senior diapers?

pearl elk

and fake tan

oblique cloak

I mean the code works, IF you know what are you are doing and understand what values need to be properly edited to actually make the movement correct. I spent almost a week with this code editing decimals trying to figure out the perfect values. I would play a clip of cs movement and time it correctly and with HAMMUER i would take the map and run to the same spot or bunny hop there, and try air strafing.. this WAS NOT a fun process. lol

pearl elk
#

just remember to buy a decent set of golf clubs

robust shale
#

Well, the problem building this kinda game is crtiical mass. So if you don't have sponsorship from NVidia, Valve, and lรถksoppa you're screwed. The best thing Valve did was keeping CS stabile, until they didnt

celest musk
#

...k is?

pearl elk
#

no one wants to be the bottom

quasi mantle
oblique cloak
#

i can actually play a game in the editor now

pearl elk
#

Even big publishers have trouble getting these sorts of games off the ground, Hyperscape, Knockout City, plenty others

oblique cloak
#

hyperscape was a cashgrab xD

pearl elk
#

you still have to fund the servers, not like you can run a huge MP game from your basement

oblique cloak
#

oh for sure

pearl elk
#

thats more to do with why games seem to offer less and less is because server costs are going up and up with all the competition

#

when a big company like Ubisoft cant afford to keep a stats server up you gotta wonder

oblique cloak
#

this is why when i am done with my game im taking a demo right to microsoft

robust shale
#

oh man, hyperscape was no small investment. Wasnt that like Ubisoft and millions of dollars? Must've suck to've been on that project. Looked like a cool game just one or two choices from a hit

pearl elk
#

Oh if you have a good original game Im with you, totally smash it

oblique cloak
#

maybe even netflix

#

lol

#

there looking for new things

pearl elk
#

but riding on another games success then pointing at something else as a cashgrab.... yeah I dunno

#

I hate being a realist sometimes ๐Ÿ˜›

oblique cloak
#

hey man my game is not cs or valo just saying ๐Ÿ™‚

#

its got its own vibe

pearl elk
#

it was more to the topic about making a Quake clone not directed at you specifically ๐Ÿ™‚

oblique cloak
#

Ahhh

#

i felt personally attacked there for a second lol

regal pecan
#

I'll just have to make a quake clone with an original idea just to spite Mons.

thorn sun
#

any of you guys working on a project?

pearl elk
#

I was there when there were zillions of Doom clones

oblique cloak
pearl elk
#

some were really good, others... not so much ๐Ÿ˜›

oblique cloak
#

we dont do game dev here

regal pecan
#

Modern Doom or ye olde Doom?

thorn sun
#

sheesh

pearl elk
#

modern Doom is a clone ๐Ÿ˜‰

#

they are hardly the one who invented the air dash

thorn sun
#

yall excited for the new "mw2"

oblique cloak
#

no

regal pecan
#

no

thorn sun
#

wow ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

oblique cloak
#

no one wants to play a asset remade game.

pearl elk
#

funny how Shadow Warrior did it before Doom... but Doom did it before Shadow Warrior

#

the circle has been completed

regal pecan
#

I'm excited for the next three free remakes of Dune II.

#

(Seriously though. Please stop remaking Dune II.)

pearl elk
#

Spice Wars

oblique cloak
#

the NEW mw2 reminds me of the people on reddit with the matrix demo, LOOK MA I MADE A GAME!

thorn sun
#

Is Dune II the same as Dune the movie?

pearl elk
#

Herre I was gonna make Crocodile Dune dee

#

says very positive so far ๐Ÿ˜›

#

tbh Frank Herbert sucked at writing combat

oblique cloak
regal pecan
#

At least it's not a Dune II remake.

oblique cloak
#

how about them crackers.

#

lol

pearl elk
#

Command and Duneker

regal pecan
#

It's a shame they went with the new Dune aesthetic, although at least the ornithopters are thoptery.

pearl elk
#

yeah that was one of my favourite bits of the new one

#

I do like me a good competitive RTS which isnt all about how fast you can click

#

actually I do like me an FPS which is about the same too hehe

#

Doom Eternal is just so cool, I love that you die and youre not thinking "I didnt aim or have a high enough % accuracy" youre thinking about how your strategy failed you and what to do to change it up

foggy path
#

Not when you play the same room for the 50th time on nightmare alex

pearl elk
#

Id ask why you arnt playing Devil Daggers then ๐Ÿ™‚

#

shoulda bought an AMD

regal pecan
#

Or someone was recording with Microsoft screen recorder.

oblique cloak
#

i gots a thread

#

its trasho

#

poopy.

#

but good for having 900+ apps open

#

and ue never dips below 120 fps ๐Ÿ™‚

regal pecan
#

"trasho"

oblique cloak
#

yeah

#

just invented that word

#

keyboard is broke

#

cant type like a normal person

pearl elk

melange

tall plume

#

regal pecan
#

Given the praise, trasho sounds desireable.

tall plume
#

post your best sad crying gif

pearl elk
#

but I have some feedback'

tall plume
#

the channel ded

#

gone forever

#

how can you give feedback when channel ded?

regal pecan
#

and now there's a forum channel

oblique cloak
#

i has the feedback now

tall plume
#

๐Ÿ˜ฎ

regal pecan
#

Best start a "First" thread

#

before I do.

tall plume
#

Forum channels?!?

pearl elk
#

whats a forum?

oblique cloak
#

naw he is talking about discord thread

tall plume
#

that's a forum

oblique cloak
#

that weird approach of things.

#

WOAH

#

thats pretty nifty

oblique cloak
#

can we just go back to teamspeak?

#

lol

slow gyro
#

ICQ it is

#

Or even some irc

oblique cloak
#

hahah

pearl elk
#

BBS

slow gyro
#

Dig up that msn messenger

oblique cloak
#

My AIM dm's are open

slow gyro
#

My skype is ready..

#

Oh wait that shit still exists

#

-_-

pearl elk
#

Does anyone use steam chat?

slow gyro
#

Pretty sure some do.

#

For like groups and such

pearl elk
#

I use it for DMs but voice we always end up using discord cuz it works better

slow gyro
#

The only messages in mine are game invites lol

tall plume
#

xfire was the best chat app

#

xfire and winamp

oblique cloak
#

oh for sure

tall plume
#

voice chat with the homies on ventrilo

spare glade
#

XFire was fun

#

So long ago lol

robust shale
#

If I wanted to talk I'd call my mom more than 1.5 times per years

pearl elk
#

remember having to press actual buttons to call someone

#

or the real struggle, spinning the dial

spare glade
#

Ehhh

#

lol

robust shale
#

Ah yes, I remember when calling someone was like a national treasure spinning puzzle

pearl elk
#

kids these days just dont have a sense of adventure

oblique cloak
#

would be cool if you could pop out threads forums what ever it is in discord

robust shale
#

That's why we just scooter them into Kiruna, Give the siblings one knife and the first one coming home wearing antlers wins

#

I wish that was a joke

#

I might still be a ... op? whats it called, a @ ?

oblique cloak
#

someone should create an app called discord mini, a pop out chat client instead of this huge one like xfires.

robust shale
#

Only been 20+ years

#

I mean, I seem to remember being most at #quake.se

robust shale
#

for natural rasons

oblique cloak
#

you said op

#

i had too xD

#

even tho thats an AWP

pearl elk
#

hello operator, Id like to make a collect call

robust shale
#

CS is such a camper game

pearl elk
#

thats what the C stands for doesnt it

oblique cloak
#

i stalk my prey in pokemon

robust shale
#

I mean... more or less

oblique cloak
#

and PPOOF pokeball.

robust shale
#

Yes, and my Valheim co-op friend complains I don't sort "our chests correctly"

oblique cloak
#

it its not PVP the game is not worthy.

robust shale
#

I really don't get it, the killer feature for any survival game is that it'd open up any adjacent chests

#

See whats what, sort it, dads your uncle

oblique cloak
#

id naked raid you in ark in a second. all stats on speed.

robust shale
#

Ark seems like a game made by some aspie Unity dev that got too much encouragement

oblique cloak
#

great concept bad design.

robust shale
#

Exactly

oblique cloak
#

that tek stuff is just to much for a primative lifestyle.

robust shale
#

Trust me, find a great friend or two and play raft with them. Tha'ts going to be better than 20+ years of marriag

#

(In theory)

oblique cloak
#

I loved atlas too... to bad that failed.

#

raft another great concept, really awful gameplay.

robust shale
#

Oh god, so scammy

#

But good premise

oblique cloak
#

the procedural islands where cool tho

robust shale
#

What? I really enjoy Raft in coop? the worst thing is that its kinda close ended and story driven, but what are you going to do

pearl elk
#

Im so glad I played survival games, now I know how to make a stove from bamboo

oblique cloak
#

i thought it got to boring way to fast. it followed the same structure everywhere you went.

robust shale
#

You really have to play against a friend who bounces nice off you ๐Ÿ™‚

oblique cloak
#

or the devs could of made it mp and had each people living in a quadrent building up there island

#

think of millions of islands

#

muhahaha

robust shale
#

My best memory is me and my friend jumping from Balboa Island, trying swimming arouid, I barely made it and had to fire up our old clunker to go fetch him

#

Still: Deep Rock Galactic, Valheim, Raft --> Scandinavia baby!

oblique cloak
#

you got to try atlas

#

just once.

robust shale
#

UUUH

#

I talked to some sycophant on reddit and it really didnt endear me to the concept

pearl elk
#

Im waiting for the next Forest game

robust shale
#

I mean Rust, Rust I like. I mean I hate it. But its real. Everyone is a russian trying to kill you and you just try to survive

oblique cloak
#

LOL atlas is so dead

pearl elk
#

I really dig the mutant thing

robust shale
#

Yeah, Atlas giving off real bad vibes

oblique cloak
#

61/9450 wow who is paying for this arm and leg server

pearl elk
#

someone with no arms or legs

robust shale
#

Seven Days to Die... not so bad these days. Only took 8+ years

#

Yeah, its about to relese

#

SOns of the forest or something

#

Feels veeeeeeery Unity

#

But ppl love it so what do I know

oblique cloak
#

i dont know how people can dev in unity.

#

it feels like i am using id tec 3

zinc matrix
#

ah yes ark

oblique cloak
#

yeah

#

i made my first game on it

zinc matrix
#

the game that's needlessly punishing

#

both intentionally or not

oblique cloak
#

your right, it depends on the type of game

zinc matrix
#

ksp is a cool game made in unity I guess

pearl elk
#

tbh I probably play more Unity games than Unreal

zinc matrix
#

it just works

robust shale
#

It's very interesting. They thing Unreal is super compliciated, which to be fair is kinda true, but then again blueprint, tools , stability and free resources are so much better. I swear half of then are just on Unity to Unity meetups and stroke their egos

zinc matrix
#

๐Ÿค“ I'm making a 2d pixel art cosy wholesome game in unity with very cool lore (that's the defining feature trust me guys)

robust shale
#

Like, I'm I'm certainly one of the planets most experienced c# developers and really wanted to make unity work, but no. It's not a really product anchored in any really products

zinc matrix
#

got scammed

#

there is no escape from tarkov

#

0/10

robust shale
#

I mean I guess, they shoehorned it in with a lot of support from Unity for being a selling point, and still being barely as good as Unreal

#

They got so much custom support

oblique cloak
#

absolute trash.

#

one of the worst games i have ever played

robust shale
#

Yeah, going to be interesting. Unity does have a niche for 2d and mobile games. But have you seen the channels lately? It's like a gym two days after NYE. Unity must be hemorrhaging

oblique cloak
#

fps drop, lack of audio, rendering issues

#

Ai navagation

#

lack of an actual store

slow imp
#

lol

robust shale
#

Unreal Engine does suck a lot... except when you touch any part thats in actual production like Fortnite. Where its like 1000% more mature than Unity. Luckily thats a pretty big part

oblique cloak
#

it was popular because of its complexity.

#

having the idea of using that many things was intriguing.

zinc matrix
#

I've seen people lose their sanity playing that

oblique cloak
#

bags,barrels,mags, disassembling.

robust shale
#

Well, you going to build an indie game or AAA game? You going to cobble something together or use Subsystems/Gameplay features? You going to invest in learning Control rig? Niagara?

oblique cloak
#

i dabbled into control rig too

robust shale
#

Unreal UX is... not great... but at least everythings there. Unity is like a company playing being a professional company but have never delivered

#

Frankly we should be sacrificing chickens on a bonfire having access to so much great stuff for free

oblique cloak
robust shale
#

Same, I started with Unity for quite a while, since I had experience in c#... but just saw so many managerial anti-patterns that I'd rather do c++ in Unreal... Which is painfuil but at least I know its good and actually used by real companies

robust shale
regal pecan
#

As I hear it, you'd need to make the chickens eat the dead ones.

robust shale
#

I really tried finding some good resources for animal behavior trees but not super much around

#

:/

oblique cloak
pearl elk
#

someone hasnt played Carnivores ๐Ÿ˜›

robust shale
#

I mean, tbf you dont need much. I think for instance Valheim is pretty simplistic

oblique cloak
#

i can never make simple.

#

something is wrong with my brain

robust shale
#

๐Ÿ™‚

pearl elk
#

simple is hard

regal pecan
#

Simple is just complex with extra steps

robust shale
#

Did you see the last of us 2 gdc talk. Had a lot of good stuff about positioning and behaviour

Im having a fantastic night!! Got woke up by a police siren not two hours after falling asleep and now my GPU has crashed!!!

#

Second time in 2 weeks!! Thx FPD! FICKERS

primal summit
#

I'd rather be awoken by them busting someone, such as that time they tazered a guy in front of my mailbox, than woken up by someone shooting up or breaking into my house

#

so much better to be woken up by sirens than drivebys, trust me

cursive crypt
#

omg, I just realised how bad is the YouTube management of playlist.

zinc matrix
#

tbph im just realizingn how much work this game dev hobby is

#

like. my vehicle simulation. i need to animate certain things. implement gunnery. provide particle effects. textures. add detail to the vehicle. all for one vehicle!

#

add sound fx

#

and i am horribly slow

#

on the upside drive simulation is incredibly good

zinc matrix
#

that's something

#

making the first vehicle takes a lot of work

#

but once you start making a sort of system it gets easier

Where's the thing where you can turn down the size of the icons in the viewport?

unborn lotus

It's in the settings!

sage ermine
#

I'm going to need you to be a little more vague

pearl elk
#

Why do the minus still have T+ logos

sage ermine
#

EXACTLY

#

SHOULD BE T-

cursive crypt
#

No colors too, something is wrong with the rendering.

sage ermine
#

I'm only rendering the red channel to get a better frame rate

cursive crypt
#

Not enuf to change the icon size tho. It is only for quantum galaxy brains.

sage ermine
#

HELP ME ELON ONE KENOBI

But quantum galaxy brains are smaller

I'd send a message via princess leia, but i HEARD he had a girlfriend already

Not to flex but it's my birthday

Hmm 5.0.2 will be big

sage ermine

how so?

it'll have all the things

#

I heard they were putting tesselation back in

pearl elk
#

but my nanites

cursive crypt
#

Well, it has uses despite nananananaites

#

But, I dunno.

sage ermine
#

nah I'm janglin your jills

sage ermine
#

Seriously, I can only imagine that couldn't get lumen going with it or something, so rather than work the problem they just ditched tesselation

sage ermine
#

it was a real kick in the nuts for me with eden... can't say I haven't thought more than once about changing to unity because of it

pearl elk
#

lumen seems to have alot more limitations than nanite

cursive crypt
#

Frankly, I miss tess only for the landscape components. Tho, I haven't also dug for workarounds.

pearl elk
#

I still dont like landscape ๐Ÿ˜›

#

I dont like the way the tool works how its all buried in a subcontext

cursive crypt
#

Which tool? ๐Ÿค”

pearl elk
#

landscape

cursive crypt
#

uuh

#

It is a mode?

cursive crypt
sage ermine
#

you... don't know what landscape is?

cursive crypt
#

Who is you?

sage ermine
#

NI

sage ermine
#

Anyways, so I got a bunch of problems fixed on my terrain stuff...

#

no more gaps

#

but I can't push the res any higher than this without dropping under 100fps

#

which is why losing tesselation was such a kick in the nuts

pearl elk
#

hmm that doesnt seem right, 100fps isnt very high

sage ermine
#

procedural mesh component ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

cursive crypt
#

The terrain?

sage ermine
#

yep

#

100-120

cursive crypt
#

Hmm....

#

Runtime changes?

sage ermine
cursive crypt
#

... is what you want?

cursive crypt
sage ermine
#

I already got through that facepalm

#

was creating meshes everytime instead of falling back to just updating them when they only moved

sage ermine
#

project has been real slow this year, doing a lot of music stuff...

pearl elk
#

so umm, does this scene have the RT GIs

sage ermine
#

got covid now though so guess I'm doing UE5 for a week or to

#

yah it's ue5

pearl elk
#

procmesh wont bake into distance fields though right

#

which means you loose lumen so you could turn it off ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

sage ermine
#

you can see the limits of lumen here

#

not real concerned about that to be honest, I'll just do a distance based brightness boost to make the non lumen stuff match the lumen stuff

#

we're just starting a long weekend here too, so I should get a bunch of stuff done ๐Ÿ™‚

pearl elk
#

Labor day

sage ermine
#

yep

#

aight fine cultured gentle persons, I'm going to go and practice my coma impersonation

pearl elk
#

but wheres my 5.0.2

pearl elk
#

there really needs to be a mirror tool, watching these clips of people modelling in the engine they always have to reposition after a 180 rotate

mossy nexus
#

There is a mirror tool

pearl elk
#

yeah but its obviously not easy to use

mossy nexus
#

Or people are unaware of it

pearl elk
#

people at Epic included it seems

#

not like Im watching just any ole joe, watching state of unreal ๐Ÿ˜›

oblique cloak
#

I just learned you can dissolve vertices and edges...

#

where have you been all my life?..... hiding behind a delete button >_<

slow imp
#

I gotta check what models people are making in UE

#

@deep copper :3

pearl elk
#

Material generators when\

#

maybe I can do that with an editor script

#

give me a set of instances in this gradient range ๐Ÿ˜›

#

save me alot of dynaMICs

cursive crypt
#

Hmm.. wut?

pearl elk
#

well instead of having to generate all the materials in a BP I could just generate out some actual instance assets

#

so then Im just randomly selecting an integer instead of doing this whole generation junk

#

I'll call it Alchemist ๐Ÿ˜›

#

kinda looking forward to seeing if I can do something like Apophysis too where you get generation lines and you can click on a generation to pursue it further or maybe trying to blend lines so you get this more genetic type procedural manipulation technique... shh dont tell anyone they'll steal my amazing brains

#

what could be even cooler is something like, I have this procedural mesh I made and I have this quixel megascan... show me their babies

timber viper
#

@verbal junco any more videos like this you can send?

slow imp
#

Lol

verbal junco
timber viper
#

Dunno, just the enlightenment part amazed me. I rarely earn a new perspective after watching videos

pearl elk
#

I really like this idea thats been going around about having AI impart a style so modelling a tree then applying a stylise filter or a photogrammetry look filter. This way you have heaps more control over look dev later in the process

slow imp
#

Wonder when A.I will make fun video games

pearl elk
#

if AI can do more work on the art it'll save me heaps of money

timber viper
pearl elk
#

making fun video games is the easy part for me ๐Ÿ™‚

verbal junco
pearl elk
#

Id waste too much time out in the field collecting photogrammetry and not making fun games otherwise. Quixel etc is amazing but its only a small sample of the larger world let alone universe

pearl elk
#

nothing on the scale of pros thats forsure

slow imp
#

how much was yours?

timber viper
verbal junco
pearl elk
#

$1500

slow imp
#

seems like a fair price for it

#

does it come with software?

pearl elk
#

I think it uses open source software, I dont have time to use it lol

slow imp
#

are you still versatile with 3D modeling?

pearl elk
#

I got a 3d printer I barely use too

slow imp
#

same lol

#

used it like 3 times

pearl elk
#

I thought I might use my 3d scanner for my car work since Im building a custom body kit

#

but nope, traditional techniques are so well thought out its not required

#

turns out its easier just to grab a cheap bonnet or boot off another car of the same model and just free hand ontop of that using foam

mossy nexus
pearl elk
#

getting design down to a T, is that like making the perfect programming language? ๐Ÿ˜›

#

Looks like World Creator will be getting a tiled mesh export function. Now that could be useful in UE5

A physics processing unit (PPU) is a processor specially designed to alleviate the calculation burden on the CPU, specifically calculations involving physics. PhysX PPUs were offered to consumers in the forms of PCI or PCIe cards by ASUS,[17] BFG Technologies,[18][19] Dell[20] and ELSA Technology.[21]

I dont even know what a hot reload is

deep copper
#

it's fun to watch things break

pearl elk
#

it implies the existence of a cold reload

timber viper
#

Some company develops an engine

deep copper

probably on pc, not there for Android, apparently there's a shortcut to not mention while replying though, i think ponki said so

pearl elk
#

I do whatevers reliable

timber viper
#

sshh

#

I thought of hot reload

pearl elk
#

what if there were some sort of visual scripting language you could use so you didnt have to reload the engine?

deep copper
pearl elk
#

whatever youre eating its not gonna be hot ๐Ÿ˜›

timber viper
#

I care about my CPU ok

deep copper
pearl elk
#

make a script that recompiles your code as soon as you quit the engine

timber viper
#

1970s FORTRAN right

pearl elk
#

nah thats backwards

#

cuz you have to quit to compile ๐Ÿ˜›

#

I love pressing compile and having it rebuild the entire engine for a 1mb dll

#

I cant think of a better way to spend my time

deep copper
#

atleast you get a reason to procrastinate

pearl elk
#

why do you think Im always in here chatting

#

if I were doing more BP I wouldnt have so much free time ๐Ÿ˜›

deep copper
#

oh yeah, did you finish your bricks?

pearl elk
#

Ive finished part of em, was trying to do the geometry script but it wasnt working for some reason

deep copper
#

ah nice nice!

pearl elk
#

I came up with some more cool ideas too, oh and it turns out my box component cutter tool works on the spline bricks by default

#

I do the cutting on the array after its all modified so its just magic

deep copper
#

๐Ÿ˜ฎ ๐Ÿ”ฎ

#

that's real good now

pearl elk
#

getting there, it only supports the tri grid type pattern atm though

#

for bricks there really needs to be herringbone too

#

so I gotta see if theres a way I can make a loop delegate to tweak the pattern generation

pearl elk
#

hmm not a bad idea, maybe I could use Epics CitySample building language as inspiration for a pattern gen input

deep copper
#

if it makes it quicker and the user would actually use it, sure!

pearl elk
#

well Im trying to avoid having a heap of different classes for each different method, if the pattern is XZ or XY, if its tri grid or poly grid etc

ocean parcel
#

sup how are my fellow eggy bois?

#

eggy bois 4 lyfe am i wight? ;D

deep copper
pearl elk
#

well as I understand it Epic made a language that describes how building pieces are constructed

#

overkill for something like what Im doing but maybe I can take a simple string formula for the generator rule

deep copper
#

yeah, you can probably use a simplified version of that then

#

no need to spend time doing something gigantic xD

#

you already spend enough compiling

pearl elk
#

yeah I hate writing code which isnt generic, why have 20 slightly different versions of the same generator when I can just give an input string and let that define how the generator runs

#

yeah but the issue is the user then has 20+ options to wade through every time they want to make a generator

#

my code isnt awesome, its pretty basic math

#

isnt that just GAS? hehe

#

the equations for these patterns are well known though, its nothing new

#

its like trying to flex on perlin or vornoi

#

my flex has to do with what I do with the patterns after they are generated

timber viper
#

I flex with my const-correctness and R1der

H*

pearl elk
#

one thing that I find interesting is how large the engine is because of domain specific terminology. Say noise for example, you could do that in a texture, in audio or even in 3d and there are probably multiple variations of doing the same thing all around the engine.

umm

My brain was telling me something was amiss, but I don't know what it was.

So, can't you send multiple execution lines to the same pin?

pearl elk

I think its that the merge thinggy immediately wants to split the flow into two paths ๐Ÿ˜›

regal pecan

You can assign a boolean beforehand (it's less elegant but whatdoIknow)

pearl elk

you could you know, just plug them into the same path to merge em

I would lose sleep over this wondering if the need for the boolean implies that I shouldn't actually be merging the execution paths.

You guys are missing the point hellmo
