The ending of that game was something
I've been trying to finish Hearthstone but I don't seem to be advancing the storyline at all.
and that aorta joke at the beginning
that was the point where i really got into that game
some1 clipped that offc
||I distinctly remember how, right after the opening scene in the original FEAR, you go up this roof, turn the corner, and the antagonist practically gives you a heart attack the way he suddenly pops into view||
Scarred for life
|| Or the ladders...brrrr||
hmm i only played 2 to the end and 3 an hour or 2 i think
but 2 was damn good
makes ur heart pound in ur aorta 😛
also kinda good
now its starting to make me dizzy
motion sickness alert 😛
The fact is
the game were released 2 months ago
and nobody posted about it ?
renders hairs
can't render grass billboards

what you did
Maybe the cube is rotated
mayB ur monitor is upside right
... that was my third or fourth guess, the other being rotated viewport, rotated axes.. maybe even rotated picture
global warming and the poles have shifted
you better not be complicating that default starter cube
Maybe z is actually free spirited and can be whatever it wants
Starter Cube Must Die by Bennet Foddy
Tbh what direction Z+ is pointing shows how the engine is made ground up
For 2D, X is forward, Y is upward
For 3D, Z is upward
hello there!
General Kenobi
Your theory cancels Y and z
hey guys how's are you guys doing?im right now thinking of restructuring my project structure(code/asset etc) and for the code wise,how would you guys structure it and to make it readible and easy to understand?is there principles that you guys follows to improve your code
🤔
i recently stumble on a channel talking about this and curious how you guys do it
The way it's most comfortable to you I guess
nah hes right wing and passes to the left
How do I get this off my screen?
You can disable it somewhere in the upper left corner buttons
Either Show or that down arrow button
Ohh I see, thanks!
:/ i cant make landscape tiles small enough in a desert..... you can see the end of desert if tile is too small 😭
Wow
does anyone ever experience very small grain size dots in their vision, not everywhere but on walls and sky, and a bunch of plain surfaces? i think i worked too much and have dry eye causing this?
and also see those dots on the discord plain grey colors/
something like that grain in ue4's post process, those kind of transparent dots
I think it's a symptom of eye fatigue
the hell
its isnt something serious right?
you're being hacked sarah
Depends what do you mean by these. I think all have some artifacts visible, but we don't pay them attention. These area visible on mono shaded surfaces mostly, yeah. Kinda how you don't pay attention to your nose blocking the view all the time.
Dry eye is more like itching and uhm.. yeah, your eye feels dry :)
yeah i gess
i thought it was visual snow, i see other symptoms of it too, but dont think its pretty severe as i dont see it on every surface
Visual snow, also known as visual static, is a condition in which people see white or black dots in parts or the whole of their visual fields. The condition is typically always present and can last years.The cause of visual snow is unclear. Those affected typically also have migraines. The underlying mechanism is believed to involve excessive ex...
Dis perhaps indeed?
yeah but tranparent
Give yourself some rest and see how it changes. As I said its all noise and artefacts usually, but we compensate. While it can be annoying when paying attention, your case might be different.
yeah
and the dots are really really smaller than those
There's another term for it, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallucinogen_persisting_perception_disorder
Hallucinogen persisting perception disorder (HPPD) is a chronic disorder in which a person has non-psychotic flashbacks of visual hallucinations or distortions experienced during a previous hallucinogenic drug experience, usually lacking the same feelings of mental intoxication experienced before. Hallucinations are usually not intense or impair...
ah right
I bet it differs between people
yeah
I imagine it's unique to each person in the same way your brain is
but i dont think i do hullocigenic drug and stuff
It's not like this right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floater
Floaters or eye floaters are sometimes visible deposits within the eye's vitreous humour ("the vitreous"), which is normally transparent, or between the vitreous and retina. Each floater can be measured by its size, shape, consistency, refractive index, and motility. They are also called muscae volitantes (Latin for 'flying flies'), or mouches v...
no no thats way different
There's so many different things 😆
yeah its crazy
So... you don't see a green friend? : thinking
Pink elephants
i see floaters, the blue field entoptic phenomenon and the visual snow
and no night vision blindness or light sensitivity
some of them are visual snow sympotms
but i dont think its pretty close to visual snow
cause like visual snow can be seen in the daylight too
no matter how mild it is
If you're worried, could always talk to your GP about it
If it turns out to be nothing, ignoring it helps your brain to ignore it as well
ARE YOU CALLING YOUR FRIEND FAT!!!??? 🤖
Same with tinitus
Noise in your auditory perception vs your visual perception
Not saying there's a direct relation between the two, but it seems to be a similar defect, just for a different sense
yeah tinnitus is a symptom but thankfully i dont have it
It's horrendous, I've had it since my teens but thankfully I got real careful once I started getting the first symptoms and it's not so noticeable most of the time
knock on wood
After looking at it for how long?
just a quick glimpse
yeah i see it for like 15 seconds
if you were like 5 cm away from it
and it was a 40 watt bulb
Adjust the TAA on your vision
XD yeah
XD
TAA just enables past your 80 years
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afterimage#/media/File:US_flag(inverted).svg how long would you see an afterimage of this after watching it for 5 seconds
An afterimage is an image that continues to appear in the eyes after a period of exposure to the original image. An afterimage may be a normal phenomenon (physiological afterimage) or may be pathological (palinopsia). Illusory palinopsia may be a pathological exaggeration of physiological afterimages. Afterimages occur because photochemical acti...
@normal prism
I barely see this one
Different if I close my eyes though, can see it somewhat more clearly then
for how long when you close your eyes
Few seconds
cool
I wouldn't obsess too much about it though
yeah
Afterimage can last for several seconds... Depends on the stimuli strength.
But I guess smarter people have described it better.
But I can understand it's unnerving, I'd also go down a hypochondriac rabbit hole if I had visual snow all of a sudden
yeah, my afterimage lasts for 3 seconds with open eyes, and 1 second when i close my eyes, the flag inverted, after i view it for 5 seconds
Monitors also have afterimage effect:slight_smile:
It was very severe on the old tube ones.
oh yeah
also when i scroll through text a bit of it gets left for like a second then goes
thankfully its not superimpose for me, the dots and i dont see them outsides
damn
i just increased my monitor's brightneess
now the afterimage is like 6-9 seconds from 3
the bandanas pattern have a specific name ?
gangsta
yeah
Hi
XD
same to you
What are you doing may ask yourself
I have no idea
Normal people is with their family
I'm doing no idea what with musical notes
constinit
@zinc matrix happy Christmas to you... Dafuq is that ugliness? (No, don't tell me)
that's a prototype for the corn game
but could be the common Tunder user
now you said it, I had a notificacion there about it
Common Tinder user, lmao
hey nobody have the face symmetric
@cursive crypt got 5 friends already that worry about where I find some "kind" of people...
You have a talent you say? :)
yeah
I have a hidden talent that involves:
A.) Find all the errors in works
B.) Find all the wrong people (at times work properly)
And now by this dates usually I was the only one that in the food find some strange thing that shouldn't be there
🤪
I should work for the police
viewing this in perspective
the bird looks real
except by the lowpoly edges
I gave this talk last month in Unreal Open Day and subbed it in English since you guys and girls seem to like it
There you go kids
Well he talks in Catalán but you can get it
Here is a gift from my family to yours: 🎁
A empty sticker package 😜
10 years ago was bad, now is accepted
Look the people selling gifts others gave to them and don't like or use
You know, evolution...
XD
Its the thought that counts 
Yeyeye
dressed like the gift
someone can be others gift ?
🤖
I get the freedom and that
but
why is that a game category
@zinc matrix yes it is
now the fun fact the top games inside the category aren't even anything of LGTBI but the first one are fut*, someone should tell valve the true
🤪
what the
What are people so complaining about?
@zinc matrix you should check that steam category lmao
I don't care to play it, but I doubt it is half bad as people say.
I mean, it's a loaded analogy, but it does make sense
I suppose they're trying to evoke irony with the statement.
Hitler being Time's Man of the Year wasn't an endorsement of his policies, but a recognition of the influence he had.
Lgtb have phara alike contents 🤪
haha thank you, happy Christmas to you too 😇
People are whiny babies, that's the biggest problem
It's one of the best games I have played in the last couple of years
Yes there are bugs but it's not nearly enough to ruin the experience at least on PC 🤷♀️
PC aint the only platform its on tho 😛
i havent played it myself. heared it crashes a lot on console and even puts PS in safe mode
They shouldn't have released it on last gen consoles in the first place, that's on them
It's clear it was never meant for consoles (last gen at least)
yeah, they released a patch today for it
man, kinda feel bad for the people thats alone today
You can take one off that list Hev, this is great
lol, well up to some extend
Normally I'm halfway down a bottle of whiskey, but not this year
Lets say reduce the amount of people yeah, reduce them all until you alone, nah
The wrong people are so much worse than being alone
Oh cool, that's nice man.
By the way you changed the icon and my brain gets driven by images, so at the first lost your assigned reference 😂
Does anyone here use TrackIR still? I had a guy ask me about my TrackIR UE4 plugin and if I was gonna sell it, so I dug it out and he's not got back to me. But he said that TrackIR have stopped the "registered games and devs" system so anyone can use it now. Was wondering if that's true and I can sell my plugin now or if I should just release it for free.
I have no clue
@median wraith Oh, yeah, I do that a bit. Unfortunate, I'm not trying to confuse ppl 😅
@real palm @fathom wadi happy xmas to you two by the way
By the way you changed the icon and my brain gets driven by images, so at the first lost your assigned reference
Ended up with aImmutableLambda* ImmutableLambdaPtr = nullptr😛
I don't celebrate xmas. I mourn my wallet at xmas.
I can't really celebrate it because I see the meaning of xmas has become about self-indulgence and corporate guilt. This year kids are going hungry and starving, but people are complaining about #christmasiscancelled like they are being short-changed. Kind of depressing.
Technically the people that see their loved ones only in xmas should rethink the part of "loved ones"
and the people that just see it as gifts season the same as you said
xmas is about 2 things, let me tell to the whole public here:
DIE HARD I
HOME ALONE I
thats it
We dont have a television hooked up to anything but a console and the internet. So we don't get all the trash adverts on terrestrial t.v. that kids do these days. They are brainwashed into wanting things. My kids didn't want anything. They have everything they want already. But we got them some corporate guilt items 😄
oh yeah the toys and that
I didn't saw them this year ?
strange now that you said it
now they rather showcase adult toys at any hour
plus we get coca cola ads and alike even at the countdown for new year
is promoted by a company
that sparkle looks 👌
Even with YT's 50 shades of compression
I kinda like them being overexaggerated 🤷♀️
Depends on the game's style I guess
oh jesus
what res is that? it got 1024 likes
The full size for the image is 209 megapixels, but twitter forced me to downscale it to only 16 megapixels when posting. Check out these crazy clear details in this crop from the full image. Patrons can find the full size image here: https://t.co/DHTMY2Mcc4

that big crater on the left is where my golfball landed
play it where it lies
lol, just played with my bro Streets of Rage 4... So fun to remind us of how we played it together before 25 years. Great remake 👍
Gonna thank them devs for keeping up with the original spirit.
I had a play of it but even though I noticed the more complex combos, it just didn't make me want to figure them out. Nicely presented though.
Oh, bet we just mashed up buttons :) I kinda liked the memories and how they kept it close to the original.
What y'all got for christmas?
Guys I have a problem how do I solve the equation called l+o+v^e
|| pow(e, r^2)
Inductance + 0 + Velocity ^ Electric field
Here you go
😛
good idea i shall try it
During this year I've learned that:
_pants = false;

What have you guys learned to live with this year?
🤣
@NigeyS#5142 oh helio!
now you are more sexy than the last time I talked with you 🤖
@ancient ingot cant tag you?
Dafuk
Lol
Man I checked every app but didn't found my gf, foking Santa
XDD
People is like crazy downloading an static mesh where you can change one single uv texture
Like the best promoted mesh ever
yea that shader prolly needs edited normals tho
👀
i cant change scale of landscape help
my pc
no
i use brain.exe
how restart
sleep ? again? no
scale grayed out
XDDD
There is a bug, that happened to me is kinda random

Do you guys check who is the people that follow you before give a follow back?
i check who they are befoe considering a follow back, and nowadays always turn off their retweets (well, 99% of the time)
In this case a lump of coal would be a shot of penicillin. 😂
wait how you mute retweets ?
lol
Yell the word "SHADDUP"; results may vary.
it seems like the people over instagram don't does the same or isn't too bright about the ones I found to do it
there is a dude following all womans only under x age, that share some facts in common and is kinda creepy and is getting follow backs from some of the ones I follow
I deleted Instagram because it's just a useless time sink, I honestly can't help you. Our pr lass might know but she's a potato outside of marketing.
I'll ask but the reply might be something like "press the blue button".
Reporting him might be a good idea.
At least it will start a paper trail.
yeah I just use instagram to post artworks
but I see some histories or whatever from someones I follow
Smart. Otherwise you'll never make any art, just scroll mindlessly.
used to use it to meet people too but meh, don't think is the place tbh
I think the original point of Instagram were photos and artwork
Social media these days is anything but social.
non related with selfish photos back in the days
and yeah sure, will check how to do that
they post ads everywhere, my recommendations are barbers, and skin care crap lol
I want to make my usual jokes but I worry ppl might go full silicon valley. Sorry I can't add comic reprieve.
isn't a good platform for sanity it seems
Men need soft skin too, or something. At least that's what the ad said. Lol
It hasn't been for a while.
Unfortunately deviant art is for some reason not as sought after either these days
I had a ton of concept art saved up for ideas on small details, I'll dig through my bookmarks later and send some sites that might be handy for you.
DeviantArt never were considered profesional for some reason
were an start point for artist and amateurs etc
It's true though there are magnificent pieces on their platform.
Unfortunately most people just visit the main social media platforms. It seems there's a sizeable gap out there.
are kind of random videos for both men and woman idk the whole platform is kinda rotten, about them all does the same in videos etc XD
and the common crap is boring to me
Thanks Facebook.
Merry Christmas everyone.
I have a question. I have a dream of my games being sold in physical stores. I am making small anime games with very high ratings and good sales on Steam. I don't hope to earn a lot but I just want this as fact. How can I make a deal with retail shops? Where do I make discs? Is the a minimum amount needed for retailers to accept discs?
Why do I need to apply for a local rating when seling in physical stores but don't need to when I sell games online where people can also buy them? Modern laws are very outpdated and go against logic.
Also, if I make a patreon and ship discs overseas by mail - do I need to apply for a rating in each country I send the disc to? Sounds like nonsence because when the game shop for example Steam sends packets with any game to any country - certification is not required. Why means of data transimsison define the legal limitations if the data is the same?
The laws are made by idiots that understand nothing about real world and live in 20th century
last month posted a image at UE4 group
I completed deleted mine over the summer of 2019. It's such a waste.
Regular user over here 😂
yeah but just once per year XD
plus for some reason is searching me friends
and each time i join show me a list of people to meet
and these accounts are unused for 3 years xd
@zenith obsidian to hit a couple of points, you'll be speaking with distributors not retailers. You'll also be working within steams terms and framework. You'll need to integrate some things for full use of the platform. It's best to read about the steam process then go about understanding the distributor process. But also finding people who will print the disc's and materials - usually what a publisher handles with preexisting and established contracts and partnerships.
I have no idea man
I love it! 😂
Bruh I am already on Steam my question is about phyiscal stores
Retailers come later. If you don't have logistics covered, there's no sense in getting contracts ready with self inflicting consequences as a potential result if something falls through.
Bruh I answered
Alright, good luck then
It's just Tania from Ukraine and she wants to he your fiance. Whether or not she's really a man trying to get you to send money is a risk you'll have to deal with 🤷 😂
XDDDD
@chilly igloo take ur Y up elsewhere 😛
all the people using these facial filters to blur all the face and pretend you have a cool blured face, at some point will remove their eyes as are as big as the imperfections
@still saffron people paying ads to get spotted drunk, welcome insta
okay found the way to report the other dude
Instagram is another world, not sure it is worth to investigate 🤔
it isn't
rather go to Artstation and learn something
Twitter is the middle point between World and Insanity
Instagram is where you can find art between the insanity
By the way you're the moon or an eclipse and Ortia is something like mars but isn't mars
I came for UE4 but stay for the planets
I haven't visited instagram more than 3 times upto date. I don't use social media for image validation so Twitter is fine for now. It's not, but it is 😉
I were forced to dance representing high school musical at the school, remember it can be worst always
I once sang a solo dressed as one of the 3 wise men for my xmas school play. The song was O little town of Bethlehem. I was 4 but I remember it like it was yesterday.
"We three kings of Orient are, 2 on a bicycle, one in a car."
It's funny that I grew up with black face as a thing on tv. But what made it truly odd when I look back, is some of those people who did it were obviously not racists. Yet the normalisation of the act meant there was room for no malicious intent. Yet it's still inexcusable in terms of the close relationship to real hardcore racism that uses the same techniques with a more violent outcome.
yeah it was a Vaudeville throwback when they rarely let black actors take starring roles, so it was always embed in racism in it's core. Yet somehow it was made into more of a sidestepping to include black characters. By the 1970's it was pretty regular on mainstream UK tv. Even into the 1980's. I recall a particular parody of "The Spinners" folk group where one of the comedians, who was notoriously liberal, used black face to represent the Caribbean member of the group. But it was done in a way where it wasn't mocking him or black people. He had the funniest lines too.
TW: blackface. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLpOpTgQLQA
Russ Abbot in 'The Spanners - We're A Folk Group' from Russ Abbot's Madhouse. As requested by 1meerkatmanor.
Visit www.russabbot.co.uk
Hmm odd co-incidence, but Dustin Gee (the comedian who did the black face here) started with his health issues in my town after a heart attack at the local Pier.
aye
The guys should probably update this 😬 (UE forums)
@zinc matrix when I first saw that I was a kid. I was watching Russ Abbot videos a while back so it recommended me and I remembered it. So I looked for the Spinners band that it's really a quality parody song. But then Russ Abbot started out in a band called The Black Abbots so he always had that musical talent.
😂 I was testing something and I went through everything for days until I realized it. I was so used to manual collisions at that point 😂
Instagram is like the homeless man at the bus stop who smells of booze and asks for money for food but won't take food. If you give him money, he says "gotcha beach!".
It's a feature.
@still saffron I disagree. I'd wilfully give a homeless man who smells of booze some money to get wasted. Give him a break from thinking about his situation for a while. I can't say I'd be as charitable with an instagram "celeb".
more pictures 
@rich quiver cost 50euro
any crumbs of UE5 is fine
As much as that impresses me, and I'm not taking anything away from it, when the guy who made Dreams cloned it on the PS4, I was done. Graphics are now gonna be rightfully in their place, and that's a secondary bonus to actual gameplay. Rather than the smoke and mirrors it's always been trying to up the ante on graphical advances.
When you look at those scenes and add up all the time it would have taken to do the intricate architecture work, and the statues, the rocks etc, it's astounding to try come up with a figure off the top of your head.
I have one nitpick to make there though
Feels like graphics is the only focus of game innovation these days
not if you have VR/AR but yeah it's been like that for decades
There's too rarely something new and innovative (for AAA at least)
It's still tech that doesn't require RT IIRC
But it probs needs some extra CPU beef in exchange
Crytek have a tech without RT since ps3 times running on it
If you track the growth of mainstay core effects that have spent at least 5 years within AAA game use, you find it's all major release work from 2000 where as much dynamic lighting and anti-aliasing and various other small effects that add up were drip-fed. Then we hit that lull from the PS3 to RTX where either fake or custom GI solutions were the flavour of the day. Now we have RTX. What's next? It has to be cinematic gameplay. Which is gonna either be amazing or really dull.
Seems the same they did for distance fields
thats exactly what I was thinking
The convergence between movies and games has always required a parity between tech. Now we have it because the game tech is powering the movie industry
The bad part is when you need a tech that cost x10 of what a base tech for that should cost
As you lost clients
Well, Unreal Engine has been popular for movie production for a while now
IIRC Lazy Town used UE3 for its backgrounds
So now with this tech costing (supposedly) a lot less, I can see it becoming popular everywhere
Both in terms of licensing and hardware cost at the very least
If you can burp out movie quality scenes at realtime on a PS5, that speeds up production by a huge margin
Or well, PS5 equivalent hardware (RTX 2060? or so)
this solution from that images looks the reverse of LPV GI
seems like only does black areas
and the rest is faked with lights
For realtime it's probs good enough
"If you can burp out movie quality scenes at realtime on a PS5, that speeds up production by a huge margin"
This is only true to a point purely depending on the complexity of what you are doing. There will be cases that this tech causes "perfectionism" and requirements for the end product cost more time than would be allocated because it can reach so far. I guess a good systems analysis person will be able to measure the balancing points, so you could say it's more job creation for those that can afford it.
It'll probs be better for previews at least
for sure. I work way faster with RTX even with a 1080ti
If you can see realtime the scene before running it through RT rendering
Im only doing simple things though. My production lighting is simple too. But the extra slack on not having to bake lighting to see if materials are lit properly is a life saver for my attention span
Absolutely
I personally am doing a virtual production project at the moment at a turbolow budget
RT on a 1070Ti, a Kinect as a webcam/real world scene depth detector and bone animation
But well, framerate is less than desirable in most cases
Getting the realtime performance of UE5 would be great
I can only hope that the upcoming previews offer me something
I really want to play some games with it enabled. I can't handle less than 60fps/GSync compensated graphics. I see the frame skipping too much. Not to mention the most recent games like Cyberpunk won't even let me enable it with a 1080ti. Scammers 😄
I look forward to the shortcuts to rotate the cube. flexes arthritic fingers
Anyone knows if my second RAM should have the same Mhz with the current one?
It doesn't have to
Whether you're gaming on PC, PlayStation or Xbox platforms, it's been an amazing year for graphics, with developers pushing the current generation to the limits, delivering some sterling work on next-gen machines while exploring high-end features on PC. In this special, extended presentation, John and Alex share their favourite visual achievemen...
Pretty things!
Anything over 8bits is too much
as long as the RGB is not the color of flames comin out of ur PC
when I built my pc, I turned off every light and said a prayer for useless tech. Then I slid it beneath my desk hoping to never see it again. I've had it out maybe 5 times in 5 years 😄
My wife picks the best xmas jumpers.
lol nice1
If its a display pc I get it. I'd probably make something a bit more complicated like an LCD setup that changes what the inside looks like on a whim.
A holographic side panel would be epic
Destroying their eyes in the future 😄
I have too much chaos on my desk to make a setup like that work. Dusty VR headset, old vape boxes, back scratcher, tape, wallet, box of screw, gamepads. Its a real mess 😄
i would be fine, if i didnt also chill and watch movies at my desk sometime 😛
now its usually filled with empty beercans
also my neighbours would think i hosted somekind of pimphole
we have the redlight district here
yea also that, could be an LEd growery
or if it pulsating ppl could call the fire dept
@light hazel Why Did You Leave The Group???
did they just put a curtain over a table poured liquid steel over it and removed the table?
that thing is dope, but not super stable
Who needs zbrush when you got wood
Carmack is about find new raytracing solutions
I remember back in 2007
When the doors where flat and there was no handles
Then the 2010 came a new tech where discovered and cod had handles
really ?
That isn't a thing yet?
looks like there is a big blood puddle in his room
Twitter xmas edition is basically about rich people taking photos of their super houses and their happy families
🤖
we wish you happy xmas poor peasants
I got $100 for christmas so I was able to get lots of cool stuff to make my game better
lol
I don't really play games other than KSP so none
most of those happy families are only happy in front of a camera 🤷♀️
Just picked up outer worlds, was too busy to try it while it was peaking. here we go!
Also testing my new 20ft hdmi, if you grabbed ABZU from epic store while it was free, you should check it out. Beautiful game in 4k, amazing use of Niagara, very inspiring game
most likely lol
abzu is way b4 niagara right?
@thorny dock https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9NX06mvp2E
In this 2017 GDC talk, Giant Squid Studios' Matt Nava offers insight into the unique art style of Abzu, and the processes that he and the team at Giant Squid developed to create it.

it has a lot of fish
True, as the happy people at Instagram and their couples, just one of the two it's talking with 200 dudes from Tunder 😜
Isn't a landscape because is underwater and complete hermetic, so no scapes
Landwater
The Linux driver for the PS5's DualSense was developed personally by the director of hardware & systems engineering at Sony
Lol.
dude that abzu vid tho
"so basically, bones are annoying... so err we animated static meshes and went from 30 fish to 10000.. ez klap"
lol and
"also, paradigm shift isn't too helpful unless you're playing final fantasy, so we merged the landscape paradigm with the standard object stuff.."
😄 very nice tho
Imagine spend 4 months working in a system and then someone release something alike what you did but better
😂
So? This only means that you spent time understanding code, improving your skills and learning something new.
You can still sell it on lower price
Or you can guess on how the mechanics works and implement them yourself in the best way possible
is an option
Consider open-source
well, no lol
only big companies can do open source and get profit from these
or well know people
the main core I spend 3 years to do it,I mean the whole base is complete, what this guy released is just part of the game as is
that music thing?
the balls yeah
This is what I call "The Despair Option"

If you can't profit from it, give it to people, some may find use
i dunno if thats a good fit for the MP, u can sell for like 60$ max and some ppl expect to get 6 hour of tech support included
xd
if its not super simple its prolly not a good fit
maybe if you use the new audio system
other wise is too big and extend to be released there and supported
@carmine frigate I sold 0 units from the instance tools
in 2 years
😂
on the unreal MP?
on itch, but posted on forums etc
yea itch prolly has way lower sales even with forum post, but i have no numbers of that
lot of ppl dont have an account
sometimes stuff is just real weid, you give something away for free for a few months and u have lil to no downloads, now u add a 30$ price tag and people want it
there is a guy that did some pixel tool and sold well it seems
aseprite?
na other small tool
aseprite isn't on itch
oh it is
well have more sales than aseprite
promote tools with famous accounts and stolen art is nice it seems
You know Asset Forge? It surprising to me people are willing to pay for it
yeah but because that guy is know
programmers get it mainly
its like a lego builder
it is very bad tool tho
I had a complex tool
it's not only because complexity
sold couple of units but even indies working in the industry don't know what thats for
the people tend to buy small toys for simple things
like something for a single purpose is better than a multi tool box
if you have infinite wallet, that is
I mean I made 2 multi purpose tools that cover a lot of issues, but the people usually don't spend the time or don't get it for whatever reason it is, too complex for them
lets say if you sell a color palette for 10$ with a trailer you will sell it better than a multi tool pack of things for same price
Bitcoin has broken its previous all time high I think 🤔
The question is now... sell or no, because I'm fairly sure there's gonna be an inevitable dump at some point now...
no clue tbh
The pop is nigh
better sell what you have than sell something you dont ?
Yeah I'd make a pretty decent chunk of money if I sold it now :P but frankly I don't have any need for it so I could just sit and hold
Beware of the pop
yeah... I bought into btc slightly before the huge rally in 2017 so it's not my first rodeo lol
I haven't really been trading it, bought more when it was low... so it doesn't really matter if I miss the mark on selling it since I can just keep it and wait for the value to go up again
could sell half and buy CDPR they are on a low aswell 😛
lol
CDPR is about to get sued by investors
You think or has there been news about that?
news
tbh it's pretty silly you can sue someone because your stock value didn't stick
I own stock and I don't think I could sue them because I lost money on it...
:D
you can if they lied
someone of you play Arma or alike games ?
Yeah suppose so, but did CDPR lie?
I mean not like I've kept up with news about any of their stuff
well they twisted the truth enough to get jumped by the suits
i played a lil rising storm vietnam
dunno if thats arma like
i rarely play SP
oh welp
@median wraith I've played a bit of Arma and its predecessors from the time it was called Operation Flashpoint. Technically impressive, but amazingly janky.
Operation Flashpoint was pretty cool
they even modeled sound travel time which I don't know if any game did at the time
lol
never played
lol
didn't know that was a thing
Trepasser isn't at any store
it is ?
other than amazon
so what about @foggy path @lucid walrus Delta force ?
🤖
I had it in disc and I don't even remember where it is
I spent more time in Comanche, but I remember playing some Delta Force... it was a pixel hunt, similar to Flashpoint
again, impressive "new" tech (though I preferred Rescue on Fractalus) 😉
now I'm showing my age
I think I played a demo of Delta Force
i have a question can someone easily replace the render in the ue4 from dx11 to dx9 or thats hard
Delta fooooooooooorce
the voxel based terrain system was pretty cool at the time
why its impossible
i need some new features so udk is not suitble
oh ok
im trying to make something lite and good for potato pcs
but will think it will not happen
potato PC's don't need dx9 as long as their GPU supports dx11 or such
you can run low detail assets on dx11 and it'll be fine
@cedar tapir any computer since 2010 support dx11
just learn about the engine in order to make lowcost things etc and perform well
dx11 is killing my gpu maybe cuz amd is bad at that time
isn't an api problem
yeah, dx11 inherently isn't significantly more expensive than dx9
you mean its a driver problem you are right
if you push too many polys, too big textures, too many effects, that's the problem
that sucks if that's the case
I had a 5790 or something? the drivers were always a bit iffy
yeah amd has that driver problem i dont even know if should trust amd and buy there new products or going to nvidia and being realistic
I'd definitely research the drivers before making a purchasing decision for an AMD card
they seem good on the price to performance value at least
so you mean there is a hope
well, the drivers were a bit iffy and had some weird bugs sometimes, but overall I didn't have any major problems with the 7970
besides the fact that if I wanted to watch Netflix I had to set my monitor refresh rate to 60hz because anything above it would just cause it to show nothing but static
thanks poor DRM support
understood thanks for advise
@lucid walrus I wonder why modern games can't display the health status in the boobs 🤖 🤪
@median wraith I think there was a Lovecraft game or something that moved that tattoo to the wrist recently
or wait... am I thinking of that movie?
I'm getting old and confused
haha idk
I'm about to fall asleep, but my brain decided now to come up with a potential solution to a problem I've had. Now I want to open unreal and sleep at the same time

Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is classified as indie
250 employees corporations are indies it seems
guess we wil all be running virus scanners someday, get updates over wifi 😛
I just want to know, with so much investor capital raised by Discord, when are they going to start feeding us ads?
And when they do, do we go back to irc?
the problem with irc has always been discoverability imo
for new and especially less technically inclined users it's just a pain in the ass
the other problem is the account persistence thing where when you log off you disappear which is inconvenient
and things like MemoServ are so obscure that even regular irc users might not be aware of how they work :P
(and yes you can get a bnc or run a client on a server or something but that's not something the average user is hugely inclined to do)
Yeah
Twitch is basically just authenticating you as you log in, which is something irc servers have been capable of doing... they just back the authentication to the twitch user DB I guess
There's also things like NickServ which offer nickname protection, preventing other users from taking your name
But it's also kind of cumbersome to use, requiring you to authenticate by sending a username and password to NickServ as you log in
of course you can configure it to be automatic but that requires you to be able to figure out how to do that in your specific IRC client and at least in the ones I've used it never was super obvious at least to an average user
Yeah, IRC isn't user friendly lol
There was that one web based IRC client hosting services which was popular a while back... forget what it's called
that was probably the easiest way for new users to start and have less of the typical technical hurdles
but I think the service would cost money if you wanted the more useful features... not much, but it's still a barrier
Oh yeah it was this https://www.irccloud.com/
IRCCloud is a modern IRC client that keeps you connected, with none of the baggage. Stay synced and notified wherever you are with our web and mobile apps.
I just run Irssi on my VPS :P
lol yeah
clanbase
I did CS and later DoD, not quake tho
I think the DoD clan I was in was ranked close to top 5 or so in the finnish dod clanbase ladder
and the top finnish teams were amongst some of the best in the world so I think that was pretty good :D
lol
you don't really run into the best players in online games these days
I'd sometimes play against guys from the top 1 team on public servers
couldn't really do much against them lol
iRacing is probably the closest these days where you can sort of semi-randomly just bump into really high level competition
I've raced against real life GT3 racers there
Not sure, I haven't watched his streams that much
I think there's some F1 drivers who do play it, might've seen some in like Jimmy Broadbent's videos or something
can someone give the indie definition this days ?
well people says if have publisher still indie
and I found many saying Fall Guys is an indie production
as Fortnite then
Can't say 🤷♂️
If you do your own publishing, you are just doing that - self-publishing.
It kinda makes the term 'indie' irrelevant if it was only about having or not a publisher.
... but according to the venerable Wikipedia, you migh be right:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indie_game
An independent video game or indie game is a video game typically created by individuals or smaller development teams without the financial and technical support of a large game publisher, in contrast to most "AAA" (triple-A) games. However, the "indie" term may apply to other scenarios where the development of the game has some measure of indep...

How was called the game where you are little tractor?
No Mans Sky
Incorrect!
Or is it? Can you be a tractor in that game? 🤔
HevMansSky made by @median wraith
@cursive crypt well technically you move in a interstellar tractor, cuz the only you do is collect plants and things from ground
so turns out you're a tractor
lol, I see, heard as much
yea its basically that movie where that guy grows potatoes on his own shit
well not like that movie, but more like how i described that movie
Like it.
i might have played it for longer than an hour, but i got internet spoilered, the internet told me there was nothing out there
might be more fun to find that out for urself
also the buildings everywhere kinda kills the whole idea you just landed on a planet no1 ever visited
Me? Nope. Does not look interesting. Interesting to hear comments tho 🙂
also i hate inventory hoarding games
... well, I kinda like Skyrim 🤔
I mean, I endup with a lot of potions and useless stuff.
Yeah, heard what you are farming... potatoes.
i dont walk down the street picking up random stuff
Nor you try to open any door or a closed box?
usually not
i get my loot from boss fights?
I thought my shaders were just poorly optimized according to some new standardization I missed or something 😅 okay it's not just me.
roblox 2.0
that looks like, or Core
the game only had a feature and you broke it
🤖
direct to heaven
i liked that hideo kojoma video better 😛
which one ?
that thing u posted with the floating gun 😛
I played Cyberpunk last night and a guy pulled a hand on me. I think he tried to pull a gun but he didn't have one in his hand. So I killed him. You don't bring a fist to a gunfight.
I broke the game Epic gave for free
refund
was you too hard to that game?
idk
I'm still thinking and figuring out what can be a good graphics style for the project and need performance cuz the big world
Enjoy
I'm hitting my head against the wall with texture sharing
How the hell does that thing even work

I've been looking into making a PDA these days using Aliexpress parts
Probs not the best idea but still an interesting project
the choas demo map hasnt been updated to 4.26 chaos preview 😛
It's not that difficult to figure out from the content examples but is there much that has changed with the initial setup for 4.26?
there is a content example room with a series of examples. Showing the fracturing process etc. It's basically : take mesh -> fracture to some tweaked voronoi detail level -> add anchors for things like structural supports -> Perhaps add particle emitter for dust -> good to go.
You can go further I guess but for basic prototyping it's quick enough
in the learn tab
One of the key things about getting a nice setup is modularity. Making sure that you don't just expect magic from a single mesh building or object. Break it up first, make it ready to break apart further.
WTB inter-process shared texture example
I've tried doing something like that on D3D11 API level and it's kind of a pain... you need to allocate the texture with a "shared" flag or whatever it was
It was added in this version and I've been hitting a wall over and over
Damn thing's pretty tough
And just using the API as documentation isn't exactly convenient
If it has a function or constant or something that's used to do it maybe you can find usages to see if it's used anywhere else
The exercise is the following: Using a render target of a background to be used in a different process, for virtual production
So one process renders the background, the "main one" renders the full scene, but the main needs access to the RT texture for materials and stuff
That seems supported in the BP version, but the BP version doesn't even have the functions
The Discord marketplace thingy where you can add your game is a nightmare to set up
Oh yeah and about that library
VS doesn't have it for intellisense
So pretty much everything is white and with a red underline
Actually frustrating
the clouds and planet bob with the character 😂

Does anyone here by chance know what happened to the unreal fast track discord?
I've noticed that it has vanished from my side bar
Yeah, I'm guessing they just up and deleted the discord now, there were some good discussions on there I liked to read through, real shame

What is it supposed to be?
@hollow basalt did you make the animation or the character or both?
That's Vin Schnietzel
What is he doing? Dancing?
Since democrats won - do you think US is going to start a new war?
Also am I wrong or most wars in US were started by democrats?
Why do they like it? I was thinking that left is all about peace, love and butterflies
You need to study more.
Are you sure?
Yes.
What makes you so sure?
You aren't at the level to ask me questions yet. Go study and come back.
source?
Unless of course you want to pay me to tutor you.
Are coroutines common in Unity projects? Unreal doesn't seem to have a similar concept
Do you suffer from megalomania?
Well, this is what google says
https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/america-has-started-81-of-the-wars-since-wwii/
I am just a man who isn't going to do free research for people on the internet.
Dude you need to first prove what you say is not a schoolboys fantasies because you really seem to not knowing the history
You might want to start by learning the difference between real journalism and fringe conspiracy websites.
And real journalist is what you say is real?
Man you have delusions and lack of self awareness
I don't even have to tell you what I do or don't believe. I don't owe that to you.
I just know that you are spouting nonsense and should probably go study.
Bruh I can return to you anything you say
If you try to prove your point you need to put facts on table
You aren't on the level to even discuss this with me.
Otherwise you are just a fanboying for democrats and have nothing to say
The "good cop" party vs the "bad cop" party, such a boring topic
Woah easy professor
I never brought up the topic of Democrats.
You have zero idea what my opinion on Democrats or Republicans is.
I really hit the point with saying you do suffer from some kind of mental disorder
Well you fail to adequatel express it - all you do is say how smart you are
bruh why lie
I am not going to express an opinion on political matters right now.
I am just saying that you clearly need to study more and stay away from fringe conspiracy theory websites.
Let's talk about coroutines instead
My claim is purely about you as a person and not a statement about politics.
Bruh, you need to study more and stay away from fringe conspiracy theory websites.
Can I eat a coroutine?
I don't think so
Is it a kind of French bread?
The funny thing is that how confident you are yet supply nothing to backyour word in anything
I am about the second part of your answer
Like you believe that you possess some divine knowledge
You aren't on the level to have a real conversation with, oiuytrewtyui. When you grow up and get some education maybe you will be worth the time to converse with about a subject.

Ha-ha, and here we have an ad homined attack - have ever been to university? There is a pyramid of arguementation and ad homined attack is not an arguement, it's a sign of being uneducated
Now back your claim. What makes me not "on the level" and you "above" my level.
How much will you pay me?
The fact that you said so in not enough
Tutoring costs money.
goes back to eating tasty bacon
Uhh

@solar nebula. I made the charcter and yonked the animation
Character Creator 3.
Yee
It's a useful program to have.
So what's his job?
Got a copy for chrismas. Its much better than make human
But make human do make better butts
I use Character Creator 3 in combination with Zbrush.
and an actor
I still need zbruah
It allows me to quickly iterate on ideas and try things that would take much longer in Zbrush.
Gonna nake zombines and would be nixe to have
I Zbrush the final models and such, but Character Creator 3 allows me to quickly move between different ideas.
Cant you use both and convert between them?
Was gonna do so to make a mix match clothing on a base to grt a lot of zombies done quick
I can make a realistic version of a character, then make a stylized caricature version of a character. Then I can use the sliders to slide between them and find an art style that fits my project.
Then I can also make a character that has specific elements of my art style and then use the sliders to add varying degrees of that to each character I make to try to keep a common thing going across all my characters.
It is very easy to move from Zbrush to Character Creator.
You could export to Zbrush, zombie up the character, export back to Character Creator, and then make a 'zombie' slider that can apply to other characters.
Do you have a youtube link to something like that?
I just look up stuff on the Reallusion YouTube channel.
Ight. I was there but still very basics like exporting
Nope. Didnt know you could espically for stuff like that
First go to the top left of the screen, next to "File" and "Edit" you will see "Create".
Then click "Head and Body Morph Slider".
Then you can choose whether you want to save it has a Head Slider, Body Slider, or Both.
Two cats talking... 🤔
Give it a name.
did he leave? (the troll)
It was just getting funny
Then when you click 'Ok' it will save what you have as a slider than can now be added to all your other characters you make.
It will save it in the category you type into the box.
Nive imma look into that
Where it says 'Custom Heads' that is a category I made to keep my character heads in. But you can save it to any of the existing categories such as 'Nose' or make one called 'Zombie' or whatever else.
Nice
But it works well when you have two ideas and want to make both, it will allow you to slide between them and decide the final product.
That's why I really like Character Creator 3 as opposed to just using Zbursh for everything.
I made a 'Make Chinese' slider that turns characters in Character Creator 3 to look Chinese...
Make burger?
I could make a slider to make characters look like a burger... Not sure how useful it would be.
Mao, do you use your custom shaders in UE, or their ones?
By the end of a project I use my own shaders. But at the moment I just have placeholder assets while I block out the gameplay.
I like the Unreal shader tool.
I haven't yet advanced so much to need to tweak them, but I think these 20+ mats will need refactoring.
Not sure what do you mean? The Material editor or how matz are done in UE?
That is what I am referring to.
I learned Unreal 3 as an environment artist as visual FX guy long before I ever actually learned how to do the game design elements of a project.
haha, sounds about right
So my first few years of Unreal 3 was primarily making custom shaders for different things such as waterfalls or snowy surfaces or alien spaceships or materials for particle effects.
If I started learning Unreal in 2020 would I have started the same way? Probably not. But back then there weren't as many things easily available to just pick up and use. It was basically a full time job for me to make them for a project.
Back in those days it was rare for developers to make a material that used vertex painting and height maps to paint detail such as dirt or snow onto the level, so that alone got me one job.
Haven't used ue3.
I don't recommend it in 2020.
I think I understand.
But it was still better than Unity a decade ago.
Back in the day I learned Unreal 3, Unity, the Hammer Editor for Valve's Source Engine, and the CryEngine.
Working in Source was by far the worst. Unity didn't have good options for artists to make pretty projects.
It bugs me a bit that UE texture viewer has no panning in 2020 🤔
so is robo recall free when you buy a quest? not finding a definitive answer online
To me was the second best after iwengine/idtech editors radiant
Still wish UE4 had something alike
