Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if Spore used voxel for their character creator?

It's the internet I'm sure it could be dug out haha. But I was asking out of curiosity, I know how they did their planets and such, couldn't remember about how the actual creatures were created

flint oasis

Thanks, always fun to read more about this

#

spore is such a depressing game in some ways

#

one of many that bit off more than it can chew

#

honestly the most depressing thing is that after all its issues it's still available for purchase πŸ™ƒ

#

simlife was far superior to spore

broken sigil

I liked Spore, I played the crap out of it
The furthest I've got is when you start colonizing the solar system, no clue if there is anything else beyond that

conspiracy: matt aspland and ryan laley are the same person

@regal pecan Darkspore was amazing, I loved it

Maybe #industry-chat is the better fit for this.
But isn't Epic a private company, and not a publicly trading one?
Also the studio you're referring to might be Sumo Digital.

phantasy star online 2 has a remake or something now

the question is, does it have the best feature of the original, which is that it could be used to run arbitrary code on the system it ran on?

I recall there was this Japanese arcade game, of which the gameplay is you flipping the table in rage.

I didn't watch the video but at least based on the clips of it in the start it reminds me of those physics simulations where you get points for damage

#

So far I'm picking up good speed in learning C++

#

I won't be able to do UE4 CPP overnight it will take time

#

But it is worth every second I spend doing it and it is very rewarding

#

Should have done that but wasted so much time on studying audio engineering.

#

the last few months

#

Blueprints is a visual representation of C++ in my opinion, but it has its own particular problems that differ a lot from C++. I just hope that my blueprints skills improves more after I do C++.

mossy nexus
#

They should, the basics are very similar. πŸ™‚

cursive crypt
#

Learning ue cpp nowadays sounds like a children song. On the other hand, I have to debug a 30y old cross compiled client connected under a vm to some badly written hardware simulator. I just wanna extrude verts instead T.T

subtle hatch
#

what do you mean ?

#

by children song

#

Are you saying like it is simple and not a big deal. Others has told me learning cpp is harder then other coding languages.

cursive crypt
#

... everyone has his own relative obstacles to overcome, you are fine, don't worry.

subtle hatch
#

Sometimes i just feel like I'm making a name for myself around here and I don't really mean it.

#

I just wanna be able to properly engage with the conversations and go with the flow with everyone else here.

subtle hatch
#

Also theres a problem that most of c++ tutorials get outdated, and then some things don't work when you follow the tutorial, need to include additional stuff for example.

#

This doesn't have to be unreal engine related but what was your first programming language you learn't ?

#

Java , python , C# or C , C++ or lua

foggy path
#

Are those the only options? lol

#

because I learned MS-DOS batch scripting first

#

:P

subtle hatch
foggy path
#

then C very poorly lol

subtle hatch
#

Visual Basic ?

unborn lotus
foggy path
#

I had VB6 in school

#

but the teacher was like "you know more about programming than I do so you don't have to attend"

#

lol

subtle hatch
#

I currently still go to school

#

and they just have scratch

#

No programming

subtle hatch
unborn lotus
# foggy path I had VB6 in school

Yeah that one too. Then science highschool 4 years of cpp, with the first 1 just writing code on a blackboard πŸ˜› low budget schools

foggy path
#

sort of high school level'ish I guess, we don't really have a direct equivalent of it here

subtle hatch
#

My high school needs to start teaching actual programming

#

and I might be advocating for that to my school principal. I remember asking her once and she said she'll look into it.

#

I could say anything and she'd still give me that same answer

#

Even the head teacher of everything IT agrees with me

foggy path
#

At least here it would be quite difficult for schools to just decide to teach something they aren't doing atm because the curriculums and such come from higher up and they can't stray from them too much

#

I guess they could probably offer electives outside of the constraints of the degree, but they might not be able to count it as studies towards the degree

#

they actually brought programming into the curriculum for elementary schools here

#

that was way past my time in elementary school so I don't really know of the details of it though :D

subtle hatch
#

which lang ?

foggy path
#

I think they are using Python

subtle hatch
#

Nice

foggy path
#

But I don't know if the language is specified in the curriculum so it might vary by school I guess

subtle hatch
#

Is C++ seen difficult to you to learn as first time lang ?

#

for me I'm like bring it on

#

I'm all up for the challenge

#

But yeah some of those stuff should be taught in every high school and one of my personal friend is a school captain so he might be able to do more about then I can. He's also into tech stuff.

#

Next time I bring that up I'm gonna go for the deputy principal not gonna waste time with the principal.

#

C is like for older machines

#

you don't do C++ ?

#

I just wanna be able to make my own games and actually be more out there in the community contributing to projects.

#

better then sitting around expecting others too

#

Do the game industry do paid internship ?

#

I am willing to travel

mossy nexus
#

In one way you have an advantage over us older people @subtle hatch . Younger brains are more adept at learning new things πŸ™‚ I'm 100% certain that in a few months time you'll have a very good understanding of the way things flow in Unreal, and in the community.

subtle hatch
#

Yea they young people are able to be fast learners

#

But then not much older people around here would be keen in talking to a kid

mossy nexus
#

Depending on where you live there might be irl Unreal community groups that help each other too which might be an option for you, help you expand your circle of knowledge etc

subtle hatch
#

I wanted to talk to self taught programmer on DMs who is a moderator here about how they learn things but got ignored.

mossy nexus
#

You call yourself a kid, may I ask how old you are?

#

Ah yeah DMs are generally not the best way, as they have been abused by others who see them as a direct line to get help. It's not personal, it's a result of having people do that far far too much.

subtle hatch
#

17

#

But yeah I just overall lack credibility in this community to be honest and I want to lift it up.

mossy nexus
#

Teaching yourself is tough, depending how you learn. By that I mean some people learn by doing, repeating tasks others can learn by reading/watching tutorials etc. Setting yourself some basic, easy to achieve goals is key imo. If the tutorials are out of date that just means you have a learning opportunity to find out what has changed in the engine and implement a fix. I tend to watch a load of different tutorials from different channels and blend together the different approaches to problems in a style that suits me.

#

Don't worry about credibility, it's admirable that you are concerned about that however!

subtle hatch
#

I did blueprint here and there. Once I code C++ in general then I move towards UE C++

mossy nexus
#

being able to laugh at yourself is probably the best advice to alleviate concern about that though. Most of us [especially in lounge] like to laugh at ourselves and each other. We'll take the piss out of each other but it's never [well.. mostly never] meant in an offensive way.

subtle hatch
#

Long time ago the way I spoken to people around here was just wrong. I acted like people owed me stuff and was just wrong.

mossy nexus
#

I've yet to dive into cpp, I know I should because there are several things that can only be done in cpp. I'll get there eventually but until then blueprints suit me fine. I know of several people making games purely in BP.

subtle hatch
#

Also the advantage of my age is with my job. I got no expenses so I can use it entirely on my project.

#

But I won't be sheltered forever

#

So gonna have to take advantage of this time period

#

I do know another person who runs a entire game project but in unity and from another game dev community

#

He like spends his entire pay check on a project he runs for like the last three years.

mossy nexus
#

People here are very forgiving, we know people from all walks of life come here to learn, all ages etc. Everyone is different and believe me when I say you may think you had a bad start but really that's not the case... some people... πŸ˜„ well... you'll encounter them soon enough I guess... muppets will be muppets

foggy path
#

where's JohnOfTurbulence

#

shh

#

we don't not speak that name

#

it's like beatlejuice

subtle hatch
#

But he's getting like full adult week wages. Doesn't even do anything directly for his project.

foggy path
#

I probably have enough savings that I could sit on my ass and work on my game for a year or two

#

But it's like yeah do I really wanna spend my savings on a long shot which might not even make me much money

#

lol

mossy nexus
#

There is only one thing that really annoys people in this server [and other places probably] is that if the answer can be found by googling or experimenting with nodes/code etc yourself. If you've done that and you feel like your bashing your head on the wall, people will be happy to help if they can.

foggy path
#

yeah google first ask later is considered to be the etiquette in all help communities I think

mossy nexus
#

I generally don't ask for solutions, mainly to be pointed in the right direction. Tend to get more help that way and it doesn't take up much others time

#

I remember my first couple of weeks here, just reading channels.. didn't understand a word of it... interfaces .. line traces ... widgets.. an alien language. πŸ˜„ I reckon I know enough about Unreal now to at least bluff a conversation πŸ˜„ πŸ˜„

subtle hatch

well interfaces is when you get a few peoples faces and mash them together isn't it?

#

and line traces are something the DEA look into

Problem is indie games always gets listed quiet in the playstation and xbox stores.

foggy path
#

I don't think I'd even build for consoles because it's not the type of game that would play well on those I think :D

#

I guess in theory if it's easy to port but frankly I have no clue

#

it's probably an idea that doesn't have a lot of exact copies of it, but I think it's also a very niche game concept

subtle hatch
#

You might not make much money because you need exposure.

subtle hatch

I'm joking

foggy path
#

yeah I gathered lol

subtle hatch
#

Although TV ads isn't really expensive as they used to be

#

they are moving more towards youtube and social media

foggy path
#

I guess that depends on what channel and what time you're airing them

subtle hatch
#

not much people watches TV

#

I'd say Facebook would be easy and useful and actually cheap

#

but only if you are trying to get your message across to a local audience

foggy path
#

at least for my project, attempting to get suitable gaming influencers to play it would probably work

subtle hatch
#

I'd say the best way to start is to make it a moblie app

foggy path
#

it's the kinda game that you see it and there's funny stuff that can happen so it could at least in theory work if someone popular enough played it lol

subtle hatch
#

indie moblie apps just works better for small time game devs

#

then people will pester you to make it into a PC game

foggy path
#

probably, I personally just don't play mobile games at all so I have zero interest in making one as well :D

subtle hatch
#

Then you give them what they want

#

The PC port would get more download/purchase then it would have without the moblie release.

#

idk that's up to you I guess

Idea for a game beyond my coding ability: Nightmare Maker

#

It'd be like Mario Maker, but 3D and you could create different nightmare scenarios for people to play

#

You have to survive long enough without getting killed and reach the end with an alarm clock to wake yourself up

carmine frigate
#

ppl dont like alarm clocks, that seems like a bad goal

#

why not save a princess?

zinc matrix
#

But since WB games probably wouldn't be interested, you'd have to use a knock off of him

zinc matrix
#

Different nightmare stages could be Hell, a boiler room, an abandoned factory, a warehouse, a meat locker, etc

carmine frigate

i dont ever dream of those

You're getting something that nigh emulates realtime raytracing

On the bright side, you can switch lumen off and on with a console command

Expect it to target that hardware

Low speccers deserve justice, and I'm all out for that justice.
Thus my decision of sticking with UE4.

humble remnant
#

UE5 runs on a Radeon HD 6790, just without the new features

quasi mantle
#

UE4 is much easier to adjust for low spec hardware than UE5 (at least to my findings)

humble remnant

Also UE5 is literally bleeding edge tech

Be glad the engine still supports 10 year old hardware

#

You don't need the latest features either

zinc matrix
#

If a game can't run well on low spec then you've just missed out on a huge playerbase

humble remnant
#

You can make your game support those features for years ahead

#

But also keep a version that doesn't require them

It should have been kept in a vault, shuttered forever until everyone could play it on their graphing calculators. It would have been the right thing to do.

#

Eventually, you'll run out of resources

Hopefully in the future the average hardware catches up to game development

If the game looks the same on mid or high end hardware, what's the point in high end hardware

light spruce
#

I suddenly wonder what the overhead was like on that terrifying automated drone factory setup I saw.

humble remnant
#

Also high end hardware is kind of like an objective to reach for when the game is properly released

#

As in

#

If it runs on high end hardware now, it's safe to assume in a couple years time it'll be more mainstream

Especially when devs target performance offered by PS5/XBSX

pearl elk
#

nah it works, turbo is on the engine waste side, it aint a supercharger

light spruce
#

Mechanical issues aside for a second...

pearl elk
#

hey Im no genius, these guys are though πŸ˜›

#

turbos are very efficient but they wastegate alot of potential energy

light spruce
#

Okay, from what I can tell.. this is a bit of a different thing than what I thought you were talking about

#

But it is also a mechanical nightmare

pearl elk
#

thats why we get experts to do the heavy lifting, all I do is put the pssht pssht spoolyboi in my brrm brrm

light spruce
#

It's really more that instead of venting any excess pressure, it's using that for electric power... rather than just using exhaust gasses to both spin the turbine and charge a system... which is what wouldn't really work.

pearl elk
#

well turbo cars arnt always on boost, so it just uses the down time and waste effectively

foggy path
#

turbo cars should always be on boost, hence anti-lag systems!

pearl elk
#

but the benefit here is electric cars which put all their gearing into fast take off tend to suffer super bad in the top end, really fast 0-100 but people drive faster than 100

#

you dont boost past a certain pressure duder

#

engine go boom

light spruce
#

Yeah... I mean.. if you're pulling a vacuum, that's not going to do shit to help that whole thing

pearl elk
#

but turbos are great at turning exhaust into usable energy, they are more fuel efficient than NA engines for that reason

#

so they just use the left over potential and put it through the electrical system

light spruce
#

The point is that if you don't have positive pressure, you aren't spinning the turbine up

#

Hence the "should always be on boost"

pearl elk
#

yeah but you cant just keep throwing pressure at it, the turbo always wants to go more but the engine cant handle it

light spruce
#

That wasn't in dispute at all

pearl elk
#

yeah picking holes in my statements after the fact aint gonna change the fact Garrett made awesome turbo

light spruce
#

If you're sitting at ten pounds of boost, that's still still 10 PSI in the system. Positive pressure.

pearl elk
#

yeah and as soon as you lift the accelerator wheres that boost go, so sure you can hold down the pedal if you got a death wish

foggy path
#

What do you mean you don't want it to be on boost

pearl elk
#

you know, when you brake

foggy path
#

Who doesn't want their exhaust spitting flames and car sounding like a gun when off accelerator, while decreasing engine lifetime

#

:D

pearl elk
#

lol

light spruce
#

I... know how a turbo works

pearl elk
#

have you heard of a diesel runaway when the engine gets so hot the glow plugs keep igniting, sounds like a fun ride... not πŸ˜›

light spruce
#

You normally would either vent excess pressure to atmo or put it into a recirculating system... and, instead of doing that, the fancy electric thing runs it through that

pearl elk
#

cant believe the Mach-E regenerative braking was causing the battery to overheat

light spruce
#

I can!

pearl elk
#

thats one thing you cant really do in an ICE yet, but these sorts of systems might make it possible to reuse pressure build up

#

then you get a car with an amazing range but also pretty eco friendly

light spruce
#

Obviously, the solution is to go all electric without the necessary infrastructure while completely ignoring range issues in larger countries.

pearl elk
#

I live in a large country so that aint an option for me πŸ™‚

#

carrying around a solar charging kit or charging up at a diesel generator setup in the middle of whoop whoop kinda defeats the purpose

#

there ya go, EV charger on the same palette as the diesel generator

light spruce
#

Also slow as fuck

pearl elk
#

yeah speed is really the issue, if solar panels were more efficient it could make a huge difference

light spruce
#

You would need a lot of them

pearl elk
#

to electric planes as well, they could greatly improve range

#

best thing would be airports wouldnt be so noisy

#

but aye Aussies are idiots, we have the longest flattest piece of land and do we build a high speed train like Japan, China or many other countries... nope

light spruce
#

I wouldn't have any place to charge an electric car if I had to go on a long trip. And, if I did, it's still too slow.

#

You also have to largely drive around the entire coast

pearl elk
#

yeah, Id use electric for a daily but not for my weekender

#

I just love this modern take on combustion engines, using high tech computers to push them to their limits

#

people can get all up in arms over EVs but the truth is theres just as much electronics in a modern ICE vehicle

#

if not more tbh because its easier to monitor EVs parts being electrical from the get go

light spruce
#

And diesels have had quite a bit more high tech shit applied to them for quite a while

pearl elk
#

yup, the engineering has definitely improved because of advances in manufacturing

#

I see a car with a carburettor and I freak out, not touching that thing it'll break lol

#

even just simple things like rims, back in the 90s those things were like a house deposit for what is now a cheap set

light spruce
#

I don't know shit about carbs

#

Before my time.

pearl elk
#

I know I eat plenty but thats about it lol

plucky pagoda
#

What app is best for splitting up a large monitor

light spruce
#

Also, some envelope math would tack on over an hour to my old trip that I used to make in less than 12 hours.

#

Using a long range Tesla Model 3 and being able to charge at 150kW

#

So, everything would be worse from there

pearl elk
#

does that factor in elevation though?

#

that seems to have a pretty big impact on EVs, since they dont have gearing uphill can really chew the battery. Ive actually heard there might be some EV gearboxes coming for towing, uphill and downhill so you get the most out of the power

#

you can lose energy to heat so by making the motors work less hard and then gearing so the weight of the vehicle improves regeneration downhill

fluid bloom
#

it doesn't matter

#

electric motors don't have optimal RPM ranges like internal combustion engines have

#

you get 100% torque all the time

foggy path
#

in Finland nearly all residential parking areas have power outlets already installed for car heaters

#

they really need to start converting those to support charging plugin hybrids and electric cars

fluid bloom
#

they need to upgrade the wires too though

#

and possibly the electricity company also has to upgrade their lines to the lot

foggy path
#

only if it's an older building, if it has enough juice to allow cabin heaters it has enough power for an electric car

pearl elk
#

its not a huge benefit, Ive heard anywhere between 4-10% range through EV gearing

foggy path
#

pretty much everything built after the 90s apparently have the capacity

carmine frigate
fluid bloom
#

I doubt that

pearl elk
#

when towing a boat I dont doubt it for a second tbh

foggy path
#

well I can run a cabin heater in my car, so I could charge electrics from there too

#

this building is from 2002 or so

fluid bloom
#

yea but at what kWh?

foggy path
#

I don't know the figures off the top of my head but enough for you to be able to easily charge overnight

fluid bloom
#

sure, but what happens when all tenants are charging during the same night? πŸ˜›

#

I guess it would work the same

pearl elk
#

I really think hybrids will be the go

fluid bloom
#

I mean... winter and block heaters and all as you said πŸ˜„

pearl elk
#

imagine you got a really big trip coming up and the whole grid goes down cuz everyone is running ACs and charging their cars

foggy path
#

Yep

pearl elk
#

there is this idea that cars could somehow reinforce the local grid but I dont see car manufacturers being able to work together on that one

fluid bloom
#

but anyway, if we assume that the heating pole thingys can do 10 amps and uses 230 volts, then fully charging a ~80 kWh battery would take around 35 hours (assuming it's empty)

#

I guess that would be fine for most things

pearl elk
#

good luck with 10a 230v in the US πŸ˜›

#

would work fine here

#

from what Ive seen of EV rally cars they use a 15A system and actually charge one car off a donor car

#

that gets em charged up super fast between stages

light spruce
#

Depending on your use rate over the week... you'd have to go charge the thing somewhere else at some point if you were just charging it on some 240V/10A garbage

pearl elk
#

bit like a petrol car, need to give it some premium every now and then, clean the cobwebs

#

lol if that worked why do radiator fans get powered by the engine

light spruce
#

I mean you wouldn't be able to keep it charged if you were driving the shit out of it constantly

#

Hey, most of them are only tangentially powered by the engine now

#

The person responsible for putting fans right on the crank was an asshole.

pearl elk
#

yeah they arnt on the main belt anymore but they are still on the battery not spinning from the air going in

light spruce
#

They would totally spin from air going in... as long as you turn them off

pearl elk
#

so why not use them to charge the battery instead of the alternator hehe

How do I make my open world MMO in one sentence?

thats why you dont see me using the help channels much, if Im asking how to fix my skin switching systems replication it requires me to spell it all out

#

I can do that fine on a forum but on text chat, not so great

graceful sequoia
#

when you get to an advanced stage it becomes difficult for folks to jump in and help

#

basic stuff is ez

light spruce
#

You mean... by the time you can explain the issue...you're 75% to a solution and 100% of the people still have no idea what you're talking about?

graceful sequoia
#

yeah pretty much

light spruce
#

I don't ask simple questions

#

Because if it's simple, I've already bothered to figure out something

graceful sequoia
#

yeap

pearl elk
#

theres also NDAs to consider

#

I cant just divulge all my clients codes πŸ˜›

light spruce
#

And there's not a channel for what I do anyway

#

Which is probably good.. because it'd be systems design and it'd be a lot of telling people they're building something stupid

pearl elk
#

hey Id be one of those people πŸ˜„

You're building something stupid. Stop failing upward.

I shoved the tube out the window and put a bunch of tape and foam around it to fill the gaps so hot air is not coming back in

It looks terrible but it does the job lol

I don't think it's really a thing most people are going to be doing unless they're working with some lower level stuff

I didn't think Billy Corgan had his head shaved at that time

I think most people think of bitcoin if you say bit shifting πŸ˜›

light spruce
#

It's a shame more people don't think "turdy dumps" when they think of bitcoin

graceful sequoia

"bit shifting" -- verb, meaning to launder cryptocurrency

pearl elk

shame people dont realise there was a Generation X between Boomers and Millenials

Now I'm torn between watching the car chase from Gone in 60 Seconds (the original that has car chases) (so basically half the film) and the beginning of Baby Driver.

"You can enable Lumen just by going here, and ticking this, and then this" 80% of viewers stop watching at this point

I always thought that Ronin was an odd choice of title

It would have made sense if someone was a quote unquote former samurai

Though there's also a good chance that Ronin and Heat have basically merged in my head

... which oddly makes me want to watch Collateral

Ziggy lines across my vision is my precursor to brain pain. Often I lose most of my sight for a time.

Luckilly, not had them for a while

The only sight I lose is a small area directly where I'm looking

This game has about 32879563 lines of dialogue

And you have to get to that part with Artemis to get your bond with her

didn't realize it was something controllable per server

mossy nexus

Servers have no control over search and common sense.

light spruce

common sense is a bullshit term that should be relegated to the garbage bin of history because it means nothing other than some arbitrary thing that the user wants it to mean

not sure censoring the log above made much sense considering anyone can just jump to it lol

light spruce
#

I've had "common sense" be used as an argument by people with no knowledge of the subject.

graceful sequoia
#

yeah i mean its fair but im meh

common sense is still a thing-- people on the internet are dumb

People are dumb

they don't have to be on the internet
