I can't belive how mindblowing hl alyx is in vr
all the assets ive ever done don't even compare to the details they put in
Know your place, at the corner.
In this gameplay trailer of Marvel's Guaridans of the Galaxy, you take control of Star-Lord and are able to decide which dialogue branch you want to take. We see the full Guardians team deciding how to tackle their mission. Star-Lord and crew travel to an alien planet with extreme weather, where you'll traverse the terrain and battle against ali...
This isn't bad, but the animations felt too weak IMO
No "oomph" to be felt in every strike.
stray lout doesn't even look like chris pratt
Im trying to understand something and failing.. I always see people use material ID maps on their models. How is that different from me selecting parts of my mesh and assigning different materials to those sections and importing that mesh and assigned mats to something like "Mixer"? It would work the same way, no?
You still get to affect only those regions of the mesh...
But everyone's using mat id maps
Marvel & Co. is so exploited it reminds me of tv soap shows. It just goes and goes.
marvel was tolerable before disney bought them
Oh, didn't knew.
Marvel is still alright, for the most part Joss still has autonomy
so does the south african fella
substance painter-like programs go brrr
can easily remake any asset in HL:VR provided you have some cool materials and/or texture patterns, at least for simple stuff like environmental props and architecture
pretty sure thats to reduce the number of drawcalls cuz typically using multiple materials means having to draw each material in some order rather than drawing a single material across the entire object
probably better performance to have less materials in total, especially those that cant be instanced
similar issue occurs when having multiple meshes attached and swapped on one object (i.e. clothes on a character), as typically even if the objects use the same material they eat a drawcall also
FLOOF
what in tarnation is that?
that would be the nexus from star trek: generations
Are... are you modelling particle flow using the sequencer??
Just some Control Rig stuff.
I guess only they and their patreons are surprised.
huh, is that dude leading the clip on some drugs?
nah, I might apply for Minecraft 2 instead, it will be based on tetrahedrons.
The contemporary Tetris
I'd rather take the most absurd #volunteer-projects listing than working on Dreamworld.
Speaking of which, that channel currently has the most overambitious listings ever in the last week.
This bafflingly looks like some ancient Linux distros lmfao
Though it is based on Ubuntu 20.04, so the inner side are the latest stuff

thank u sir
Looks like Dreamworld folks are advertising in Unpaid Gigs.. what an opportunity!
It's probably not, but it sure sounds like it 😄
This looks awesome, but makes me think - how the f do you unwrap this sanely.
I love hard surface models
Does it matter how it unwraps if you can use programs to just paint the texture on it? lol
I guess not.
But damn the amount of detail on this is nutty
Although.. shouldn’t it matter how you unwrap??
Wouldn’t there be issues even if you do load this into substance and just slap colour on it
I have no idea, I don't know that much about it :P
It would be a hell of a conspiracy theory, if Dreamworld people masquerading as other people, and posting #volunteer-projects listings as another project (but retains the MMORPG tagline)
😄
Have we been given tools to do janky at-home mocap now?
If you ever see these two words together: mmorpg and indie. Run. Run far away in the opposite direction. AAA companies can barely make good mmorpgs. Even if it wasn’t what is clearly a scam - how good do you think a team of 3-5 people can make a mmo?
Feels bad man
I say bring me anything new
Who cares, both Windows and Mac OS are now treating their users as infants.
Oh you want some functionality??? Here’s some rounded corners lmao.
Oh and also our store is now integrated into everything. By default.
After Windows 11 changed the UI, next thing we knew that people going to complain how UE5 Editor UI is outdated for mimicking Windows 10 design language in Slate.
Windows11 ui is same as windows 10 X what i didnt like at all
They should make it sub-only.
Dark mode in Windows 11 Pro only
DLC 💰
I doubt it's going to be called Windows 11 at all
Microsoft Operating System as a Service 2022
Though I have yet to see someone screenshotting winver of the leaked Windows
It would be bad if all of a sudden we get Unreal Engine 2022.0
Look into Kinect modding
I believe with the new full body IK nodes it can be a lot smoother
Are they still selling brand new Kinects?
They'll eventually rise up in price that's for sure 
But you need like 20~30$ more stuff to mod it to work with PC
You need a USB A 3.0 cable, some soldering knowledge and a 12V power adapter that can output 30W or so
Took me an evening but it works perfectly
Windows and all the drivers think it's the PC version
Even tho it was for XB1
TBH I'd prefer animating by hand using video reference than using Kinect.

Understandable
I have a use case for it however, but in terms of at least janky mocap, it works
Worst case scenario I paid 70$ for a 1080p webcam
Mine is off 99% of the time anyway
I need to turn on a switch before it's able to output anything
Gotta draw the curtain for these curious who hacked your webcam
I mean, I guess it's possible the one in my notebook works under Linux... but I wouldn't bet my life on it
My webcam under linux laptop works
bunch of weird hardware in mine
... I admit I had to precompile my kernel with certain drivers so I can make the damn hardware run.
That’s a lot of movement for “sudo apt install firefox”
sudo... bleh
Wrong. Your apt cache points to out of date URL.
You update it and it works? Wrong. Your dns cache now can't be changed because security flag.
You want to change the flag? Wrong. You need a kernel driver giving you an access to that config.
I need to get that Linux beta of Edge so I can throw Firefox in the trash, having never used it
Heading into the city to look at solar power with my bro-in-law. Might stop by the computer shop to start looking into building a new machine for me and my dad. See if they have any GPUs in stock
Unless something dramatic has happened... a solar install basically couldn't break even for eternity... and that was before the fab shitshow
huh? solar takes a few years to pay off, but it does
and the only other option for them at their farm is $40k to get power run out to where they need it
Well, this does depend on where we're talking about
here in canada I think the prices make it pretty viable solution. Basically what we're going to check out today, check prices and availability
Might be there. But I thought electricity was rather cheap in Canada
Because here, it was dependent on tax credits and being able to sell excess back to the grid... which frequently doesn't happen now
And the install costs are atrocious
It is, but this is for out on their farmland, and the power has to be run on poles over a distance of about 500m. So its pretty costly to get it all installed, and they dont need much power for atleast 2 more years till the house is built/in progress
Your scenario sounds like a nightmare of a system. How does it even get so bad
Battery storage is definitely going to be brutal
That'll be the most costly part. But the power requirements arent much, so it shouldnt be too bad
Has anyone bothered to do any small-scale wind generation?
the offgrid site I was looking at does have a section for wind power, so I think it has been done
just make longer batteries
problem solved
I've wanted to build a scrap turbine setup for quite a while just to do something dumb with
scrap turbine? you mean an industrial shredder
I haven't had a spare electric motor just lying around for it though
i have nothing just laying around what could be use to build a pc
I think I might have enough random crap lying around to build an old i5 4...something
I recently tossed my old hardware, other than my current machine
Some ad campaign from nvidia, for ppl in a need of gpu:
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/omniverse/create-with-marbles-marvelous-machines/
I cant even enter the contest 😦 I'm still on Win7, which is why I so desperately need to upgrade!
FOR A CHANCE TO WIN.
Yeah okay.
I can think of worse ways to spend my time. The problem is that I can also think of a lot better ways to spend it.
my best windows started on Windows 8
How’s about you start working with board partners to implement scalper-resistant sales channels so people can buy one of your damn cards instead of them getting scooped up 5-10 at a time by some flipper.
best mobile OS Windows 10 mobile or also Windows 10 on ARM for phones
@zinc matrixyou making braids in blender?
I had a blast doing that earlier this year. Did you get the Hair Tool plugin? I found doing it manually was ok but having some help to speed it up doesn't hurt
also is that eevee or cycles? Because I had to use cycles for mine
https://gumroad.com/l/hairtool this one?
Hair Tool is addon for Blender 2.83 and 2.9x that will help you generate hair-card based on 3d curves in non destructive way.Online documentationDiscord server where you can get support and report bugsHair Tutorial Part 1 and Part 2 by SinHouseYouTube channel with videos related to HToolBusiness vs Individual license: if you are company with abo...
oh converting curves to particles sucks if you ask me. It never got right for me. I just used hair particles and a twitst modifier
*twist
yeah once you get the flow right. It's a little specific. Especially with the clumping
I highly recommend the plugin I posted if you want to do things like bake down to hair cards and such. I know the Jandals one is ok for converting curves so you might not need to. Depends how far you want to take it. I couldn't say why your render is so far apart from the viewport though. Not seen that happen before
Let's see if Im correct
Nvidia just started a contest where only the owners of tje last gen gpus can participate and the price is a last gen gpu
It's like a race of porsche where you win a porsche
Oh you posted it
I didn't have much problem getting hair to work in Unreal. Although there is some anisotropy. I guess that's always gonna happen though without some insane filtering
Nvidia and Intel love their 5head marketing crap
the prize is a current gen card tho? And it says rtx card not last gen
technically, my card is a last gen card because its pre-rtx :p

yeah @median wraith its hard ti participate of something where you cant do with stuff for it
Check the rules, it says the cards: 6000, 3090 and 3080 afair
So you need an RTX GPU to win an RTX GPU.
Consider it an upgrade, 10x0/20x0 -> 30x0
By last gen I mean the last released gen
I dont count 3xxx series as a new gen. It's just the 2xxx with more power.
Well are the only 2 gens to participate
next gen is stuff that doesnt exist yet right
Oh for a second I thought was on Tinder
Tinder for dogos
No such one in your city ponkkis?
Blessed are the ones who see that van passing through their street.
@median wraith i'd call that app "buttsniffer"

looking forward to seeing somthing like google maps and nanite one day allowing me a higher-res escape to anywhere in the mapped world 😄
Ugh, why did I assume retargeting animations in Blender would be easy
Apparently there's some option for it in 2.7 but nobody knows how to do it in 2.8 unless you install some random addons
they don't, the one I'd like to retarget to is simpler
I don't even know how do I find the skeleton for this other model lol
For some reason the only skeleton I can see in the scene is the one from the imported animation...
and if I select the skeleton then the model and ctrl L and copy animation data the skeleton stops animating :P
I wish it wasn't completely impossible to do something in Blender by just going through the menus and finding the feature :p
...I think the way this has been set up is just wrong
hmm
it appears to copy something but it doesn't affect the model
It doesn't even have pose mode as an option when I select it
but it animates?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
the names don't match on the bones at all so I don't think it would work
yeah it seems I'll just have to look at something like that because this does not work even if I rename some of the bones :D
ToweNab sounds nsfw 😛
how so? :P
i just assume stuff with little reasoning
i had some bone reneme code but i lost it
still have my add bone constraint too all bones script if u like
import bpy
#print(bpy.context.selected_pose_bones)
skel = bpy.context.scene.objects["root"]
mesh = bpy.context.scene.objects["Mesh"]
print(skel.name)
print(mesh.name)
for x in bpy.context.selected_pose_bones:
print(x.name)
bone = skel.pose.bones.get(x.name)
boneconstraint = bone.constraints.new('CHILD_OF')
boneconstraint.target = mesh
boneconstraint.subtarget = x.name
it constraints bones to a mesh
if you contraint bone of skel 1 to skel 2 it is also retargeted? 🙂
twist bones shouldnt give too much problems cuz they are parented
they both look pretty terrible
ehm yea but that doesnt say much
just grab the hair from sparrow from paragon 😛
by stealing it elsewhere and push pull verts 😛
well grooms are not really for real time i think
i think current unreal stuff is kinda hacky
i think only fifa used something like it, and they were mocked for it
well if it is for runtime stuff braids are prolly the least usefull application for grooms 😛
those things are solid anyways
Replaced a number of samey functions with an interface, removed an output to get them "marked" as deprecated and now this comes up

Those are classes from like 4 different modes
python programmer go brrr
is there any way to setup drivers (or something else) so i can setup the movement of my models in blender, without doing the movement in unreal?
cant remember if unreal engine has root motion options but afaik it should
if you animate the root of the character then you can just allow the animation to use root motion
so if u made the character walk forward in their walk start animation
u can use the root motion to make them move in the game world instead of only in animation
u can also use the stuff for animation re-targeting, idk if its UE5 only, but that lets you adjust how/where the motion is transferred
Well.. that's one I haven't seen
There's a great old one on reddit from one of the early patches
Aye, game is/was gold mine.
I wish I could find it
because it was incredible
Yeah... this is a great search result, Google.
the weirdest thing about this is honestly the date
we should also ban poly bridge 2 to prevent people becoming civil engineers
and building bridges out of wood and springs
Considering how bad some people are at civil engineering
STOP ALL ENGINEERING
ban metro 2033 to stop people riding trains
I don't think you really ride that many trains in it
pretty sure it was mostly just cobbled together dogshit that happened to run on rails
yah well you also don't carjack many cars in gta 🙃
at least, not in the missions
you're normally driving your characters' cars
or one that the game gives to you
ooh, how about banning the postal games to stop people mail-in voting? 😛
ban hitman to prevent assassinations
ban cyberpunk 2077 to prevent indecent exposure and spontaneous T-posing 🙃
ban moms
ban tony hawk's pro skater to prevent people telling tony hawk that he has the same name as "that skateboard guy"
Let's do all of them
ban the sims to prevent people existing
wanna kiss while we ban all these things?

i like how theres road underwater and the trash has collision too
oh god it's going to be +30 C here tomorrow
i could never drive in the junkyard cuz every piece of metal had collision
you use Scorpion's bike and ramp off of absolutely everyhing
or use the amd-branded walmart bike and die horribly 
There is about 3% of my brain that wants to figure you out
The other 97% is dedicated to killing that 3%
That's a lie; about 13% is dedicated to ethanol.
I need to order another fountain pen
i forgot if cyberpunk has gta bike physics
cuz in gta if u pop a wheelie u can basically fly off of any curb or bump
forgot if u could wheelie in cyberpunk too
I only drove cars in the grand majority of my playthough
cuz bikes were so hard to drive and cant drift
And in gta if you turn your bike upside down and manage to keep in a perfect spot you can fly pretty much forever, works even in online lol
Pretty sure it's their downforce system messing up
yea, though the community loved it so much, they didnt really attempt to remove it. (after some backlash for trying to remove it initially)
Talking about car physics
Oh I didn't know that story
did you know any story?
honestly i would prefer a car to bounce off my head than to crush it
How are you doing people ?
as if you can drive that fast in la noire

i don’t have exact search because i don’t need it
is it case-sensitive? 🙃
but if i wanted to i would just add “some string”
no
but i can add “ “ for exact search
good good
i'm getting university computational logic flashbacks
had an assignment to parse a grammar where one of the test data sets had a syntax error
the entire student body flipped out. test data was only released the weekend before the assignment was due, and none of the staff checked the student forums until after submission time on monday
yea but parsing is easy if you have a parser
writing a parser by hand is a pain in the ass
especially a tree generator
this was just a validator written in flex/bison
yea thats easy then
i couldnt use libraries for this stuff so i had to go old school DIY
the grammar itself was weird and inconsistent
but once the tree is built searching is easy
but a single typo in the test data was the main problem. it was a > instead of a >= or something
the hardest part was working with operator precedence
its not a problem with flex/bison
but it is on my parser

yah
or was
when you diy it
fix it harder
now it can handle basically any complex expression
which is great, cuz i learned a lot
pfft, who wants to learn things?
i had more fun writing the parser than i had using one honestly
grumble grumble Windows 11 grumble
coming from someone who already made multiple programming languages
albeit the only good one so far is one im working on recently
ok what's particularly awful about it?
i mean obviously it's crap
because microsoft
time to mess with exact search
you handling escaped quotes ok?
Rumour has it that they got Bethesda to make Windows 11.... 😄
you cant right click on the task bar to get to task manager anymore
havent bothered because my data set doesnt even have quotes
until they add taskbar grouping like u can do on iOS i don’t care
do you at least have ctrl+shift+esc?
Basically the motto of every OS maker ever, lets take something which is meant to make the users experience better and have it make the experience worse
would love to have flyouts/dropdowns of things like game launchers/stores, social media, programming apps, so on right in the taskbar without flooding it
but i guess not
I got no issues with adapting to the future but this junk is just stupid decisions to sell training
if the new version of Windows was too easy to use then why would you need microsoft certified training
the desktop sucks ass especially since going to desktop crashes some old games and apps
so taskbar was nice to use instead
honestly taskbar is the biggest mistake win9x did. shoulda stuck with program manager style, running app icons on the background
but it has limited space cuz no groups
well my problem with modern windows is the lack of support for... windows
everything seems to want to take the entire screen
also windows has this weird issue for some reason on certain apps
it likes to make them run at low resolutions but upscaled
common culprits: Origin Launcher, Roblox / Roblox Studio, Paladins
they all run at low resolution even if in fullscreen
i have to change the High DPI settings in the application .exe
see now they have multiple desktops per display to solve the issue of apps wanting to take the whole screen rather than going back to what made windows useful was the ability to have a few apps side by side and moving data between them
cant u still do that by dragging apps to the sides and corners
or is it gone in win 11
Windows went from Windows to Monitors
nah thats still there but its the way the apps are designed in the experience
i don’t have a second display but i have a second desktop i can swap to
MonsyWindows
eg when you half screen control panel stuff you lose access to the advanced settings on the right
oof
also windows mantra if it aint broken don’t fix it
explains why control panel still exists
and why it looks the same way it did in win 7
thats in WIn 10 so its only gonna get worse, I liked the older Windows 7 style cuz advanced apps didnt want to fill the entire screen with fully padded out text etc
admin apps are meant to be lean
yea but its completely off with the style of win10, feels like im running some third party software from 2000
at least its easier to navigate
windows is so stupid though sometimes
i click the button for help with network connectivity
shit sends me to a web page
It's interesting that UE4 window has rounded edge, to mimic Windows 7 UI.
Then Windows 8 and 10 came out with sharp edges, and UE5 window tries to mimic that.
But then Windows 11 is going back to rounded edges, similar to Windows 7 and UE4 UI.
yeah theres nothing wrong with updating visual style but you gotta consider the UX. Like I said Im all for adapting to the future but it feels like some basement dweller is just trying to make themselves feel better by making the experience worse
its like windows is trolling me
windows 11 is implemented in ue4
iphone went from curvy to blocky to curvy again
its a cycle
It's like UE4 editor's UI holds better than UE5's 
Holds better than people like to give credit to.
its like googles decision to limit the amount of tabs to 1 row in chrome
i use ogx so i wouldn’t know
theres simply no good reason for it
how much porn do you have in tabs in order to fill up multiple rows worth of tab space?

UE4 editor UI felt cleaner to me than UE5, but that's probably because I'm a conservative zoomer more than how UE5 UI has a lot of empty space.
Enough for my ISP to call me for (attempting to) opening a porn and gave warning.
no porn only wholesome
UE4 definitely feels roomier at lower resolutions
my only beef with UE 4 editor ui was that the play button was always hidden if the editor was resized to be half of my screen
Which is beneficial for me, as a lower resolution user.
UE5 editor felt more cramped.
i havent used much UE lately cuz UE5 kept crashing and my UE4 project was abandoned
so i should do a comparison later
I do development on a few rigs, the 1080P one definitely suffers most in UE5
ue5 should take some muscle relaxants
The UE logo in UE5 also, for whatever reason, closes the editor.
why does UE have console commands anyway for stuff like lighting settings, they could benefit from better menu layout
UE5 menu layout is somehow worse
because console commands can be used in game
sure but that doesnt mean u don’t need to add a menu for it
and console games can be used in command
extra work is extra work
first of all it doesnt even autocomplete or hint at me anything about lighting settings
But the console command interface in runtime doesn't share the same layout 
i only found out because of obscure documentation
the Command and Console games are my favourite franchise
plus theyre for pretty useful settings like shadow ray count and dithering / smoothing
The toolbar menu stacked above the tabs, when some of the tabs don't even have one, like Project Settings
yeah its abit whacky, why isnt project settings a tab... we'll never know 😛
UE5 gives me massive lag when moving stuff
probably something to do with distance fields
so don't move stuff
It's clear that UE5 UI is trying to mimic Visual Studio '19 and a bit of Office 2007 UI.
could be nanite
but its strange because nanite on the ancient one demo thing is moving a lot
meanwhile i move one pile of rocks in editor and fps tanks
32 GB
i should start playing switch games again
what's something that will turn the switch into a warmer for my hands?
needs more ribbon like 3dsmax 😛
Though I kinda wished that UE5 UI mimicked Google Chrome layout instead.
I hate those shit in Autodesk stuff, even back then.
ue5 ui should mimic vim
just delete the entire ui and use hotkeys and searching like blender’s minimal layout
me too cuz ive been spending more time on roblox cuz free money free servers
obviously
send me some
robux has a real exchange rate
all you need to do is pay $5 to roblox and u can cash out
gross
ok i'll pay you $5 real money for $50,000 real money
like autocad you mean 😛
@zinc matrix you send me $5, then @muted oracle sends me $50,000, then i swap them
so who here got rich off crypto and meme stonks?
u need to make a game
u don’t even have to sell anything from the game
if people play it its a robux farm
100k robux is $350
so 100M is $350,000
and popular games can make a lot of robux
add microtransactions and bam
ew microtransactions
buy money with money
stonks
i make games for the fun of it mostly
although swimmin in money would be nice it would take like 2 awful simulator games that i would never play myself
why would you not just buy stock in Roblox
cuz as long as a game is alive it makes money
why would you not just sell roblox itself?
and the more games you have the more money you have
Sounds suspiciously like MLM lol
yes, it really does
it does when someone is in lounge trying to sell you roblox all the time 😛
^^
anyone want to buy some tupperware?
Candles anyone?
im not selling roblox just talking about it
i feel close enough to being a scammer just selling those "collectable" steam cards thing on the marketplace
i could care less whether or not u want to be a roblox dev but i am one
Im an Unreal dev thats why Im here 🙂
my friend makes simulator and tycoon games but i mean, he makes money so i cant really complain
me too but on the off chance
if the collectable cards actually gave you something when you collected them all, i probably wouldn't care at all
I got offered a Unity job once, I said, screw those hippies
they donate to charity too
also if you could unlock all of them without spending real money, i wouldn't care
so does jeff bezos
thats not how the stock market works
the fuck does that say "amount lent"?
Roblox went public by selling a heap of shares so all their income doesnt come from games 😛
sounds like a scam
its not a scam the lead dev was literally a roblox intern and ive known him for years
I knew Delorian for years, he was a good chap
ok, go ask him why that says they LENT $50,000 to charity
anything over $2 you can claim on tax
he always had the best cocaine
u really think they would donate to charity but revoke the donation or want interest payments
totally legit dude, only sold me 1 bad car
big companies do shit like that all the time
as tax dodges
plus thats total donation so over time
they donate to keep their profits down to get taxed less
they don’t have 50k to throw around wherever they want cuz they aint millionaires
so its accumulated
millionaires are cheap, cant even afford a boat tail
if roblox is so good, why does you explaining their business model make me depressed? 
cuz you wish you thought of it 😛
i mean u can make and host games without paying a cent
and profit from them without hosting ads or even selling anything (although selling stuff in game obviously would dramatically increase your profit)
its nice for young devs who don’t got a lot of money
or also to help start studios
whats a studio that went on to make bigger games without roblox?
i think maybe .......... atari?
like, they made E.T. without roblox
Atari made games in roblox?
most people who make a studio on roblox stay on roblox cuz it makes money
question: if you're not charging for your game, where do your robux come from?
plus everyone already knows lua and how to use studio
not sure Id call that a studio, more like subsidiary
premium players
lol @ lua
but you're not charging for your game
people who purchase roblox premium are factored into your playerbase
the money doesnt come from their account, but if they play your game you can get “payouts”
so its basically like online poker, you cant cash out 😛
quite a lot of roblox users have premium cuz its minimum $5 a month
yes you can cash out it has an exchange rate
what does premium do that free accounts don't?
so it's a scam
its cheaper than buying robux
oh right
plus you get i think extra group slots
so one scam is cheaper than another scam
but i mean if youre putting $5 in you want to get robux
or exchange robux for money
if i'm putting in $5/mo i want to know i'm getting a service worth paying for
i don't want to exchange real money for fake money
me neither people just complaining about the service even though its a business and even though all this stuff is going on theyre still able to support young developers with real cash
i want to exchange real money for something that enriches my life
its not lending
I just want free games, Epic gives me some so Im happy
@zinc matrix this. says "total amount lent"
roblox is really nice because games arent several gigabytes in size
and u download the launcher not the game
I cant speak on Roblox since Ive never tried it, but thats kinda why Im here not on a Roblox server
you should try Core, its free on EGS
you have no idea how much "assets stream from the server" disgusts me
core sucks
right now core sounds like it sucks less than roblox
lol because it does exactly the same thing as Roblox
roblox is less restrictive of an engine and you can get paid real money
core is a sandbox, 0 comparison
what even is real money
robux is not real money
lounge is a robox
it is because it has an exchange rate
turns out liquid petroleum is money now
the buy rate is super inflated though
so it's a scam
what if I told you Crypto Currencies are more like Commodities 😛
so whats a scam
roblox cant make money out of thin air
has to come from somewhere
from everyone buying premium/robux and not making shit
money go to developers
you mean I cant buy robux when its weak then sell it off when its strong
but premium doesn't give you anything you can't get free
it has a constant exchange rate to USD
so it's a scam
it gives you robux and a few other things i cant remember
that makes it not a currency
its changed since builders club was deleted
so ... you get a scam
trading of items like hats
yah, also a scam
p2w nothing
pay 2 whinge
for your AVATAR though
roblox is a way of life
yea sure
like buying a hat for your mii
but the “experience” is your game
you can make whatever the hell u want
if people wanna play it so be it
theres like millions of other games on roblox
of varying qualities
do you get robux from non-premium players playing your game?
not unless they buy anything
then fuck it
if i'm gonna make a game worth charging people money, i'll stick it on steam for $1.50
most of which have Premium
yeah so exploiting children is totally not scammy 😛
you can even put a roblox price tag on the game
why the fuck do children have premium roblox?
lootboxes for adults is where the yachts at
i don’t make my games p2w
children cant afford to drop 50k a year... well not without getting caught 😛
most i will do is sell ingame currency
but that does nothing other than let you beat the game faster
not all heroes wear capes 
like I said, better off buying Roblox stock, all the money, none of the hassle
so you scam money from children directly, instead of indirectly
yeah I been watching it since it went public out of curiosity, like Unity
but unlike roblox stock you can build a reputation making games on roblox
Roblox isnt? 😛
ok but can you make this in roblox?
pretty sure he's just said that everything on roblox is an ad for roblox 🙃
Maybe they sell ads on Discord
yea
under their Wunder Wulfe subsidiary 😛
you know what else supports rigged meshes?
every fucking game engine
so go use something that's not unethical
Unreal Engine 1 didnt
i don't want to steal money from children
you say that like there is an ethical game engine
i want to steal money from @muted oracle
or that children don’t play those games
have u seen how many kids play gta and by shitcards
roblox is the only game engine that charges their players for virtual goods AS A MAIN FEATURE OF THE ENGINE
its not a feature of the engine
you don’t even have to use their roblox character in the game
Naa. Just ROBLOX.. why?
no i said i was a roblox dev and like 3 people started trolling me
ok, so tell me all the benefits of roblox over other engines, without ONCE mentioning robux or in-game currency
They see me trollin, they hatin
You started singing the wonders of roblox and it's great and you only pay $5 and you get money and and and... 😄 😄
- you don’t have to pay to sell items, host game servers, host code, host assets on the cloud (outside of audio), store information on the cloud like save data
dude i literally once had a nightmare in html
no not even that
i mean it was standard html
how many divs can a div div div if a div table could table divs
yeah but you don't understand the gravity of it
- roblox studio is fairly easy to use, luau is pretty robust and has static typing as well as parallel processing support
actual standard html, being used as if it was a natural language for speech
- wide collection of free assets to use and upload from meshes to APIs, as well as a huge bank of stock sounds and music on the audio library
you already failed
Is that the official programming language of Hawaii?
<there> is not an html tag
anything can be an html tag as long as you got css for it
</bollox>
the first thing you said was "you don’t have to pay to sell items" and i said without mentioning in-game currency
<xmlns>
meh, its the most important one anyway
to be fair, this isn't talking about in game currency.
developers make money, players spend money
yes, so the fact that you can make money out of it is a key part of the engine
thats a cycle for every game
which is the point i made before
dude thats literally how every single game on the planet that makes money works
remember that time you had to pay for the poker rules cuz you bought a pack of cards
yeah neither do I 🙂
you don’t have to buy clothes on your avatar
but when a developer makes a game for roblox
it should be treated as an individual game
Dude, that's how anything in the world that makes money works
so developer makes money, players spend money
no
SOME players play roblox, SOME of them play your game, roblox gives you a couple of cents
you shouldnt
roblox is primarily for young developers and young developers only
the others are players
i particularly like how much he loves roblox while being on a UE-related discord server 🙃
and people who want to take advantage of young players
apparently Unreal Engine is for old people 😛
i used UE for quite a while also
and then you took an arrow to the knee
Thats what I said... D: D:
besides i make roblox games for fun not to make money
Got married?
so go use core
what about roblox makes it more fun to use than any other engine?
like i said for the 500th time
i don’t have to pay to host servers
store assets on the cloud
imagine paying for a wedding in robux
having high quality low latency servers for 60000 players is expensive as shit for ONE person to pay
Plus store gigabytes of save data for all of them combined
oooooh ok
no
so basically Roblox is a waste of resources
so you only make mmorpgs in roblox?
we could host some more wikipedia for that money 😛
why the fuck would you do that with thousands of concurrent players
roblox is for MMOs?
World Of Roblox.
hey i just noticed something. i have over 1000 games in my steam library but somehow they're not all stored on my pc 
UE people?
it is free
what's this setting in steam, "cloud saves"?
steam has to pay a lot of money to host those saves so..
thats the climate change option, if you want to save the clouds you click it
It's an environmental thing. Save the planet, one cloud at a time
yes, and that is why there are no free or indie games on it, right?
also game servers are still expensive
they probably use child slave labour for their servers too 😛
and difficult to maintain when several thousands of players are on them
now that's fair enough, IF you're an indie dev trying to make online games
but the question is: why are you trying to make online games? 🙃
i sure as hell can't enjoy a game unless i know there are 45000 other people playing in the same session at the same time
my step son spent way tooo much money on fifa trading
free on epic games store: genshin impact. it's a single player game that requires an internet connection
39 000 concurrent players?
no its a couple hundred servers
probably lots of AFK farmers
each with a limit of like 20 players
farming roblox
none
the idea of a game on roblox making reference to it being made with roblox in its name really hammers home the cultish aspect of this MLM
cmon guys us UE Poeple are such cultists
that'd be like me calling my first UE game "imaginary motor"
hiding here in our little server drinking koolaid
also your game doesnt have to look like roblox at all
youre not required in any sort of rule to include roblox characters
roblox isnt a game though so how can my game look like it
its just easier for people
my koolaid tastes funny. can i have some more rat poison?
you just do, because that's what you do when you're in a cult
p2p is used by many games
then stop complaining to me
and go use another engine like UE i guess if you hate roblox so much
ok so pay real money to make fake money that might become enough to convert into real money
thats why we are in a UE discord dude
we arnt hating on Roblox on their server
again i could care less about what engine you use
its not my job to convert anyone to roblox
and yet...
im just a game developer
so stop trying
youre all trolling me because i make roblox games

it makes money and its free so i like it
if youre curious about it then go fucking use it, its free
its not lua
you said it was
you don’t need to pay to play games
its luau, which is an upgraded version of lua
ok for the last time
ooo a new angle.. pay to play?
you can play games, you can make games for free
please let it be the last time
premium only lets you exchange currency
and some other features that are meaningless
Ah shit, here we go again
@muted oracle i've actually used bones + drivers to make a working model of my character, in blender
i'm new to unreal, so i'm learning that a lot of that doesnt transfer over
I imagine I'll have to substitute the drivers with code/blueprints in unreal?
all i will get out of the export from blender are bones / mesh? (i dont have any animations)
As if NFT MLM stuff wasn't enough already.
ok ok here's the thing
ua
you have to pay roblox money to turn robux into real money. but you only get robux by either paying roblox money, or by being "awarded" it from other people who have paid roblox money
thanks @zinc matrix , i think thats what i was looking for, puts me in the right direction
the word for this is "scam"
🇺 🇦
i have no problem paying for premium because i can afford it without issue
Not a scam, just business model that is designed to take advantage of kids
and i do so so i can exchange money
bitch you said it would be the last time
literally every game that kids can play is taking advantage of kids
this is provably false
Fortnite 
At the very least, Fortnite Creative is free though
I didn't say playing the games. I said the business model. 😉
a parent giving their child access to games they bought for themselves on (e.g.) epic or steam is not exploiting the child
well again spending money on roblox is on their accord
i'm gonna create my own fortnite
so is spending money on skins or crates or cash
with roblox, and hookers
again, morals are on each of us individually.
i make good quality games for roblox
obviously
stop trying to sell Fortnite to me guyz
and i like being able to make whatever i want without draining my pockets
vbux:robux conversion will be based entirely on market forces and a brownian motion random number generator
since i mostly make racing and shooter games, online multiplayer is necessary
I could buy $5 worth of EA stock each month
tyrian2000 called. it wants you to implement a multiplayer version that pays it robux
or you could make over $1000 in net profit each month
I cannot believe Epic still have yet to update Control Rig docs 
I can make racing and shooter games for single player games ...
choice is yours
so what
i don’t want to make singleplayer games
can't believe don't use dark mode 😄
why not?
yeah doesnt sound like a sales pitch
he can't scam kids
because theyre fucking boring and take a lot more effort
like no one here earns $1000/m on Epic MP
ooooooooooooh ok
even if its singleplayer
so you don't want to put in the effort to make your game GOOD
i don’t see the argument
you just want kids to send you money
no, i like making fun games you can play with your friends at no cost
Isn't multiplayer take even more effort, because of the networking mumbo jumbo? You can get lazy with the system programming and get away with it in SP games.
i hate singleplayer games because they get boring and you literally play alone
okay done with this convo
so how about distributing them on a platform that won't ever charge them to play?
Some monitors light is worst when the text is white
you don’t have to spend money and you don’t have to buy premium
i don’t make p2w
you can play the game as much as you want for free
no restrictions, no ads
i don’t fucking care who spends money on my game or how much they spend. i give people the option if they don’t want to actually play the game otherwise i get a million complaints about people who want to buy stuff they have to play for
Winona rider?
so you're not immoral, you're just amoral?
i make my games fair and fun to play with others regardless of if you spend any money at all
inb4 there's an infuriating gacha locking behind essential items to progress 
😄
no its just a standard racing game
stock roblox avatar
looks like someone ripped off lego and didnt pay for the IP 😛
But then the faster cars locked beind gacha, so you can't progress without acquiring those
Don't @ me
like the ashphalt series
I want to make a game that everything is paywalled. Like a shooter game where you have to buy ammo for real money
Just in context to that message though 
for REALISM
make the quit button paywalled
the thing is that i also place people in tiers in my racing game
skill based not money based
so even if you pay a lot of money but suck at driving
skill of payment based lol
yah i'm very skilful at paying money
I guess you're going to imitate CS GO with the Prime stuff
paying money doesnt give you a god tiercar
it just lets you buy more expensive cars
usually faster but weaker and harder to handle
sell fuel in the racing game
buy mechanics to fix the car
STR: 8
DEX: 12
CON: 8
INT: 15
WIS: 14
$$$: 18/**
Just copy CS GO's Prime system and get away with it. Add gacha for the decals or the engine component if you want to.
STR: 8
DEX: 12
CON: 8
INT: 15
WIS: 14
CHA: 2
$$$: 18.00
subscription model for hiring pit crew
no
all i want is to make a fun game that is good quality and has multiplayer
Yes. You can not reject my trade offer.
but without p2w
"sure, you can replace your blown tyres, but it's gonna cost you parts AND labour"
REALISM
at least not to the extent of “i paid $50000 so i win every race”
or “pay $500 to continue playing or wait 2 years”
yah, more like "i paid $50000, so now i have the starter car" 🙃
#lounge hasn't been this entertaining since the "truth" guy or since Vegan. Ahh they were the days 😄 😄
I mean, recently Valve nerfed free CS GO players so hard that might as well buy the Prime feature.
are robux vegan? 
rubles or rubbles?
there's a difference?
I also keep forgetting to buy CS GO Prime until its too late lmao
only UE game i remember making was LAN only and i was going to push to online but looked at server costs and just killed it
EoS
on the topic of things that exist but shouldn't
Epic Online Services might do the job.
i work by myself and i don’t have the money to pay for that stuff
how does EoS work
That's wot I said 😄
Is this meta human or a real person?
no, it doesn't make money. it's only on steam 😿
cough Patreon
i have a patreon but 0 patrons
cant make a miricle
Shocking. I wonder why?
maybe start by putting effort into making your games good
because im spending years on games
needs more nanites
Its a real person but when I saw it I thought it was meta human.
Don't tell me it's because of the lack of content 
I’m making all the assets by hand
and it takes a long time
i never buy assets to use in my game
but.. all the free assets that stream and stuff? 😄
or use random free assets
I gave my child a credit card and they bought a BMW online
a match car BMW?
i make all the music, art, UI, characters, models, maps...
nah life size
and if it takes studios years to make games like that
oh yeah i feel your pain. i hate it when i misfire the laser and a whole bunch of electrons flip positions
oh but the free Discord months actually need you to enter the payment info 🤖
takes me even longer
The guy that started the Scooter crazy some 10 years back was 9 years old when he first stole his dads credit card and spent 4 grand.
If you make assets, you can sell few of them in Marketplace, that's another way to make revenue 
its really stressful cuz we're christians so they should have got the Mercedes Benz
i already sell assets, vrchat avatars
and i want to make personalized game assets for my game
In case of getting accused of asset flipping, just say, "Bitch, I made those assets!"
That is impressive and makes me tired just thinking about it!
oh good, you sell other scams
😬
That is if the assets are made from scratch.
they are
Guys, I'm in that state of analysis paralysis and I need to shake out of it
I make all my own assets

just do it...as Nike would say
try roblox.. it cures all!
the only time i use “free assets” are when I’m using placeholders
but theyre always replaced
Try Noblox
Lol Aye, I get so turned off be the gamble of if my game will make enough sales or any sales haha
Is that better or worse than bollox?
Increase it by outrageous Twitter marketing 
First game?
or first few?
Like months/year of work and it's all about timing, marketing and the niche. So many if's haha. @primal spoke Naw I released on already
only your second game?
Yes this would be my second game
The 3% of the world that actually uses Twitter will rage... 😄
Look for things that coincidenally match the stuff in your game and the trending, and milk the crap out of it 🥛
hmmmm....odds are stacked against you bro ngl
I'm working on my second, the game I just linked was my first
love it when this happens
lol my roblox avatar is a furry maid
