I'm rebuilding my unity project in UE since it took a turn UE would be a better fit for
That game above looks pretty good
median wraith
what kind of project is ?
lone grail
It started out being a top down adventure but I started writing a story for it that I felt would be better to just focus on so it's a third person stealth horror game
Horror used loosely for now but definitely want it to feel eerie at least
lone grail
the original project was picking up objects and throwing them at enemies instead of having weapons, even had durability on every object, it was fun, but I couldn't let this story go and the gameplay didn't suit it

Soo finished CyberPunk 2077. What a shitty ending, totally underwhelming is every aspect.
broken sigil
there are like 5 or 6 endings
mossy nexus
Yeah, but the path there is the same. The actual end sequence was... just plain shit, boring. Confusing too as the dialogue options seemed to be bugged to hell, sayings things that didn't happen etc.

Aren't the confusing bad endings the ones that make a good film?
How much time did you spend then?

if you rush though the story without any side quests you will only be able to get bad endings

I've done shit loads of the side lines and gigs. After a while they blur into the same cookie cutter experience. Luckily I didn't encounter too many bugs along the way, but the ending was just a let down. None of it made sense to what Johnny and I had talked about during the game.

I actually really enjoy the side quests, the only game so far I had fun doing them in
mossy nexus
For my ending I chose than V would go with Alt. That was the dialogue that I picked. Somehow the game decided that I chose for Johnny to do that. Plus all the dialogue during that segment was weird as no matter who was talking to who it said it was johnny, and as I said mentioning things that just plain didn't happen.
Plus the dialogue you get before the final mission implies that you'll come back to carry on, saying everything will be put on hold until it's complete. What they mean is that this is the Game Over mission.

Hmm... even with ue4.... I don't want to fire up the damn editor, just to add two files. If I got the files/content right, I just create them outside and Regenerate.

Never heard of this CATHODE\โข๏ธ engine before
Why do companies even bother naming their proprietary engines
It's not like anyone can license this thing
ancient ingot
Cathode (styled as CATHODE) is an engine built by the Creative Assembly in partnership with AMD for the 2014 video game Alien: Isolation. It is a highly modified version of the engine created for an earlier title, Viking: Battle for Asgard. The trademark for Cathode's name was filed by SEGA on August 26th 2013, and eventually granted February 20th 2014.

median wraith
Don't even know what's this for
cursive crypt
It allows you to check in compile time whether a class has given member. You can use that during overloading for example and say, call this function if this class has member X, or call that other function if it does not.
has_member_X <MyClass> :: value
If you code your own everything, obviously you don't need it. However, if you interface with external libs/interfaces and stuff you can do some easy branching depending on their interface.

https://youtu.be/f_vGVTg848c have any of you seen this shit game that looks like a unity asset flip that final mouse is having big streamers play
tidal ivy
...a 10 minute video that shows maybe 15 seconds of footage from the game they're talking about
what's the point?
so much padding for the sake of monetising that video
foggy path
tldw? is the video just exaggerating the shadiness? :P
tidal ivy
dunno, it's 10 minutes and doesn't show anything
strange sparrow
Actually, it's usually for protection for a lot of shady games.
To avoid copyright claim abuse stuff
median wraith
I was watching some ones playing now
spice viper
But like this game is being sold for 30 dollars but lt looks like a mobile game that really bad
strange sparrow
A lot of the content producers are usually hesitant about showing game footage to avoid the system.
foggy path
It doesn't sound very shady to me so far
spice viper
Also you to get the game you have to get emails a key and some people never get the email so they get screwed out of 30 dollars
tidal ivy
actual video of the game:
https://youtu.be/Sr4noqoj4Ys
spice viper
This company has been known to do shady things
strange sparrow
Im more just defending the lack of game footage not necessarily the review.
median wraith
wait, you cannot sell a mobile looking game for 30$, but you can get months income doing videos from games others did and ranting in others ?
spice viper
Even if you watch the streamers play it all the viewers think itโs bad
median wraith
then don't get it
foggy path
bad game being marketed through streamers, nothing new tbh
median wraith
the developer could have money to pay 100 to play it, final choose is from the people, the dev cannot pay the whole world to play it
strange sparrow
I think it's more a discussion of the company's practices of doing quick flips like this as a shady practice then trying to drum attention with streamers.
tidal ivy
it's an MMORPG style combat system, wrapped in an FPS perspective
foggy path
why is it shady to do quick asset flips? that's just laziness
tidal ivy
I can see why it looks bad but is apparently appealing
strange sparrow
Yes, however there is a certain pressure that does come using streamers to sell a game.
spice viper
Like this is a multi million dollar company that made a game that looks like a game someone made in 2 weeks in their Spare time
foggy path
companies making shovelware is nothing new either tbh :D
tidal ivy
not sure I'd call it shady though
spice viper
companies making shovelware is nothing new either tbh :D
Sadly true
median wraith
@plucky pagoda basically as the people hired to remaster Crysis etc : )
strange sparrow
I think the shady comment is from paying the streamers to try and advertise it. (At least I think that's the issue? A lazy game sold via streamers not explicitly saying it's a paid advert)
median wraith
some where have to start
foggy path
If they aren't disclosing they were paid then they're breaking twitch rules and risk getting banned
so yeah that sounds a bit weird if they're actually doing that
no smart streamer would do it
strange sparrow
The video doesn't link to any vods I don't think. So I can't tell.
spice viper
Oh didnโt know that still so a UE asset flip
Like a lot of this looks like they just bought assets
strange sparrow
To be fair, this channel also seems more generating content from 'controversy' type journalism.
So probably a mix of the garbage market and him trying to blow it up as a bigger issue.
strange sparrow
Considering none of the comment are actually about the video and just him making multiple uploads in day.
I knew those icons looked familiar
tidal ivy
yeah, I recognised the icons immediately

Does anyone know if there is like a central main community or forum focusing on environmental design and the creation of it in blender/UE4 and implementation of it into these softwares?
I know sites like polycount and artstation exist but something more beginner friendly?
median wraith
don't think so something between this and blender channels
as is something from Blender platform to UE4 better to go Blender ones idk
but something should be build or so
wooden smelt
I'm thinking of creating a new forum community for something like this so all environmental artists that have an interest in this can start off there and it'll be more beginner friendly/portfolio building focused, just not sure if there is an actual call/need for it
Since I know this server is more programming/code focused

"Ameliorate" if you are curious what it was called.
It means to make something better.
strange sparrow
It's french
Well it's origin is french and as english does it's been taken into the greater borg that makes up english language.
carmine frigate
it could still come from latin ๐
strange sparrow
It was a project about unlocking and leveling skills by practicing them kinda like Oblivion but more on a individual scale.
You have to take about 3 steps back in origins to get to latin. But pulls from the old proto language.
Either way, that title took up way more brain power than I am proud to admit
carmine frigate
you can basically translate random stuff too latin and u got some fancy game name

hello guys im new here after two days of trying i couldnt figure out something and i found this group can u help me?

I mean ya, but if it's a specific thing asking in the relevant chat might get a better response.
What's the question?
pale dagger
oh i see the blueprint chat sry never mind
strange sparrow
It's all good, I was just suggesting cause you might get more of a focus response in those places
strange sparrow
Also latin is the quick and easy way to name stuff. Real developers rummage through other languages like haphazard treasure goblins.

i did it it wirked then i made sensitivity settings and sound setting didnt work and sensitivity neither
strange sparrow
So you made a sensitivity setting which worked. Then made a sound setting and now neither work?
pale dagger
i made sound that worked then sensitivity that didnt worked and f*ck up my suond so i deleted sensitivity settings and now sound still doesnt work and i made it few times from beggining and still nothing
like in menu when i set it it work then i open evel and crashes
strange sparrow
You could probably post an image in the blueprint chat and get an anwser. Since just a description might not actually show what's wrong.
It could of been an issue of a shared value between the two things. Or something more fundamental. Hard to tell only by text description

This project https://sbox.facepunch.com/news
fresh heath
Yeah, basically
Their blog is pretty interesting
Inspires me to do something in my own toy engine
median wraith
they started with UE4
back when it released
but they wanted to wait until Source Engine 2 releases
seems like the physics still more stable
fresh heath
Source 2 has its own physics engine made from scratch, Rubikon
median wraith
well from "scratch "
fresh heath
It doesn't use any code from Havok, Source 1's physics engine
median wraith
did they put the engine code public ?
fresh heath
No
One issue with Havok was that every Source 1 licensee also had to buy a Havok license
So while Valve could give you access to Source 1 itself for free, you needed to pay around $150000 to actually use it
Because Havok was not developed by Valve and is still expensive
Valve started using Havok in 1999 back when it was called Ipion Virtual Physics

the frostbite engine new hair look so good

Better than Hairworks and TressFX?

oh siet
They are making more techs for something I don't really need in game

but looks nice
will be kinda strange to see hair simulations and alike techs but billboards crossing walls
Layers of Fear 2 is an example of it
the fire looks kinda mediocre with the rest of the scene

I was thinking about that
all this techs aim that rather than the games I had on my mind

What's the best way to compare the performance of two implementations of two different programming languages?
fresh heath
I'm curious how ECL compares to Lua in this regard
For a game engine scripting language
fringe sundial
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECL_programming_language the fuck is this crap lmao
fresh heath
Not this one
I'm talking about this ECL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embeddable_Common_Lisp
fringe sundial
what are your goals for a script language
fresh heath
My main goal is to be able to drive it from Emacs with https://common-lisp.net/project/slime/ or something comparable
fringe sundial
well that does directly support ecl
so maybe you need that
but lua even if i heavily dislike the language, has a pretty good JIT
and its very widespread for a reason
but on script langs the most important thing is how you like the design of the language and how well does it bind to your program
fresh heath
I'm aware of Lua's advantages, this is more of an exploratory project
Taking an existing small engine with Lua integration, swapping it with the ECL/SLIME setup, and finding how well it works
In a way I'm trying to make something similar to Emacs, but a game engine rather than a text editor
If I go far enough with this, I could drop Emacs and reimplement SLIME directly on top of the engine, along with the level editor and the asset manager
All in Common Lisp
fathom wadi
what is the purpose?
carmine frigate
testing
fresh heath
I'd like to be able to use Common Lisp in an Unreal/Unity-like game engine
fathom wadi
ah
fresh heath
I don't want to implement my own renderer, physics engine, etc
So I'm going this route
I know a few people who would also be interested in using this thing
fathom wadi
wouldn't know much about that but isn't Unreal setup for enough modularity to do that at a whim (so to speak). Someone was talking about an interface for physics the other day too. I wonder how well a new engine that is designed in such a way would turn out. But can you even do a game engine setup without some bias to the tech/status quo ?
carmine frigate
you have your own renderer? ๐
real palm
@fathom wadi this sounds easy as in "not unsupported" - between python and the newly announced verse there is prior example of something like this.
Although, well, custom editor level toolings is way more involved. UE4 games with mod support tend to work closely with epic
fathom wadi
Isn't that due to licensing issues with releasing editor tech?
fathom wadi
I dont think it was because of his custom C++ engine, rather lack of mobile support and pitching to companies looking for mobile supported games. I wonder if he ever added support.
such a nice feature. I love it when some coder got their zen on and make something optimised as such
median wraith
No way
Nvidia discovered LPV but with RT
Technically RT in the engines is implemented by DX12 and Vulkan now
now the Nvidia techs are related here ?

some coder got their zen on and make something optimised
This is basically the story of smooth scrolling on Symbian Series 60 lol
Everyone said it couldn't be done, but some dude just decided to do it during a Nokia company hackathonn

...and anyone who's used a Symbian S60 device with a touch screen knows how fucking jank it is
but it works
:P
median wraith
No idea why Nvidia makes this kind of solutions
Nobody uses that at the end from their SDK
basically because they give no external support and modern engines won't give support to it

hmm looks like maya to unreal goes from deg to rad and adds an offset to the X of 90
for skeletons
carmine frigate
that might be why blender imports are so weird
i dunno if it sets it back on export or maya flips it back on import
but rotations get changed
RotateCoordinateSystemForUnreal(MMatrix& InOutMatrix)
RotOffset.setToXAxis(DegToRad(90.0));
does a skel look the same from maya to blender as maya>unreal>blender?
