ahhh the sitcom starts
That's it. A cup of coffee to remedy this bad pun
The hero we need
thats not the gif but based on that.
ok
the lounge is trippin.
nvm
lets get back to sitcom text based humor....go!
parallel processing
ur a bad language
Here is a good funny UE related video: https://youtu.be/PsPabalNDLk
Funny infomercial style video about The Unreal Engine Building Tool. I love unreal engine and use it as my primary game dev engine, btw. But, I think its appropriate to have a little fun and make some comedy every now and then.

I'd like to throw the next person that says "brrrrrr" into a river, but it's freezing down here in Antarctica.
doggo go b|| ork ||
wait I didn't see the end credits roll.
Apparently Tucows site crashed my entire computer...
That's my call for coffee I guess
Coffee by Sylvan Esso is a great song.
Gavin Palone always produces great content.
woo Cyberpunk got a patch
i wish they would unpatch all the fun glitches and patch the unfun ones
i miss katana flying and building sliding
I wonder what new game breaking glitches they would brought into the table 
Patch 1.1 had that softlocking glitch IIRC
You said CP?
that is pretty Cyberpunk tbh
scpecific tho
Narrator: "You observe how a car gives a birth to a bike in the wild"
sounds like Morgan Freeman
wow some of this Quixel+UE5 stuff looks so real
what dose manny do??
Can't even expect some honesty from latex gloves box smh
It's powderless, they say. Ended up leaving powdery mess on my hand regardless.
Being the main character of Dreamworld 
Low expectations
Dune Eternal
Weird how you don't feel multivitamins until you stop taking them.
Nah, Dune, whatever was the StarWars nonsense new episodes
I tried to watch Dune and couldn't finish it.
Time for some coffee.
Please tell me you didn't put on a white glove to mask your skin...
see coffee in the middle
A mind independent person can be emphatic at all ?
Nope, just wearing them for the heck of it.
He likes his coffee radioactive hot.
those gloves would melt
Also useful to hide his scaly lizard skin from the mortals.
I'm fine for being a brown man, though this just to reduce grease on my equipments.
my hands look like I'm a white guy but I'm not.
I need to start waving at the sun to get some color on my hands.
Me:
My hands sweat quite a bit even in cold weather (and by cold, I mean 23°C)
Thus causing grease every so often on my equipments
I can't read Celsius or the metric system.
USA
jk
I read the metric system at least.
but Fahrenheit is more my speed.
The conversion from C to F throws me, since 0c is 32f, so C always ends up being warmer than I expect it to.
Yeah I wish US would convert, tbh.
That would be 72°F
It is 1.4 multiple and 32 additional or the opposite
72 not cold.
But I guess that depends where you live tho.
We all know 0 + 0c are 64f
By your winter standard.
I live near the equator and tropical area, thus 23°C felt cool enough already.
there's one point where it stops being confusing
-40 degrees Celsius are actually -0.69 radiants Fahrenheit
30°C is deemed warm enough in here, which is roughly 86°F
currently:
Which is 33°C and nearly peak daytime hot.
wow
Beautiful:
Though 33°C is fairly common when it's not raining, and not really an alert.
We got a wormhole it seems
T × 1.8 + 32
T ÷ 1.8 - 17.7777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777
Lots of wormholes in my yard.
I can live with this temperature, and even going outside with little to no issue.
It just sucks we are in such a polluted mess that we are on alert
I got bored typing the 7s. I will try harder next time.
I bet you kill at parties.
😁
What are your rates for children's birthday parties?
It could get worse in Jakarta, which is such polluted, it could get even hotter than that.
np, I got that.
I've never been to Indonesia.
I would like to go some day.
Closest I've been is Singapore.
Go visit Yogyakarta someday, that's where I live. It's better laid out as a city, so it'll be easier to navigate and have quite a lot of interesting point of interest and vistas than Jakarta.
@muted oracle Found one of my marketing tips: Playtesting is not just a QA function it can also serve as a pseudo focus group
I'm going to stop by and see if you are wearing latex gloves around your house 😁
I bet you will 
Its amazing how Ms Excel is still so powerful. lol. Like its used in Game Dev also weirdly!
She can organize your pivot tables with a flick of the wrist!
I finished playing a video game. What a crazy time to be alive
Its just weird that something so not game dev related is so important to game dev.
I can tell you're not a designer then
nope
So designers are heavy Excel users?
If you're any good at it, you'll be using a spreadsheet a lot
for what?
If you're not, you use a dartboard and human shit
I try not to use human shit when designing video games.
Unless your game doesn't have any numbers... you need to do a lot of math and data tracking
didn't know you were going in that direction as a designer.
Shootmania: No Excel
Borderlands: Excel !
Doom: Slide ruler ?
If you're not designing systems, you're basically "random ideas guy" which is the problem with a lot of games
And balance winds up all over the fucking place
Ideas Guys in game dev...sigh.
A lot of games seem to achieve a very tepid balance that's not interesting to play. I can't tell if they used or needed Excel to achieve it.
THE USA HAS A NEW FEDERAL HOLIDAY!!!!!! HELL YES!!!!!
is it "This is the day you vote for terrible people" day?
Juneteenth
Too many ideas hurt the game even for a game like an MMO
Cooks in the kitchen analogy.
Drue
Warframe: "I feel attacked."
Which is almost certainly a game that's been excel'd to death.
I'd rather develop 1 system really well than 10 systems that would need a later rework or just removal
At what point does "Hours of player grind" get a red highlight?
When you realize you aren't playing the game for fun
That was a thousand hours ago.
"A game should make you want to waste your time, not make you feel like you're wasting your time"
-- wise bald man
But I'm referring to the perspective of the designer. Someone there has precisely calculated how long it takes to earn X things to access Y content.
You hope someone bothered to do some calculations
its a trap, wise men are never bald, they always have long grey hair and beards
I love mah xcel. I don't love games where xcel made everything have the exact same dps.
Some legit music would make this GIf amazing.
On a related note, Coca Cola Coffee caramel flavor tastes terrible!
Never trust things that say "flavor"
Caramel is burnt sugar. It shouldn't have a flavor.
Trust is such a powerful word for Coca Cola Coffee lol.
Yo I was thinking the same thing but its Flava not Flavor I think.
Well flavor is still spelt wrong in these parts 😛
hmm this Spotify survey is interesting, its asking me about how much I play video games
"How happy would you be if we redesigned the UI for the 20th time, again?"
On a scale of 1 happiness to 10 happy
UI guy at @spotify: "hmm our users seem to have gotten comfortable with our UI, what if we moved the refresh button AGAIN?"
No actually they are asking about playing Spotify while gaming
They seem to think they can replace a games soundtrack, I was kinda hoping they would be more in tune than that
Am I the only one who just can’t sit through Attack on Titan’s Red Swan opening
Never heard of AoT or just the opening
Imagining Attack on Titan is a Marvel thing 
It IS anime stuff
Ponkkis you are master of discovery.
My other bet would be a game from EA
big brain moment
So true
Ahahah
New ads will focus in front of your eye and pause if you blink for too long. My 2c
Not even surprised, given that Oculus is a Facebook Inc. company, and Quest is a "console-ised" version of PC VR.
Not even shocked. Actually I am shocked it hasn’t happened sooner. Facebook is literally this soon-to-wither leech that’s grasping at anything to keep itself fed. I hope they go under and Zuch ends up blowing people for likes and sandwiches under a bridge somewhere in rural Mexico.
I cannot emphasise enough how much I hate his company and their business model.
Facebook is literally this soon-to-wither leech that’s grasping at anything to keep itself fed they have the riches audience of all social media.
Its the demographic.
I think something like 75% of the wealth on social media uses Facebook primarily.
Like im not predicting anything here. I’m hoping they go under. Will all my heart.
I hope they can adapt and change for the better, not go under. They employ lots of good people also.
by better I mean socially and ethically not financially.
People have an amazing ability of being employable in other companies.
They’ll be fine.
coffee in a sachet for me.
can I get that at a gas station in the US?
I plan the trailers for more than the actual games
Not in the US, but many angkringan in Indonesia have a lot of them, for less than a buck.
tractor trailers
a bunch of boys making trailers in a park.
never watched it, ive heard of it.
worth my time?
pothead and criminal should never be used in the same sentence.
but that is another topic.
I know that this question will be a little off topic, do you guys know if there's a channel for Epic Metaverse ? mostly brainstorming and/or product development ?
lol off topic, I just asked the best coffee drink I can buy at a gas station better than Monster.
Not that we're aware of, especially related to Metaverse stuff.
Though this very channel and #ue4-general have been used to discuss game idea and a bit of gamedev brainstorming using UE4
I know the basis of Metaverse is the unification and standardization of gaming and seamless integration. But I want to know what you guys think that actually translates into ---- could you bring your custom avatar from Fortnite into a virtual "lobby" and then into GTA5 ?
90% of this channel is situational comedy, imo.
Who knows if those two can intercommunicate at all.
We don't even remotely aware of Metaverse until you mentioned it 
today yeah lol!
I mean I do know that Epic is pretty serious about metaverse --- when 2 billion is on the table for this project
And I barely knew it existed 
Though this server as a whole doesn't even remotely talk about Epic Metaverse.
This is geared more towards those making games and other kind of CG media using Unreal Engine, than other Epic product (with Epic Online Services being the semi-exception)
Same, the more I think of it, the less sense it makes.
Crossovers are cool and all, but we've been doing (unofficial) crossovers via mods for years now. I don't know precisely what Metaverse is achieving, or reinventing the wheel in one way or another.
Not to mention some devs might not want their games to have crossovers in any official capacity.
well as a creator I was curious to know what would Metaverse entice in the "pipeline" either for devs or 3 d artists or simply just for the end user
lol
I doubt that the majority of Very Positive reviews are genuine 
Death Stranding on its own is not interesting to me, tbh
I thought that was Death Stranding at first
The problem would be the developer's blessings. Some are picky about it and don't want their stuff crossovers with another game.
DS was such a disappointment to everyone in my family.
I think it's getting the praise solely because of Hideo Kojima.
You strip that name away and I'm sure the reviews will be terrible.
I mean its a boring Masterpiece if that is even a thing.
Complex characters, deep storyline if not a bit complex, graphics, etc. all good just boring.
I don't think so.
For example, I want my game to somehow crossover with Idolmaster or Final Fantasy, but I don't want it to crossover with boomer shooter mascots.
It wouldn't get as much praise but it is still a work of art.
To me DS had 1 flaw, boring.
Death Stranding semi predicted COVID-19 pandemic, I'll give them that.
how?

its funny cuz walking dead man and made by konami
People sheltering in, the only people roaming around most of the times are couriers.
At least in the early pandemic days.
ahh yeah good point.
but its also funny cuz it made such a weird impact
didn't think about it that way. @quasi mantle
its both a game u never hear about and a game that u do, like in some sort of limbo of being forgettable yet memorable
Speaking of which, Metal Gear Solid 2 also predicted internet culture 15 years later
And it's also a Hideo Kojima game.
ready player one book and movie predicted vrchat and facebook and were not even all the way there yet
Speaking of Ready Player One, in a completely unrelated but also somehow related note...
EARTH 2
funny enough I was hoping that that's what Metaverse will bring - ready player one pre-alpha ---
Have you read RP2 yet?
with 100% control as the creator as how permissions work in your creations
neosvr exists and also the ad space thing with facebook lol
Again, the problem is the developer's blessings, and I'm not even sure if Metaverse is just a marketable form of reinventing the modding wheel.
oh you were talking about the movie?
i mean theyre similar enough in content
you have many platforms NeosVR / VrChat/ Sansar/ Helios
I've been doing mods and crossover models across games since 2006.
but sansar is shit and basically only for event hosting now even though it was planned to be the next second life
and vrchat lacks anything complicated as persmissions
I know I have created tons of content for Sansar
nice, i tried it too but gave up
that's why I kinda want to see a serious player take this task full on
I understand the capacity of modding, because it's in an unofficial capacity, but what if a game refuses to be part of Metaverse in any official capacity?
you can control that with gateways
well its a point where UGC is integrated instead of just 'modding'
in Unreal or Unity
like with gmod id say its more UGC less 'modding'
gate in / gate out
Say, I don't want my game to be crossovered with something else, in any official capacity. Can Metaverse prevent it from happening?
cuz the UGC is a fundamental part of the game itself
again as a creator or studio you should have 100% control on what can come in and what can go out
also people have tons of ripped and pirated assets walking around vrchat from either other creators or other videogames, including fan art of course
vrchat takes similar steps to youtube where if requested the content will be taken down and uploader reprimanded
That's under unofficial capacity, as far as I'm concerned.
Metaverse seems to take this in semi official capacity though
not exactly
when you have hundreds of thousands of people making several avatars and worlds at the same time
it costs a lot of money to individually moderate every single thing to come out
I mean on the plus plus side Epic is pretty strict on what goes on their marketplace / and the 12% tax is much better than others
so most people only moderate after the fact cuz their ToS protects them from the backlash and assumes guilt/fault on the content creator
but roblox for example moderates all assets usually, but nowadays they get stopped by a bot content filter for manual review if they raise red flags, or remain undetected until reported
Are people really that concerned with their assets getting out?
to be honest - pirated content will never subside from existence - and as a creator you have to rely on the market and sales of your creations to cover for those expected losses / and as a pack / avatar creator you basically have to keep pushing forward
To be put in certain games, in semi official capacity? Yes.
It feels like it would be a pain to recreate the same product even with ripped assets. Which would be the only real threat to the product.
also piracy in some cases can assist with profits as some pirates tend to purchase the game, gaining interest in it after playing it, although im not sure how much that is relative to those who dont pay anything ever
I mean yeah if you’re an established company you don’t want another company’s assets in your game via community. Sure I get that. I am more asking about someone making a game and then spending ages taking down ripped models and stuff off of 3D asset sites whether commercially redistributed or not.
also it will become the duty of turbosquid and schetchfab and marketplace and others to police that
kinda sorta yea
most of the time like i said they do nothing until someone tells them to and then they take action cuz that requires a smaller moderation team/staff
Pirating is more or less how people try games out cause sometimes that’s the only way to get a demo experience without the hassle of “refund grace periods”
or also have content filter bots to help with recognizing material like youtube content id
Which is shame that only companies like Square Enix still do demos.
And yeah, a person who never intended to spend money on your game wouldn’t have bought it even if they had it. It’s not really a lost sale considering digital distribution
the main issue with demos is usually the feature set is very limited allowing only a few seconds, maybe a minute or 2 of gameplay
I don't mind the pirates .... honestly I think that's more or less free advertising
and that makes sense but its not always enough for someone to be able to figure out whether or not they will enjoy the game
anti piracy is always kinda funny though
to me i like the games that make fun of the fact you pirated it but dont actually prevent you from playing
I’m looking at it this way - people who willingly want to support you and your product will always opt to buy it. It’s not like a pirated copy existing suddenly tanks your sales. It doesn’t work like that.
or they just do something stupid to make it more annoying
i.e. gta 4 anti piracy, game dev tycoon anti piracy, the "What's the square root of a fish?" anti piracy message,
My brother really wanted to play DoS2 but had no money, he pirated it. Then he got a job and bought the definitive edition right away cause he loved the game so much.
pretty funny and harmless
People can be honest.
Oh yes, nothing can beat watermarks over on the texture 
and theres also the casual pirates that got vpns and download torrents off of sketchy sites, usually either people who dont want to spend money or children who dont have money to spend
I was the latter when downloading Game Maker 7
With nanite you can sculpt your company name into every asset now. Thanks UNREAL!!!
nowadays im a college student and apparently i can get $600+ discounts on things and free licenses forever for adobe products without cracking so.. eh
I wish I was a college student again
I have to pay full price for everything now. 😦
BUT
the laptop manufacturer i buy from has huge student discounts and you can stack them with other discounts like sales and coupons
lenovo go brrr
the vast majority of people would pay 5 bucks for an Unreal rigged character they can bring into their preferred game that allows for that feature
I bought hard ops for blender today and it was a good price.
I did the cursed thing
(sort of - this distro is too old to install natively on modern hardware anyway)
Oh dear god what the hell is that?!
its hannah montana os (kubuntu)
at least with geometry watermarking you force the pirates to go into blender to flatten that piece of geometry , and then you hope they catch the bug and start creating on their own
Oh god the purple and pink. It’s like Rick James threw up everywhere.
also game modding is generally in this weird niche, as is with modding on basically every platform
Goodness me, I forgot ancient KDE 4 layout already...
companies tend to have this grey line of varying degrees of thickness between "healthy modding" and "malicious modding"
Malicious modding is like trying to defame the character by putting them in an unpleasant games.
discord and vrchat as good examples
like scaling the rig to 1000% ? or particle bombs
yea but some people consider even QoL or feature improvements as malicious modding
I am fully in support of game modding. Not only have the various communities proven they can bring amazing work to a game. But they have also diligently patched games that studios have not managed to. Oblivion, Skyrim, Cyberpunk, DoS, Mass Effect, all had unofficial community patches that made the games better.
Imagine putting a kid character into Hatred 🤮
I consider custom scripts as healthy modding.
I agree but there is also this balance between allowing modding and being overridden by exploiters
So long as there’s software - there will be people who wish to exploit it.
it really depends on the kind of platform also
Fact of life.
for example discord having basically all their api public for making bots
all that api works on users too so now theres user bots all over the place
People are curious creatures. They like to break stuff, take it apart, rebuild it. Some people are also assholes. So now you have a portion of us being curious and clever assholes who like causing problems. Very human. And very annoying.
To me, malicious modding is like modding in characters into cursed games.
you can also become paranoid and super conservative .... I mean look at Sansar / they locked that thing down way to tight and thus limited the creators from making anything fun
in any game that has a multiplayer experience, it also involves trolling, running malicious code, or harming/assaulting users within the experience
Or putting 2B in literally every game like people did when Nier first came out
Fortunately I'm making single player game, so I welcome script mods.
Hell there was a Sekiro mod to play as 2B
for example: videogame trainers, WeMod being a prime candidate as its full of free trainers with no malware
Then again there was a Sekiro mod to play as Shaggy and Carl Johnson from San Andreas
most of them work during online gameplay but their label is "dont use them in online play"
its fun to have infinite throwing knives, grenades, and money with your buddy to play around and have fun
but not fun to enable cheats during pvp matches
I would be flattered to have someone mod in some "Chaos Mod" into my game in the future.
Honestly I don’t even play online games anymore. I forgot those existed.
i only play online games cuz SP tends to bore me
having someone to play with makes the experience loads of fun
especially in co-op
I get bored of mmos fast and I’m too old and too salty to play CSGO or any moba.
The only online game I played in recent days are either Final Fantasy XIV, Fortnite, or CS GO (until Valve nerfed non-Prime users so hard and put me into cheating griefers)
i like playing racing and shooter games cuz theyre competetive and fun but theres also moments of sheer stupid like tf2 where everyones just dancing in the middle of the game world and its great
that's what the CEO of Epic concluded in one of his speeches / people want gaming to be a social experience. Of course that's not all people and of course that's optional
it depends on who youre playing with
Consider myself a less social person :3
but the option to play the same game regardless of platform with your friends should be available
typically if you have friends it is more of an enjoyable experience than with total strangers
and in a game like vrchat, social interaction is the name of the game
thats what vrchat is for to me
I mean, as much as I talk on typed text, I largely quiet in voice chats.
i can be whatever i want and go wherever i want and talk to loads of people
i use sign language when im in game also so its super fun
My problem is that I actually know Russian thanks to my parents so I’m fine with never playing agains or with Russian ragers again
i think it's brilliant to have that as an option and I am sure that no one can force anyone to do anything they don't want to do 🙂
yea cuz u can always block people, leave the lobby, or find niche communities with similar minded individuals
unless you're Facebook and you mob your way into people's lives with Quest 2
I just don't want my game to be associated with certain games in semi official capacity, without my consent.
If it's unofficial, then by all means, go nuts (even literally)
“While you enjoy this lobby with your closest friends, your recent post history tells us ANUSOL WOULD SUIT YOUR NEEDS” being blasted full volume in an open lobby would just be so damn great. Thanks FB!
unless youre a quest user whos 11 and just got vr and just screams constantly over the microphone while being obnoxious even though theyre below the ages of both an FB account and VRC/whatever account
The one thing that makes me cringe at VR chat rooms is the potential of there being pedos there who just wanna groom some kids. You never know who’s who.
i mean that happens in basically every social game and most social media
even in roblox
famously called Meep City™️ as Pedo Meadow and Roblox Highschool™️ as Minor Dating Simulator
Yeah I heard roblox had a bit of a pedodemic
Considering that more kids uses roblox than fortnite.
cuz fornite takes up disk space and its one game as opposed to thousands
the problem with VR chat is that people don't have anything else to do except for trolling
roblox games tend to run pretty well on low end hardware too
thats an overstatement
I’d imagine it’s a lot harder to groom a child in fortnite when your efforts are constantly being undermined by getting absolutely shit on kill-wise by your intended grooming target or everyone dabbing or whatnot.
In my times playing Fortnite, I hardly encounter kids speaking in my squad (and I'm just acting like a silent protagonist)
interactivity is super limmited
i am within several vrchat communities that are wholesome, accepting, and extremely friendly
plus when i go to public lobbies i get more positive reactions than negative ones
God I’m so happy my daughter hates games like that
Even less risky, is Final Fantasy XIV 
i dont speak ingame but even then theres randoms petting me and calling me a "good boy" instead of harassing me for being a furry
I want absolute freedom for the creator and host of the VR "room" or "space"
and i can mostly enjoy playing games with others in public lobbies
including adult content
Nah, I just want a virtual waifu on my side, speaking to me 🙂
adult content is technically allowed in vrchat as long as its kept in the hush-hush, aka private worlds, private avatars, not used in public worlds
I mean furries aren’t generally well liked afaik. I reckon it’s a win to just not hear anything bad for a change
I don't need those VR social mumbo jumbo, just a virtual waifu besides me in VR.
yea i should clip it sometimes, its nice for them to treat me like im cute dog instead of like im a degenerate filth
Which is why I'm willing to combat my disability with VR.
Tbf it’s an online world. Who cares what persona you take on.
Especially cause most people default to taking on the persona of an absolute c___ these days on social media.
sure but it doesnt mean there arent toxic assholes who try to crash your game or bully you because of your avatar
Screw VR socials, I need virtual assistant in VR 🥲
samsung assistant boob size setting
The Internet doesn't conform to you. You conform to Internet)))
And no, I won't touch Samsung.
or you can go to the parts of the internet that does the opposite
Can’t post an opinion without a battalion of neck beards riding in to yell at you for being wrong
for better or for worse
That’s how I’d do it
Achtualli it's a trilby

Just want a feminine formerly tomboy waifu in front of my VR vision 🥲
Akschyuly itsh a period piesh from The League of Ekshtraordinary Gshentelmen

i shouldnt send an image of a cute femboy or else 500 people will come knocking down my door and tell me to delete whatever furry trash i send here even if its wholesome
My main waifu is Makoto Kikuchi not without a reason.
hers's my little creation 🙂
To this day I don’t get how people can do eyeliner. I let my daughter try and put eyeliner on me once and she couldn’t even touch my eye. Anything sharp gets even close to my eyeball and I just flinch. I can’t control it. How people managed to near-stab their ocular spheres is beyond me.
one of mine
Cursed ngl
its just a feline femboy
Right on that note I’m off to catch some z’s
mine is just emissive 🙂
Cya dudes
Cool
I am gonna start moving my assets to Unreal this year and start developing something with them / it will have to be a multiplayer product
people who put on contacts too, u just get used to it
ima stay on roblox for the most part and come back to hard UE development once UE5 starts getting some bugs fixed and crashes deleted; its in early access after all
theres some personal/private animations ive made with blender that i wanna turn into cinematic videogames
but film quality assets go brr
I love UE5 so far / and Nanite is awesome - and Lumen
i agree but the editor is giving me god awful performance and i crash frequently
I have been using photogametry tools for a few years now
Mmmm new UI
Nala Ishikawa, main protagonist of my single player RPG, PAST FUTURE.
Base model is assembled with VRoid, but outfits are custom made.
mine just has an aardvark as the player character in the co-op adventure game
racing game is standard racing game so.. cars
I have yet to actually fix her rig to be ALS compliant 
Rigging is like a black magic
all i have to show for it is OOOLD concept art sketches
🙂
cuz im busy modelling the environment and townspeople
and i hate modelling this stuff it takes so long
My game is single player, so original character matters.
I also had my own world building, and there's a reason why her outfit is rather modern, despite the game is set in fantasy world.
(clue: see the project name in the title bar's directory)
mine is co-op adventure game, trying to copy banjo kazooie style because i love that game so much
I use 3d coat to paint and UV
you can play alone and control both characters though
How long have you been working on the whole game @quasi mantle ?
i use substance painter for my clothes
i also found this super old game concept from when i was younger that i want to turn into a shooter game
From conceptual phase, around 2018, all by myself.
this one should be a lot easier since the game characters are literally primatives
but i want to finish my adventure game and racing game first
Impressive. I can't get much higher than prototype quality atm lol.
Annisa Scarlett, the secondary protagonist.
She's the native character, meant as the second playable character.
(also I kinda put some boob size jokes with both characters
)
since i cant use magic car script like Chaos Vehicles its all manual labor programming
playing with deformation
ik its basic but its not very easy to do in this engine
I mean you can add sockets on the rig and have multiple levels of crumple on your final mesh
yea but i cant manually deform these objects, theyre actually rigged
so what im deforming is by moving bones
making lots of progress though on assets
have a friend who makes car models/assets for a living and hes donating one for expirementation
yes it would be cool to have 2 versions of the same car
This is one of the time I'm injecting anime trope joke into the design.
Nala is around 4 years younger than Annisa.
one brand new and one completely wrecked
im trying to do something like burnout paradise or wreckfest or flatout where the car has a frame and it has its parts
and you can go back and forth in between the two with a mask
yep .... loose a headlight --- etc
that and if you smash the front side of the car you can bust the wheel, dent the chassis, and demolish basically the whole corner
but its difficult to do when youre the one that has to program all of that
but not impossible, its not like these games dont run on their own engines where these features didnt exist
so at least somebody was in charge of programming it, but usually its also multiple professionals when im just a singular game developer
I'm mostly focused on assets for developers / however I do have a vision for a pvp multiplayer / VR/FPS/3rd person
It wasn't Epic standard per se, because VRoid rig lacks twist bones, and I had to add them myself.
i just have a script to do that for me
At least it has 4 spine bones (pelvis included) unlike MMD standard, which I despise so much.
Script stuff won't dice.
mine just blends the weight across the old bone and the twist bone automatically
it was annoying to write but python go brr
Though I'm solving it on my own with some modifier tricks and Auto Rig Pro.
The problem is compensating additional bones, like the breasts and the hair
This is how it goes right now
why u made the root bone so big
i use my own jiggle physics scripts usually
more predictable, easier to optimize
Nah, I simulate the physics with Kawaii Physics addon in UE4.
(which is deeply integrated in my modified UE4)
Tpose is so oldscool
if i were to send my blender model i would have to hide all the bad junk but im lazy

😛
old concept stuff
first one was really just me testing vr support
second one is anti-exploit
Easier to set up than Anim Dynamics 👌
nah cant be more easy than anim dynamics
No joke, it's way easier to set up than Anim Dynamics.
It's as simple as choosing a bone and adjust the parameters and the collision bodies.

i know my physics 😛
also light physics go brr
Why bake them when you can simulate them in real time.
(except (un)dressing scenes)
It's rated M 17+ for Mature alright.
i dont need extreme booba
just booba
i have simulated jiggles too but theyre carefully optimized and solved in multiple threads
you can bake all physics
Control Rig can bake physics, but I always disable them when baking animations from Sequencer.
take recorder can also bake physics
i just dont do it cuz its more reactive, especially if i have collisions with the body enabled
although i have tried it with animations before too
less effort though to not use them
booba eat up miniscule fraction of cpu time since i got more important stuff going on like gameplay loop and modules
hahaha bewbs go jiggly jiggly
one thing im trying to do also is make accurate vehicle suspension
but in video games that is so difficult
because physics constraint systems broken as shit sometimes
or dont function at all like irl
ik its a lot easier to just use a vertical piece of suspension with no contraptions like wishbone or one big axel but simulated suspension is so good
Will it blend?
That's the question.
now I have to make some cookies in blender.
or doughnuts
already made my donut.
looks a little undercooked
so Unity have now default humanoid too as Unreal have it for a while

compare that to manny
They used to have this mohawk dude.
But then they realized it was cultural appropriation
Then wonder why robots will take their revenge years later.
I'm wondering if we'll be fucked before or when we manage to create an AGI
Probably before, since I don't think that we've managed to create a beard trimmer that doesn't randomly miss hairs yet...so I don't really have much hope for future technology
AGI?

Perhaps a sentient ointelligence. Especially a sapient one.
Might be Artificially Generated Intelligence aka GAI
I think I forgot myself again
I could google this, but I'm an asshole. Has anyone built any kind of terminal emulator type thing in unreal?
Forgot the entire structure of that query.
There's one in the marketplace, I think.
And ... that was the last of my rum
Hey I managed to buy a bike this night 💁🏻♂️
Managed? Is that normally hard to do?
The sector will be collapsed until mid 2022 mid so lol
Is even worst than the gpus
.. where the hell am I?
Is out of stock since like when the COVID started
As it raise like a 400%
And there still no bikes to supply
So yesterday purchased one that isnt as good as I wanted but is close
Granted, my perspective will be a bit skewed since it's not a particularly valid method of transport in most places here.
Got it in a second hand web, but it's basically as these cars that were never used and they do a discount
lol, makes sense.
But technically the base price + ship price + paypal extta 3 base cost me about the same pf the new one before the crysis
Extta 3 percent of base price*
Even when I was physically capable of biking, it would have taken ages to get anywhere
Spotted worst bikes for 200€ more so...
Also hilariously unsafe
Yeah it does but 🙈
Fact it's I was on but 4 days in row because had pain in my spine and wasnt able to move at all just for a bad day walking
So I get myself a bike expecting to get a better 16 days with something broken 💁🏻♂️🤣
"Back pain" as in when you crouch and you get that sudden knife cutting feeling?
Kinda, they built lanes and roads for it so...
Yeah even worst
I'd have to do over 16k round trip to bike to a grocery store
Wasn't able to even stand up as the torso weight were too much for the bottom of the spine
Not sure how it is named in English, we call it something similar to a "cut", say spine cut.
Heard recently that it is in fact recommended not to stay put too much. Moving is better.
"stabbing" is probably what you're looking for there
Well wasn't a cut at all 🤔
Kinda a muscle nod or whatever
This is close to our term, but yea
My boss once told me he screwed himself when tried to wipe his ass.
You never know when this shit will hit.
Accurately describing pain is incredibly difficult
Anyway let's see if we are able to get a gpu soon
No.
Even scaling it on a 1 to 10 doesn't make any sense if you don't have any useful comparative boundaries
It will get worse, don't worry.
All you need to do is make the next Dwarf Fortress and GPUs won't matter at all
^
Then you just need to figure out how to get someone to play Dwarf Fortress
onlyf...onlyfans?
Some ppl still play low-graphics games.
XD
Yeah don't think that goes further
It wasn't a comment about the graphics... it's more... I tried to play Dwarf Fortress... and I had no idea what the hell was going on in that thing
XD
Some people like reading randomly generated text descriptions of things that didn't happen. Not me.
I haven't played it, nor I know much about it, but I still don't know wth is going on.
Anyway, rogue-like are niche.
Part of it strikes me as this really complex World War ... I don't remember if it was one or two... but a board game... And it has all these crazy logistics... and stuff like how the Italians have to have more water because of cooking pasta
It's not a rogue-like, though it does have an adventure mode.
Just so much shit going on... and then it isn't helped by the limited representation of things
oh, really, thought it is ascii based
it is
Rogue-like refers to a try, die, try again style of RPG.
But that doesn't have anything to do with the gameplay part
FTL is a rogue-like.
If you really want to piss off someone being super pedantic, do what I do and say "rogue-lite" is a stupid term and I'm not going to use it because it's meaningless anyway
Because, depending on who you ask, the only difference between a rogue-like and rogue-lite is whether or not it's a full reset when you die
And that's a stupid distinction
lol
I've seen the argument where it's only "rogue-like" if it's "like rogue" meaning that and turn-based and a bunch of other random shit
Now that you mention it, I'm puzzled at what games are rogue-lites and what aren't.
Exactly.
Also, the very part where it's "rogue-lite" makes me think of a shitty light beer
And Rogue doesn't make light beer
I thought it was because you could finish them in under two hours.
Then again, you can probably finish rogue in under two hours if you know what you're doing and have brilliant luck.
Nope. It's supposed to be stuff like having any kind of permanent upgrades... like any kind of run to run progression
Rogue Legacy would be a "rogue-lite"
If you want to get off into the weeds real quick... you can ask something like "Which is FTL? Because you do unlock other ships and starting layouts"
wtf is ftl
It's an initialism for "Faster Than Light" which is also the name of a video game
Which, unsurprisingly, takes place in space
It's used in a lot of sci-fi that isn't Star Wars or Star Trek
'Cause they "wrapwarp" instead?
hyperspace for Star Wars, warp speed (with warp factors!) for Star Trek
Still unclear on how fast "Warp Factor: Dick" is though
Which is a term used in a Regular Car Reviews of the Focus RS
or maybe it wasn't the RS
who knows
🤔
I wonder what happened in Porvoo
Finns burned russians instead of russians finns like IRL?
it's spelled "pour vous" and it's french 😠
wat
you know, that time homer repaired marge's dress with a corsage because she was almost raped by her prom date
No.
wat
Glad we cleared that up!
Years later ... "The Focus RS is a wooden bleacher seat crashing through your neighborhood at Warp Factor: Dick. The Focus RS is too fast for the real world, even though it has all-wheel drive." So ... still no clue how fast that is.
Off-topic but since there's many devs in here I'll try: We have a command line tool at work that spits out text to a command prompt... I want to take that text and do some string replacements on it before it gets displayed... how do I do that in Windows 10 without requiring each user to install something?
sounds like you need to do some powershell/bat scripting
bat scripting is that powerful these days? last time I looked at it must have been around 1990 and it couldn't do anything back then 😄
replacing a piece of string with another string is pretty basic, I'm really surprised if it didn't do such things in 1990 😄
sure, but in a long multi-line output? I remember learning how to "pipe" that in Linux through regexp and then looking at DOS and there was just nothing similar
Huh... why would something built into Windows tell me to go and try something "cross platform"? 😄
it does run on mac and linux too so it is cross platform
previous powershell versions only ran on windows
anyway, I have no experience with windows scripting so I can't really help you :\
Why wouldn't you do it with powershell?
Also, I'm a little confused.. you have a tool already... so.. isn't that tool installed somewhere?
Sure, I'll look into powershell, thanks! I was just asking since I haven't done anything like this in 30 years 😄
yeah, I was going to guess Linux 😄
pretty sure microsoft has a version of bash these days, with it's "windows compatibility layer for linux" or whatever they call it
personally i like zsh as an interactive shell
not sure if i want to script with it 🙃
i got into the habit of making sure my shell scripts were as portable as possible
these days i usually want them working on both gnu/linux and osx
powershell is a proper shell scripting environment... WSL isn't automatically installed and is basically a container... so that's neither viable or a good solution for the problem as presented
osx doesn't have realpath and it's frustrating
no, powershell isn't a proper shell scripter. it's a wrapper around .net objects
i won't deny it has some very useful features, and that it really does try to be user-friendly for shell users, but it absolutely does not behave like a shell
@lucid walrus is this existing tool just dumping text out to some networked drive? Or is said tool installed on client machines already?
Right now, we use a .bat file to see a text output on screen and it just contains "%cd%\lmutil.exe" lmstat -c 28000@eg-svc03 -A pause
surround it with three graves
got it in two 😉
single ones do inline... three does the block... and you can specify a language for syntax highlighting if you know what the name of the language is listed in in... whatever the hell syntax highlight package they use
It probably won't be, which is why I already went and found the hilarious workaround for it because I've used it
ok... I'm all ears 😄
It has to run from cmd, so you can put that part in a batch file, which is what I did. powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\whateverScriptFile.ps1
So, yeah, it won't let you run it from powershell directly.. but it has no problem letting you start powershell from cmd while setting the execution policy for that powershell instance
The odd thing is that it's arguably better to set the security policy for an instance rather than on the machine as a whole anyway
I used it to create a simple tool to manage keeping config settings for people when distributing updated mod packages for my Valheim server
ok, now for the trusty old "search for existing solutions to my problem in the language I don't understand and then cut and paste and try shit until it works"! 😅
Pretty much. Powershell is a little weird
Though at least it doesn't use that dogshit if/fi that shell scripts do
any logo that stimulates depth perception is forbidden I guess...
oop 2 ts
but anyway, sTimulates depth perception
i mean, it's not wrong, it's just probably not the word you wanted 🙃
do you think RE village will be on sale soon? Like for the steam summer sale next week? Thank you
regex village
Make fun all you like, but if I was trying to mask having done the bare minimum, I’d also do a UI refresh
ok I guess I have to buy it sooner, I just need to actually feel how their one mesh FP character feels on gameplay and to get inspiration for my game. Thanks
demo is unavailable already
Maybe is just like the last one
Alright then. Gives impression of depth
Dunno what you were going on about to be honest. But anyway
i thought you meant "simulate"
Flat is justice they say, so and the new interface.
no hard feelings, it's not like you stimulated roblox
Some people from this server went out their way attempting to call me. Like, what the freak, where's the bloody manner?
gross
hoodie guy pls help me figure this trivial ue4 thing out or soemthing
Is there no way to disable random callers?
have you tried a baseball bat?
Does this not affect it?
^
Doesn't stop me from getting DMs 🤔
Censored the name and avatar, but holy shit I'm so frustrated to found this.
murder is the only option
Surely disabling DMs also disables calls right?
School project lol
Imagine using unreal only for school
huh. guardians of the galaxy game made by square enix
i guess that's an ok pairing
i mean, square has always wanted to only make movies and not games
UE is entry level for the real Roblox
He probably circumventing it by DMing me by username.
You mean I can’t ring you day and night to pester you? Ffs why do I even try
lol as if EA appreciates players, or the other way around
But they don’t stop talking during all the gameplay. Literally yapping all the time.
I don’t think I can take it
Seems like the goal is to become Roblox (in Fortnite's case)
And I really wanna play it
yah that sounds like a square game alright
baaa is a sale isn't a bundle xd
IM HERE TO KILL CHAOS
yup
Someone on the net told me EA = Evil Associates
The FF origins guy hates Chaos but loves Physx
THE FUCK ARE YOU DOWNLOADING, EGS?
Chaos escaped, ended up obliterating a tall building.
I wished that my account is getting the bio feature, so I can put a bold word about not accepting private assistance.
Isn't it in the beta?
I don't have the access to it

the moment I found out why ASMR is trending
Your what?
not sure if can post it here
well technically is SFW
but idk
is related with Twitch ASMR you know
a lady with a horse head
other one farting at the mic because get paid 700$ per fart
I should start to monetice my farts
I would too, but chemical weapons are illegal
are posted at twitter
Do you think the insane prices of the geforce 3xxx series is temporary? Or will it be the norm of the current and the future series due to scalpers and crypto stuff?
Prices are coming down in europe at last! Theyll always be higher from now on I think, but not as crazy as now
oh are they, let's check
where are they going down? 😛
sincerely: still waiting for my 3080 I ordered back in december
like what's the difference between an MSI Ventus and an MSI Gaming X Trio?
don't get MSI
the Ventus is 2149.90 eur, and the Gaming X Trio is 3049.90 eur
I got MSI
Yeah I'm not getting anything atm I'm just wondering about the prices :D
I'd get an Asus ROG STRIX probably if I was buying, but those things are also 3k so no thanks lol
verkkokauppa got five VENTUS 3X 10G OC models... in motherfucking february
that's the last delivery according to them
so these are now priced around what I paid for my 1080 Ti when it was new :P
also with Asus, the TUF and STRIX price difference is 1000 eur for the 3090's
and as far as I can tell, the TUF just has no LEDs and has a 750w PSU recommendation instead of 850w?
maybe the other one is overclocked
not according to the spec sheet
3080 and 3070 ti are at least 5-10% lower here
Saw a 3060 12gb for 650 Euro, crazy low haha
looking to build two systems, one for me and one for my dad, looking at the 3060 range, about $600cdn
a 3060 for almost 700€ thats crazy low ?
wasn't the serie 60 about 400€?
Yeah, cheapest was like 1000 Euro for months
On every store here
Still waiting for a 3080 ti. 1900 euro, if it goes down to about 1600 id get it asap
Weren't those getting reviewed kinda poorly
Not sure why I didn't check any of them, but that's what I heard anyway
I was awake this night at 3:30 am to buy a bike like hidden at the night for the prey
Maybe they sell the GPUs secretly at nights too
🧐
I think ive read theyre too expensive for the performance, but compared to 3500 Euros for a 3090 here....makes it a no brainer to get one
Right
Also i think 12gb is the sweet spot now...half life alyx fills up 8gb already
No idea
Also the market is so whack here, 3080 s are more expensive than the 3080 Ti s, supposedly because the Ti has the hashrate limiter
3080 Ti is 2k eur and non-Ti is 1k eur here atm
yah but have you considered the radeon rtx6990xti super?
I had AMD cards for a long time and they were nothing but trouble
and I've heard similar stories from people owning more recent AMD cards as well
but the radeon rtx6990xti is an intel card
actually i suppose it should be the rtXe6990xti
the fuck does this mean, game?
Me too, on dcc software, constant issues
Yeah, I had all kinds of bizarre problems with just having a multimonitor setup
like the cursor would randomly just start flickering as some random piece of graphics from somewhere else on the screen
and this was not a fault with the GPU I had, the problem persisted across multiple series of AMD cards and many different sets of drivers :D
if someone gave me an amd card between 6700xt and 6900xt, i wouldn't complain. their rasterisation performance is very close to nvidia this generation
😔
Yeah I mean if someone gave me one, sure
but i would prefer an nvidia, cos if i gonna get a raytracing card, i want a good one 🙃
But I'm not buying one lol
doesn't matter for me cos i can't afford any upgrades at all
technically I cant either (unemployed), but its my bday soon, and its to the point now where I cant run new games, cause I'm stuck on win7
----------_______________---------------------
in soviet roblox, rubles make you!
Don't make me ask for the suicide bow again
I don't want to be awake but I couldn't fall asleep
I guess as long as I'm up, I should put on pants so my legs aren't cold.
ok this week's free game is good fun
hell is other demons
mindless bullethell
but with just enough telegraphing to make it mildly strategic
Oh nice, looks pretty sweet. Overcooked 2 will be fun to play with my friends too

Yo I need some input on what would be the best/expected functionality in my main menu
start the game, exit the game
Oh nice. I'm done then.
lol, you don't need "exit" you just alt+f4
lol you don't need alt+f4 functionality when you've gotta a power button on the chassis dummy
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Actually I don't need input I think I know the answer to my question
df happened to you
Don't get hyped, don't ever get hyped
What Painkiller? Is it safe?
The games industry always finds a way to f things up
In Eve:Online "alt + f4" bind for control the modules of your ship
Really? Sounds stupid to provide as default system-wide binds.
What about ctrl+alt+del
Yes.But "alt + f4" doesn't work like exit app))
One day I playing with my friend in Eve Online and he told me "press alt+f4 for activates your modules"))
yo, you, what game you saw?
Painkiller sequel being announced
Ah... That kinda wolfenstein/doom stuff?
Considering how dogshit anything other than the original Painkiller has been
... trailing off ...
I liked it a lot more than I did the Doom reboot
As in, Doom 3?
uh... Doom Reboot 2?
Yes. Well, I have no opinion on Eternal because I never bothered to play it
It seems to have more mechanics than 2016
Also the mechanics of 2016 are somewhat closer to Unreal than Quake
It's just different games
This ZFS migration may ... take a few
One of the biggest things that I missed from Painkiller were the two binds for "fire the highest weapon in this list that you have and have ammo for"
The lack of any equip/unequip animations really makes it work
Being able to run around with the shotgun/freezer equipped and hit a button to launch a rocket or another button to lob a giant stake across the universe was fantastic
I remember that Doom had weapon upgrade stuff... but I'm pretty sure I can't tell you what any of them were other than the plasma rifle did something when it overheated
Doom Eternal did a bit better with the upgrades, at least some of them were useful to swap sometimes
but definitely some felt like an obviously better choice majority of the time (eg. grenade launcher on shotty instead of the fast firing mode)
There will be a new Painkiller soon enough
That's what brought it up; the part where any of the followups were garbage
People say that about all entertainment
apparently the 1930s King Kong is the best ever
im not sure how i should make my game First Person Or Third Person its multiplayer
@pearl elk that last kong movie was pretty terrible 😛
kong vs some robot godzilla... really?
Godzilla Vs Kong would u count that?
yea
ur opinion on my question
FPS MMO
its a survival game
It's fine, add loot boxes
so first person ??
First person if you're going for immersion, third if you want it to be liked by casuals
... or Second person, nowadays nobody makes such games.
also C++ or BP
luamua
I'd play a second person survival game
^
Use whatever you're best at. Most things can be done in BP
ok
I love BP but I find that it's hard to get back into an old BP project that I've abandoned
will i be able to convert it after?
Just to summarize, second person survival VR MMO written in luamua
Im sure there are bigger questions than what camera to use
Second person games make my brain hurt
Yep, you can always turn BP into CPP
Also do yourself a favor and get the BP Assist plugin
ok
Clearly you have never written a game.
With that plugin, you can just press F in the BP editor and it will clean things up and make it super neat
Devils in the details
F to pay respect
oh cool a picture of it??
shame pressing F wont fix bad code
You need to press it thrice.
fff
nope just checked github, didnt work 😛
Everyone knows that beautiful code = good code
its £17
its the same with people right
Definitely.
i am learning C++ but yea
this is taking ages to download idk if it will even import
It's just like passing options for verbosity
