Shampoo ad

[pearl elk]

glad Im not there, getting sweat flicked on you from every direction is not fun

soggy windmills

[cursive crypt]

Helps with burning down that belly.

[pearl elk]

thats why all these old metal guys are still fit

that doesnt explain Red Hot Chilli Peppers though

[cursive crypt]

Are there bald metal guys?

[pearl elk]

they could be

[cursive crypt]

I suspect some relation.

[pearl elk]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_heavy_metal_bands

lets check the definitive list for all things metal

[cursive crypt]

uuh... isnt there a python script for that?

[pearl elk]

nope, but if Rose Tattoo are metal then Chillis arnt far off 😛

I think someones missing from that list

oh Rollins Band is "alternative metal" well played

this is like the whole Scottish person being British when the English want to claim them isnt it

hi

Here's my story, Basically I did a haphazard udemy course on unreal c++ because my company wanted to make a AAA game using unreal engine. I did not understand anything in the end, yet I was thrown in into a big project with blueprints (though the boss wanted everything to be written in c++), and I just did the bare minimum.
Like, the team was just me and 3 people and they wanted to make a big game

Due to that, I have obtained a fear for the engine.

I am here, because I might give unreal a second chance. I feel like what my company did was horrible and not unreal's fault.
I wanna learn at a slower pace now.
I hope y'all help me

[ancient ingot]

learn at your own pace is best

start here too https://dev.epicgames.com/community/learning?application=unreal_engine

[carmine frigate]

c#?

[weak scaffold]

habit from unity lel

it's c++

I just felt helpless as I could not find support for unreal, and the deadlines and stuff were piling, they were threatening to fire me

so I could not get time to come here

[carmine frigate]

if they dont care you dont care

did a remote support thing once.. they guy on call was screaming at his wife like a madman all the time

i ended that in 2 days

yea it was really awwkward

[fleet tangle]

Good luck.

[weak scaffold]

I am sorry, I used unity for 4 years, so I accidentally write "unity" and "c#" at times instead of "unreal" and "c++"

I am a fucking idiot

[carmine frigate]

old habits are hard to break, good thing ur old habit allready is copletely broken 😛

[fleet tangle]

What does your company expect when they say AAA game?

4 people aren't going to make an AAA game in under a decade.

Especially if you're new to UE

[weak scaffold]

good graphics, good story, cutscenes, action packed gameplay

[carmine frigate]

closest thing u get is pubg i think

[celest musk]

An Affordable Attempt

[fleet tangle]

That's not gonna happen with 4 people

But good luck.

[celest musk]

depends on the team tho

and the working culture

[carmine frigate]

well u can make a simple high fidelity shooter quite easy

it wil just be more simple

but simple is sometimes better

[fleet tangle]

If you want to copy lyra and change the models and fix the inventory, sure.

[celest musk]

but i think it's more like laying the foundation for an AAA game, where also a huge amount of luck is involved

[carmine frigate]

seemed goat simulator is quite big, never played it tho

[ancient ingot]

aren't we on version 3 of GS ?

[carmine frigate]

rocket league might be close to feasible

[ancient ingot]

Space shooter

[weak scaffold]

the project got dropped and abandoned cus the boss found something shiny and new - "THE METAVERSE"

[ancient ingot]

Chorus, only, not Chorus .. lol

[celest musk]

ah yes, the metaverse, great success

https://tenor.com/view/success-great-job-nice-great-success-great-gif-5586706

[carmine frigate]

mayB try roblox

[celest musk]

ironically i think that's probably working out better 😄

[carmine frigate]

next up .. space mining

[ancient ingot]

Make a new Battlefield style game, cant fuck it up anymore than Dice have 🤣

[deep copper]

it amazes me how many people are sucked into believing that, if they try their hands on the latest and greatest trend without really understanding it, they can make a fortune

[weak scaffold]

I resigned in May and I am serving notice, in 2 months, I am off to canada for masters in game design (digital media)

[carmine frigate]

my singleplayer game is decentralized

invest ur money now

[weak scaffold]

I was told to become the best roblox dev there is

XD

Forget it

I am gonna focus on singleplayer for now

[fleet tangle]

As long as the boss pays the bills, who cares what he wants?

[celest musk]

well... you might care if he is able to pay your bills in the future?!

[fleet tangle]

Well, I am assuming "pays the bills" means he is financially sound for the future.

[carmine frigate]

well MP is an option... its really not that hard in unreal , multiplayer can sometimes do with less art if the idea is good

[ancient ingot]

I know a good shrink 😉

[fleet tangle]

I believe they like to be called small people, Nigey.

[carmine frigate]

also local coop games are sorta rare and thats basically singleplayer logic

[ancient ingot]

woops my bad 🤦

[weak scaffold]

I mean if I make multiplayer, I will do PvE like MH and ffxiv lol

[carmine frigate]

so if you do have a good MP idea id just go for it

ffxiv seems like a ton of work

[deep copper]

if you ship an SP first you would also feel motivated and encouraged, not to mention, you will understand the place you throw the game after, better

[quasi mantle]

Good thing you bail out from that place

[carmine frigate]

mwah.. something like tetris in some new MP form might take off

[pearl elk]

more unity defectors

[quasi mantle]

I mean, this alone is already a massive red flag

[deep copper]

i wonder when the boss would run out of money eventually without any proper output

[weak scaffold]

I am feeling relaxed, yesterday was stressful because Unity fucked up.
I felt betrayed as I borderline simped for unity cus I used it for 4 years and wanted to use it over Unreal lol.

Now, the tables have turned

[quasi mantle]

What can I say except

Welcome aboard

[carmine frigate]

@quasi mantle doesnt seem like a bad idea... plan A was 100% sure to fail

[deep copper]

"too many unity refugees here" they say

[weak scaffold]

the company is the r&d wing of an IT Giant in India

[quasi mantle]

I'm rather pessimistic, so yeah

[deep copper]

so... practically unlimited money too experiment?

[deep copper]

also, why did they hire people inexperienced in ue?

[weak scaffold]

technically, but they give piss poor budget to the department,
100,000 usd for an MMO like metaverse project

[carmine frigate]

sounds like the boss just aiming for investors than switching to new hype terms is a good idea

[pearl elk]

1 manager + 1 sw developer = -1 sw developer

[weak scaffold]

they hired us cus we knew unity, he then said "let's make an epic game on unreal" and made us learn the engine lol

total

[pearl elk]

to be fair there is alot of transferrable skills with game development

[deep copper]

i mean, if i ask a regular person that has nothing to do with softwares.. that checks out

[quasi mantle]

John Riccitiello is an exemplar of this

[weak scaffold]

I mean they are spending 9 times the amount in marketing

lol

[deep copper]

is he someone who did something reckless xD

[weak scaffold]

my manager got pissed and laughed and told me that they know jack shit

[pearl elk]

wow they actually had a marketing budget, this is impressive

I thought the strategy was simply "to go viral"

[weak scaffold]

that's all they do. Hype shit up.
Like bring in celebrities and stuff

[deep copper]

if it's an IT "giant", marketing is all they do right?

[weak scaffold]

like we were making a chess metaverse, so they hired vishwanathan anand

[quasi mantle]

If you think calling devs with sanity "f___ing idiots" is reckless, yeah

[pearl elk]

https://tenor.com/view/keanu-reeves-you-are-breathtaking-beautiful-amazing-wow-gif-23919685

[deep copper]

ah the unity , head guy !

[weak scaffold]

I told my mom about how badly unity messed up

and my brother chimed in

he told me to return to monk unreal

[pearl elk]

unreal is the realist

[quasi mantle]

Did your family know about it from the news?

[deep copper]

it's Unreal but, unity is no longer united

[quasi mantle]

I think Unity's merger with ironSource is on American national TV, being a publicly traded company

[weak scaffold]

no, I just was laughing and said "Unity F'ed up" in my local language (marathi) and my brother said "I know right"

[deep copper]

srp..?

[weak scaffold]

and quite the timing, I am almost gonna be doing my masters in game design research

[quasi mantle]

I guess your brother is a fellow Unreal dev

[weak scaffold]

he wants to do cybersecurity

[quasi mantle]

Oh right, cybersec

[deep copper]

that's, fun..

[noble plaza]

Scriptable Render Pipeline probably

[quasi mantle]

ironSource got bad rep among cybersec folks

[noble plaza]

Oh and version updates of the same pipeline break compatibility

[deep copper]

are they managed by completely seperate branches that hate each other?

[noble plaza]

May just have really liked Single Responsibility Principle heaps 🤷‍♂️

[weak scaffold]

yeah, I am surprised that my friend who's did cybersec in georgia tech did not inform me about this lol

[celest musk]

yea the unity people are fricking afraid of every upgrade

while the usual UE project seems to be converted even with 1-2 days when going from 4.26/4.27 to 5

[noble plaza]

Every major version upgrade is varying compilation issues and random things going purple for no particular reason

Versions changes are so hard they have LTSes

[quasi mantle]

Try upgrading 5+ versions apart tho

[celest musk]

if you avoid using deprecated methods you are already pretty safe

they keep the old stuff around for a few versions, and deprecate it instead of dropping it

but that's just my experience from 4.25 => 4.26 => 4.27 => 5.0 EA

ue5-main on the other hand... specially the people using MassEntity stuff will have fun times updating 😄

nothing to do with the dev branch

[deep copper]

weren't you on the experimental branch?

[celest musk]

5.0 => 5.1 WILL have major changes to mass code

that's the price of using an experimental(?) plugin tho

laura just has no idea what im talking about

[deep copper]

you are so experimental with the engine, why not with me?

[celest musk]

that has nothing to do with dev branch

[deep copper]

atleast not a 🙁

[celest musk]

how many A's?

[quasi mantle]

Speaking of Mass
I've been thinking of implementing ECS for boolets and birds

and fish

[noble plaza]

Boolets?

[quasi mantle]

One weird way of saying "bullets"

[celest musk]

affectionateUser has 2 A's, so if you hire him you got 3

[noble plaza]

The Unity sub is convinced C# will be as fast as C++ with ECS, I was confused. When C++ also implements ECS...

[fleet tangle]

Clearly a boolet is a smol bool!

[noble plaza]

A factoid is a lie, so a boolet actually stores a lie too

[quasi mantle]

[celest musk]

is your name supposed to read as "itchy nose"?

[noble plaza]

C#/C++ being Unity and UE in this case

[quasi mantle]

No, it's a Japanese surname

[celest musk]

doesn't work well tho

[quasi mantle]

But it's a legitimate surname

[noble plaza]

I know Unity has some tidy patented stuff in their ECS system, but it's not going to make that much of a difference, especially with their diminishing engineering

What does faster even mean? Faster compared to what? Why are more AAA games moving to UE than Unity then?

Like UE actors tick slower sure, but Unity actors do literally nothing by default. Soon you have 20 components ticking by the time you're replicating the UE Actor

Not tru what, that Unity's default actors do absolutely fuck all? Look how many character controller assets are recommended for even the most basic of projects in Unity

So Unreal's ones are more full fledged...

MORE full fledged not full fledged

Obviously it's not out ofthe box ready to plop into a AAA game FFS

[quasi mantle]

CryEngine

[noble plaza]

It's O3DE now, sweaty

[quasi mantle]

[noble plaza]

TE also runs towards the beach when a tsunami warning is issued, probably

[quasi mantle]

If you're using Unity 5, yes.

That was the last version I consider Unity is rather good, before turned into the yearly versioning mess

Good thing I jumped ship to UE4 right before that happens

[noble plaza]

I switched when I bought a URP asset on accident, and the creator didn't want to support HDRP lol

I was like, surely there's a better way than just having 3 completely incompatible render pipelines and unique assets for each

I know enough about render pipelines to never attempt it lol, let the smart people do the hard shit

[quasi mantle]

I tried, but it's low priority as it's meant to be demo engine

Writing compute shader for Unreal has higher priority for me than keep working on my demo engine

Yes, albeit admittedly not so straightforward

I'm willing to think doing compute shaders in Unity or Godot would be more straightforward, though I never do that in both engine

[quasi mantle]

For what? My demo engine?

It's OpenGL 4, nothing too special tbh

[flat tangle]

To the scallywag ( i muted you and forgot your name ) who DM'd me asking about how to copy UT and monetize it on the app store, I salute your absolute stupidity, please feel free to ask me more questions on how to break the law, so I can keep proper records next time. 🤣

[cursive crypt]

each render - nft

[quasi mantle]

Let them fought the law
If you know the song, you know who will win

[zinc matrix]

I'm highly sceptical of this article though

wouldn't they still be able to use unreal?

should've just sanctioned 5.0 but let them use 4.27

that's the kind option

[quasi mantle]

It's not like Russia and Ukraine haven't attempted to make their own game engines in the past

[zinc matrix]

Those slavic games have to run on something right?

[quasi mantle]

Though I know for certain 4A made their own engine for Metro series

[zinc matrix]

yeah

[quasi mantle]

GSC used their own engine for STALKER before shifted to UE4 (and then UE5) for STALKER 2

[zinc matrix]

they'll just "buy" that engine, slap a 100% russian sticker on it, call it day

[cursive crypt]

That will be the smartest, but... doubt.

[noble plaza]

It'll be like Unity but with 80% of the funds going to corruption instead of dev/marketing salaries. What could go wrong 🙂

Russia looked at the SlavJank memes and really were like "we must seize the means of production"

[carmine frigate]

well its hard to make a game engine when ur programmers are gone

cuz thats what tech exodus means

also ur now limited to a much smaller market with a lot less money

hell thats the reason why every1 leaves

also mayB not bein cool with genocide

I dont see any fire here, its pretty warm tho

also russia is in europe right?

[celest musk]

that could be misunderstood

or did you mean it like that?

[cursive crypt]

wut

it is

Okay, have it ur way

I dont care

[carmine frigate]

im not even sure where Europe stops and what starts there 😛

[zinc matrix]

Europe (the continent) stretches all the way to the urals

the other side of the urals is siberia

[cursive crypt]

earth is flat too

I mean, look at the map.

[zinc matrix]

my uv maps are flat and yet my model isn't

[cursive crypt]

So, these uvs are distorted

[cursive crypt]

Nice.

[carmine frigate]

Hevedy is fighting dragons when he is not on

[cursive crypt]

That's why he not around as of late.

[deep copper]

that looks cool tbh

oddly enough, there is just a big octopus in the pic, no dragons!

and a bottle !

oh no! probably why it's so far away

[carmine frigate]

the bottle could be that project where they dropped loads of bottle letters in water to study currents

still found to this day

but timing might not match

[deep copper]

that's a cool way of thinking

[carmine frigate]

yea it was pretty smart

[deep copper]

if only they had tech to track each bottle quickly

they could have had a neat radar with

stuff

actually, that sounds like a good way to generate a different landscape, on tick 🤔

According to IMDb... there's a rimjob in it

[carmine frigate]

That cannot be true because it's PG rated lol

[carmine frigate]

those animated characters ... once off screen...

Ken Jeong plays Mr. Greene

so you know it could happen

[carmine frigate]

looks kinda fun, i might watch it

[foggy path]

It seems to have had pretty bad reviews but who knows it could still be fun even in badness lol

[carmine frigate]

cant be worse than that last Dr strange movie

[quasi mantle]

Will it be the next Morbius though? 🤔

[foggy path]

But can it be as good as Ninja Terminator?

[carmine frigate]

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092610/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

ive watched that start to end

200$ budget

spend mostly on fake blood and spaghetti

[foggy path]

lol nice

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094271/

this or one of its sequels is probably the lowest budget worst quality thing I've seen lol

even Godfrey Ho's cut and paste movies probably had better prodcution value lol

[carmine frigate]

this movie is great too

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0383353/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

[noble plaza]

I miss the video rental place, would run into the most bizarre shit you just had to watch

[tulip orbit]

....but why?

[fathom wadi]

for the laughs. You can talk over the movie and not miss anything important too. Hard to start cracking wise during Schindler's List

[foggy path]

Yep

Those movies are sometimes so weird that it's just fun to see something different

[tulip orbit]

I... I just dont get it

[foggy path]

I highly highly recommend a movie called Roller Blade Seven

it's... so weird and oddly paced

It was pretty bad in general but it was just really different from anything I've seen lol https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102804/

[carmine frigate]

@tulip orbit there is more to life than Marvel 😛

[foggy path]

also Frank Stallone is in it... somehow

and it's directed by Donald G Jackson who made a few pretty entertaining flicks like Hell Comes to Frogtown

[noble plaza]

Bad movies help turn off the critique track in your brain because they're just intentionally bad lol

It's like playing game jam games where you see a million issues but the core idea is enjoyable, because you weren't expecting a AAA game

[carmine frigate]

usually the creator of this stuff gives 0 fucks... so stuff gets in there that wouldnt make it into a hollywood movie

[foggy path]

Roller Blade Seven is as far as I can tell a 100% seriously made attempt at a good movie

[deep copper]

totally get it, during my busy days i just read the worst mangas possible during small breaks so that I don't ruin the fun of reading anything good

[foggy path]

Scott Shaw who wrote it has even made a bunch of books I think on his so-called "zen filmmaking" technique that was used for it

[noble plaza]

There's no greater enemy of creativity than chasing the big $$$, so Hollywood is risk averse and generic in the same way AAA games are

[foggy path]

it's just so weird when you take it all in lol

[carmine frigate]

pretty much this

I hate when J back into a shopping trolley and the car blows up, with me in it. Just a bad day Alla around SMH

[pearl elk]

some how they blow up with no fuel tank

aand I just realised, car movies in the future gonna be boring as batshit

instead of explosions we'll get EVs just fizzlin

and no car chases cuz everything is autopilot

[deep copper]

i recall asking a guy who tampered some chip in his car, whether it will explode or not and if it's safe, he said "you do know cars don't explode so easily right?" and then i realised i haven't heard of much cars exploding in the news xD

[noble plaza]

Cop chases will just be the hacking UI from Watch Dogs

ow w8 blockchain

what is this web3 thing btw?

[regal pecan]

inserting blockchains where they don't belong

[carmine frigate]

would you say web3 is more or less retarded than nfts?

its a term ive seen a few times but didnt bother reading about it

[regal pecan]

NFTs are probably a subset of web3.
Web2 ("Web 2.0" actually) was shills hyping the idea that commerce would be done on social media sites like Facebook.

[foggy path]

https://accordion-druid.tumblr.com/post/685175656750972928/dont-lie-to-me-about-web-20

[regal pecan]

Web 3.0 will is shills hyping the idea that commerce would be done on blockchain-reinforced sites like... Facebook Meta.

[regal pecan]

I've had this opinion about Web 2.0 since before cryptocurrency was a thing, so 🤷

[foggy path]

I mean you're not wrong but it definitely didn't start as that

It's good to also remember the good parts

[deep copper]

fb meta is blockchain?!

[regal pecan]

No, but they're happy to add NFTs to it.

[carmine frigate]

hmm web2 sounds nice, i hosted some of my own stuff at some point

[regal pecan]

Also I think there was an HTML 2 thing that was the source of those "good parts"

[primal summit]

Web 3.0 is a problem because it's still yet another layer on ARPNET and not a complete rebuild from scratch.
Change my mind.

[regal pecan]

Not sure if actual web developers used Web 2.0 heavily as a term.

[primal summit]

wrong tags...

[regal pecan]

Even if they did, shills (I'm trying to think of a better term) used it much more heavily in public.

[foggy path]

web 2.0 was definitely used by devs quite a lot

I started doing web dev around 20 years ago so it was just around the time :P

I don't really think that anyone else used the term that much... it definitely wasn't being used to sell services to consumers because it meant nothing to most people

[carmine frigate]

when i hear ppl talk about this stuff is usually the same arguments as gamers that think the AI cores on nvid rtx cards wil make enemies smarter in games

[foggy path]

because it really was only the first time lot of people used the internet more

maybe it was being used in pitches to investors, since they would have been more in that

[carmine frigate]

and i legit read a lot of ppl thinking that those AI cores would make AI in games better

ppl buying stuff they know nothing about seems like a problem these days

[regal pecan]

Pitches to investors and SMB's being introduced to web marketing

[foggy path]

gmail was described as web 2.0 I think

too bad historic things are really hard to find anywhere :P

[regal pecan]

Imagine someone looking fondly back on web 3.

[foggy path]

Nobody is eve excited about it right now except cryptobro's

all the web 2.0 stuff was a big deal for regular old web guys lol

because it was a fucking shitshow back then and when browsers finally started to converge in their featuresets...

[deep copper]

i didn't even know about web 3 , until i read about it in #lounge

also i hope no one minds the 🫂 reacts 😅

[carmine frigate]

i just read a bunch of text about web3 and i still dont know about web3

[foggy path]

that's the problem with all the cryptoblockchain nonsense

there are all these people talking about it but they are all so fucking vague because most of them don't have any idea what they're talking about and they're just regurgitating some scammer's talking points

[carmine frigate]

friend of mine lost 500.000$ on his crypto... well hes prolly still in + a bit but went down a lot

[foggy path]

wtf :P

if he had that much to spend on it then I sure hope he had something else besides that lol

[regal pecan]

Sounds a lot like blockchain. Only without the 'an exploit in a smart contract leads to $50M in stolen assets' aspect.

[carmine frigate]

i kinda wanted to warn him cuz i suspected it would drop a lot .. but never mix that kinda stuff

like it still could have gone up and than it might have been my fault

[foggy path]

I dunno, it was just that there weren't a lot of standards and many vendors were building their own features in their own browsers

So you'd get this cool new feature in Netscape that didn't work in IE

Or vice versa

[carmine frigate]

like last week was playing rocket L with him and another friend that also did crypto... the price was like 20k$ at the time and the other friend said its worth 35k a coin at least

[regal pecan]

Long-term someone might say that web 3.0 was the merging of the internet with financial technology. There's a gap there and blockchain is closing it by mere necessity.

[foggy path]

And the standards that did exist were implemented kind of half-assedly so they didn't necessarily produce one to one results across the browsers

[carmine frigate]

i asked why is it worth 35k$ he had no real answer other than its rare

i told him hey if its worth 35k ill buy a bunch for 20k and sell u for 30k and we are both good

he didnt take the deal

there are some high levels of copium goin around

[foggy path]

I put in 5k and got out 20k in bitcoin and 20k in dogecoin that I mined a long time ago.... I still think it's a waste of time as a technology but you'd be stupid to not take advantage of it lol

Although I 100% admit that I lucked out big time :P

[carmine frigate]

@foggy path you spend energy and took money away from some1 else

its not a zero sum game its very minus game

[regal pecan]

As long as they enjoyed it, it's just a compact form of game dev. 😄

[carmine frigate]

well stockmarket gives capital to business that might grow

[foggy path]

Only if it wasn't just a game nowadays

I guess it kind of still serves as a way to gain capital but most of it is just games to make money out of nothing

[regal pecan]

And businesses pump money into the stock market with dividends, so it's actually a positive sum game.

[carmine frigate]

yea i know

its pretty disconnected

lol i watched a few episodes of shark tank 😛

$$ people collected for basically nothing is insane

[regal pecan]

@sand oxide Pretty good articles you have, i've read them all, still cant understand why its so much problem to make GameObjects in Unity inheritable...

Just curious how this problem solved by Escape from Tarkov team, i cant believe that they didnt change engine sources

[cursive crypt]

https://tenor.com/view/gamera-gamera-vs-garasharp-marukobukarappa-concept-art-concept-gif-25044257

[white storm]

Unity team diffenetly saw CryEngine and UE3-4 sources, they KNEW how useful would be custom entities creation and still they DIDNT do that. I can just inherit from IEntity in CE and whoah i have my own custom placeable entity in world, same with AActor in UE4, i think there is more behind that, some ideological bullshit and MVC "church" idk

I got banned on Unity channel in discord for this statements btw

[carmine frigate]

@sand oxide my UE didnt come in a box 😦

[white storm]

What do you think about grid-based Fog of War? Is there other methods to implement FoW? (Didnt make visual yet)

[carmine frigate]

would making a new actor class based on AActor be modify source?

[white storm]

Engine? No. Project? Yes

[carmine frigate]

Unity you cant read any code at all?

well AActor is part of the engine , how would one make a new class of it if you cant read it

never used unity

[white storm]

AActor UE4 thing, not Unity

[carmine frigate]

yea i know, but i bet unity has something similar

[white storm]

One my friend from Saber Interactive touched sources of Unity and said "Could be the worst codebase i ever seen", so...

[carmine frigate]

so if i make a unity actor how would i know what it can do?

like get actor location

you can see the function names but not the code?

[cursive crypt]

!8ball is there such thing as unity actor location?

[turbid spindle]

@cursive crypt, :8ball: Reply hazy, try again.

[cursive crypt]

!8ball is Unity ponzi scheme?

I was scammed once when someone tried to sell me a leather jacket, a beat up motorcycle and Pinky Tuscadero. Apparently it was a Fonzi Scheme.

“Where ‘Warframe’ is focused on shooting, this one’s focused on melee,” Sinclair said. “Where ‘Warframe’ is super fast and crazy high-speed, this one’s going to be a lot more slow and heavy. But it still has a lot of similarities to the genre that we have experience in.” Never played warframe. As an observer as far as I can tell, great people made a great game. But I think taking your player base, splitting them in half, and making the experience the same but opposite may not go over very well

I'll try it though, slow and heavy melee sounds fun to me

[fathom wadi]

Warframe is an "open a box" simulator.

[cursive crypt]

Did someone played the remasters or whatever they did years later?

[quasi mantle]

The console versions?

Ultimately the remastered version is not too far off from the 7th gen console ports

Kinda wished they rebuilt it with CryEngine 5

[cursive crypt]

for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC, featuring new graphical assets, effects, and software-based ray tracing

[quasi mantle]

Though I think it's still CryEngine 3 with the software RT and alike patched in

[cursive crypt]

Their engine is barely living afaik

CE 6 incoming as I see tho, dx12 + rain tracing

[quasi mantle]

CryEngine is like that one neglected smartest kid in the corner
Not many games make use of it despite it being publicly available. Even when Unity hit a new low people brought up either Godot or Unreal, but not CryEngine

CryEngine literally crying

Lumberyard is replaced with O3DE

Well, not replaced from the ground up, but O3DE is successor to Lumberyard, with CryEngine code rewritten. And yeah, with that Amazon pulled the plug on Lumberyard brand.

[deep copper]

the fate of game engines is quite sad

[quasi mantle]

At least for publicly available one, Unreal is thriving the most, with Godot having slow following suit

[regal pecan]

Godot's secret to success is being incapable of having any

[cursive crypt]

Being stubborn is what matters. Also python.

Hopefully it gets better, the current engine landscape is bland.

Frankly if your honestly objective and afraid of companies supporting malware, stop using discord.

Discord has such limited protection and so much malware passes through discord and thus hosted by them.

This is what one guy in an indie developer's discord said when people were complaining about unity partnering with ironsource

discord atleast tries to remove malware when found

unity? yeah let's fund em

[quasi mantle]

He said that while using Discord

i mean news sources are kinda clickbait yeah, he definitely said that in some context

but that doesn't changes the fact he said stuff, and they partnered in the end

have a small 1

[zinc matrix]

sounds like shit, but pretty familiar

[carmine frigate]

yea i produce shit allmost every day, its not that bad:P

[zinc matrix]

the first part

is from some pop song for sure lol

[carmine frigate]

i doubt it

[zinc matrix]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6FBfAQ-NDE&ab_channel=DepecheMode

maybe some kind of version of it

just messy melody

😄

[fleet tangle]

Better, but I just can't stand her accent. 😦 That's just me issue, though.

[carmine frigate]

no, this isnt even close 😛

[zinc matrix]

yeah i know

[quasi mantle]

That's as far as you go?
Try make a danceable song with 7/8 time signature and changing tempo mid-song with triplets. (Basically prog rock staple)

[zinc matrix]

you have two hands and you try to make full band performance

and not crash your pc

rather keep it simple and try do it all in one software

spin around some loops

use some drum machine plugins

[carmine frigate]

metasounds is pretty dope, just doesnt have prefab instruments

[zinc matrix]

you create sounds with blueprints?

[carmine frigate]

sorta, its a bit diffrent than BP

https://www.beepbox.co/#9n31sbk4l00e09t1La7g0fj07r1i0o433T0v7u00f10i7q83211d46w5h2E0T1v7u3df0qwx10p511d08AcFbBfQ269cP969bE2bi7iT7v0u70f40p61770q72f5q0E21990l65d06HT-SRJJJJIAAAAAh0IaE1c11T2v0u02f0q012d60w0E0b4x800000000h4g00000001chd5hl000000000000000p243FEY19FEScCD8Oo1d7lARWBCpejAYJphnjhjlljll0QQl005cEcjhA9B0GkQqxCrmlAV6jBgdmgCzYjaNPDcFBFOWtGVBXlm2RlgHCkyq5pBpD8CxmpuG5FAmyxmqcCxsCxqa5EAmChmqfCAQv-llcFFd6gCkSBd6TDXmnApehDV6pA9EW-bUBcJenjJsBP6jjJVuRBV56jAp5mhPn5sjPeljJsxPeljJpmRBp56jAp5mhPn5sjPeljNgBXCUY0L3FM0

[zinc matrix]

i mean like modular synths kind of

[carmine frigate]

yea

just take a lil look in #audio

[zinc matrix]

how to access the editor?

enabled the plugin

[carmine frigate]

create a metasound

[zinc matrix]

full on nerd stuff

no buttons, no knobs

😄

most of the plugins I use I just go with the feeling and "kind of" understand what they do, but not really

[carmine frigate]

@zinc matrix metasounds can turn any variable into a knob or slider

inside the BP logic

[pearl elk]

https://tenor.com/view/kskakaka-gif-14837633

[zinc matrix]

you can add midi and play it inside unreal

mhm

[carmine frigate]

and u can read it in BPs. niagara, chaos, shader

knob

cant do that in normal BPs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_9_ZDpazd4

dude is cool btw, i met him once

ending is boss

[zinc matrix]

that's a lot of $$

😄

[carmine frigate]

he makes $$ using....

[zinc matrix]

oh yeah

[carmine frigate]

well he makes euros

[zinc matrix]

i had two drum machines and midi keyboards

sold them for weed money

kinda regret it

but that's how it goes sometimes

[carmine frigate]

well keyboard is fine

[zinc matrix]

i had mpc and native maschine

[carmine frigate]

cant make music without weed anyways

[zinc matrix]

true

drum machines are good on their own, but not really as an instrument in daw

in their own software they can do magic

https://www.ebay.com/itm/255526414590

still

would buy this

just for the vibes

[carmine frigate]

id prolly just get a knob/ button board cuz it would be multifunctional

i would be able to use sliders and knobs to animate stuff

[zinc matrix]

yeah

https://soundium.lv/boss-rc-505-mk2

wonder if you can somehow simulate that in logic pro

[carmine frigate]

dunno i only used beepbox LMMS and unreal 😛

and like 10 min on fruityloops

[zinc matrix]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqR6EolWARE&ab_channel=KEXP

look at all the magic she does lol

[carmine frigate]

ahh an ergonomic floor

[zinc matrix]

https://www.roland.com/us/products/sp-404/

what's that black thing in video

[carmine frigate]

id prolly get something like that over audio stuff

[pearl elk]

you dont need that, airbus resorts to the autopilot in case of a crash 😛

[carmine frigate]

last time i used one of those was descent 2

[pearl elk]

me too tbh, mouse and joystick seemed to be the way to go

[carmine frigate]

yea the airforce is way behind on tech.. they still live in atari age

[pearl elk]

I thought they were using xbox controllers for missiles and drones

[carmine frigate]

more like those nintendo things

[pearl elk]

looks like MS might lose the army contract though

[carmine frigate]

airforce dont know pc master race

[pearl elk]

quote from a real army ranger "MS Hololens is heavy and it doesnt do thermo for shit!"

[carmine frigate]

f35 does some XR stuff, those helmets cost like 1mil a pop

[pearl elk]

I love how the airforce have their own software for the F35 ready to go but Lockheeds like nah bugger off

software as a service you see

[carmine frigate]

just replace the firmware

[pearl elk]

I think new Apaches have pretty cool helmets too

they cant 😛

but to be fair I guess thats good for ground security

if USAF accidently left the flash USB laying around on the battlefield that could be bad

[carmine frigate]

who puts an unknown flashdrive in his pc? 😛

[pearl elk]

thats how it works, you go to the drop point, find an unknown drive then take it home and whack it in

have you never found a USB stick between some bricks or somethin?

[carmine frigate]

nah my bricks of cocaine are 100% pure

[pearl elk]

do you have a QR code on each one so buyers can find you online 😛

[carmine frigate]

nah my handwriting is famous enough

[pearl elk]

I got a matching scorpion tattoo so everyone knows my brand from the matchbooks we give out to preferred customers

[carmine frigate]

ahh i do all my advertisement on public toilet doors

[pearl elk]

I saw a weird joystick in a toilet once

https://tenor.com/view/star-citizen-fly-flight-simulator-gif-22085836

[fleet tangle]

"joystick" in a toilet.

[ancient ingot]

😐

[deep copper]

..what did i come back to

xD

[pearl elk]

so who's buying an Intel Arc?

[deep copper]

i would if that comes with you

[pearl elk]

you couldnt handle that speed 😛

[deep copper]

we wouldn't know until i try!

[pearl elk]

https://tenor.com/view/bag-on-my-head-sex-andy-samburg-lonely-island-paper-bag-gif-16323784

[deep copper]

a bag 🤔

[tulip orbit]

what are you, the developer?

[ancient ingot]

i am god !

[carmine frigate]

intel hasnt made any interesting products in a while

my guess its gunna be to expensive for the performance u get

[subtle hatch]

Who'd make a game based on this

[carmine frigate]

well their NUCs are not too bad, i guess its sorta for those

[pearl elk]

I bought a NUC for someone recently, its pretty powerful for such a small form factor

[carmine frigate]

yea nuc price was fair last time i checked, hard to build similar for that price

like 50$ to get the form factor

[subtle hatch]

Oh because I usually just try to join a game dev discord servers. There was one that only allowed poc in. I'm NOT pulling any reverse racism card. I've spoke with the admin who happened to be in multiple mutual servers. They said to me pocs are marginalised and really needs a support network they can keep to themselves. They ban or kick other people who's non poc

And it happened on the day I joined

[pearl elk]

Yeah I couldnt even replace the main components in an existing box for a similar price as a NUC

[subtle hatch]

I know it's been more then 24 hours but I got in lots of other chats. I just wish them the best I guess.

Racism only ends by bringing multiple people together.

[foggy path]

That is a good sentiment, unfortunately we live in an imperfect world where some folks don't feel safe being themselves because assholes exist, which is why sometimes spaces that are safe for them are needed

[tulip orbit]

and not stabbing them

[subtle hatch]

I was quick to get removed from the server because i had a profile of myself. Aha and it was me on the faar left in the cover photo

Well at least I'm on the faar left

Literally

[carmine frigate]

its ancient tribal stuff, it takes many forms

Unity sucks

[subtle hatch]

Most general game dev discord are unity leaning

[carmine frigate]

ppl bond over how much they hate another tribe

[subtle hatch]

I hate nobody

[pearl elk]

Its not about equality its about equitably, marginalised people need that extra help because they dont have the advantages.

[foggy path]

^

[subtle hatch]

In my country the most marginalised are indigenous people.

[carmine frigate]

nothing brings people together like hating other ppl

[subtle hatch]

They have the worst discrimination then even other pocs

And the media don't care sadly

Over time things will progess more

My message to people in these communities

Life is so much easier when you worry less.

Ignore the bad go for the good side in life

[foggy path]

It's hard to feel like you can do that when you're literally being shot to death

I'm sure most of them try though but it's not so easy

[pearl elk]

Im sure being told to cheer up by some random whitey will help

[celest musk]

yet

[pearl elk]

I think you just cured my depression

[deep glen]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6X0m88AIYU XD

[foggy path]

I like the swoosh sound effect

[celest musk]

did he use bugs as gameplay elements?

i mean, that would be quite the topic for a gamejam 😄

make an engine bug your key gameplay element

[foggy path]

I don't know if it used bugs as gameplay but yeah it definitely looked like the jump animation has a bug which causes the char to rotate lol

[ashen knot]

is this a real thing lmao

[proud jay]

the animations are the most painful part

[deep glen]

yes :/

[celest musk]

they arent so bad

it's the feed sliding that makes it look weird?!

[ashen knot]

they're all bad

i'm no animator but they tingle me the wrong way and that's what's wrong

also the colors and art style is very inconsistent

feels like a child just picking random colors

[deep copper]

mildyInfuriating

[ashen knot]

why are there grapes

and people hugging

[pearl elk]

Animations are overrated

[supple cypress]

pro tip: you can fix all your errors by typing // before them. works every time

[cursive crypt]

go figure, kinda sad ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[cursive crypt]

New genre of games, no movement, only stills.

side note: gunpowder turns out is easy to make

new vfx unlocked

[carmine frigate]

any chemical pre 60s is easy to make

black powder and gunpowder is not exactly the same anymore tho

could give a few recipes for boom stuff u can make in ur kitchen from things you allready have

but i wont cuz yea...

better just stick too cooking meth 😛

[cursive crypt]

Was fun. Felt like survival tool.

[carmine frigate]

black powder uses sulfur

[cursive crypt]

Yea, 10%

Turned out a bit gray tho. I think I dried it on too high temp.

[carmine frigate]

but when u get allu to react 😛

lol wtf ya doin

[cursive crypt]

It is easier to mix when you put some water in.

[carmine frigate]

black powder is unstable

[cursive crypt]

It needs spark, really high temp to trigger.

Or say flame, but that over several hundred C

[carmine frigate]

friction can get over 100 no prob

just rub flat hands together

that temp can set it off

[cursive crypt]

I doubt it will trigger by just rubbing hands.

[carmine frigate]

it wont cuz sweat

[fleet tangle]

celcius or fahrenheit?

[carmine frigate]

dropping wood metal or stone on it on the other hand

just try it

[cursive crypt]

340 C, just checking

[carmine frigate]

if you dont have soap and want to disinfect ur hands thats the way

[cursive crypt]

Saw some dude just boiling/stirring over the oven, lol

Literally cooking.

[carmine frigate]

in water it wont go over 100

[cursive crypt]

Yeah, I think 100 should be safe enough.

[carmine frigate]

so that would be safer than in the sun in the winter

[cursive crypt]

What kind of sun you have? I have seen like 60-70 on direct sun, summer.

[carmine frigate]

ever grabbed black metal in the sun for a few hours?

[cursive crypt]

My fence.

Hot, but not so much. Then I'm not in scorching place.

[carmine frigate]

its an exothermic reaction

meaning it outputs heat during reaction

anyways u gotta be carefull

[pearl elk]

https://tenor.com/view/aluminum-iodine-reaction-sparks-science-gif-12977742

[cursive crypt]

Ofc, but my bud is crazy on self-made weapons.

[carmine frigate]

broken beer bottle

i have to advice against handling that stuff unless you are a professional

[cursive crypt]

It is not a random play.

[carmine frigate]

if ur looking to launch a cannonball i most def advice against it

[cursive crypt]

What about launching cabbage?

[carmine frigate]

use gas

with black powder there is chance on incomplete combustion

[cursive crypt]

Saw that few times. Sometimes is about bad filling.

[pearl elk]

Build a trebuchet

[carmine frigate]

mayB just eat the cabbage

its safer

and healthy

[cursive crypt]

I guess you have never overate with cabbage then.
Stuff is dangerous, you can explode from within.
Especially pickled cabbage (mmm, very tasty)

[broken sigil]

You all are missing some demons I think

[cursive crypt]

That AI watched 10000 episodes of naruto as I see it.

[broken sigil]

lol

[quasi mantle]

No, but I tried with thrash metal

[broken sigil]

Ironically it generates demons with normal mouths lol

[quasi mantle]

A protruding fang might be more menacing

[broken sigil]

this is... interesting

[cursive crypt]

long neck

[timber viper]

i wonder.. did you explicitly include "woman" or did midjourney imagined a demon as a woman

[broken sigil]

I did

[timber viper]

Neck detail is nice
