@ionic flame π
why tank is liking our comments
don't worry about it
.
+1 this if I'm a cool dude
oh there's two of you 
is that peps in disguise come back to haunt us
they copied your bio too?
S/he is watching netflix
it can't scratch its belly so it scratches off people's faces who get lost in the garden, as a hobby
seems like a bot that just thumbs-ups every message
and copied your profile for some reason
they're worth less than reddit karma
Just what I think is a classic Drawn Together line and since I couldn't find it as a stand alone quote anywhere else, I decided to upload it myself for others to use appropriately.
if it were a virus on your machine it wouldn't be running as a separate account lol
I got the first like π₯³
idk but i have seen it happen before in Allar discord
they cloned the entire server and started tagging people
invasion?
It would be sad if same would happen and mods ban the actual tank
There are two tanks here π
Its kinda dangerous ngl
i kinda appreciate someone who went through the effort to just end up thumb uping my useless messeges
π₯²
π
oh, it might be happening in other channels too
<@&213101288538374145> can you mute that NoLess tank or something?
Its happening everywhere
:triangular_flag_on_post: ATankNoMore#8654 received strike 1. As a result, they were muted for 10 minutes.
rip
Yeah, the LessTank
Hah woops
I knew that would happen lol
hahaa
lmao
poor tanky
XD
friendly fire
:no_entry_sign: ATankNoLess#5706 was banned.
Might be a new bot troll trend π€
huh? all reactions removed as well
@ionic flame Sorry ill revoke the Strike.
!pardon @ionic flame
Is it working? π€
he's still muted π¦
!pardon @ionic flame 1739
lol thats kinda sad
Hmm the command might not be working
rip tank, it was nice knowing you
Well, it will be for 10 minutes. Poor tank, collateral damage.
Oh he is typing
ayy
it was really "a tank no more" for a few mins
lol what happened here
Fun
weird spambot copied Tank's profile and was putting thumbs ups on every message
ah
you can't be banned anymore?
it happens from time to time, least it was a strike not a ban @ionic flame lol π
I said sorry so that nullifies the immunity
tank doesn't forgets, tank doesn't forgives
No way
normal orbstone
Dafomo in halflifr 3 confirm
lmao tank giving fumbs on other servers xD
they banned you like 5 times
unity, and other discord servers for people selling stuff on the marketplace
Did you pissed off someone or smth? π
can anyone help having technical difficulties with ue4
when i open my ai enemy folder it does this
you sure it wasn't your alt or something you programmed sometime ago which got sentient?
now now don't be so humble there
Good to know.
it's good to never assume you have mastered something or reached the peak , that way you never stop growing
Not thaaat but yeah I liked it a lot
Gonna start 2nd season today
I can appreciate more Pucky scenes this season π
I watched 2 OVAs
I watched the one explains why Pucky calls Emilia as "Lia" and what is their agreement is about, and other one was happening inside the mansion, everywhere was frozen etc.
Didnt saw anything with Elizabeth yet
Rem > Emilia tbh
No π
No
i read the Novel to some extent and now waiting for anime to catch up is going to take a while for me
Oh boy you're just starting on S2? Have fun.
Is everyone watching that anime lol
Eh, forgive my ignorance. I'm just starting to be a weeb π
based white fox and their time travel masterpieces
Was that a spoiler? π
Speaking of weeb
not a spoiler
wasn't talking about anything upcoming
return-by-death is just sort of a time travel mechanic though I guess it's never looked at like that
was more referencing the other insanely popular show white fox produced, which is steins;gate
In a sense, it's restart from last checkpoint
I guess I should have said they like doing groundhog day shows
i can't even say anything without spoiling, oof
A new report from RBC claims Intel and AMD are set to comply with new sanctions imposed by the United States on sales and exports of specific technologies to Russia in response to its invasion. TSMC, who also makes some of Russiaβs own chips, is also said to be complying. The news, if accurate, could severely hurt Russiaβs economy as companies w...
Russian gaming may suffer as well.
Which likely will boost another channels, black market for example.
I have since doubt those ultimatum will pressure Russia to cease fire anytime soon until leadership change
russian citizens are loosing quite a lot of facilities
It can turn very ugly. I know some stories of crashed economies. Let see though.
Thats the goal
Youth and some minority of aged people are against the war because of this
Oh hi π I'm living that story in Turkey π
But this is the Putin's war only. It's not russian and ukrainian. Sanctions are received to ordinary people
Worst part about it is, I dont think sanctions will be removed in the future even if the war ends today so Russian people might be* be isolated from world like Iran π¦
yeah it probably won't be fine and dandy like nothing ever happened
time for slavic spring
slavic spring π€
in reference to arab spring :P
..arab spring π€
Ikr
your picture... its different
Different in.. which meaning π
yeah intax loves pucky now
different from the last time i seened it
i have not fallen into such a trap
yet
i used to have an anime-esque picture but was told it was unprofessional and in fairness was in quite bad taste (regarding the origin of it)
Are you working in a company that uses Discord effectively?
This is the avatar I have in our work Slack and nobody has ever commented it lol https://ca.slack-edge.com/T0299MRKT-U03BF19CB-7577f9185cfd-512
i wish, it would mean i was professional software dev and not a lazy wannabe π but no, my friend suggested i change it when i started trying to freelance on discord servers
Haha I see, though a solid GitHub profile probably would overcome this
lmao
But yeah I think Gambit's friend is right
i mean yeah, anime pic is considered as cartoon by people
I think most people don't really care that much about it, but it's still a good practice to maximize your chances
i don't think anyone can comment on that...
Unless its EA or Naughty Dog I wouldnt work with a team that jugdes me by my anime pfp tbh
like.. it wasnt nudity but ecchi so.. i conceded
@deep copper probably not cos I'm the CTO so they're afraid to say it's fucking weird
lol
whats a cto
ah, no wonder
Chief Titty Officer yeeee
i mean.. id accept that position
Lol
@timber viper we got a CTO position available at #pretendevs right?
and also, let's not forget that most otaku in japenese culture itself are looked down upon sometimes, because it means you waste a lot of time watching this stuff, maybe
Sure, anyone can also pretend like they are CTO
i feel like chief positions are just "we need to get this done, let me get someone on it right away"
I really doubt we talk about the same. True however, Turkey is not in good place.
that's usually it, they have high exp so they don't have time to spend micromanaging little details, just focus on bigger picture
everyone knows americans visit there once a year to get their thanksgiving meals
It is tasty :)
Yea I get you
if you send me some baklava, ill send you some steam games equal to the shipping cost
Because of people keep trolling our country name, finally government changed its official English name to it's native name "TΓΌrkiye" lol π
can you do that? just change a word in another language because of trolls?
now english people can't aay it
say
It's official reason is to "increase the brand value of the country" (if I translated correctly from Turkish), but I'm pretty sure main reason is Turkey is also has a meaning of a food in English π
yeah π
As young, I was watching over grandparents turkeys.
also if something "is a turkey" it means it's a bad product or such :P
Like "Made in China" ?
why is turkey even used for that lol
don't they burry their heads to protect themselves
Males can be very aggressive. A lot.
we just say "its shit". cultural difference i guess
Were they turkeys? π€
no idea, it was definitely a big bird like turkey
We had one, I think was near 10 years old. Most aggressive, big bird, raging its blood was colouring its head.
@scarlet cedar yeah I mean the phrase to be a turkey isn't used that much, but it does occasionally get used like that
Once, I remember it was chasing a grown up teen down the street.
She was running as hell.
it's an english language colloquialism, there is no translation of that in other languages I know of
sounds like a goose
in finnish turkey is called turkki, which also means "fur coat" :D
as in the kind you wear, or the kind animals have
Nah, I know gooses. Watching over them too as a kid. They kinda go on their own.
i wonder why turkey has so many meanings
I think it's just a coincidence in the finnish case
you dont make fur coats out of feathers?
turkki is probably a finnish language approximation of the turkish word for the country's name
and the fact it has a finnish language meaning besides the country is just coincidence
Nah, I'm just confused how many different cultures use Turkey/Turk/Turkki words in different meanings
Turkki also how Greeks call us
With single k but when they pronounce it becomes double π
we just say Turkey like the animal. its weird because both are nouns so.. context is important
maybe turkey came from turkey
so it's just called the bird from turkey
and then it shortend to just turkey
which would mean turkey can sue the bird for taking over its name?
i used to think Turkey was short for Turkmenistan then i found out they are not the same thing
i don't even know what that is
different country to the right of Turkey over the lake
Turkmen is Turkish people who are nomads/wandering around
so they are turkish too
trust is very important, hevedy
agreed. i trust that no website is actually trustworthy
"it hasn't harmed me that noticeably yet, let's pick this as it has least risk compared to others"
Wasn't it Turku?
Oh wait, nevermind
no, Turku is a city lol
close enough
Unreal Engine 5 The Matrix Awakes. Join me in The Matrix. Showcasing the Night Mode which can be toggles in yellow markers on the map. Showcasing Driving and car crashes as well and some first-person and third-person views.

"Very high ress, crazy detals"
Moves to the left
wait wait lets get of here
The headlights were the most jarring to me, as it doesn't have the more correct reflections that point light probes provide
there are no point lights in this level
came to check this because I really miss some city generator, don't think Epic made this manually
And it's the reason why the headlights looked off to me
also I wish they gave access to the robot game buildings cuz are cool
They said it was generated with Houdini
Something that I know film guys have been doing for a while now
yeah Houdini, maybe I have to try it or something
I'm inclined to think it was a necessity for those who want to be not taken as a joke in the industry.
But who knows if Blender/UE community come up with ways to trick UE5's Houdini centric placement system to work with Blender's systems
Justice for freebies and lowcosters have to be made after all
there is a plugin for Blender todo kinda the same with geo nodes
aside from that tech artist usually do use of Houdini but
never tested it myself never had the urge at all
wait what
230 for 12 months and then 232 for one month ?
XD
I mean... if you are so dedicated, you as well may support them more /wink
also this cannot be used with my clients from what I read ?
Wdym by "used with"?
If I got Epic as client lets say
I cannot use Houdini from what the license says
as they exceed the 1.000.000β¬ per year or so as client
so the indie tiers are off from me
makes no sense because I don't do that numbers
also they don't pay me the tools *directly
5000β¬ per year
is kinda absurd as freelance
Ppl who use units like gram per lb are sadists.
"You are a freelancer who earns less than $100,000 annually. You have a contract do work for a large company that has revenues over $100,000.
If you produce final renders or baked out data for the large company then they are considered a client and you may use Houdini Indie. If you want to share scene files and assets then you are partners and will require a commercial license."
Found that
I don't know if the actual things loaded into the houdini engine inside UE4 count as baked out data
Mike Lyndon from SideFX will explore how the latest iteration of the Houdini Niagara data interface has simplified the process of exporting point caches and added new ways of using that data in Niagara. With it, you can import fluid sims, crowds or other types of static or animated caches. The second half of the presentation from Paul Ambrosiuss...
scenebuildig tim
oh man the houdini engine is paid for studios too, otherwise is free lol
As technical artist you should learn houdini*
Maybe you can use it after the company pays 10k
"it's all about enjoying what you do"
Who needs a car when you can get Houdini for the same price and make it
It's like saying Adobe Substance is free
||but just the UE link plugin||
Well
Substance Player used to be free for all
isn't now ?
I mean Substance Link and Substance Player where you can generate pngs are free for all
Houdini is like, oh so you are indie the Houdini link is free, if you are a company then is 500β¬ per year just to execute the files
on top of the 5000 license for the app
ah, is that why i see houdini 1 year licence giveaways
LOL
... you know, "you can" doesn't means "you should". it's quite adorable but also, creepy xD
so nato can't do much now?
nato didn't want to do anything anyway
nato did move stuff near nato border for nato defence, maybe putin wants some extra assurance that they won't do anything in ukr
Fallout becomes real, huh
ukr agreed to talk with russia in belarus
hmmm
? ..what will they talk about exactly π
they can't still. ukraine couldn't join nato with active border issues - Crimeea. But now it's probably more so in the talks. I don't get what Putin thought he could achieve. All he did was unite all the west and cripple Russia
yeah no idea what he wants
I think he might have started to believe his own propaganda
This seems to be one idea being floated around - that he thought the ukrainian people would actually side with him
with minimum resistance and it'd all be over in a few days
His speech before starting a war explains everything
"Ukraine does not have a right to have an independence"
He thought he is ultimately superior
he really believed that? i guess he really was going senile
i don't know history too well, it happened before?
Thing that bothers me is the nuclear high alert and NK doing more ballistic testing. If Putin gets backed against a wall...
Well, I don't like the probability of that scenario
One thing is for sure. NATO has to squash this quick and put the guy in his place without the whole world burning
covid is bad enough
if a third party, other than nato russia or ukr do something, it will get even more messy
I have a bad feeling this gets messy no matter what happens
and when you operate on that assumption you want to stop the guy with the big guns before he burns the world
then again that opinion could be jumping the gun
pun intended
As long as people like that are in charge, life is a cruel joke for a lot of people.
yet if you threaten to take his power away, he presses the button
One good news, looks like they will be doing peace talks
they better
Dont expect much though, just sayin
on a lighter note, I finally found some good books on the features of visual studio, since 2022 looks like a much nicer ide than before
so far though the best books look like they cover 2019, but at least 2019 books will teach me how to set up the 2022 interface to a degree. Most of the features are going to be the same core stuff, minus the performance jump and probably newer features. But I just installed 2022 last night and it looks almost identical to 2019
SHIP IT
hell yeah, a gnome with tentacles!!!
ehh..
wut
i am not sure about a tentacle gnome, imagine those things moving
Tentacular.
you have quite a talent in making things worse
thank you
disappointment render
I take it his battle buddy beat him at cards or something...
he tried his best, that's all what matters <3
He's pissed off because he lost his hl2 ep2 gnome
maybe he was the guy who opened the door and the tentacle gnome came out and screwed the other guys sister or something
what about Blender geo nodes? Any closer to what Houdini offers for proceduralism ?
how much is houdini?
Yeah I'm looking at it
5000β¬ if you freelance for companies that are big
per year
400β¬ if not
sheesh
God
ok blender it is then
Ask big company to rent you a license :stonks:
i don't think blender geo nodes are there yet, but give it one two more years ig
Blender for good
testing today different procedural things
it has already gotten very useable , the basics should be there anyway
hell I think renderman must be cheaper than that
yeaha workmate bought a plugin I didn't tested at all yet
that gives a link with Blender
UE5 also introduced some kind of a geometry scripting I guess
did they ?
Yeah, I saw some industry professionals going crazy about it on Twitter. But I'm not sure how it looks like
I was checking the procedural citities things today but tbh is a hungry things todo like you need a lot of meshes to make it looks almost some decent
ue4 also had procedural meshes i think, but they were quite difficult to play with
iirc
https://github.com/nortikin/sverchok this is an good alternative to geometry nodes
Altermesh does link between procedural meshes and geo nodes
I was looking today into some tool to generate in blender caves alike Minecraft without luck
someone knows of ?
Welp the Voxel plugin graphs are 400β¬ to start
also the world loads kinds slow still on my SSD for some reason
that's nice
Yea, they're inspired from FlowGraph to create that graph editor
never heard of it but cool π
putin escalating his nuclear deterrence π
his sexual life must be even worst than mine
hi fella jellas!
i wonder what putin thinks before he sleeps π€
Also someone knows if this dudes put somewhere the procedural city tool ?
They said will put these for the community but never found it
No links?
ponki pfp is back to normal
Wasn't Frogwares the one that got duped by their publishers?
πΊπ¦ A week now seems a lifetime ago in terms of the rapidly changing events in Ukraine. I arrived in the country thinking to myself 'Putin isn't mad enough to invade because the Ukrainian people will fight to the death for their country. It will be like Stalingrad.' And yet I was completely wrong to underestimate his insanity. Now as I write this...
the one true madlad does it again
I'm not surprised if they're what I think they are, and their stuff were practically held ransom.
looking at a video of this
the exit ladders from buildings are an over effect on GI
you work hard and run into licence pain, what a life
Reddit is such a Piece of Shit designed website. π
Thank you Reddit for not letting me chat with anyone because you refuse to load....
Reject copyleft, embrace permissive
There is a moment in your life when you end making caves of minecraft in blender
i recall chat not loading before on it for a few days for me as well, a person accused me that i am ignoring them on purpose and using that as an excuse... as if reddit services are trust worthy
i see a horse
DeviantArt is the same.
I hate these websites that has redesigned for optimal mobile experience that screws the desktop experience. Useless.
People actually use the chat features in reddit?
Ugh, DeviantArt is like the worst UI/UX
i usually ask them to move to discord from that, but you know, you need to see if it's even worth doing that first
this tbh
I had ceased continuing to wrote Unreal Engine tutorials on DA becauss how terrible the UX is.
Once. Kinda inconvenient.
i tried signing up for DA from mobile, failed, i haven't used that since
Unfortunately DA is like the heaven for MMD users
(And I try to lure them to use Unreal by writing tutorials that are more approachable to them, low cost machinima makers)
you make ue sound like a cult, mako
What's not to love from UE? π₯Ί
Well, crashes, that's for one.
that's a pain to sculpt
the plugins in beta for ever 
true, UE has grown so much now
I just found out there's a smoking fetish and a dark side of smoking fetish where by particularly like how much damage it causes....
As in smoking cigarettes?
Yeah
There's a reddit for it. YOu got people putting pictures of damaged lungs with the title 'Mmmmm'.
Oh, boy, do I know many people who are heavy smokers
They're putting like posts saying 'Here's a picture of the lung of a guy that died from smoking' or whatever.
Consider that you can buy a pack full of cigarettes everywhere for the low price of around $2
that's an addiction
That doesn't stop them for sure
You can!? They're expensive where I am, like $7 a pack I think.
they also have the harmful effects listed on the pack itself
no wonder some awaken to stuff
Oh, it was (and still is) dirt cheap in here.
have you ever tried it?
cheap pack of smokes here are $17 cdn
I did, before I stopped because of prolonged nausea/dizziness
the real question is why u smoking 
i knew a smoker and their advice was "don't" to me
my reason for smoking is cause I was dumb, and now I'm addicted
I've made some bad decisions in my life, but starting smoking was the worst
i really hope you can get out of it someday
At least I stopped before it's way too late
Though I have less nauseating effect with vape π€
$17 that's a costly pack
if you think smoking can kill easily you are wrong
it will be the worst death ever lol
btw, there should also be a reddit praising smoker voice then, they sound quite, different
it has a unique, crackle to it
I know some heavy smoker who have those kind of voice.
yeah like lil wayne voice XD?
i really thought she would put the cig in it
i don't know what lil wayne sounds like
but probably
I lowkey tempted to make a smoker character lol
@zinc matrix you know how to UV all faces into the same space ?
FWIW I already have a character who drink quite a lot
have to manually in the UV editor. in blender you can move each section
afaik
oh jeebus. yeah dont wanna do that manually
Wish I knew what this meant
the editor freeze
bring it inside and warm it up
How do people in general communicate with their friends now a days?
And why is it always Facebook....
dunno. dont have friends
lol would be quite interesting
"there are no girls online"
Developing a game idea, got enough to start the actual project, but its largely based on a board game right now. Still need to put more of my own spin on it. Should I start the actual project? or continue brainstorming ?
didnt start based on the board game, but after writing a few notes I went "hey, this is awfully similar to X" and ran with it
Wish blender itself had some partition tool
if i was a successful dev i would definitely answer that, but, what are you planning to do rn?
I dunno what game to just play, so, some game dev? something simpler than what I usually try
what if your new take needs too much to change? or what if you can't reach the new-take because you didn't start making it yet?
oh okay
wanna make a gwent sized game. Something simple but fun
idk what gwent is about, but i think i get the feel of what you want
that sounds like it will need quite some planning on gameplay
no wonder you are puzzled
if I need lots of planning, then its already more complex than i'm aiming π
will require lots of play-testing and balancing I think tho
that seems true, so you are just going to dive into the making?
to figure it out better
I'm doing a little more planning right now
oh i see, goodluck ?
heh, thanks π
Is kind of sad if I do a Minecraft clone on UE4/5 but the light features are worst isn't it ?
on ue5 with lumen it might be pretty nice
I don't think so after some tests
can it be worse than minecraft's lights
why not?
:D
I mean the Minecraft RT
Blender still computing
seems like it don't likes 90k faces
That octonyan
Slow day today, what do people do on Sundays!? I thought Sundays people would be more active.
I dont know what "people" do.
what do you do on Sundays?
take over the world pinky and brain and,over,pinky,brain,take,pinky and the brain,world,the
okay drop the minecraft graphics style
too much for Blender
getting out for new ideas
yeah, I'm going out for a thinking stick
add a few gnomes
it's a lucky charm, render speed would increase
You really gnome your stuff.
!8ball is Daekesh a dad
@deep copper, :8ball: Reply hazy, try again.
!8ball is Daekesh a dad
@deep copper, :8ball: Outlook not so good.
!8ball is that because he's a dad
@mossy nexus, :8ball: Outlook not so good.
!8ball Am I your daddy?
@fleet tangle, :8ball: Signs point to yes.
!8ball so is it because he's not a dad?
@mossy nexus, :8ball: My reply is no.
Damn straight.
is it straight
!8ball is it straight?
@mossy nexus, :8ball: Yes.
xD
!8ball do you lie?
@mossy nexus, :8ball: Yes.
it just lied
!8ball was your answer to my previous question a lie?
@mossy nexus, :8ball: Yes β definitely.
!8ball was that answer a lie?
@mossy nexus, :8ball: Without a doubt.
!8ball were you telling the truth about him being a dad?
@mossy nexus, :8ball: My sources say no.
!8ball do your sources ever say yes?
@mossy nexus, :8ball: Outlook not so good.
!8ball come one 8 ball! That was a yes or no question! Do they or don't they? Inquiring minds want to know.
@mossy nexus, :8ball: You may rely on it.
it's definitely bluffing
po po po gnome
gnomes are a good nightmares resource always
i wonder if there are pillows of them
I watched a youtube video showing the lifespan and death of a one celled organism the other day and this reminded me of that
it was haunting
it's a thing!
these aren't gnomes though
what is that then
I don't think there is a proper english word for them
they're scandinavian in origin
idk the background
ah they're called brownies maybe
Games with the tag "Waifus" get sales only because of that ?
sex sells
add another saying "No Waifus" - cover both ends of the market.
clever, covers the people buying on the word "no" and on the people buying the word "waifu" π
I'm looking at a lot of marketplace content as is on steam
never heard of those, but they sound helpful
Epic don't sell adult content on marketplace do them ?
you'd have to curiously browse folklore to find stuff like this
admittedly I knew of brownies but I never thought they were the same as nisse/tomte
you did this?
I'm much more schooled in irish mythology
i wonder why only gnomes got popular
Explosions, gore, general killing of things. Scantly clad characters.
every country got their own version of gnomes perhaps
because GNU
I mean characters
goblins
brownies are sub type of goblins too btw
perchance
https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/kaoru oh I think is this ones
not really, at least not the modern goblin interpretation
so the old goblins were more fairy like?
Modern goblins work in banks, apparently.
haha because they like gold?
No, because it happened in Harry Potter π
all of these have have been modernized heavily by D&D
harry Potter had goblins? wha
the old fairytale versions are different
i really don't recall what happened in Harry Potter, maybe it had them
yup, the original faery tales were brutal.
oh yeah, it changed a lot of monster interpretation
used to be everything was more or less a type of human
so let's see
that's so sad
If I do a generic game β’οΈ but I use that characters give a 100 boost in sales
given steam examples
how about hard smart?
speaking of lewd games selling, the amount of hornyposting even on google image search for kobolds is insane
i don't know where that might go, but definitely it will go places
that's based on the old searchs
i blame the furry and similar fandoms
I use incognito

not gonna have some search history staining my pc
Oh man Discord block me the image hahaha
@brisk ether ping appreciated
same, I don't use it only for stuff i need to find again, otherwise it just makes going through history impossible
nice feet
brownei?
@verbal junco Are you also skilled on narrative/dialogue design? π€
I've written narratives before, sure. I'm strongly against cringe or boring dialogue as well
and there is a LOT of cringe dialogue out there
Would you prefer a CSV based dialogue creating workflow like this or a visual tool?
if you have to knock out like 50 lines of dialogue it's definitely easier with a spreadsheet
you can always reference the spreadsheet in some construction after the fact
Have you ever heard about Valve's dialogue system or 'criterion-fact based' dialogues?
I'm working on a similar implemention for UE but confused about best workflow preference
theres a dialogue plugin on the marketplace that is node-based, and it works great. recently did some fixes for ue5 too
If you haven't, it's simply utility selection which involves a few conditions and facts (context like 'who' , 'when, 'how') and selects best dialogue
I saw some but they are mostly for RPG games
I couldnt find one allowing me to create dynamic dialogues
I haven't. I can't imagine anything else but a graph or tree like structure
one way graph too
Do someone remember that game that plays like "portal" and you are a woman with a giant ass in 3 person ?
Tree-like structure makes sense
the one I used had conditions for each node, so you could make it dynamic, but cant remember how much work it required
how do you mean dynamic dialogue?
as in, procedural?
Kind of, yeah
Context of the dialogue is not procedural
Selection of dialogues from table/database and follow-ups are procedural
why are most of them such heavy drinkers lol
northern traditions involve heavy drinking
how else are you gonna keep yourself warm
pull the grass
there are other gnomes right there
what are they for
it is?
yes
i can imagine i guess, what if you lose your mind and do something terrifying
perhaps that's how it started
-> Each event is identified with a tag like onDamaged,
-> when events happen you notify subsystem and every dialogue has conditions like CurrentMap == X, CurrentPlayerHealth < 30 etc.
if conditions passed, system evaluates 'facts'
-> OurCharacter == "Joe" && CurrentHealth < 10 --- NearestAlly == "Zoe" && NearestAllyArmor == 30 && CurrentLevel == "Park"
-> Dialogue that has most facts selected, if multiple dialogues has same amount of facts one of them is randomly selected
That's how it's working at most simple level.
also just because it's taboo doesn't mean it doesn't happen, just that people don't talk openly about it
I had a friend turn alcoholic after he started drinking alone
he's fully sober now
or they forget it because you don't remember stuff after drinks
ah, it becomes a weird habbit
@timber viper I fail to see the difference between your conditions and facts...
but like... realistically, how many dialogue options do you expect to have in that fulfill those criteria?
Conditions must be met, facts just determine how its likely to be selected
Ah ha.
So one is a prerequisite, the other is a score.
Main idea to allow event specific dialogues to happen, it's up to user
I'm just writing the tool
I would make the dialogue select via facts ab ti fuzzy
Or you may have the same dialogue happen 100x in a row.
a bit*
As a reference from Valve's GDC:
Maybe if it was the last played dialogue, -1 fact
just remember that someone will have to write all those pieces of dialogue
and usually it's a question of "is it worth it?"
But.. isnt that what narrative designers do? π€
UE's reflection system gives you the power of making dialogues only be played for once π
and also remember how likely it is that the player skips over all that dialogue
What if this dialogues are made to play at background, like 'barks'?
Not for RPG like dialogues
if you look at these examples, none of these seem particularly relevant and just serve as examples. if I were making any game I'd probably cull a lot of these down to one or two lines that are fairly generic
just because it's not worth putting the effort into something that will at best be skimmed over by the player
barks usually are an indication for the player that something is happening. the function of the bark is more important than the form
so if you have a stealth game the player needs to know when a guard is alerted and when they have lost sight of the player
how exactly that is written out an VO'd in words matters less
Well, just cut another person off.
so maybe if you have a fully narrative game where every sentence matters, then yeah you'd consider wording more closely
but ultimately you're very quickly going to reach a point where you fulfill the function, add some variation and call it a day
If you have time, would you like to move to #level-design ?
sure just ping me

oh found the game I was thinking before "Haydee"
Hello
Pisses me off that Hinge dating app lists asexuality as being gay.
This is the problem with lumping all these different things under one banner. π
Meanwhile all other apps except Tinder have like a maximum of 5 women on there
Yeah lol.
haha wasn't there a leak a while backrevealing like 98% being male on there
I'd imagine it's more than possible for smaller ones
wyile
why-L
If you spent as much time on doing it as that guy surely has spent you could be!
you are, just havent tried it out yet
ah I see you're an auto of culture as well
someone remember whats the name of that tool to create clothes?
Hugo Boss.

didn't blender had gpu physics?
Last week: "I will not overthink anything on this project. No getting mired in the details. Fast and loose, baby."
Yesterday: "Maybe I will spend all day writing an FBX exporter for blender to save three clicks."
"no I must optimize this placeholder asset before I can work on the rest of the game"

Ya I'm no good at compartmentalizing this stuff
I requested a separate channel for it just now.
I know some people want to vent about it, while others hang out here to get away from the real world stuffs.
human existence IS politics.
this TikTok generation ... π€¦ββοΈ
I am gen x?
we are literally doing it right now; discourse over discourse. Choices are what make poltiical mess. You have yours. We have ours. Telling us you dislike/like something IS political by its nature of choice.

@foggy path my seatbelt was on π
it just going off cause the sensor on passenger seat is broken
And paddles.
There's your side, my side, and the truth.

Though before that I used to brush off it's flawed shithole of a community, thought no big deal. But then it hit me. The UX.
I'll port my tutorials of Unreal Engine for MMD casuals somewhere else
Yeah but they did change the UI about a year and a half ago and made it way way worse.

Not only that, it's also inconsistent in some part of the site
I feel like a freaking idiot just realizing this.. Megascans name comes from scanning real life 3d objects.
LOL what is that comment above.
Not directly above, I mean the dude looking for a girlfriend.
Dude from the Isle Of Mann.
I thought everyone on Isle of Man just drove around in their vehicles at dangerous speeds instead of having any time for romance
Don't get me fricking started with the text editor of DA
Holy crumbles, it's awful for typing tuts compared to Medium or even MediaWiki
I'm tempted to move them to Fandom, but that too have some terrible UX and a resource hog
looks like trumps face.
It looks like a dog doing a sick guitar solo to me.
Does anyone know what arabic walls are made of? Sandstone?
I cant find this online
trying to make like a old era Muslim town
example mirage csgo, or crash cod4
I think sandstones as well, but you can kinda fake it with Mixer, adding sand/yellowed limestone textures on brick wall asset/surface
ill give this a go with some quixel thanks π i thought so, concrete with a yellow orange tint looks weird af.
i just bought 3 middle eastern packages on marketplace and they are all awful π¦ i was better of making the content myself. very mad at this.
holy crap i forgot about this!

I thought UE as a Library is just runtime code embedded as library for other app
that's quite clean bp
!?!?!?!?
search hell blueprint in google
and you might .............. idk
May boomers never change.
it was more about the amount of code then the cleanness.
If it was really Nintendo's fault I'd be wondering why they are still recruiting Gen X. Gen Z's preferred company is Samsung.

Gotta see what will happen with the world economics.
I'll wait until it's weaker than 1 IDR.
Years before I born, IDR used to be quite strong. But then the local "great depression" of 1997/98 happens, Trisakti incident happen, en masse racism, mass riots happen all over the country to put an end to then-president Suharto's government who ruled for 32 years.
I had a hunch similar pattern will occur.
If not change in leadership, at the very least decline in exchange rate due to mass blockade from world trading
Weren't you from south-east asia or something? What is the common folks / governmental view about all this shit? π€
On the "great depression"? Or ongoing Russo-Ukraine war?
Latter.
I didn't check much local news/press releases, but for common folks, I think it's pretty much business as usual.
Ah, nobody cares.
I haven't found any major press release from governmental spaces, aside from embassies, and homies in Ukraine who are being transported back home
I guess you are following the China tactic - no any support for either side.
And, if people are used to listen to the government, nobody will bath an eye.
Well, in some extent, the working of the goverment kinda copies China, minus the communism. (that alone is a history lesson can of worm)
is putin holding russians hostage ?
also, wouldn't the russians want to take out the deposits or whatever then
Yes and Yes.
Tho hostage no, just doing stuff which is destructive to everyone.
Also guys over there try to take out, but they are not allowed much.
If they are allowed, it will be a total collapse.
i recall that Germany had a similar situation during ww i think, or was that france during the revolution? idk but when people took those out it was a disaster
putin is getting suicidal
i like how banking is just a big gambling machine rn
The whole system is an illusion, but there is nothing better.
the system is flawed
nft comment incoming
Can only hope more innocent Russians able to fight against the war from the inside.
decentralised everything except cities π
don't even need cities with remote work
all citizens will get arrested and jailed, no trade from outside, nothing happening inside, guaranteed collapse
cities are great for generating profit for shareholders though π
Also they are very energy economical.
shorter wires to the stock market
Or just heat your butt on the wall where your neighbour put his oven.
city nft
I mean, back then Indonesians unite and able to yeet Suharto out of his corrupt New Order command, after 32 years of manipulated elections. Then the Reformation era begins.
I hope innocent Russians will prevail from the inside fight like that.
No
Maybe a bot? π€
But I'm going to take that to my VM
scam
let's hope so
<@&213101288538374145> what we should do?
π¨
Dont click on shortened links unless you trust the person
Oh, to that the new bots
I will cuz my mates give the best meat spinners
meat spinner?
lol
The link goes directly to a download, which is a 6.4 MB zip file
My cybersecurity fetish is soo tingling
that sounds bad enough
just open it in a virtual machine Β―_(γ)_/Β―
6.4MB... HL3 confirmed
I have VMs, each with unique names. Don't ya worry
you can boot up a gpu enabled ec2 windows box for a bit of petty cash for an hour
safe enough to do that on amazon's infra
lol
okay ,
steam machine > virtual machine
i remember another similar link here a while back, perhaps it's the same thing
So I traced the URL and it links back to, get this
gitvhub
hidden sky, weird game name
Oh, is there an account associated?
looks like an entirely legitimate domain not intended to mislead you into thinking it's github
I prefer mithub
birbhub
atleast it looks better than discord names
considering you can do utf8 domains why not just get gΓthub
or glthub
They from poor country, trying to rob/lie. Maybe don't have an access to utf8
someone actually owns gΓthub.com but it doesn't go anywhere π€
how much do they even get from these?
Might be for the next bot?
zΓ²mg
gets? who?
the scammer, how much do they even earn from this?
who knows
!8ball will the next bot be superior?
@pearl elk, :8ball: It is decidedly so.
must be more than zero because they keep doing this
I'm assuming it's just a method of getting botnet machines
what's that for?
secretly cryptomining on your pc.
guess that's what the hidden sky is
Yesterday some colleagues from Kyiv sent me a link for organising a botnet attack.
Never knew such stuff existed.
did you do it?
@cursive crypt I got the same link thingy.
Oh? Hmm... It is a personal choice really. I don't dare to say.
haven't channers been using stuff like LOIC with volunteers for ages
yes, it is
Oh boi, that was deeper juicier than I thought, I'll commence some in depth analysis after dinner
i am surprised, it has folders that actually look game folder like, roughly
Steals assets from scammers
Is it an actual game π€
I don't think so
6 Mib?
maybe a game they were working on before then realised scamming is easier
lol
It is specially tailored zip for game devs.
i wonder how many game dev servers they hve invites to
probably atleast 100, to make it worthwhile
But the whole thing is in 6 MB
Not even demoscene prods are that sussy wussy
it could be some html5 game stuff, that has low size right
they never said what they used to make it
or what it targets
Did you try running TotallyNotAMallware.exe yet?
no platform or anything
Not yet, I gotta fix my VMs first
I accidentally deleted the pristine snapshot
Ah
It is also important to Approve Admin access when asked π
