up :p

I have a colleague who does the following when he want's to gather the family for something - he unplugs the router and everyone gathers after a minute.

fathom wadi

lol true

I can get them their quicker by shouting "FFS GODDAMN INTERNETS DOWN" and they congregate until it's done.

fathom wadi
#

to be fair though this connection has been solid. Sky really good a good service

#

oh god I types some error there because I wasn't looking and talking to the kids 😄

#

my brain likes to hiccup when im not concentrating 😄

#

I do, however, feel it sounded a bit like Trump and now I must go brush my teeth.

median wraith
#

oh

fathom wadi
#

poor algorithm. Not gonna know what hit it 😄

zinc matrix
#

if a game does not change size of the game, using a horizontal 90cm 16:9 monitor will give you more screen than a horizontal 90cm 21:9 monitor.
everything stays same size. 16:9 masterrace

fathom wadi
#

That being said, it's a bit convenient that they went for that same topic

#

@zinc matrix you can't say master race anymore. It's not PC. You have to say "Privilege position in the computer console and home entertainment class system"

median wraith
#

who manages that account ?

fathom wadi
#

a paedo?

median wraith
#

games change in size based on the horizon

#

*usually

zinc matrix
#

what oyu mean

#

show image

#

in this case 16:9 is superior

median wraith
#

95cm

#

IS THAT A NUCLEAR SUBMARINE?!

fathom wadi
#

I solve all that by not having a horizon and making top down ARPGs 😄

zinc matrix
#

@median wraith show me what u mean now bro

median wraith
#

I'm confused now

#

yeah 21:9 is more with so you see a less vertical range

#

thats correct

zinc matrix
#

@median wraith nah im asking why games do not let the game size be the same

#

and just increase ingame camera dimensions

#

like on my image

fathom wadi
#

presumably that's what happens. The camera aspect ratio will change accordingly.

median wraith
#

because you have to choose between vertical or horizontal

median wraith
#

if I give you more visual in the horizontal range then you have more vision

#

so in multiplayer games you get advantage

zinc matrix
#

what iy raymarching nochmal

median wraith
#

if I calibrate that in the vertical, then you don't get too much visual that give you advantage

#

as vertical things usually means a shit

#

if the horizontal is small than the vertical then should be calibrated in vertical

#

at least I do with menus

zinc matrix
#

i need examples

#

visually

#

i do not get yo uat all

#

@median wraith

#

i cant find any 16:9 vs 21:9 comparisons with same horizontal length

median wraith
#

the horizontal is static

#

let me search

#

overwatch is properly made

#

fortnite is not

#

Fortnite visually is correct

#

but give advantage

#

that's why should be as overwatch end

zinc matrix
#

@median wraith yes so why isnt hor. +ver. static

median wraith
#

isn't the other way because the monitors usually just change in horizontal

#

and because the horizontal view gives more advantage than vertical ones

#

and because need one side that dynamic changes in size so the image don't looks deformed

#

the hell

humble remnant
#

Aspect ratio in competitive games is a big monkaS

#

There's just no right answer

#

One option would be black bars to make it fit into 16:9

#

But that just looks jarring

cursive crypt
#

nah, it should be some place for running ads on the side.

humble remnant
#

Yeah, because that was the aspect ratio when the game first got released
