actually idk if using hats worse the baldness

hybrid scarab
#

How hard is cpp if i have some cs background

deep copper
#

let your inner child go free once again ๐Ÿ™ƒ

foggy path
#

being good at headshots doesn't really help with cpp

hybrid scarab
#

Csharp

deep copper
hybrid scarab
#

Ez pz then

foggy path
#

You'll probably scratch your head a bit with pointers and references but beyond that I think it'd be fairly smooth sailing

supple apex
zinc matrix
# deep copper no idea, but it should certainly provide some shade

No, wearing a hat doesn't typically cause hair loss. In fact, there's no reputable scientific research that suggests that wearing a hat plays any role in hair loss. However, anything you put on your head โ€” hats included โ€” that pulls on your hair roots may.

#

that what Google types

foggy path
#

Yeah but understanding why you have to write * and not for some things, and also why you sometimes need to use &foo...

deep copper
foggy path
#

But yeah it's not like gonna be a barrier to entry, just something you'll probably want to learn about

hybrid scarab
#

I see i come from csharp learned in unity if it matters

supple apex
hybrid scarab
#

Yeah

zinc matrix
#

unity has so much noob tutorials

hybrid scarab
#

Originally i went from game maker to godot to unity

zinc matrix
#

if you type on Youtube, how to make a basketball mini-game with a red ball, it shows

foggy path
#

What if... Dall-e 2.0 but for programming tutorials ๐Ÿค”

supple apex
zinc matrix
#

but with code example, i barely can follow just abstractions

zinc matrix
#

idk; i just covered the essentials to understand syntax and a bit of logic yet

#

maybe some same general mechanics are coded different from game to game

deep copper
#

well, as long as it works!

zinc matrix
#

yah... but we could have a standard

#

like Epic does with the BP_character, somewhow

this lake is located next to my house

deep copper
zinc matrix
#

where i dreamed today of a runner getting killed by a jaguar

#

i woke worried about capybaras

deep copper
#

but then we get "where to place (){}" wars etc etc

zinc matrix
#

but then i realized that the only dangerous animals there, was a crocodile but it was removed a long time ago

deep copper
#

oi why did you have croc

zinc matrix
#

idk if it was a crocodile

#

there is like, 3 types or 2

#

but it was a big reptile

#

it is a giant lake, probably home of many creatures in the past

supple apex
#

{} is better than tabs or spaces~

zinc matrix
#

no, : is better

supple apex
#

Cue attack on python

foggy path
#

explicit line numbers ala BASIC are better than implicit line numbers

zinc matrix
#

func _curly_brackets_are_useless:
is_true = true

#

rather than

#

func _curly_brackets_are_useful {
is_true = false;
}

#

plus you have to click SHIFT + []

#

why not use just the [] if you want enclosed code?

supple apex

do they have the same layout as US?

HieรŸe is hiesse or something idk ask ben

zinc matrix
#

i think i had a photo with it, but it is lost in analog prints somewhere

#

it was shy; but considering how dog owners are today, it may would ended eating a dog

#

some days ago i was with my guinea-pig there and out of blue a giant dog came to prick my guinea and the capybaras around

#

people run with their dogs freely, and they run into capybaras everytime

#

f%&$-off

supple apex
#

So you used the QWERTZ in german?
That's very close to the QWERTY, still can play FPS with ASDW I guess.

celest musk
#

yea

#

mostly the special characters are dislocated, and y/z swapped

supple apex
# celest musk i guess i should order my next keyboard from UK?

Pretty sure they're mostly similar, minor differences.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_and_American_keyboards

There are two major English language computer keyboard layouts, the United States layout and the United Kingdom layout defined in BS 4822 (48-key version). Both are QWERTY layouts. Users in the United States do not frequently need to make use of the ยฃ (pound) and โ‚ฌ (euro) currency symbols, which are common needs in the United Kingdom and Ireland...

zinc matrix
#

here, my guinea pig with a capy

celest musk
#

thanks zennodez, already checked another link and apparently there are quite some differences

#

but seems like some dealers here have US layout in stock

supple apex
#

Haven't checked the details, but the difference probably on currency symbols and punctuations only.

carmine frigate
#

German keyboards are horrible

#

they make me want to break everything after 3 minutes of use

supple apex
#

Ah, so that big L shaped enter key is a UK thing, didn't know that.

foggy path
#

the big L enter key is better than the stupid tiny us enter fite me

#

finnish keyboards have that too

umbral coral
#

Did Jipmokk complain about people with robot pfps? ๐Ÿ˜

foggy path
#

I'm using a US keyboard atm and it took me a while to get used to it :P

#

lol

#

it's not that bad tbh and I type with a US layout almost always anyway :P

#

finnish layout is trash for coding

#

some special chars you use pretty regularly are behind all sorts of annoying keycombos

umbral coral
#

Btw, did you see that article about Unity giving up on making a game with their engine? Couldn't help think of you when I saw that. ๐Ÿ˜‚

supple apex
#

I got both US and UK around, and I hardly noticed they were different until this talk comes up.

#

What's your language?

umbral coral
supple apex
#

Must be ancient greek~

#

You need a sharingan implant to write a curly bracket?

foggy path
#

Finnish layout uses alt for [] {} and they're located in a more annoying spot

#

same with \, and for / you need to press shift

supple apex
#

Dang, tough life~

foggy path
#

also apparently discord treats \ as an escape character if you place it before a comma? wut?

Can't get enough of Red Dwarf

i am guessing average was slightly slower because they weren't used to it much
which implies it would be equal normally or it's mostly only useful for dyslexic people

proud jay
deep copper
#

what is type hint? suggestions of names etc?

#

or a hint at what type of variable a thing is?

celest musk
#

why does almost(something) sound like an epic check?

deep copper
#

default python ide : does nothing

#

idk if that's an ide actually

#

probably not

carmine frigate
#

@celest musk more like victory(allmost);

celest musk
#

almost(check(object != null))

#

so false counts as true, because it's almost true

pearl elk

try ensure do while does not fail

what if assert is null ๐Ÿคฏ

I feel like I should call my project memegen

!8ball do you return 0 from a failed malloc?

zinc matrix

you are welcome

#

idk what godot discord icon is doing

proud jay
#

why would you be in godot server

#

if there is superior ue server

zinc matrix
#

because i should use godot

#

it is open source, pairs with my ideals or how i want life to be

#

somehow

#

because my game will not have any permissive license

#

i would die if someone took my bots and make them fight

supple apex
#

!8ball do you like open source too manny?

turbid spindleBOT
#

@supple apex, :8ball: You may rely on it.

zinc matrix
supple apex
#

!8ball do you recommend using blender to model a capybara manny?

turbid spindleBOT
#

@supple apex, :8ball: It is certain.

pearl elk
#

!8ball should luqtas use godot?

turbid spindleBOT
#

@pearl elk, :8ball: My reply is no.

supple apex
#

Harsh.

#

!8ball should luqtas use godot and UE?

turbid spindleBOT
#

@supple apex, :8ball: Very doubtful.

supple apex
#

@zinc matrix try asking your luck to 8ball, maybe he'll give better answer.

pearl elk
#

!8ball are custard tarts pie?

turbid spindleBOT
#

@pearl elk, :8ball: Ask again later.

zinc matrix
#

i do not trust the old Manny

supple apex
#

You like UE5 manny better?

#

!8ball are you on friendly terms with ue5 manny?

turbid spindleBOT
#

@supple apex, :8ball: Don't count on it.

supple apex
#

Guess not.

too late, I ate it

pearl elk

I like the cinnamon sprinkle adds just enough spice

cursive crypt

cinnamon on custard? ๐Ÿค”

Never thought about that.

Teach me your ways.

supple apex

Does it contain lava?

#

Looks sus.

pearl elk
#

well you probably wont see these overseas

cursive crypt

(said by guy livin on island)

pearl elk

Balfours is a local brand and by local I mean just up the road ๐Ÿ˜›

cursive crypt

lol

supple apex

Does a coconut one count?

pearl elk
#

its one of the oldest buildings left in Adelaide, though they arnt in that one anymore

youre better off trying to get the frozen potato pie

supple apex

cursive crypt

it opens tho

supple apex

Pretty sure there's one of those coconut custard pie vetsion on the shop next door ๐Ÿค”

pearl elk
#

omg omg I found something

cursive crypt
#

omg tell us

pearl elk
#

its pizza pie ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

cursive crypt
#

Is that like calzone ?

pearl elk
#

calzone is probably better tbh

cursive crypt
#

lol

#

It just folded pizza

supple apex
#

Thinking hard... isn't pizza with a thick crust outside technically a meat n cheese pie already?

pearl elk
#

I love pizza bread though, omg

#

my friend went to italy he was like screw pizza look at this bread

cursive crypt
#

weird, ngl

cursive crypt
#

If I ever go to Italy, I want to visit Neapolitan pizza makers

pearl elk
#

theres a pizza in there

#

I should get a yiros pizza, not sure what country this cuisine belongs to

cursive crypt
#

Never heard of it ๐Ÿค”

pearl elk
#

yiros is like a kebab, lots of people eat the meat in some sort of snack pack these days

supple apex

Gyrosโ€”in some regions, chiefly North America, anglicized as a gyro (; Greek: ฮณฯฯฮฟฯ‚, romanized: yรญros/gyros, lit.โ€‰'turn', pronounced [หˆสiros])โ€”is a food item of Greek origin made from meat cooked on a vertical rotisserie and served wrapped or stuffed in pita bread, along with ingredients such as tomato, onion, fried potatoes, and tzatziki. In Gre...

pearl elk
#

lol gyro, isnt that for levelling a plane ๐Ÿ˜›

supple apex
#

Does look like a kebab variant.

#

I'm hungry...

pearl elk
#

you should get a yiros ๐Ÿ˜›

supple apex

Lemme book a plane to greece first.

pearl elk
#

funnily we have a special type of kangaroo called a euro

#

its a mix of roo and wallaby, sometimes called a wallaroo

proud jay
supple apex
#

Where did it get the euro name? ๐Ÿค”

pearl elk
#

maybe I could have a euro yiros when I visit europe ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

#

not entirely sure how it got that name tbh

#

the euro or western wallaroo (O. r. erubescens)

supple apex
#

Sounds like a potential aussie accent mixed to the spelling.

proud jay
#

or the eru from erubescens

pearl elk
#

probably because we shorten everything and erubescens was too much of a mouthful

#

so old mate just said yeah nah thats a euro

cursive crypt
#

Was it yiros or giros - at the end?

#

Coz the later is just a greek doner, not a pizza

pearl elk
#

its yiros because we pronounce gyro completely different

cursive crypt
#

uuh... So it is that wrapped doner ?

pearl elk
#

yiros pizza is lamb with garlic sauce

supple apex
#

Looks like it.

cursive crypt
#

hmm.... gyros are mostly chicken/pork, with veggies & potatoes.

supple apex
#

A variant of it maybe?

cursive crypt
#

Nah, sounds different.

pearl elk
#

they do combo here, its called AB

cursive crypt
#

Might be some localized recipe.

#

Anyway, lamb is nice.

#

garlic too, so it sounds good.

never ever place your time-zone as Troll station, at Antarctica

why would you lie about your timezone to your own thing?

idk, there was a map when setting the zone

and i found the troll on it

#

why not?

deep copper
#

that makes sense ๐Ÿค”

#

well as long as you are fine it's okay i suppose

zinc matrix
#

i am tired

#

maybe it is abstinence of tobacco

#

and cannabis

proud jay
#

or not

zinc matrix
#

definitely it is

#

but yeah, i am tired in general

#

if i knew about solo game dev.

#

i think i would be better doing something else

#

but now it is too late, 2 years on this thing

celest musk
#

ik the feeling

#

how long have you paused yet?

zinc matrix
#

and actually it is one of the most comfortable things regarding opportunity of being a nomad and status-quo output

proud jay
#

not very comfortable in getting paid though

zinc matrix
#

yeah, but myself being a nomad costs like less than 10k per year, certainly

#

and i would say i have a comfortable life

zinc matrix
celest musk
#

tobacco pause

zinc matrix
#

this is day 1

#

i smoked for about 5-6 weeks, daily

celest musk
#

well... then prepare for 1-2 weeks bad sleep

zinc matrix
#

60% tobacco, 40% weed

celest musk
#

maybe less if you only smoked for 1 1/2 months

proud jay
#

have you considered not smoking

zinc matrix
#

but my cigarettes are very thin

#

yeah, certainly not smoking is a thing

#

but then i would overdo cycling, which considering my pleasure about it is go into the city, maybe my lungs are not suffering that much more than smoke

#

plus the chance of being hit and loosing movement

proud jay
#

you're saying cycling is less healthy than smoking?

celest musk
#

xD

proud jay
#

happy you're a game dev and not a doctor

zinc matrix
#

have you cycled extensively in the middle of the traffic?

celest musk
#

cycle in the evening, better air quality if you are concerned about it

zinc matrix
#

the air you breathe is seriously heavy

proud jay
#

bike away from the city?

zinc matrix
#

regarding health, i do not think my smoke habit will kill me, sincerely

zinc matrix
#

no way

celest musk
#

don't cycle in city traffic then? specially if you dont have to

zinc matrix
#

anyway, point is: smoke > cycling

proud jay
#

not really but ok

zinc matrix
#

about health, yeah, cycling is way better

celest musk
#

that really depends on what drives in front of you ๐Ÿ˜„

deep copper
#

get those indoor cycling things that don't even move from their location

zinc matrix
#

but i cycled more than 70,000 miles in this city, it kinda gets boring after a while

#

actually, i am tripping

#

mile 1.6 km

#

80,000 kilometres i guarantee

soft night
zinc matrix
#

that i way less than 70k

broken sigil
zinc matrix
#

anyway, i know how it is abstinence from these type of drug

#

this is the third time i take a month or 2 to smoke daily

#

i usually have a break of a year or more

#

but considering this time i took some of the trips with an spiritual purpose; idk if i will ever smoke 2 days in a row

#

spiritual == entheogenic

proud jay

did you have any epiphanies about grapes?

proud jay

do these people even read my profile

zinc matrix
#

what is the deal with grapes

proud jay
#

they're grape

zinc matrix
#

i was reading the chat here and there is a lot of AI purple things

celest musk
#

well, you would have known if you have been on a level 10 plateau trip

zinc matrix
#

how many levels are?

celest musk
#

idk, just know that level 10 is full of grapes

zinc matrix
#

last days i spend eating very few food

proud jay
#

I'm starting to get the feeling you are very bad at making life decisions

celest musk
#

appetite will come back after a few days, dont worry

zinc matrix
#

definitely, @proud jay

zinc matrix
#

maybe because it increases the acid in stomach

#

but i am waiting the crave of eating to suffice the crave of nicotine

deep copper
#

that sounds a bit dangerous

zinc matrix
#

stretch, eating healthy, exercise

#

i took a blood exam after week 4 of my drug usage

#

which i was eating less food than necessary

#

and everything was ok

celest musk
#

sure it was

#

4 weeks is nothing

zinc matrix
#

inside the optimal level

#

i was looking for nutrient deficiency, that maybe not get too much affected by smoke

#

maybe if i took at my VO2 max and hearth health... but these take way more time than blood exams

deep copper
#

i wish i understood all of this

zinc matrix
#

i wished that linux community did not existed

#

nor Godot

celest musk
#

how about grapes?

#

are you happy that they exist?

deep copper
#

i will give you a reason to be happy about their existence!

deep copper
celest musk
#

no

#

competition is bad for monopolies

#

competition doesnt sell subscriptions

zinc matrix
#

i would live happily knowing that is only one monopoly controlling everything tech related

#

one game-engine, one OS, one kernel

#

etc.

celest musk
#

good, lay down your work, because you will most likely be replaced, too

deep copper
#

ah, so you dislike having to pick? or choose etc

celest musk
#

you gotta live what you strive for

zinc matrix
#

you do not know how much time i spend thinking about UE vs. Godot

deep copper
zinc matrix
#

then Godot vs. Unity

#

i think i watched all Youtube videos about the topic and all forum discussions

#

plus me thinking

deep copper
#

that's understandable, "what if i make a bad choice and spend my time the wrong way?"

zinc matrix
#

it is a disgrace, sincerely

#

if i was more casual

#

but if people like my game, i am aiming to develop it through the course of my life

#

so these small things are important to me

celest musk
#

sounds like another bad decision

zinc matrix
#

idk, i never played Dwarf Fortress, but just knowing the brother are at year 20+, that makes me shiver

#

as i typed, solo game dev. is a hell

#

still, there is fun etc.

#

a complete roller-coaster

celest musk
#

wheres the fun?

deep copper
zinc matrix
#

idk, i felt joy building these vehicles

deep copper
#

i would say you worry too much sometimes

zinc matrix
#

they are so cool to me

celest musk
#

well, joy maybe, fun no

zinc matrix
#

ok

#

i feel fun when composing something with Csound

celest musk
#

you are hard to entertain

#

affectionate just needs hugs

#

thats pretty easy to fulfill for some

zinc matrix
#

i think if i was not against violent media, i would have a pretty easy time with people here

deep copper
zinc matrix
#

i would even make my game under MIT i think

#

i doubt if i continued developing it, i would not get together with a group

celest musk
#

see people hate all kinds of stuff for weird reasons

#

a friend of mine was forbidden to play racing games as kid

#

because his mother feared that it would have bad influence on his real driving later

zinc matrix
#

hahaha

#

actually there is some studies pointing risk behavior under the wheel on racing game players

deep copper
crisp rose
#

i wasnt allowed to have water guns (super soaker etc.) as a kid. parents are weird sometimes ๐Ÿ˜„

zinc matrix
#

i do not hate violence, but it is science; what can i do?

#

i am taking my load into Godot, with barely code experience, just because i think open-source should be the lead

celest musk
#

neither do i, but then there's doom

zinc matrix
#

Unity has tutorials of everything i wanna do, completely digested

zinc matrix
deep copper
#

unity is going downhill rn, i feel like you should avoid it for now

zinc matrix
#

that game feels so niceeeeeeeeeeee

zinc matrix
celest musk
#

they have been

#

billion? really?

zinc matrix
#

their downhill is 8 Everest above Godot anyway

deep copper
#

so it's a bit, weird

zinc matrix
#

i know some business people and they are tough

deep copper
#

we are getting unity refugees in ue server now

zinc matrix
#

but the C# and community resources are top notch

celest musk
#

well, someone doesn't switch the engine mid dev because of some media "fiasco"

#

so the people who come here, are probably not to be taken too serious

zinc matrix
deep copper
#

if you haven't started a project yet i suppose you can decide, if you are already using unity, i say go with it

zinc matrix
#

why? is their software buggy?

celest musk
#

@sand oxide so you worked with unity before? how long?

#

rough estimation, i'm just curious

zinc matrix
#

i thought because it was so popular, the vast majority of bugs were resolved

proud jay
#

I worked with Unity ~2 years before I could convince my boss to use unreal

celest musk
#

ah yea, i kind of remember that "rewrite" thing

#

which never happened?

proud jay
#

but it was when making a new game though

zinc matrix
#

DOTS is not a whole another paradigm?

proud jay
#

not porting over game

deep copper
#

that feels sad

zinc matrix
#

does UE has advantage to switching to an data-oriented approach because of Blueprints?

#

or the way you code stuff, completely changes?

celest musk
#

aren't data assets and such kind of BP related?

proud jay
#

lol, Go just uses tuples for error handling, strange, but also kinda simple

deep copper
#

as long as it works!

#

maybe it has some speed benefit

proud jay
#

wait wtf, Go doesn't have generics

#

official trash

zinc matrix
#

we need a way to make useful things with 8 billions of creatures

celest musk
deep copper
#

what's a generic

zinc matrix
deep copper
#

ah

celest musk
#

soon we wont have strings anymore, and it's back to char arrays

zinc matrix
#

soon we will talk to a computer to discuss what type of software we want to create and then it works to generate it

literally, coding is having a chat with AI

@deep copper could you stop putting an emoji (other than grapes) under everything?

got to exclude grapes from that rule, and i think that rule is only for messages?

it's not excessive, yet!

thank you

#

i see the twitter one

proud jay
#

why are Teams emoji like this

celest musk
#

do they maybe differ from device to device?

proud jay

from service to service

#

and potentially from device

#

discord emoji sometimes look different on phone

#

grape is actually one of the ones that differ

debugging in js is a fun experience

#

man! do i have something for you to touch !

#

jk ofc

foggy path
#

people always use the type coercion as some kind of a gotcha for JS

#

but like... that's almost never an actual thing you'll run into

#

:P

deep copper
#

if you write it correct, yes

foggy path
#

Yeah it's a beginner trap but as soon as someone tells you to convert your values explicitly it's now never a problem for you

deep copper
#

the only problem i run into with js is, my code starts to look so ugly I can't tell what's happening where anymore, but that's more of a me issue

foggy path
#

yeah sounds like it lol

#

we have a pretty huge JS codebase at work and while it's not perfect it's not too bad... except in a few places

#

:P

#

(we have an entire Photoshop-style WYSIWYG editor + a whole bunch of related stuff built in JS)

deep copper
#

that's quite heavy stuff

#

i think i kinda slack off on tidying stuff up because i know i would lose motivation mid way anyway, might as well make it okay enough before that

celest musk
#

well, js is fast and efficient when writing it imho

deep copper
#

and the end result is i stop right after making it then when i get back to it again nothing makes sense

celest musk
#

makes "fun" to do stuff with it

deep copper
#

it works but I don't understand how anymore

celest musk
#

i still often use php/html/js to make prototypes

deep copper
celest musk
#

i've messed one or two times with python...

#

so no idea what you talk about ๐Ÿ˜„

deep copper
#

i meant we should take some inspiration from pythons and hug the snake way ! hsss!!!

celest musk
#

yea, you maybe should

#

that will be quite the hug of your life

deep copper
#

yes, snakes are like alive ropes so i see some potential

celest musk
#

i mean, i would consider it too

deep copper
#

you would?!

#

well it's kinda the opposite of grapes so i wasn't expecting that

celest musk
#

yea, hugging the python

#

not you

deep copper
#

i am something of a python myself you know?

celest musk
#

yes

deep copper
#

look at my long snake like name!

celest musk
#

quick reading it i was reading "look at my long snake like arms!"

#

which is weird

#

as snakes dont have arms

#

or you could have snake shaped arms

deep copper
#

"my arms will tie around you like snakes"

#

seems impressive and useful

celest musk
#

like a blind worm snake

#

they are snakes, aren't they?

deep copper
#

i tried three.js once, and it has insane amount of moving things on screen, idk how

deep copper
celest musk
#

three.js is nice, yea

deep copper
#

i tried making a simple thing in canvas , no libraries, i soon ran into optimization issues with multiple things,

#

then i figured three js requires more learning as well so i quit

#

pss rwxtom, hit the blue reaction as well

#

disconnected all execution lines from my control rig

scarlet cedar
#

Does anyone have any ideas on how I would implement something like wire mod from garrys mod or the circuit network from factorio? If I make each "node" /logic gate an actor would I also make each wire/connection an actor? Then each of the gates would reference the wire itself instead of the gate/s its connected to

fleet tangle
#

I'd probalby do it via logic only and have all the "actors" just be ISMs.

scarlet cedar
zinc matrix
#

made by Code Monkey, i think the guy is responsible regarding good code practices

scarlet cedar
fleet tangle
#

Not even joking.

scarlet cedar
foggy path
#

What is the wire supposed to be doing? Carrying a signal that's on or off?

fleet tangle
#

Pretty much

#

It connects A to B

#

The visual part is just... a nice addition

foggy path
#

Right, yeah in my game I have power cables which more or less function in this way I guess :D

#

Currently I don't have a voltage/power amount, just whether there is power or not

fleet tangle
#

In satisfactory the power cables hang between places so it's harder to get them to be ISMs, but you can easily draw them on a per frame basis with splines.

foggy path
#

I'm using cable components and they're so fucking janky ugh

fleet tangle
#

Cable components?

foggy path
#

Yeah the builtin cable component

fleet tangle
#

What does it do? Other than renders a cable...

foggy path
#

Renders a cable + does physics and collision for it if you enable those

#

the physics and collision is extremely janky sometimes when trying to just have the cable go between two points if there's anything blocking the path which is kinda annoying :P

fleet tangle
#

That's lame.

#

I'd specifically block placing items if they got in the way of cables and vice versa.

#

Solves that problem!

foggy path
#

When it works it works alright but yeah it's a bit unpredictable

#

Yeah something like that could work, but in my case it's supposed to be more like a regular power cable you plug into a device and to the power outlet in the wall

scarlet cedar
fleet tangle
#

I would not use the cable component.

scarlet cedar
#

Plus I don't think I need physics, but being able to hit them with a trace would be nice

foggy path
#

Depending on why you want to hit it with a trace having a separate thicker collision box for traces might be a better idea

supple apex
#

The cable component is unreliable.

#

It works as long as you're not expecting proper collision nor physics.

#

Assuming it haven't been fixed or improved in the latest editor version.

fleet tangle
#

If you just want the illusion of cables, you can always use niagra ๐Ÿ˜›

foggy path
supple apex
#

Haven't tried making a rope in niagara, can we implement individual collision, physics, and gravity for each particles?

foggy path
#

Tbh all I want from my cables is that it just "lays" in a nice way. Eg. if the item is on a table and you connect it to an outlet under the table, it should fall across the table in a nice way and connect

#

Would need some way of calculating it but I can't think of any so I'm just using the cable component for time being as despite the jank it works sufficiently well for what I need for it for time being lol

#

I actually also tried to set it up so that it would attach at one end, and then follow where the player is aiming, but that also very rapidly ran into all kinds of fun physics issues lol

timber viper
foggy path
#

It would take them too long to make it work

#

or they would use it without physics/collision where it works okay already because physics is probably not great for mp lol

timber viper
#

but โœจ fortnite โœจ

#

it just takes fortnite to require it for Epic to implement anything

There needs to be more regulations with these sorts of stuff.

Imagine if marcomedia kept flash instead of adobe we might of still have flash.

#

Now Adobe wants to close Substance3D.comย  and rename all substance products. The issue is when sell your company and it's work. You lose your own identity.

#

Selling should only be a last resort. I'd love to see startup companies go on the Snapchat route

noble plaza
#

WTF are you on about

subtle hatch
#

When you sell your company you don't have the same choices as you had before

noble plaza
#

Have you worked at a startup? I quit when a potential sale fell through because I was burnt out to hell and beyond, and had 0 motivation to keep chugging away against competitors 100x bigger

#

Don't you think the people at, and leading, these companies are better situated to make those calls?

subtle hatch
#

Some of the companies that gets sold were already successful or doing very good

#

I'd go for the emerging route

noble plaza
#

Of course, no one acquires a failing company

#

Again, have you worked at a startup before?

subtle hatch
#

Yes I work for one

warped pine
#

I'm guessing the core negative reaction is regarding the monopolies being pushed with acquisitions like these.

#

Would that be correct?

noble plaza
#

Many people at startups are there to get a stake in for a potential exit, and to get a piece of that pie

#

Monopolies is silly when Sony and MS both have like 15% of the gaming market's revenue each, if that

warped pine
#

So that is not a correct assessment then.

noble plaza
#

No I hear a lot of people whinge about that, but I'm not sure what their PoV is beyond "waa I can't play Skyrim III on PS7"

I want to have a company that makes acquisitions not be acquired.

If you were against "monopoly" or "empires", you wouldn't use Unreal Engine.

They're part-owned by literally the biggest business in the games industry

warped pine

Doesn't Tencent have some shares in Epic Games?

Yeah that's what I'm referring to, like 40% I believe

warped pine

Just looked it up and you're correct

subtle hatch
#

To have a game engine of your own it would require a 100 people

#

You could single dev ut but by the time you actually finish it becomes old tech by then

noble plaza
#

That's another reason why businesses get sold ๐Ÿ˜› Move much faster when backed by big $$$ of parent co, can rapidly expand and capture more of the market with the extra funding.

warped pine
#

If you put me in the position of owning some company with a successful core idea, I could see myself eventually deciding to sell it off and deal with any personal dumpster fires I had to neglect to get the business/product/service/whatever off the ground.

subtle hatch
#

Most of the big gaming companies doesn't want to use their own money to make games they want to use investors money

#

They use their own at a last resort

noble plaza
noble plaza

Not sure how you are defining "their money" and "investor money"

warped pine
noble plaza
#

FYI public companies can be sued for being run negligently, which can include risking the last bits of their money on an uncertain project.

warped pine
#

Either in terms of X years of active maintenance or X number of extensions.

#

And once that timer/DLC/whatever count is up, close up shop and move on.

Human interest in one intellectual property doesn't last forever.

noble plaza
#

Hmm it sounds fine in theory, but startups are just so hard to predict and time. Plans are just a list of things that can go wrong right? ๐Ÿ˜„

warped pine
#

I've got some battle experience with that last one ๐Ÿ˜„

I was living and breathing the engine from March 7th to June 7th putting together a team system where you could both switch between and command 4 heroes.

#

Getting the AI to play nice with both concepts (control and command) took a full month of digesting the relationship between AI controllers, behavior trees, blackboards, tasks, etc.

I didn't even have a game by the end of it all, I just had a tech demo.

#

The team mechanics became this massive feat of engineering, at least for my skill level. Taught me a lot but there wasn't actually a game to show for it.

noble plaza
#

Yeah I'm trying to avoid just that haha, but working on the core is so boring when I could chase dumb, fun ideas that may actually be fucking terrible

warped pine
#

Not the first time I've totally absorbed in myself in a project from start to finish like that, but the last time was with game mods.

Making systems from scratch was a whole 'nother animal and I needed every single day of that 3 month timespan lol.

noble plaza
#

I'm giving myself 3 months too, for a prototype of sorts ๐Ÿ™‚ In-between jobs and quite enjoying UE/C++ stuff, but eventually reality kicks in and I have to go back to being a cog

warped pine
#

What's your thing anyway?

My core gimmick is "Altoholic's promised land."

#

Where 1 save file supports many characters and you have an active team of heroes available to control in real time action.

noble plaza
#

Hmm I don't have a catchy phrase like that, but it's an action RPG but metal as fuck in the Doom way I guess

#

Like you gain speed and attack power for being in the heat of action, recover health by sucking up blood you made enemies bleed, all the fun shit

warped pine
#

Oh yeah that's very Doom, hah.

My thing is the evolution of an older concept, originally I was looking at having continental drift be a full blown game mechanic

But 2 glaring questions arose:

  1. How do I optimize the drift at a more realistic level of detail so that a computer doesn't catch fire

  2. If the drift is slow enough that the emerging rivers and seas take several game months to form... where's the drama? Characters in the story can just decide which part of the divide they want to end up on, be it because they discussed the most pragmatic arrangements with other tribe-mates, or there are emotional attachments that make the decision for them.

#

But then if you accelerate it fast enough to inject the proper drama, there's no point in representing it as a real time mechanic.

noble plaza
#

It sounds very large in scope, even just being able to switch to (supposedly) different playable characters mid-battle. Continental drift and all that...

#

I could see it working maybe EG how BotW does the Divine Guardians, or Elden Ring's bell tower things. Walking around bits of map you can hop on to do related stuff

#

The simplistic approach would be almost Metroidvania like, where terrain changes invalidates previous routes and opens up new ones, with new secrets. This is probably particularly easy to do with UE's Modular Gameplay thing

warped pine
#

The hero switching is fully working, the biggest thing that allowed me to make it so is that the On Possessed event exists in AI controllers, and I was using my Player Controller to store the array of pawns and AI Controllers needed to faclitate the idea of the team.

The continental drift was very quickly relegated to a setting concept.

#

"Tectonic plates chug monster energy drinks" works fine as the driver of setting and story

#

The hero-team thing came about after spending a protracted amount of time in games like Guild Wars 2 and Grim Dawn.

You can make all these alts, but the game only really expects to you to sink time into 1 or maybe 2 characters. Each character is treated as its own save file.

There's games like XCOM and Kenshi and Wartales, but I've been drawn to the detached turn based element, and perma-death seems to be a common element here.

#

I got the hero switching working and also managed to implement a command system so that the AI controlled heroes can be told to follow targets or go to locations that you point at with your crosshairs.

noble plaza
warped pine
#

In my initial June 7th draft, I decided to approach it (at least in theory) by breaking up the hero acquisition.

The player makes 1 avatar, and recruits the others over the course of natural play as in-game relationships are built up.

As far as anything to do with the more RPG specific concepts goes; I haven't even gotten there yet, though I had loosely considered just giving the characters a pool of 4 abilities & whatever stat points at the moment of recruiting, eliminating the traditional notion of levels.

That said, after revisiting the whole thing in these past few weeks I decided to scale back the 4 person team to just 2.

#

Playing favorites is just human nature.

#

I am no different. Pretending I had an actual game worth thinking up real character names for, I found myself more or less treating the teams as more like a two separate duos.

I'd also treat 1 guy as my main and switch to the others for very specific reasons. I couldn't see more bells and whistles alleviating this.

It's a lot easier to see a duo as being equals than a team of 3 or 4. "Two's company, three's a crowd" and all.

#

Also, 2 instead of 4 can be represented in the character creator the second you begin play lol

#

Which helps alleviate the design problems you've observed, since now the team is starting together instead of disparately.

The points you made about build options and how a no-lifer vs newbie would process it still stand though.

noble plaza
#

Or characters could have a decaying XP earn bonus, EG for the first 10 levels you go up. Then those levels are shared for all characters, so levelling up efficiently requires using your entire squad. Loot would need to be character specific to not make things too tedious, most likely, and to encourage build diversity. Or limit the characters to 1 per class.

warped pine
#

As far as XP goes:

I have no qualms with concepts like XP share ala Pokemon. If it's a party of 2 there would be no reason for the duo to earn XP separately, but a % of XP share would make sense for a party of 4.

As far as classes/abilities go, conceptually I've settled on characters having 4 ability slots. You're not so much taking a class as you are putting abilities on a hot-bar.

#

As far as loot/inventories go:

My only real ideas here is "Limited."

Unless it raises more questions than answers, I'm looking at inventories being more realistically small.

Think less "Diablo" with its oceans of trash loot, and more "Indiana Jones" where it's a single, almost sacred (and extremely valuable) item that's the subject of an entire quest/dungeon-run.

zinc matrix
#

allowing the player to choose skills, opens a design about how the game can be beaten

#

are you developing this alone?

#

may a linear approach to skills is better then

warped pine
#

At present this is a solo act.

My model organism for abilities is Guild Wars 1. Its spells/abilities are relatively homogenized, that helps keep its complexity under control.

noble plaza
# zinc matrix may a linear approach to skills is better then

Yeah, one gotcha is that game complexity feels like it's number of skills^2, since they can interact and affect balance together. That's why I'm going with a simpler, but more dynamic action game. Feels more manageable. Not manageable, just more so lol

noble plaza
warped pine
#

Something I've also contemplated is relying on contextual modifiers.

"Summon" or "Fire Magic" might behave differently if you're focused on a target, staring at the sky, or the ground, when you use the ability.

I already know how to acquire the player controller's rotation and do line traces to acquire what (if anything) was hit, and do stuff based on that.

#

I do think some form of ability/class is necessary, acknowleding the extra labor involved. I don't see much point in having a team if they're functionally the same characters.

#

Stuff like this is part of why I decided to scale back from a team of 4 to 2. Cuts down on the complexity without giving up the core idea.

zinc matrix
#

i think i have 2 screenshots of some online research when i was fiddling with skills

#

(never created until now)

fallen salmon
#

Anybody tried compiling the city sample project in ue5-main (5.1)? I've been trying for weeks but I keep running into errors with the traffic plugin.

zinc matrix
#

actually the first 2 are for cooperative online gameplay

#

and the third one i think can be applied to skills

#

sorry for the red blockage, but it was probably related to violence or competition so i censured it ๐Ÿ˜„

#

you can find this talk searching about 'co-op or cooperation / online games' on the GDC Youtube channel @warped pine

#

maybe you are trying to escape from the 'low-trust' threshold

#

the medium one may should be aimed if you want player selected skills?

#

may the path to take it as a freer choice, is to form a way to develop the game and allow testing from early development of these skills? as player feedback on those are really important

#

as i am aware of games ramping up difficulty too much

#

and maybe it is because devs. playing non-stop or thinking about

warped pine
#

Oh, maybe I should clarify:

When I say "team" I don't mean a conventional multiplayer team.

"Team" in this case means a number of characters that can be controlled by an AI Controller or a Player Controller, depending on which character the player decides to take the reigns on.

zinc matrix
#

yeah sure, but i think it applies, anyway

#

there is another talk at Vault or Vault Games or Vault Game Dev. (the channel with a chest with golden details) about skills and he talks about this topic of balancing

#

but sincerely, i would skip

warped pine
#

Still, applying this to my project:

Hard Coop and it looks like Medium Trust is what I would be designing for.

zinc matrix
#

loopy talk, for over an hour

#

yeah, but be aware that having a dependency on different skills and different characters to complete the game, involves A LOT of tweak

#

there is AA games made by ton of ppl that player discover exploits very early

#

i would recommend a linear approach to skills

#

or maybe branches on a linear skill tree?

#

you do you, but solo dev. is a heck of work

#

anyway, you made me remember that at some point i excluded some stuff that i wanted in my game and here i am, with them modeled (not coded)

warped pine
#

After having spent 3 months debugging the team mechanics alone and realizing what is and isn't working, I'm aware that I'm taking on a more difficult concept. ๐Ÿ˜„

Outside of cosmetic stuff, I don't really have much else in mind for making characters different from each other so I think I can afford to untangle the added complexity mix n' match spells brings.

zinc matrix
#

how long are you dev.?

noble plaza
#

Sounds like someone needs to start cooking with GAS ๐Ÿ™‚

warped pine
#

Yup lol.

warped pine
# zinc matrix how long are you dev.?

For this project, I put together a design document, then made the project file March 7th. A working tech demo playable by other people was finished on June 7th. I setup a main menu, character creator, party recruitment, and command & control mechanics.

As far as Unreal in general goes, I got my earliest start in 2016 with ARK: Survival Evolved modding, put together an overhaul mod in summer 2017, maintained that for about 6 months, and from 2018 onward spent time learning mainline Unreal Engine.

zinc matrix
#

so i recommend go deep than total darkness found in ocean regarding skill depth

#

have you ever considered how much they forgot buffers and healers?

warped pine
#

My biggest ARK project, "Zero to Hero" taught me a lot about how people actually handle your product in real time. It was a sweeping rebalance that totally altered every pet in the game and added a couple new creatures for extra spice.

I have firsthand experience with people taking my creation in unexpected directions lol

#

My favorite story is these little frogs I introduced, called "Buufets" after their big brother "Beelzebufo."

Buufets could ride on a person's shoulder. Shoulder-riding pets could also be launched from the player's shoulder by double-tapping F.

My buufets would inflict KO damage if hit by a melee attacker.

People put 2 & 2 together and would play frogput KO'ing carnivorous dinosaurs :D

#

I also learned the hard way not to allow exponential growth on a server.

I had setup "Livestock" animals to give guaranteed twins when breeding - livetsock animals should be highly fecund, right?

What I didn't account for was people letting their livestock breed while the player was AFK, which caused server crashes and I had to rapid-fire hotfixes while also staying in touch with server owners to help resolve the issue.

There are too much weird tutz on YT, but after watching hundred of these, I suppose some sort of knowledge can be formed.
Doing practice is mandatory tho.

What if it is Art AI?

If you want to learn ML, you're asking the wrong crowd for the most part

I thought someone who's an expert in cs would help ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

noble plaza

Oh no doubt, but most in games would not assume AI is referring to ML

cursive crypt

That will help. We are experts in pizza tho.

I mean, I thought that many of y'all might be well versed in computer science concepts hence I asked about AI

AI about what?!

I've dabbled in neural networks and all before, but I don't think you asked a concrete question I could answer

No but seriously, I wrote cautiously because I also know the people who can seriously throw down also are occupied with their own projects.

I know this has been the case for myself as I've become greatly more skilled at answering my own questions, either through careful search-terms or knowing exactly what to test on my own.

noble plaza
#

Yeah I'd normally be hella busy but got free time ATM, and run into a dumb issue with GAS that's frustrating me lol

warped pine
#

MMMM GAS

I've been kind of scared of that one for a while because of some C++ setup it apparently requires - though I refreshed myself today and couldn't find any concrete mentions of that

#

Maybe I wasn't looking carefully or it changed so that from a BP perspective it can be used out of the box.

noble plaza
#

You definitely need C++ setup still

zinc matrix
warped pine
#

Ahhh, ok

noble plaza
#

There's an MP plugin that lets you avoid it, but I can't speak to its quality (or lack of), haven't used it

#

It's called GAS Companion, might be worth looking into how it works/ is set up, see if it could simplify your project maybe

noble plaza

yeah, that is the tip of goth stereotype here

sad songs, rather than being sad all the time

but i do not know how those separate

anyway, they are kick in on that gif

goth is kinda different from gothic different from emo tho

#

Like, gothic is wrt the history, goth are the dudes up, and emo is kinda hairstyle - imo of contemporary culture.

emo - emotional person ๐Ÿค”

tribes...

#

have you participated in one?

#

i never lliked the gothic style of buildings

cursive crypt
#

Yeah, show off, you have them next to your ass

zinc matrix
cursive crypt
#

"tribes"

#

tribal people

#

Or you talk about else?

zinc matrix
#

i meant if you could fit in a group once

#

like emo people

#

or goths

cursive crypt
#

Aa... so communities

#

hmm... actually you shouldn't try.
Once I was into some underground dnb scene

#

So... it turned out we like the same thing and wore similar stuff, lol

#

However, I understand, there is always some kind of "law" to follow.

#

whether appearance, music, whatever makes that community.

#

I mean, if you are not into #cpp why even living?

zinc matrix
#

c++ feels hard

cursive crypt
#

C++ is ambrosia

zinc matrix
#

i love dnb

#

i think i heard all the video from Hospital Records Youtube channel

#

maybe not underground.. still

cursive crypt
#

oh nice, nowadays I don't so much - too much attack on my mind, this kinda grew with the age

#

Was underground because it was 90s, 00s and around you barely can find such thing.

#

Nowadays... I doubt is underground.

zinc matrix
#

oh cool!

#

the genre still alive, but other vertents of EDM took over

#

more a niche community but i bet is bigger than 00s

cursive crypt
#

Like that slow dub... what was the word

zinc matrix
#

idk

#

i liked a lot a genre called liquid drum n bass

cursive crypt
#

dubstep

#

Ah, was that with the vocals?

zinc matrix
#

but there are few tracks, and some i do not enjoy because of the vocals

cursive crypt
#

Haha, I'm not into vocals too.

zinc matrix
#

i prefer instrumental stuff

cursive crypt
#

Rarely they fit.

zinc matrix
#

yeah

#

one person which i liked, was Underworld

cursive crypt
#

One of the few MCs I liked was LTJ Bikem & Conrad. If they still alive ๐Ÿค”

zinc matrix
#

but actually 2 songs, Cups and Beautiful Burnout

cursive crypt
#

Links?

zinc matrix
#

let me find

#

and i will take a sip at yours recommends too

cursive crypt
#

I'm bit rusty over there, but as I said, I liked the progressive stuff from LTJ, will seek something ...

zinc matrix
#

ah btw, it is not drum n bass

#

is just the rare tracks of 'EDM' i can remember i enjoyed the vocals

#

most of sample loopy things are pointless

#

and most do not know how to sing

cursive crypt
#

Do you like progressive actually?

zinc matrix
#

never tried

noble plaza
#

This reminds me I'm meant to record the guitar track for one of our demo songs, but the person who wrote the snog didn't write down how the song is played lol. My ears are jelly

#

Imagine hearing a song and going "oh yeah I can recount every note in that 10 second stretch", people are freaks

This seems latest mix, not sure how good it is. Will check yours first.

Many thanks to Open Lab Radio for inviting me on to showcase the second instalment of my home recorded mix sessions featuring a selection of hand picked drum & bass cuts from the last few months.

This is logical, this is a progression... The original (96 version) and still one of the best sets around, LTJ's about to touch down. I had to cut 2 tracks due to copyright (29:00 & 45:00), you can download the full set from my Soundcoud page (https://soundcloud.com/dj-jo-public).

Well, it is emblematic for Intelligent/Progressive DnB

#

He has several albums from back then. All nice.

zinc matrix
#

nice, i will probably hear all

#

dnb is my favorite genre of edm

cursive crypt
#

You are mid 20s... at that age, it was my favourite too. Enjoy.
Now I'm into more progressive house/trance and... symphonic lol
However, is nice the occasional hard beat - techno, dnb, etc

cursive crypt

It is nice

#

what makes a song DnB? or acid house?

#

or reggaeton

noble plaza
#

Hmm I meant to say psytrance, but acid house is apparently related to squelchy sounding synthesiser lol. DnB's name sounds so generic it might as well be called Music, and reggaeton is some kind of Latino/ Caribbean dance-pop amalgamation.

I swear enjoying reggaeton is a pre-requisite to being Brazilian
