Tim can we use the game room since you're not using it?

zinc matrix
#

how hard was it for you to get a job in a game company?

deep glen
#

sure, just return it afterwards. I disabled build mode in the room btw

zinc matrix
#

cause I have a feeling like its very hard

deep glen
#

the more you network and make your name known in communities, the easier it gets.

I mean I got my first game dev job through network as well

Become your own boss. Then work like you are possessed by an angry spirit. Then pitch the fruits of that labor to investors like crazy.

I couldnt help it and I went ahead and implemented the same icon joke to my server as well, and many people were both upset and amused by it soon enough lol. but yee nice work on it and funny idea :p

stone saddle
#

...but i wanted to make a 4th person pokemon gta mmorp battleroyale with minecraft building VR with metahumans and hyper realistic graphics

#

can someone give youtube tutorial on how to make this?

I worked as a QA game tester for 2 years should I do that instead?

quasi mantle
verbal junco
zinc matrix
#

because to be honest

#

I dont think ill be able to get a job in game design

#

but I love making games

#

so It could be like a hobby

verbal junco
deep copper
#

you can try #career-chat for in-depth and hopefully very serious answers

dark sequoia
#

yeah i want to make content too, but i really dont plan (nor expect) to work at a company... and one of the reasons is simply due to my location, but other reasons too

quasi mantle
verbal junco
#

QA is very formulaic work. you find something, you write a report, you hand it over and test it when it's resolved

dark sequoia
#

however you dont have to really make a "game" and can instead stick with creating assets for a time

verbal junco
#

game design is the opposite

dark sequoia
#

and worry about developing games at a later point. at least imo

zinc matrix
#

I graduate in a year so I need to get my shit together and pratice stuff and make a serious game in Unreal during the summer for my portfolio

deep copper
#

it depends on what you want to make, the complexity

quasi mantle
#

You can still work as something unrelated to game dev at all, and work on making games yourself on the side

Though your mileage may vary

verbal junco
#

you don't need a finished game in your portfolio, but you need to showcase some good enough work that demonstrates that you can fulfill the responsibilities of the role you are applying for

zinc matrix
#

which game engines do most game companies use?

deep copper
#

but for a job perspective, stuff is about "be prepared to handle everything in your role"

deep glen
#

I like rocks.

quasi mantle

im in a sorta similar situation where I need to start makin' shit relatively soon to sell on the marketplace, preferably within this year. but yeah we'll see what happens..

quasi mantle

# zinc matrix ya but do i need to be good in drawing

then you're not looking to apply as a game designer. but as an environment artist. the first step you should be looking at finding out what role you want to apply as. and then look at what other people are doing

#

environment art is one of the most competitive fields

#

art in general is, but environment art especially

#

so the bar is set high

zinc matrix
#

so is it easier to find a job in game designing?

quasi mantle
verbal junco
zinc matrix
#

ok I think I need to take a look at job posts to see what most of them require

#

thanks for the info guys

verbal junco
#

also generally you should focus on one role

zinc matrix
#

ya Im all over the place rn

verbal junco
#

so if you like doing 3d environments more than doing design you should still try for that, rather than just trying to get into the industry just because you want to get into the industry

zinc matrix
#

everything is fun

stone saddle
#

be generalist enough that you can properly communicate to other people, be specialist enough that you can actually fill a role and big efficient and productive at it.

zinc matrix
#

Im doing blueprint programming in unreal , 3D designs , texturing , modelling

#

I gotta set for something

quasi mantle
#

Indies have generalists out of necessity

verbal junco
stone saddle

pick a role, see what the requirements are, see how that fits into what you like to do

deep copper

#

yeah of course it also helps to have knowledge of creating stuff before releasing stuff, heh...

#

as well as a goal in mind, plans/ideas, etc

rapid fox

I got a check list somewhere. It's in my post it notes pile.

Oh man, having the notification that's baked into the server icon go away when you hover over it was a work of genius. Bravo to whoever came up with that

Not sure of the best place to ask this but for some reason I have a permanent "unread" notification on this server. I've left the server and rejoined and it's still showing up. What's weird is it goes away when i mouse over the server icon and there's nothing that's unread. Anyone ever see something like that?

Through the use of bio data sonification and a eurorack synthesizer we are able to listen in as two blocks of oyster mushrooms talk for perhaps the first time. This is the first time they have ever touched, but as you can see even when I pull them apart at the end of the video they are still able to pass a small amount of signal through grow bag...

can i add Manny if i create a server?

also you'd have to ask the owners here, if you're serious haha

ah... better not do it then

idk why i would create a server

Imagine needing huge amount of gas in one breathe

unreal ether
#

I mean have you seen the price of gas nowadays

#

haha comedy

#

oxygen is expensive tho

#

totally didnt just google it

quasi mantle
#

Also liquid nitrogen > liquid oxygen

#

Also pure oxygen would be super flammable

fleet tangle
#

Actually relatively low amounts of oxygen, compared to nitrogen.

unreal ether
#

smthn like 70% nitrogen iirc

#

hella high

fleet tangle
#

Ya.

unreal ether
#

but no one cares about nitrogen

#

stinky nitrogen

verbal junco
#

nitrogen is largely inert for us

fleet tangle
#

Organisms that perform nitrogen fixation care a lot about nitrogen.

verbal junco
#

but if the atmosphere had more oxygen we'd die so fast

quasi mantle
unreal ether
#

shh dont make nitrogen valid

quasi mantle
#

Ozones are way stinkier IMO

unreal ether
#

just because its insanely helpful for our ecosystem

fleet tangle
#

The atmosphere used to have a lot more oxygen, that's why animals used to be bigger back in the day.

#

They were able to process more oxygen.

verbal junco
#

the issue is that oxygen oxides our bodies. it's basically slowly burning them. very slowly

#

which is one of the theories behind why aging happens

#

if there was more oxygen introduced we'd age faster

fleet tangle
#

Wasn't it that a certain protein strain runs out after a while and our cells stop dividing properly?

verbal junco
#

that may be the reason for less renewal

#

but our bodies do react with oxygen in the same way as a burn

unreal ether
fleet tangle
#

That's the one.

#

Every time they replicate, they get shorter or something.

unreal ether
#

ye

#

lets just stretch em out again, pair of tweezers, a good microscope

ez

fleet tangle
#

I find it hard to believe that oxygen burn causes aging when plants (who respire too) don't suffer from it.

unreal ether
#

i have just solved aging

fleet tangle
#

Maybe we're just more susceptible.

unreal ether
#

i mean we can only process oxygen when its bound to haemoglobin, but i cant see it is "burning" us

#

although i would like to see some sources

#

that would be cool

fleet tangle
#

Burning isn't really burning, it's oxidisation.

unreal ether
#

the only stuff im finding is that pure oxygen is bad

fleet tangle

!8ball Should everyone here definitely watch the State of Unreal keynote?

turbid spindleBOT
#

@bronze axle, :8ball: Outlook not so good.

fleet tangle
#

They just produce more o2 than they consume

bronze axle
#

Welp.

#

I guess the event is going to be a dud, folks. You heard Manny.

#

Nothing to be excited about.

pearl elk
#

state of the unreals, hmm that Tim of year again is it

bronze axle
#

Indeed.

#

Pretty sure it's going to be nothing.

pearl elk
#

didnt they say theyd release the Matrix project as a sample? maybe they'll wait for 5.0 full release for that

bronze axle
#

Well there's a tech talk about the Matrix demo.

#

Two, actually.

#

Wow, I just noticed the keynote will be 1.5 hours.

pearl elk
#

I do miss Carmacks old keynotes, FB has him on too tight a leash

bronze axle
#

Carmack keynotes were indeed classic.

pearl elk
#

I dont think people really appreciated what it took to get up there and talk with a projected voice for so long and stay sane as well. Most world leaders would buckle at that test 😛

bronze axle
#

Yeah. John Carmack makes it look effortless.

#

Like he's chatting with old friends by the fire.

pearl elk
#

yeah but you could tell its not rehearsed because of the nervous tick, everyone does it, some form of umming

bronze axle
#

I like it. Feels more natural.

pearl elk
#

stand up comedians work it out, theyre okay with silence. Im alright with waiting a moment for a smart person to gather thoughts

bronze axle
#

I think I'm just a little jaded from decades of perfectly-rehearsed product announcements.

bronze axle
pearl elk
#

oh man that Overwatch 2 announcement someone linked to me was such cringe, its all "hello fellow kiddos" and its always some old greying dude like Gandalf to the Hobbits

#

then you look at the stats for the game, over 50% of players over 30... hmm

bronze axle
#

Set reminder indeed. 👀

#

As if I'll need one.

pearl elk
#

I will cuz of the time difference

bronze axle

For those who do want a reminder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZLibi6s_ew

Oopf... just saw that I got an appointment exactly when that even starts.

cursive crypt
pearl elk
#

E3 Cancelled 😮

cursive crypt
#

Epic3?

#

Maybe

pearl elk
#

Epic5

pearl elk
#

tbh Unreal Engine is kinda large enough to have its own event

cursive crypt
#

Source code talking

pearl elk
#

trouble is getting the viewers in, for some reason these engine channels dont get many hits on YT

cursive crypt
#

You think? Last time I checked on Twitch it was at least thousands?

pearl elk
#

Epic Gamers Community 😛

#

thousands isnt many when you got ASMR channels getting more subs/views

cursive crypt
#

asmr?

pearl elk
#

whatever that eary noisey thing is called

cursive crypt
#

The YT also have many views, but then it is a game deving, so not so much to begin with.

pearl elk
#

ASMD 😛

cursive crypt
#

Well, certainly a dude stamping post marks will get more views.

pearl elk
#

I think its because the engine channels are perhaps abit too enterprise focused for regular folk

bronze axle
#

Pretty stoked to see Zak Parrish will be there.

cursive crypt
#

Eeeh... how so? Wdym engine channel then? I mean, when they talk say Nanite oor... some tech, there are regular folk.

pearl elk
#

Unreal Engine channel on YT

cursive crypt
pearl elk
#

you would expect it to have billions of views but it barely gets more than an Angry Joe review 😛

cursive crypt
#

eeh, that not fortnite

bronze axle
#

I've also seen him dual-wield beers.

cursive crypt
#

lol

bronze axle
#

Zak did the gold standard tutorial for Blueprint communications in UE4.

pearl elk
#

what was that old site again that Zak did the tutorials on? Im old and forgetful

bronze axle
#

3DBuzz!

pearl elk
#

thats the one

bronze axle
#

I was just going to mention that.

cursive crypt
#

ha

bronze axle
#

So you've been around the Unreal scene as long as I have. 😄

#

Probably a lot of people here who never knew that site. It was great.

pearl elk
#

yeah I used to watch 3DBuzz tutorials

bronze axle
#

I cut my teeth on UE3 with Zak's 3DBuzz tutorials for the UT3 editor.

pearl elk
#

didnt he do some 3d modelling ones as well, I remember some Maya tutorials

bronze axle
#

Yep.

cursive crypt
#

sigh... back then, I was making levels for UT but barely had internet to watch tutorials.

bronze axle
#

I was pretty lucky to have a decent broadband connection back then.

#

Even then, the videos took a lot longer to buffer compared to today.

pearl elk
#

no shaderbits this year

bronze axle
#

And they were much lower resolution.

#

Yeah, I think Ryan is sitting this one out.

#

Hourences will be there, though.

pearl elk
#

probably busy working in his lab 😛

bronze axle
#

Hey look, Mons. It's us.

pearl elk
#

thats the earliest UE build

bronze axle
#

Good old Unreal Engine 0.1

#

You could only make pong.

cursive crypt
#

Frankly, I have no idea pre ue3

pearl elk
#

didnt even have an interface only a console commandline

bronze axle
pearl elk
#

Commander Keen had the bricks game

cursive crypt
#

In fact, I started late. My first pong was on 16 colors.

cursive crypt
#

First mini-game ever.

pearl elk
#

I mainly know of UE1 after the fact, I came in around end of 2002 with UE2. I tried using UE1 but it was unstable on my system so I stuck with Quake engine games

bronze axle
#

Nice, so you met Unreal a bit before me.

#

A good 4-5 years earlier.

#

I started with the UT3 editor, before UDK came out.

#

When they still did Make Something Unreal competitions.

pearl elk
#

I was such a noob back then though, still learning the concepts of coding and modelling

bronze axle
#

Me, too. I learned level design before anything else.

pearl elk
#

yup I entered than MSUC, got honourable mentions, UDK MVP, UE4 Founder and all that jazz I dont get badges for 😦

bronze axle
#

Don't you have the Rocket Beta Tester badge then?

pearl elk
#

yeah thats the only one I do have, I even lost my Answerhub 3 star one whatever its called

#

sage thats the one I think

bronze axle
#

Oh that sucks. Any idea why?

pearl elk
#

just with the forum swap over it didnt transfer I guess

bronze axle
#

Lame. Did you ever reach out to Amanda or anyone else about it?

pearl elk
#

plus I havent been active on AH so Im not that fussed, some people have been active helping for years

#

I used to help heaps more in the UDK days

bronze axle
#

Ah.

cursive crypt
#

I kinda sus these badges. Even on the Online Academy I lost several due to some website changes. Not that I care, but at least I kept a track what I have seen already.

pearl elk
#

No that many old hats around, I know plenty of people from back in those days still using UE theyre just busy with life and work to get in amongst the community. They could be the best people to learn from too

cursive crypt
#

Not everyone is willing to hang around helping. In fact, many don't lol.

bronze axle
#

I'm lucky enough to have a few old hats in the Portland meetup group. I've had some fun conversations there.

pearl elk
#

Im not sure we do UE meetups in my state, its abit of a hike to go to Melbourne but theres a fair few devs there. Lots of indies though so UE is alittle niche

#

Its abit of an odd feeling when most people are making 2D games and youre talking about stuff like metahuman lol

cursive crypt
#

I think there was a section on the Forums which was split by geography. Some people asking there for local buddies.

bronze axle
#

We've worked pretty hard to build a decent Unreal presence here. Lots of devs but Unity has a stronger community here.

#

My partner and I have been running the Unreal meetup here for 5 years or so. We've got a nice group of regulars and a wide range of talents.

deep copper
#

so weird to see pfist here during this time 🤔

bronze axle
#

I'm alone for the weekend.

deep copper
#

want me to come over?

bronze axle
#

Usually I'd be spending time with my partner now before bed but she's out of town.

#

Working on Manny v2.

deep copper
#

so you finally decided to look at the server more , makes sense

pearl elk
#

will old Manny be called Granny 😛

bronze axle
#

I'm usually on Discord all day long.

cursive crypt
bronze axle
#

Will be pretty hard to miss.

deep copper
cursive crypt
#

Huh... I meant, the ones on 5.x are not the latest, but I was wondering.

bronze axle
#

Oh, are you talking about the real Manny? I meant our bot.

cursive crypt
#

Aaah... lol

#

haha

pearl elk
#

lol maybe they'll finally fix Manny to be X forward

bronze axle
#

Let me check.

pearl elk
#

then everyone will have to rotate their character mesh 90

deep copper
#

both manny getting updated nearly at the same time, coincidence ???

cursive crypt
#

It however makes sense to have a refresh, the Slacker's Manny. I mean UE5 Manny & Quinn are coming.

pearl elk
#

Manny5

deep copper
#

MannyV

bronze axle
#

Looks X forward to me.

cursive crypt
#

The right thing to do.

bronze axle
pearl elk
#

thats the character not the skeletal mesh though

bronze axle
#

Oh, but wait.

deep copper
#

such ambiguous arrows

pearl elk
#

skeletal meshes come from Maya I think thats why they like Y forward

bronze axle
#

Ah.

cursive crypt
#

Yeah... that won't ever change I guess 😄

bronze axle
#

The new Manny looks so good.

#

Kind of amazing honestly. I didn't expect such an improvement.

deep copper
#

it's the mascot

bronze axle
#

The animation looks way better and more natural.

pearl elk
#

is it a new rig too?

bronze axle
#

Yes, it uses Control Rig now.

cursive crypt
#

True... Also default IK

#

Maybe it was not washed long enough to form an intelligence. You don't touch holy things.

bronze axle
#

Tim needs company when he's programming.

deep copper
#

the animation really doesn't feel that different to me

#

🤔

#

for protecting human eyes

pearl elk
#

urrrgh that jump loop is still horrible though, thats me being picky though 🙂

bronze axle
#

I think it looks good. Certainly a lot better than the old one.

#

The old jump looked and felt very rigid and floaty.

#

This one has a bit of weight to it and looks more like an actual person.

pearl elk
#

yeah its better but I dont like this jump up type anim, could work for a basketball game but it looks abit odd when the character is doing a long jump. People tend to extend one foot out for reach for that sort of jump

#

jumps are different to falls too 😛

bronze axle
#

Yeah. It's not winning any awards, but it's a much better default.

#

And since it's Control Rig, it'll be easier to tweak as well.

cursive crypt
#

A lot of MP anims have sticky feet too. Bugs me to no end seeing that knee bending.

pearl elk
#

yeah control rig makes it heaps easier to make new anims for

#

Im looking forward to using UE5 properly on projects, I think it'll make a huge difference in productivity

cursive crypt
#

Banging my head now with it.

#

However, it is almost an week w/o any actual work 🚩

climate change

pearl elk

its cuz Jeff Bezos burnt the Amazong

localized climate

some say also the paint white also helps to keep ground cooler instead of black tarmac

I think white disperse the heat away, while black colour absorbs it.

soft night
#

what about blue then?

pearl elk
#

why do people use nm for Newton-metre 😦

deep copper
#

because it's short?

pearl elk
#

its because the silly people measure things in thous

#

so they dont realise nm is actually for nanometre

pearl elk
#

N-m is Newton-metre

that nakes sebse
