dont think so, he got older
have to test the fresh produce for traces of tiberium
or did he?
everyone knows bald guys dont age
its the oil from their bare scalp, it drips down over their face rejuvenating it
why do I feel like this page is trolling me
pff been at the bbq all day, slow roast/smoking some ribs
The burden...
Ah, guys don't have time to implement c++
thats okay, c++ is shit anyways
I was thinking, wouldnt it be great if Unreal Editor went back to Visual Basic
You shouldn't be thinking
Probably old hat but I'm finding more op-ed pieces than anything concrete on Google... But did anyone find out how specific WB's nemesis patent is? Parts of it seem extremely specific to Mordor clones, while other parts seem general enough to apply to almost anything.
you should be able to find the actual patent application with all the details
Methods for managing non-player characters and power centers in a computer game are based on character hierarchies and individualized correspondences between each character's traits or rank and events that involve other non-player characters or objects. Players may share power centers, character hierarchies, non-player characters, and rela...
I've given it a once over. I'm not a compsci guy/system designer (at least not good enough of one for this). I'm even more confused over it than before I read it, given the extremely broad language in various areas. I assume it's the specific implementation?
Is there a reason in particular this concerns you?
Because I'm not a good enough system designer yet. Building a system in which NPCs & game world politics change in response to both player actions and (at given points in time) npc "off screen actions" is one of the milestones I've set up for essentially grinding that skill....
Plus every milestone is basically one more component for an indie game I've got planned several years out after many, many, many smaller projects.
Doesnt sound related to the patent to me
Seen a lot of conjecture that WB might go after something like that, so got concerned. (Again, broad language)
is your NPC data stored on the internet?
Nope.
thats part of the patent language, Wide Area Network is pretty clearly labelled
So basically, just chug along and don't worry until it's made then?
even if it were similar I probably wouldnt worry too much, they actually have to prove in court you infringed on the patent and unless you happened to make something identical it'll be hard for them to enforce it
it seems like they have a special form of balancing and dialog etc which is involved in the system
Good to know. If anything I'm more inspired by Crusader Kings, and the promises that were never delivered by the Fable series.
Dialogue does play a part, a bit more akin to Skyrim or Fallout NPCs referencing events... Save for the Arch-Enemy that is generated based on your character creation choices (think a more in depth Mount and Blade history selection system), that procedural dialogue system is much more in depth.
Sounds like youre not trying to copy Mordor to me, I can understand the concern and if you are worried about it closer to release you can always consult a lawyer to discuss it further. My worry was at first since you were looking into the Patent you were doing something very similar even Mordor inspired
The way I see it is unless it looks like youre copying in the end product even if the underlying system were the same they wouldnt know to take it to court
oh lord give us
I mean, the only thing remotely similar would be the way NPCs adjust and react and have dialogue lines referencing if they've seen the player's actions before (in the Arenas, specifically) but gods forbid if that hasn't been going on since at the very least Halo, lol.
Now I want ribs.
Managed to package and run the vr
aww now i want a cute lil bunnyrabbit π

Thought is retUnreal
the new housemarque game
for playstation
Returnal developer Housemarque tours the first two areas of the game, discussing weapons, lore, and more as they proceed through the cyclical alien world of Atropos.
Out now on PlayStation 5: https://www.playstation.com/games/returnal/
apparently it has some raytraced audio tech π€
Deep Learning for foot steps sounds on NVidia 20xx and 30xx
Augmented Reality Virtual Reality. π€―
Occlusion and partial occlusion. Steam Audio can quickly model raycast occlusion of direct sound by solid objects. Steam Audio also models partial occlusion for non-point sources.
Perhaps something like this?
exactly that
Seems like a waste of resources in a game where you're running between convex (?) rooms.
I think they use raytracing to modify how sounds echo and reverb in the different environments
and PS 5 apparently has a dedicated chip for that
but Returnal runs on UE 4 so I was wondering which audio middleware they use π
Audio DSP driven by raytracing.
Holy Moly that must have been super complicated to create.
Audio DSP programming is no joke.
I wonder if they use it for all the sounds or just the weapons, because I can't tell. Audio DSP programming is a joke when you're wearing cheap headphones. :X
Your headphones would sound worse if it were not for the uber complex algos running on the signal going in.
FFT, Convolution Reverb, etc. nightmares.
indeed but we have a complete audio subsystem that could act as a DAW with integrated game tech. So it's a little easier.
God damn, that looks good!
We have a food channel.
Did they somehow ported Steam Audio to PS5, or coming up with their own implementation?
Code compiled on my first try.. I am skeptical.
Ok, maybe this is just the kid in me, but I'm amazed I can just drag and drop a car into the world. Or a building. It's just nuts.
Revival of dedicated sound cards? π€
...probably not, more likely to just get integrated into GPUs tbh
because they're fixed function
I don't think anyone says they would have to be like that :D
do you want fixed function GPU pipelines back too and no programmable shaders? π
ignorant gamers on interwebs want EAX back
:\
life is hard, I know
I don't want fake shit that requires headphones
since I don't wear them. I have a bunch of speakers on purpose
it's easier to produce 3D sound in headphones I'm pretty sure
at least in such a way that it reproduces the same across different types of setups
with surround speakers yeah maybe you get directionality from the speaker setup, but how it sounds is going to be affected by way more factors than how headphones sound
like my speakers that I have on my desk have a setting on them to reduce bass output if you place them next to a wall or into a corner and they do really produce way too strong bass if it's in a corner without that setting on :P
lol
wait, button?
yea I don't understand 7.1 headphones
the headphones have no way of knowing where the sound in game comes from
nor do the headphones know the orientation of the listener in game
they just have audio data
afaik they usually are just DSP's
it pretends to be a 7.1 speaker setup and then does software stuff to bring it into stereo headphones
some of them do actually have multiple speaker elements inside the headphones but I haven't really heard about those being very good since it diminishes audio quality due to smaller drivers and such
I'm really buzzing along with work today. I keep feeling like I should do more but I got a lot done.
I need to figure out how I'm going to handle button combos...
You're right; it's going to sound pretty much like shit across all headphones. Because you have a lot of the same limitations. It's not like everyone is going to be using a flat reference set of headphones that are going to be positioned the same on their head. Even if they did, it's really difficult to use two drivers to trick your brain into the perception of spacial sound because your brain is very good at determining the timing and changes in sound based on your specific ear configuration.
And that's why you're far better off with using a lot speakers because then you aren't trying to fake positioning by using timing and sound altering
oh dog Lordi on eurovision again
And there are a couple of different automated systems that do a pretty good job of correcting for distance and placement of speakers, as well as making adjustments for room acoustics to produce a more flat response. So you don't have to build a perfect room (though a little bit of room treatment does help a lot)
That depends on what you were expecting it to do
I don't really know, why does everyone play games like CSGO with headphones if positional audio was better on surround speaker systems
sure you can
you only have two ear drums anyway
You're either taking the piss or don't understand how your brain deals with sound.
of course there is more going on than just that you have only two pieces of "hardware" sensing sound
but my point is that it's perfectly doable with just headphones
otherwise binaural recordings wouldn't be a thing
binaural sound rendering aims to do the same in real time
It's not "perfectly" doable.
At some point, with proper calibration and equipment, maybe.
Still hasn't happened.
I blame that on sounds being a backseat passenger for a loooong time in games π
I'm not even talking about games. Just the ongoing research for it isn't there. And that's been going on for ... fuck knows.
It's pretty solid for a reference set of IEMs when dealing with human speech
But it shits itself pretty fast outside of that range and with high degrees of movement
All kinds of potential reasons. Shitty apartments. Voice comms. They're streamers. They're good enough to show up at some pro event where they'll have to use them. Who knows.
Yeah there are probably reasons like that, but nobody is even competitively playing with speakers on sort of semi casual level
you'd think that there'd at least be some discussion about using speakers if they gave an advantage, but there isn't
You'd also need to look at the Venn diagram of "people under 26" and "people who own a half-decent surround setup"
Also "people who have studio grade sound isolation"
That part's less necessary outside of "lives in a shitty apartment" which is going to be a pretty large cross section of that "under 26"
We also live in a time where people are fine watching movies with their shitty built-in phone speakers so...
π
And if you start getting into a couple hundred bucks a speaker...
Like most of those people are probably not running some $600 planar magnetic headphones
That's one of the things that annoyed me about that game. "Here are your options: Headphone stuffs... or you can have stereo."

Aren't they in general a closed up environment? Allowing others is pushing them off that.
they would still get a percentage no matter what happens. Consider that Fortnite covered over a third of the cost of running the iStore (accorind to their running costs). Closed or not, they can limit the external sources per app to trusted sources so most of the arguments given by Apple are a crock of shit.
I suppose this is a form of trainspotting for Apple. First you go after the store, and once you can't go after the store, you go after the sideloading, and after that the monopoly.
At some point Apple has to get off the track. Or it turns out they are the train.

Drinking gin and playing Cyberpunk. Decidedly not development related.

Too much ethanol does a great job of killing the bacteria in your digestive tract resulting in you shitting your guts out.

If you add and a bit lazy diet and -> there we go. Nothing big, but I'm keeping some diet nowadays. Which is fine even without that problem.
constant drinking also doesn't help with cholesterol

Lifes like a box of chocolates
Full of overpriced garbage that, at best, provides temporary relief from sou-crushing reality.
Well, temporary relief can turn into long term if the therapist does good job
But yeah, it's not for everyone and not everyone can pay
Books can also help self-therapize (is that even a word?). They kept me together while I didn't have any money and can teach a few tricks to cope better.
I'm willing to say this is categorically false.

Oh! π
I would never say that; posting cats is why Al Gore invented the internet.
There was a thing that security research who died recently said... I feel like I should look that up.
Dan Kaminsky.
Kaminsky was also an outspoken privacy rights advocate. During the FBIβApple encryption dispute, he criticized comments by then-FBI director James Comey, saying "what is the policy of the United States right now? Is it to make things more secure or to make them less secure?" In a 2016 interview, Kaminsky said, "the Internet was never designed to be secure. The Internet was designed to move pictures of cats ... We didnβt think youβd be moving trillions of dollars onto this. What are we going to do? And hereβs the answer: Some of us got to go out and fix it."
I'm pretty sure cats weren't on DARPA's mind. Should have been, though. They'd have gotten more funding.

I don't hate the game because of what it is. I hate it because I'm still working on mine.

@zinc matrix "as a book" is probably what you were looking for there, by the way
I don't know if you have definite articles in your language
Pretend I said indefinite articles. Because that was an "a"
Look, man, English grammar is fucking stupid and I won't pretend otherwise
you should check out Latvian grammar
the og baltic country, baltic aka Baltic Sea (Sweden's Sea)
Yeah, it wasn't like some indecipherable garbage. It was just a thing that I do that I probably shouldn't. You said "on book" so I thought "off book" which is generally some illicit activity.
You can certainly get by without definite and/or indefinite articles.
It's one of those... "pretend to be Russian" kind of things... have a Russian-English accent and then never use "the"

I'll stand by my stance of "Four or you're wrong."
I don't know how you use the other machine, so I don't know if you need instant access to it with separate input devices. I use NoMachine for my VMs that actually have some kind of wm/desktop environment on them
Then it sounds like you could pretty definitely steal those displays
In a pure Windows environment, RDP probably is the better solution
But since I'm dealing with Windows and Linux, nx has worked really well for me
Sounds like an opportunity for a dumb project then.
Use like an arduino board or something as a display... and have it just reduce the display to like... a 4:3 array of LEDs
So if they change.. you know something is happening and you can pull up a remote window
Actually, at that point, you could always pull the tach wire on a CPU fan, resistor (I don't actually know the voltage stuff on the tach wire so... that's a research thing) and pull an LED off that if you just needed that kind of a visual.

grandmother had it, it wasn't nice
lsd has been shown to improve cognitive neural restructuring in dementia patients. Apparently when under the effects, your brain reverts to that of an infant and different areas merge processes (hence the hallucinations, smelling sounds etc) and it refactors neuronal pathways. It also helps alcohol addiction under the same situation
Mate has been working in care homes for around 30 years, dementia is a cruel cruel disease
my dad said that if he gets dementia of some sort we have the permission to lock him up in some facility
wow
I hope utube is good in the future
thats the most brainless stuff u can watch
but for some rsn u can't stop watching
If I ever get dementia I just want my kids to put me infront a screen with utube and just let it autoplay
If I get dementia, I'd just come here to tell you about it then not saying anything again.
tbh I'd rather die if I get it
Also seen it first hand, you're functionally already dead once you get it
Damn
If I get dementia, I'd just come here to tell you about it then not saying anything again.
Only thing that remains is suffering
If I get deme.... no wait I ran that joke out
If I get dementia, I'd just come here to tell you about it then not saying anything again.
Thats really depressing
It gets so bad you don't even know how to say anything
Yeah, saw my grandfather go through it. Dehumanising is the best word for it
The end years are why I smoked for 30 years. They say smoking a cigarette takes 5 minutes off your life. But I think "good, it's the ones at the end"
If I get dementia, I'd just come here to tell you about it then not saying anything again.
Once the disease progresses far enough, you become a constantly tense and cramped up vegetable
Jesus
Yep...
If I ever get dementia I'd steal peoples jokes and forget about it.
Thankfully the Netherlands has euthanasia laws
the best thing we can hope for in the end days is that family surrounds us. That's all I ask for.
I want them to see me suffer like they made me suffer the bastards !
π
Btw people who say life doesnt have any meaning without death are stupid, dying sucks period.
longevity wen
Can't wait till we beat the tyranny of aging
We might make it in time for the singularity to prolong our aging
How do you know dying sucks if you've never done it
tbf it's probably the road towards it that sucks the most, though just the loss of your consciousness is enough to make me hate dying itself as well π
that depends. We might transmogrify into something better. Perhaps be able to trans-dimensionally exist as energy with the ability to see beauty where human eyes could not perceive. Or... it might just be re-runs of Gilligan's island. Who knows
omg
What if... we could slow down time
You wanna make a religion with me?
.
Slowing down biological aging is the next best thing π
flying spagetti monster
I'm against organised religion. Personal religion sure, but fish-heads with croziers and central banks doesn't make sense to me π
What if we slow down our perception of time by using a matrix, then biological ageing becomes less relevant π
What if I told you can buy a soul container vesssl for only 5 grand.
It shines in the dark as well
Have you ever looked at a clock and waited for it to tick a second, but it takes a little longer than you expected? I have and it only took several tokes beforehand.
Alcor?
Bit more expensive than 5K tho
π
and bring you from dead for that price
How do you think I had time to learn kung-fu
Ive read about those, iirc ths consensus on these is that they run out of money and dump the bodies
π
Its a big scam
I can freeze my own body for nothing. I have a freezer. The question is, do they unfreeze you and bring you back to life? because I want to see that smallprint
Not sure I would call it a scam, but there's plenty that could go wrong yes
They've been doing it since the 70s IIRC
trust me, you dont wanna come back with freezer burn on your arse
WBW did a good article on it: https://waitbutwhy.com/2016/03/cryonics.html
"We are sorry but due to a failure, we have accidentally cooked everyone by mistake. It was the one thing we didn't want to happen"
No really theres a whole bunch of scummy companies who do that, they prey on the elderly and eventually just dump the bodies.
That's not alcor though
Lol
That made me laugh so much I couldn't stop coffin
im gravely offended by that one
Has anyone else ever wanted to go into deep sleep and wake up like 500 years later
Why cant we do that ugh
I haven't slept properly for almost 3 months. I could do with just one night's worth of deep sleep
Im always 500 years late to the party

U actually ate that
I am insanely jealous

How are y'all planning on handling the ue5 early access?
Jumping on straight away, or waiting for stable release?
The fact that there's already studios using it in production behind the scenes kinda makes me itch to just throw everything early on, though perhaps bit risky
Not sure that's true π€
I mean, that there's no point in waiting at all
It's a bit risky before a production ready build
i don't see the point i'm always using latest code
and it is no more broken than any release
and it certainly far better than any internal engine I have ever used
im gonna jump in straight away so I can get the jump on others and find a job. Instead of being sat unemployed and wondering what went wrong with my life π
Definitely jumping in straight away. I have at least one project that is very likely to get ported over, and I also just want to experiment with what's new.
Not to mention this server will probably explode when it comes out, so I have an incentive to be informed. π
No, it's not out yet.
No no, not yet
But there was a tantelising github commit
Oh? Something recent?
Here
Ahh. Ok. Living under a rock here, so..
Ah, if that's from like a few weeks ago then I've seen it.
It was the first time I saw the 5.0EarlyAccess branch name.
Not sure commit is the right term, what is it exactly? Is it a sync from their perforce?
Oh balls
I thought it was new
ha π
Yeah, I think that's right. I think those commits are from when they sync Perforce over to GitHub. I think that's what ROBOMERGE is doing.
the commit was from today
π₯³
though there might been others from that branch ;D
Oh really? Which commit? GitHub's search is terrible. π¦
Oh I see.
changing of unrealengine website and lack of stream last week cannot be coincendece !
Oh, I agree about those things.
Not to mention the UE5 Early Access logos are available to download.
So it's probably coming soon, but we don't know when.
Plus 4.27 is on the way, so I'm not sure what the strategy is there. Surely we'll get 4.27 Preview 1 at some point.
Maybe 4.27 and 5 EA come at the same time? That's my thinking so far, but I'm only fairly confident about that. I could be way off.
There was a blog post about the Oodle integration a while back, and I thought it was strange the way they said "You can try it soon in Unreal Engine 4.27 and Unreal Engine 5." Never seen two versions mentioned together like that, so that was my first tip they might come around the same time.
I can see them selling 4.27 as the stable, battle-tested option... but if you want to see where they're going next, try UE5 Early Access.
Only time will tell. Β―_(γ)_/Β―
@solid aurora But to be fair, that is not the first commit I've seen that mentions the //UE5/Release-5.0-EarlyAccess/ branch.
yeah I guess there was more commits from it earlier
it's not like it some well kept secret π
Yeah we know it's coming. But I'm very impressed it hasn't leaked, though. π
And happy.
i usually just don't click on every comit : D
Did this happen in the past?
yes ; >
No no, I'm impressed because of the culture we live in.
Things get leaked all the time.
though honestly there is now far less incentive to leak anything
We do live in a society after all
everything you need is free and accessible
People still leak a lot, for 15 minutes of fame if nothing else.
Especially products with a leaky supply chain.
Like smartphones.
are they leaks though or is it just smart viral marketing
I don't know. From what we can see on Roadmap 4.27 is maintance release for VFX/enterprise, looking at github/p4 the commits mainly focus on that, sometimes fixing some critical bugs in other parts
but no reall new features
No way of knowing for sure, but it's safe to assume most if not all are leaks
company teases X, meh... Chad leaks Y, zomgwtfbbqsauce
I guess they might come at the same time, the code of both is similiar enough
Hard to say. I'm just speculating. They've never done that before so there's no precedent.
I'm assuming we'll at least hear news soon, perhaps before the actual release drops.
Mostly because of the website update, the UE5 tech demo on the home page, and the UE5 logos you can download.
Seems weird to do that weeks or months in advance.
But then again, it would make sense for them to announce something during Summer Game Fest next month. That's where they revealed UE5 last year.
Victor is looking at our speculations
ready to press the button
read them
and
"I will wait"
I wonder what the other Ace Combat titles would look like if remade in UE
like war. just like war
Agreed
Every time we speculate, they delay the release another hour.
With that statement, 2024 now
To be fair, didn't they release the Elemental Demo a year before UE4 released?
Surprised Tim Cook didnt leak UE5, guess he doesnt have a copy π
Sure. It's been a year since Lumen in the Land of Nanite. 
Also, Long Caster is the best AWACS. Change my mind
there is no best one. They are all flying machines of death π
despite being the only unarmed planes in the area
unarmed means nothing if they guide the rest of them into the place where they drop bombs and shoot things.
Charles Manson never killed anyone. Still doing life for guiding others to murder :p
He did chop someone's ear off tho. Strange fellow
dunno I didn't stay in touch π
i got my 1st UE4 beta build from TPB
dunno if it was avilable to public at that time
It took me far too long to figure out why I recognized that initialism
yea its pretty much dead now i think
there is just too much free stuff to really bother with it now
"Who's to say that I can't break into your house while you're workin', I'm just lurkin' through your bedroom like a mouse. Gettin' naked on your sofa wearin' just your penny loafers. Take some pictures leave 'em by your dirty dishes. Back your Rover down the driveway, drive it down the highway, and fly the motherfucker off a bridge."
Stay out of my house. The dog is too chill to care but the cat will murder you.
@zinc matrix But... is there dubstep?
its happening!
I'm having to play FTL again for research purposes. I have a feeling many fuck words may be said
those were interviews from more than year ago
that's what they splash on every movie (;
Those clips were filmed in January 2020, before the UE5 reveal/tech demo.
Sounds like new info is coming on Wednesday.
i hgoe they are pushing it live on wednesday : D
... off to a good start
A video is coming out, that's for sure.
Man, today this channel is under heat.
well from all the things you can ype
hype
chances that UE5 will be failrue
are slim π
Remember to keep free space on your drives π‘
Today's interviews were just a tease, a refresher to get us talking again.
Nothing new.
Well sure, but I mean they've started marketing UE5 again.
So it's probably the start of a campaign.
Probably working towards early access.
yeah I really don't see them not releasing it this week or next
Ain't June the time for the 4.27 anyway? π€
Don't know.
lol
Your ship has a stuck pixel.

Was that a comment on my render?
Epic v Apple - from the judge to Tim Cook:
βI understand this notion that somehow Appleβs bringing the customers to the users. But after that first time, after that first interaction, the [developers] are keeping the customer with the games. Appleβs just profiting off that, it seems to me,β Rogers said.
Nailed it.

Folks, does anyone have a recommendation for a lawyer/legal person that is very familiar with game development/publishing?
I try not to get to know lawyers.
Masterpiece
Turn in your gamedev chip now
No way we can compete
hahahaha yes
Truly magical
First time I've heard of it. This video is probably longer than this asset flip's development process.
Someone should endeavor to make a good game that is made only from asset flippspsppsps
That would be more accurate to the term "flip". Most asset flips would be better described as asset flops.
I never played it, but was Pubg an asset flip?
it looked like it at first.
I believe pubg wasn't an asset flip. Though the creator originally made a similar game mode as a mod for DayZ, and that game was an asset flip in spirit if not in practice.
ubisoft flip their own assets all the time
It definitely looked that way because it was some inconsistent shit
Enjoy those Arma II era buildings, boys!
#unreal-news It's going down on Wednesday, folks.
@zinc matrix Look up...its UE5 news for U.

Papa bless transition from 4.26 is as simple as I expect
you mean 4.27*
ask pfist
pfist has to mention the whole server lol
i feel bullied
I didn't mention anyone.
But I probably will on Wednesday if they drop significant news, or Early Access comes out.
If that's not worth an everyone ping, I don't know what is.

an unoptimised mess is my best guess
Can't wait to port my entire framework straight into UE5 and get 3 fps
Hey don't ping us if UE5 comes out, we are only interested in Fortnite 2
first person fortnite needs to happen. Sick of aiming through my back
i am unsatisfied cause it doesnt come on tuesday
why the people paid 60k for pure scam ?
Im actually impressed they called it an alpha. Because it looks just like one. In fact, it's like a prototype so yeah its a scam π
the kickstarter trailer is basically a compilation of marketplace packs
Dreamworld?
ppft. More like Manny The MMO
I've done prototypes that run better and thats without caring about anything except to see if something works
that scam project is insulting my intelligence.
TLDW version?
I wish the people had more clear ideas about what they want and don't want, what makes sense and what not
why you need the biggest MMO game if you cannot even manage a 32 players minecraft server as turn into a chaos
Yo it gets better. She responded about the narrative he crafted. He totally distorted the story.
An MMO with no server authentication sounds hilarious.
jesus
Kiratv I think has some videos talking about her side of the story, as does she herself on her channel
The rabbithole goes deep
π
Imagine if that's on a timer for testing purposes.
"atleast" NMS did far, far better.
well kind of
tbh I played the game on last stages idk whats all the people mean about far far better
have the same content of subnautica but worst
Far better than this scam.
well yeah
Fighting words: It's better than Elite: Dangerous.
elite dangerous is the most boring game I've ever played.
May as well be a delivery driver for Just Eat and earn some real cash. It's pretty much the same job.
More boring than tree simulator?
