...those nitro scammers are really getting aggressive

Is there some tool to combine decals into a single one or something ?
yeah theres a plugin on the marketplace which does it

@tulip orbit I'm leaving this fucking game. You will take these skins and these three months of Nitro, Simon Neville, or I will hurt your family.

Iโm gonna sound like a total noob asking this, but are there any unreal engine tutors?
You know, that's actually a reasonable question; I'm sure there are people who will take your money and tell you how to do things badly, but as for a people actually competent in that role ... no idea!
Makes sense, I feel like that goes for most industries, what do you suggest is a good stepping stone into learning game development?
Iโve googled tons of stuff and I have kind of an idea, there just so many moving parts to it itโs kind of overwhelming
probably best to pick a small part to focus on to begin with
Best I can really offer you there is "a project". And I don't mean in the sense of "Hey, come up with a concept for an entire game." Just simple components like "I want to have a ball roll around (shit, I think they have some Marble Madness type template now)" or automatic ADS leaning around obstacles... just some kind of potentially inane thing
That is good advice actually
why is all this junk steam related, bit suss

Anyone knows a good C-like scripting language?
C#, obviously. It has C right in the name!
I would say so, yeah
Though, as in pretty much all cases, I'd ask, "what's your use case?"
And then immediately not have a useful answer because I don't actually keep track of even a fraction of available scripting languages
Haha yeah ๐ I'm same too
But, back when I did some random crap with Unity... I was using C# because javascript is total balls... and, surprise, years later... everything with Unity is C#
Aside from that, about the only thing I do is some dodgy bash scripting

Would you like to be on the ground floor of creating the Cyber Krunk genre with me?
Not sure when was the last time when I enjoyed a cyber punk themed game. I think, I played one buggy isometric before several years which was kinda interesting ๐ค
Shadowrun Returns?
F.. that one I forgot about, yeah it was not so bad. Tho I quitted last time, because of bugged quest and I had to repeat half to one hour.
The second one was better.
Think they are at least 3? Honk Kong being the last.
I never finished Hong Kong between dialogue fatigue and how infuriating the matrix was
Aah, yeah. Burnout
Because they changed it and it sucked
Exactly, I stopped on that one.
I was just console killing everything in it as a decker because it wasn't fun at all
I think that I was a rigger in the first two, which I liked doing.
Played mage or grunt mostly.
I use the term "BTL burn" from that quite frequently.
Lol, yeah, it is very good concept. Very relevant to what might happen.
Any time that I've been working (or gaming) and I'm just tired of everything because my brain was replaced with cauliflower pretending to be mashed potatoes ... BTL burn
I do still giggle at the "jack-in" terminology
Haven't sit to play a game since xmass ๐ค
I played all of the original Legend of Grimrock over the past few days.
Not sure what else I'm going to pull out of the back catalog. I really want to do the 60 FPS modding for Bloodborne
Because I usually do a run of that about every months or so.
Bloodborne.. not familiar with it.
PS4 game. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloodborne
Bloodborne is an action role-playing game developed by FromSoftware and published by Sony Computer Entertainment, which released for the PlayStation 4 in March 2015. Bloodborne follows the player's character, a Hunter, through the decrepit Gothic, Victorian eraโinspired city of Yharnam, whose inhabitants are afflicted with a blood-borne disease....
I also still keep meaning to play the board game. I have the card game and expansion.
Dark Souls board game.. bleh
I see ๐
Star Wars Jedi Longest Name Ever was pretty good too.. but a bit platforming heavy and lacking in the builds department

df really... I can see for minutes the ghost after image of an webpage on my monitor.
So... how does everyone in here feel about the Epic & Fortnite news that's making the rounds?
I don't know anything about it; I feel like it's going to be a safe assumption that it's something stupid though.
man coding is such a fucking trip, like, hey you wanna make something that grabs some text and pictures from a webpage and bounces? sure, 2 minutes, oh you wanna navigate to the page to do the required action? thats gonna be 5 whole days of pulling your hair out boss
Just in case you were referring to what I said...
good devs copy, great devs steal?
I like the saying that only assholes and desperate people steal... I'm hoping that Epic are neither...
Among Us' mechanics weren't original to begin with.
But considering how popular it was, and its art style, and Fortnite's history of licensing random things, it's a peculiar choice not to license Among Us.
On the other hand, they did take PUBG's game mode. Perhaps the lesson is that if Epic ever makes a popular game mode (that isn't already copied from someone else), you should strongly consider making your own version.
do it urself cuz you dont agree with it ๐
"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" and "anything you can do I can do better"
I remember the mmo boom
Iunno... after some years, all these games go up & down. In fact, this relates to all the modern (temporary) trends.
You got the name correct. I think 4 player co-op is a supertrend.
From the original Left4Dead to Deep Rock Galactic to Phasmophobia to GTFO, it seems to have transcended genres.
Though there's also quite a few straight clones of Left 4 Dead. And Back 4 Blood is popualr.
one random idea I had was a cryptid hunting game
as in, like Deer Hunter and those kind of "serious" hunting simulations
but with cryptids instead of deer
:D
Monster hunter, but you're destroying a fragile ecosystem that takes decades to grow back.
Pokemon sends such mixed messages. It's about protecting nature and living in harmony with its inhabitants, but at the same time about capturing said inhabitants and making them fight each other for human's amusement
The message is consistent if pokemon are made to fight. (Begs the question, why do they faint if they can be eaten?)
memes are going in weird direction, and I love it.
what is this one about?
no one tell this person
if it's a porn reference, please do as he says
Also, it's about children forcing these animals to fight
"When I grow up, I want to be just like Michael Vick!" "A professional football player?" "He played football?"
Step 1: raise animal
Step 2: care for animal
Step 3: train the animal
Step 4: pit your animal against another in a cockfight-esque setting
step 5: me breaking trainers legs for pitting animals against other animals :p
Nah just have the trainers or whatever you call them fight eachother
Just get one of those magnetic fishing things
I enjoy driving through low visibility!
It makes it more exciting when people already can't do basic things like "stay in their lane" or "generally pay attention to anything around them"
Or drive 50cm from your rear bumper at 130kph ๐
If it was up to me I would punish that the same as attempt of murder, it's basically the same thing
"The mating call of duty. And drove down the dying process? What pick do we spit? Arizona cancer will recur?" Thanks, Google. Really helping me out here.
Yep
once my car becomes a beater, I'm gonna get a bumper sticker "I brake for tailgaters"
it's how I got my car wrecked at the bottom of my driveway
I want to get a 300 dollar car, weld some plates on it, and then drive around the roundabouts and see how many collisions I can get into in a month
I dont understand why people get so upset over tailgaters. Like your responsible for what happens infront of you, not behind you. If they hit you, its their fault.
Like sure, its a inconvenience for you if that happens.
I just ignore tailgaters.
If they plow into the back of me ๐คท I get a new car on their insurance.
๐
Sure. As long as.. you know.. you don't plow into a ditch... tree... person.. some combination
True thats always going to be part of the risk, but you cant control how others drive.
Obviously, you should always just ignore completely irresponsible behavior of other people
I mean if it's on slower roads I ignore them, don't pay much attention to them
But when you are going 130kph a slight bump can send you straight into the railing or off the road
draw concept art or code?
The max speed limit in Australia is 110km lol
hi

Art wise it looks pretty shitty too
Meant to reply to the first sentence ๐ซ
well it's a bit hard to say, it doesn't look very impressive sure but maybe it works better for other types of scenes
That happen when you enable realtime shadows, but you don't have experieced technical artist in the team

Yeah go figure that a person with good hygiene doesn't stink
Who would have thought
:p
I can sometimes make it out of the bathroom after a shower before I start sweating
Sweat isn't what smells
it's the combination of that and all the gunk you'd wash off in the shower :P
Also, not everyone has stink glands
some people have enough for others
bacteria grows in it
you know... like it does all over and DEEP INSIDE US
I should probably just stop using antiperspirant since it doesn't really keep me from sweating anyway
just stick with plain ol' deodorant

There is a bit of game on this cinematic
Call of F Respects
it surprises me how bad the gameplay parts looks to be a campaign compared with the last years BF and so
wait, a ww 2 cod?
lol they think theres going to be a games worth of content for each, good luck with that. If anything it'll probably be shorter than WaW
yeah I had actually to reply that
I dont play every CoD but from Infinite Warfare to Black Ops Cold War the game shrank by atleast 2-4hrs at minimum
I don't own any of the new ones released outside of steam
Theyre really not good value tbh, Im always paying for bundled stuff I dont use
COD was good while there were focusing on the actual single player story
Now its turned into multiplayer cheaterfest with anime skins and bullet traces with all colors of the rainbow
Theres nothing wrong with them doing the MP thing but I think the way they have the teams split doesnt work well. It would be better if they had 1 team on SP, 1 team on MP and the other on zombies and make those all separate products instead of bundling them.
someone knows if world aligned textures work with tessellation ? never tried out
Issue is CoD isnt just CoD anymore its got heaps of sub brands, Black Ops could easily ditch the CoD tag and people would know what it is
Battlefield has abit of an edge there since the main brand is always the focus even when the theme changes
CoD to me died the days they removed mod tools
๐คทโโ๏ธ
that was 12 years ago, I get old
I grew out of the bombastic action thing cod does once I went to the army ๐
It just seemed really ridiculous after that
oh no
but why these spammer use premium accounts to promote fake premium accounts ?
Seems more legit that way
Medal of Honour was my fav, CoD and CoD 2 were alright
Ugh, this is mildly complicated. I'm working on a system for my game where customers have a sort of "satisfaction" rating for their visit
basically it just says whether they visited the player's store successfully based on factors like if their tasks succeeded, and whether the store was nice (eg. not disgustingly messy and such)
and it's used to determine if the customer's "level" changes (or doesn't)
it sounds simple but coming up with a good way to calculate it based on all these factors is a pain lol
well thank to cod4 I started doing what I do now, no regrets
My dad is a hardcore fan of older CODs lol
He stopped playing them when they practically abandoned single player stuff
I never got much into those tbh
They were okay, but at the time I played Day of Defeat 1.3 which was much more to my taste of games at the time when it comes to multiplayer and such :D
I think Black Ops 1 was the first cod that I actually bought, didn't get into the original MW games much but I think I played them at some point
imagine playing CoD multiplayer
I remember when I figured out that Call of Duty 4 was just a shooting gallery... I mean, literally Time Crisis (or Operation Wolf if you're a bit older) with a few more walking elements. Absolutely died on me then.
Imagine playing Call of Duty 25
So some feckin' muppets decided to start a fire last night at the back of some local shops. Fire teams have been there now for 7 hours still pouring water on them. Luckily no one was hurt.

yeah. Listed buildings too, but that's nothing to the loss of the business to their owners.

I'm doing my [interval] run of Bloodborne... and fuck all of the following things: The camera boss. Input being hamstrung by 30 FPS shit. People who make these weird exploits look like they're trivial to pull off instead of a bunch of hoping that something happens at the right time
I've got one great rule for absolutely everyone: Never draw anything on the screen that obscures a player's target.
Because in the past week, I've had shit get in my way in Bloodborne, The Ascent, and dumb UI shit I don't care about while playing CoD Warzone. Turns out... it's really hard to shoot a man when you have some rank up on your screen or a notice that someone used a killstreak within 400 meters of you. I can only conclude that no one tests anything.. because there's no way that someone runs into some bullshit like that and doesn't realize how infuriating it is.
I will now go throw shit across the room and never come back.

@slim badger Yeah so all bitcoin should be just held very long term, small term is a good way to get riled, but generally by the time people are investing you are too late, like when doge was 70c.
When BTC increases in value all other coins do so you got like still potentials of x10 for if btc goes to 500k, I assume there's going to be something dumb that'll push it to 1mill in 10 years or something.
call me delusional or what ever but it doesn't bother me because I already made back everything invested and it's just a bit of fun to me, which is all us normies should see it as
actually i was writing some bullshit about these coins
but I cant talk about coins anymore, that's makes me remember the amount of money I lost on these shit coins ;(
$150?
much more, around $1000 and this money whu-hu is very big for my country. I could make a good 1 week holiday in 5 star hotel
Only buy BTC. Everything else is trash or a scam.

Anyone here make a mechanic that launches a cable component to a target and then can have your character swing in a pendulum motion?
I get the feeling the cable component is way too jank for that :D
Best bet would probably be to just use it as a visualization if it works well enough and perform the rest of the logic in some other fashion (eg. just do a linetrace, and the swing just moves you manually)
Ah crap, cuz I've already started it with the cable component
Hmm
I mean I could be wrong, if you tweak the settings you can certainly reduce the jank
so it depends on how exactly you intend for it to work
you'd most likely need to calculate how far the target point is and set the cable length to be that long, otherwise I have no idea what it'll do if you have physics or such enabled :D

Looking for mates who wanna create a cult with me.
It's called against console player who slow down progress of hardware, software and gameplay.
You know how wrong that statement is? Console development and the fanbase has contributed more to games development over the years than PC users ever have. Just because its fixed hardware and development can be limited by the platform its targetted for doesn't mean it's slowed anything down. Think of the multi-billions that console development have brought into game dev. Think about how the PC platform has had a piracy issue that for decades has cost the developer sales that were almost guaranteed to be there on console platforms. More more, more development, more sustainability, more chance for a business to survive the launch. etc, etc.
but then... I know PC vs console is a meme. So enjoy it
what u just said are all excuses
piracy doesnt hurt studios atall
easy solution is to enable regional pricing.
piracy reduces.
making billions with consoles? ...
nobody talkinga bout money!
i could say the same about u
not that it matters. Arguing with people who are blatently wrong and just having a joke with it is pointless.
how would i know that i am wrong
see previous statement
that is a bad statement
in your opinion. The opinion of someone who is wrong. But whatever.
yeah theres always been some kind of console piracy at some point in hardware life but we all know piracy holds only a small fraction of potential sales. With consoles and hardware format sales, theres always been that initial sale protection.
its the disparity between console piracy and pc piracy. It's not a contradiction. Day 0 piracy on PC is way worse than console

that prolly was one of the most crazy weeks in my life tho
I get some form of insomnia on high altitudes
i got perscription meds for it, but mixed with large amounts of alcohol it did some strange things
nope
rain and melted snow
my laptop didnt survive
must have been at least 30 litre
the room was rented by the company and i had to vacate it in a few hours so didnt have the time to drain it ๐
nah i dont blame em ๐
it was justified ๐
also i had to rush everything so i could hitch a ride instead of gettin a 600$ plane ticket
the driver downed like 20 beers on the ride back so im just glad i made it out alive there
thats all just 1 day of that week, like its up there with my most crazy weeks ๐
I dont live there ๐
well not anymore
it was a tourist seasonal job, wintersports
I didnt have any customer break any bones or stuff like that so its all good ๐
I did work there for like 5 months but the insomnia thing really messed me up
What on earth ...
unsee
poor daz
quick Q: has the "ancient game" demo had any updates, or is it the same data as when it was first made available?
nuts daz
diesknutz
naz duts
it loads an 8k normal map for the eye sockets <_<
and another one for the lips
yup
it changes a few variables for the lips in an instance, but besides that loads all the same textures.
so instead of masking, they use an instance.
same for ears and such
the eye has 7 instances.
I canโt wait to buy psychonauts 2, want to play 1 again before playing 2, and then not having time play either of them
bhahaha
I've been asking for offers from moving firms for moving our stuff to our new house
one firm has like 50% more cost per hour than the rest on average
AND
they start billing when their employees leave their office and billing stops once they get back to their office
what the fuck ๐
other companies start billing once their guys reach the destination and stop billing immediately after the move has been done
Don't you get like a flat fee for a full truck? I think thats how it works here, probably around 800 E for the whole move
We're moving in january
here most places charge to and from their office as well ๐ฆ and then for local moves its by the hour. long distance its by weight
I kindly told them to fuck off
Hi, I wanted to talk to gamedev folks about ways of cheapening game development by using smart gameplay mechanics and systems. I think that this topic is very interesting and important for small developers to consider. If we look at indie titles will see that the most popular games are rogelikes with random locations and item drops like Hades and Binding of Issac... These games use instant death mechanic to send you back to OLD locations and OLD enemies and OLD ... but with few changes, so dev cost is smaller because now you dont need to make many locations and enemies and ... This is the simplest example of what I mean, I think that there are smarter ways to make game longer and less costly to develop by reducing number of needed assets for example. SO IF anybody want to talk about this topic you can send me a text message.

F...
so what you guys think about the 4.27 is stable ?
we have a good team for the jam, we are going to be using 4.27 to compete in the XR category
As long as your not reaching too far, for our case, PCVR/SteamVR, its as stable as 4.26
dont use forward rendering and just "KISS", from my experience its stable
well i have to set render res on like 20% on the UE5 demo and it barely runs than
They gotta drop, so when ue5 comes, it gonna blow your card off. In a good way.
we tried 4 different headsets, 5 different system configs on the packaged default template in 4.27, everything runs flawlessly. Like I said, as long as you Keep It Simple Stupid, and your not trying to fix volumetric clouds and mess with rendering features during the jam, 4.27 will be no problem
why not use forward?
why use forward?
it doesn't work with some aliasing methods and other stuff, that kind of stuff is getting into the exploration waters where you will encounter issues. just take the 4.27 template, make your game, worry about fps and rendering features at the end. the judges have great systems
and what does KISS stand for?
keep it simple stupid lol
I think in 4.27 MSAA doesn't work on forward, I saw someone complaining about it in vr channel, victor said something about it not working yet
maybe it was something else
hmm i do like the buffers you get in deferred
oh wow your right 4.27 template is using forward out of the box
we had no idea, for the most part we are just going to keep those default until the end, just use baked lighting where possible
im prolly gunna do a VR jam entry aswell, might change it too deferred but i dunno
and yes is using MSAA out of the box, I can't remember what someone was complaining about one of the aliasing methods though
just assume ppl are clueless and check the facts ๐
it was working in 4.27 preview at least... we run everything forward with MSAA... anything else is begging for choppy framerates and blurry graphics
epic's water system, however, is still broken in that configuration (instanced stero, of course)
volumetric clouds work though
forward is all fun and games until you try to use ambient occlusion ๐
im using ambient occlusion in forward
then you're not using msaa, and you should
msaa doesnt do AO?
not well... it looks like utter shit, because unreal's ao relies on taa
ow w8, there was a deleay in all my light stuff
unreal's ao must be like from the original 1998 game ๐
i have no probs with the shader compile tho
my PC didnt run that demo disk at the time so never played it
haha... castle demo on loop for hours! ๐
I'm surprised nobody has replicated the original fractal looking torch effect in ue4 or ue5 yet ๐
i finished that soldier of fortune demo a bunch of times
yes... buy ultimate sky pro from the marketplace ๐
(that's our solution, at least and it seemed to work) ๐
I think we also saw that using the out of the box clouds
infiltrator demo also has a nice sky
or just delete the sky, like whatever
i call it fixed
haha not quite. for reference, someone was complaining MSAA in VR forward rendering was dropping major performance according to their profiler, it was related to shadows, they later said maybe it was something else causing it, and victor said it was because the bloom in their post was way to high
just scale it down to 0
skyrim
@thorny dock Sorry, wanted to reply there but I just deleted both while we discuss what to do with it
no worries ๐ something just didn't look right, people are always really good about file uploads here
(in my limited experience)
Yeah, not 100% sure what I think about it but not comfortable enough with downloading random files to check it out myself lol
Looks like its an iPhone photo file format, but there are lots of security risks online
the internet is a security risk
mark zukyberg wil crawl trough ur cable right up ur ass ๐
I think beeple made a NFT of this
search "dialysis king" and check out the first result
think ill just not search that
then you would be missing out on the creators of south park new deepfake short series, where zuccs is the dialysis king ๐
hitman2 being offered in a humblebundle, but it's a steam key, not an egs key
which means i can't add it to hitman3 as dlc and use the updated engine
assuming i even had the aud$16 i need to get it in the first place ๐
The European sprat (Sprattus sprattus).... Sprattus sprattus... ๐ค
ok wait
https://ioisupport.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360019016477--PC-Access-Pass-Guide-Location-Importing i think this means you CAN get the dlc thingies
i just need to put tthe dollarz down and link my steam account
then i can do the transfer thingy
hitman3 release and dlc system might be confusing as all hell but props to them for allowing this
What is the best Weather Plugin on the marketplace to get? That works in client-server.
Best is a personal choice based on style and needs etc, but Ultra Dynamic Sky is pretty decent ๐
hey gamers
Not gamers, gamedevs. When the star aligns.
What are we in between?
Yea probably
Sky Creator also has network replication... it's apparently a bit more work out of the box than UDS, but the author claims its more flexible because of it.
this is such a good shot
I am confused immensely
That is... confusing yeah
omg its zomg ๐ฎ

I get the feeling someone's just fucking with them and it's not Epic
it's not epic
i know it's not epic lol
I'd imagine if crytek wanted they could just contest it due to obviously conflicting trademarks and getting the domain transfered over
they could yeah
Any recommendations for a general-purpose video player that has forward and backward scrubbing? VLC seems to be getting slower and less responsive with every update, and it doesn't have backward frame-by-frame scrubbing.
Saw something about PotPlayer but unfortunately it's now being bundled with PUPs, unsurprisingly.
mpc-be/mpc-hc + madvr
no idea if either supports backscrubbing though
Yeah was just looking at MPC-BE, seems as though HC isn't maintained as of 2017 which is a shame
@solid aurora do you have a twitter handle?
Just tagged you in my post ๐
Im surprised it works, I tried enabling and and it crashed ๐
@solid aurora i followed you, just cause i could ๐คฃ

anyone kno any finished games that were complete by volunteers formed in #volunteer-projects ?
@twin birch do you mind if i ask you something in private message? I would speak to you in the voice chat but atm I'm sick and don t have voice.
(i thought it would be nice to ask before doing it, sorry for the tag)
ep----ic-----megaaaaaa------jaaammmmmmm
time to beat the burnout and make some crappy game that wins a participation badge or something ๐
im probably too late to get going. I've been in a bad mental state for the past 18 months. I need something to ease me in again. Im not sure the pressure of putting something out in a week would be a good idea in my situation. But I have an idea.
I might make something stupid
๐
Ohno
Here comes Epic
What happened to that nReal lawsuit btw
An absolutely mandatory extension
In deep rock galactic there is this "nanite bomb dispenser"
Elevator music? What about the local news? Reminds me of Mass effect.

Day 2 of MegaJam. Can't wait to get to work.
Fire up UE4. Get hundreds of warning messages.
Realize every default niagara modules is broken.
Have to manually download and reinstall Niaga plugin content.
Die inside
It's still day 1 for me ๐ค
Time zone sucks arse tbh
understandable
Though I already have a working title
Claustroclast
noice
just make a game which consumes more and more RAM as you play it
boom done win guaranteed
mega jamming
actually I have a fun idea... you have to keep protein and weights away from a body builder who just keeps becoming bigger and bigger every time he pumps
so much so that eventually he won't fit inside the house
The 96KB FPS that took 340 MB of RAM use 
It would be down to a single Shadertoy code if it's about the tiniest possible game ( + crinkler compression)
Isn't this working kinda in the opposite way? ๐ค
Ah, wait, missed the last few words.
Can add a pump booster: roids
pump booster sounds sus
the new saints row seems like a dated game
like I get you don't want realistic graphics but idk+
but it looks from ps3 gen
with better effects
like giving 30% to steam? ๐
What does steam do with all that money anyway?
hey gamers
gamedevonshire
how it be
For me, ok
das is gud ya
Valve is flat structured for the most part. It's considered to be miracle that Half Life Alyx survived cancellation risk.
I think Valve is spending some of that 30% on downvoting Epic Exclusives ๐
God knows how many projects Valve has cancelled after The Orange Box released.
just the one, The Orange Box 3 but theyve cancelled it 20 times
I found it interesting Valve made a handheld which doesnt have any cellular
everyone was flipping out over it and Im sitting there but how you meant to use steam on the traino
Is Nintendo Switch have built in 4G cellular capabilities?
No idea, its not really a comparison to Nintendo its just an observation about a company who runs an online service releasing a product with limited connectivity
everyone was talking about MP games like you'd actually be able to play em without wifi
Are you jamming? ๐ค
Im crawling, not sure bout the jam
Never ends to amaze me he things Epic greenlight in the marketplace
Wish there was a way to filter models by polycounts, the lowpoly tag isnt very great since its down to interpretation
Here is a BP pack where the dude used Characterpawn to every BP as parent
characters and non characters
and no one is actually a walking character
Food ? Character Pawn
Fish ? Character Pawn
[V] Greenlight
Ive always wondered what itd be like to be a can of cat food
Na he made it to use the navmesh
fish go for the food, the food are characters, the fishes too lol
you cannot control these
is AI driven
gordAIn ramsey
Just because it may look like a perfectly flat triangle doesn't mean that the triangle is subdivided into many other triangles
If that's what you mean
I mean like for your game maybe 10,000 polys is low poly, for mine maybe 2,000 is low poly
Whatever fits your poly budget yeah
I really dislike the marketplace because of how long it takes to find relevant items, the tag system only works for higher level filtering not getting down to what you actually want
Im actually worried that Epic isnt using machine learning much, companies that are will catch up and zip past really fast
state of the art renderer and a 90s flash style marketplace
Yeah the marketplace is a pain at times
So many little annoyances
Like when you go to the next page you start at the bottom
I prefer some of the other CG markets like TurboSquid, CGTrader because of their better search functionality
but obviously that only works for raw assets not UE specific
lets hope SketchFab rubs off on Epic not the other way around ๐
at first I was just like dont be too hard on Epic theyre just starting out but at this point its clear they just dont care
its funny how the daz launcher makes the epic launcher look like the pinnacle of perfection
its getting close to not usable at 1080p
some of the dropdowns require you to scroll to see the entire thing
What's more immersive/fantasy-esque word for Tank character role?
epic launcher takes 3min to load on my hdd
Paladin or Guardian Knight
but it depends, the role is separate from the class
Yeah, it's separate, and paladin & knight are used somewhere else already
tank is what we call them cuz we dont live in a fantasy world and we have big armoured tanks ๐
knights were kinda like tanks, so were war elephants
Tank of beer.
catapult
siege engines are more like artillery though, glass cannons
Actually a tank. Armored, throws big stuff far
They made of wood and steel. Its hard to destroy.
you simply burn the wood ๐
depends on entirely on the construction though, some are behind fortifications, or are built with armour like battering rams
Well, I compare it with a soldier. Even if armored one, it is easier to cut one down, than to chop a big wooden device.
yeah I mean we could argue infantry could never be a tank but cataphract ride horses
Put horses in a siege weapon ๐ก
I guess chariots are some form of light armoured vehicle
Ha... I remember the World of warcraft - dwarves had tanks.
IFVs of the day ๐
Ah, wait, I'm tinking of a tank as in armor. Like you know, Abraham. Not as these stupid roles.
Maybe heavy armoured dude with a sword somewhat is tank, if everyone else around him wears cloth
didnt they have goblin gyrocopters too
tank is just a gamification term we use, sometimes theyre called heavies but it all depends because not all tanks are slow
If you roll a tank, full of water, down the hill, it gets quite fast.
apparently the worlds fastest tank is FV101 scorpion, top speed of 82kmph
I dont think I can run that fast ๐
especially not in full armour
Hmm... that fast. Not much, but still...
I mean, if you are driving a tank, you may as well chill.
Im not sure Id trust myself in a tank that could do 300kmph+
there wouldnt be a cop on earth who could stop me lol
driving through bank vaults like yolo
not sure I could "chill" sitting in a box with periscopes as windows and a vast array of anti tank systems able to kill me
... not sure you can cover the fuel cost tho ๐ค

lmao @ Steam Store
Looks like them elitists are getting jealous and gullible for it lmao
feeling competitive
How dare Epic make me download a free store to buy games... oh wait, thats what Valve does ๐
Nah, anything Valve does is always right, dumping Artifact included.
Tanks are called tanks because that's what they were called while making them, so the Germans didn't know we were making armoured vehicles.
tanks not to be confused with tinks

Mons you should see the blue origin spaceship what besos used
Anyone know wtf this is all about? (multi user session after enabling the water plugin) Invalid version for 'Water' (expected '<none>', got '7'). Do you have an extra plugin enabled?)
you should set 7 to <none>

lol that was on TV last night, they played both
oh no
