@dull comet as someone who watches your vids, you never did any real level design, level design =not environment art.

[dull comet]

thanks for mentioning that. I'm gonna edit it in the description

[formal cairn]

thanks. we actually have a #level-design channel, and because so many people think leveldesign = environment art, the channel gets cluttered by it. So we try to actively suggest people to not mention leveldesign when they do art, as the two principles are very different :)
It'll hopefully help the community as a whole in the long run.
Having said that, your end results are always really nice :)

[dull comet]

thanks man

After getting few requests and blessing from Froyok, I made my implementation of their custom bloom/lens flare articles a free and open source plugin.

For Unreal Engine 5.1 or later, code is (mostly) compatible with UE4.26 or later. Engine modification is required, so this won't work with vanilla launcher builds.

Simply put, Runtime Virtual Texturing or RVT is a way to blend objects with your landscape environment.
I've put a video on my youtube channel, you can learn to use it in it:
https://youtu.be/VO4RSHvu_PM?t=787
what is Runtime Virtual Texturing based on unreal engine documentation?
A Runtime Virtual Texture (RVT) creates its texel data on demand using the GPU at runtime, and works similarly to traditional texture mapping. The RVT caches shading data over large areas, making them a good fit for Landscape shading that uses decal-like materials and splines that are well suited to conform to the terrain.

some asked me about permissions so thanks for your question and concern , according to this tutorial i followed
https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/integrate-google-play-services-with-blueprint/46012
it says i need to add permission
(android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS)
which lead to this contacts message , but after testing i found that it's useless and removed it , but the update is currently being reviewed by google
and about media / storage
this is the only way for me to save the game settings after target sdk 31 , you can read about it here
https://defconnet.work/en/how-android-save-games-work-ue4-27/
for sorry, google doesnt explain why the app need such permissions so that i can tell users , also i got the badge of "family policies" and +3 age rating
if you still have any concerns you can ask me , if you are still worried about permissions , please wait for the next update to get reviewed by google

[wicked mango]

@tall stream Who made the animations in that project?

[tall stream]

@wicked mango I made all the animations myself.

[wicked mango]

Using blender?
Did you export the UE4 skeleton then work on it?

[tall stream]

Yep I use Blender. I explain my workflow here : https://sites.google.com/site/topdownrpgtemplate/documentation/code-design/skeletal-meshes
I use the UE4Tool on blender, then I export my animation to UE4 and retarget them to the default UE4 mannequin.

This solution works well for anim, but if you want to export skeletal meshes and combine them with the default UE4 mannequin (like armors), then this solution is buggy.
You need to export the UE4 mannequin to Blender, make your armor skinning using this skeleton and then export back the armor to UE4 and choose the default UE4 mannequin skeleton for it.

[wicked mango]

Awesome. I will check it out tomorrow. Cheers!

You might want to have commentary on those videos. There's not much of educational value to just watching someone doing his/her thing w/o commentary which explains the steps in more detail etc. Also lowering the music's volume would be beneficial. It's not meant to lessen your effort, just a benevolent hint. @cosmic harness

@finite hornet , thank you for your comment, unfortunately my english is not so good that I can make the videos in English (I'm German and only 17 ^^) but I definitely want to add my voice in the future. Thanks also for the tip with the music, I'll adapt it in the next videos: D

uhhhh

that sounds nice

tip for the future

show off before the tutorial

i want to see what i will learn before hand

[river dune]

I will do that also i should be more confident 😛 also if you have ideas for what i should do in the future let me know ^^

Good point. Will do it from now on!

[dull path]

and pls dont waste time with epic launcher

if people cant figure that out then they are not worth our time

[river dune]

Good point.

[dull path]

watch some mathew wadstein

he makes amazing amazing tutorials

[river dune]

I do dont worry 😛

[dull path]

❤

[river dune]

yep

But yeah if you have any requests for what i should cover next let me know ^^

[dull path]

i would love more movement shit

but

theres alot alot things

you need to figure out what you want to show

and multiplayer is a thing that you shouldnt inheritenly put in your tutorials

it makes things harder to understand

people come for basics

they will learn multiplayer rpc later

[river dune]

Well i could split it into a singleplayer part and a mp part

[dull path]

yes

and that way have more videos

first singleplayer

then add multiplayer on top

[river dune]

So have first how to set it up for single player and then multiplayer (but in one video)

[dull path]

profit

[river dune]

I dont care about profit i like to keep my stuff clean and dont want to spam posts
Dont split up stuff you could have done in a single tutorial

Lets take this conversation to pms so we dont clutter this chat.

[steady dagger]

explaining why you do something makes the best tutorial, because people learn what theyre doing then, if you just say do this and that and it works then they dont learn anything, just a tip i heard from blender guru who makes amazing tutorials

[river dune]

Hello! i wonna share my last work with u (https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Wynv2 artstation aslo contain renders and marmoset viewer)

[undone fossil]

thats really good

did you take any inspiration from warhammer 40k perchance?

@vague zealot

[vague zealot]

@undone fossil no 😃 I looked at the warhammer tanks only during texturing. I basically inspired by these two guys from the Battletech https://sun1-9.userapi.com/c830208/v830208028/17bfe5/f7SCO0m2m68.jpg https://sun1-18.userapi.com/c830208/v830208028/17bfee/k3CuF4ye39o.jpg

[undone fossil]

nice

have you looked at the artwork for planetery ahnilliation?

your stuff reminded me of it as well

still, pretty neat design

[vague zealot]

@undone fossil No. Does TA have any interesting design? How I remember there is all very cube & cylinder like =)))

[undone fossil]

some of the titans have some very intricate designs

very stylized, but they also look very nice

quite minimalistic

their style was also compilmented by their shading techniques as well

so the game fit together very well visually

funily enough one of the titans was called ATLAS

[vague zealot]

@undone fossil 😃 I called him Atlas in honor of this boi from Battletech =)) (ooh. loooks like i really take too many from battletech. =))))) ) http://orig12.deviantart.net/635f/f/2013/178/4/1/atlas_by_spooky777-d6ayj1u.jpg

It's always nice to see the end-result at the beginning, to be able to accurately judge if it's what you're looking for or not. I've seen way too many who just dive into it. Nice job!

[river dune]

Thank you @tall cargo and im trying my best to make them as educational as i can while still keeping them simple

Its still 360p wich i hope changes soon but i hope you all enjoy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bOErNKJfeE

[steady dagger]

i want to make tutorials too but idk if it will work without talking, due to my voice being terrible

[river dune]

Id not reccomend it its mainly important that you bring things across and actually teach people something wich is really hard to do with video and text.

I mean you could always make text based tutorials with images.

a couple snapshots of the work i've done in my spare time in the past month. (Looking for work always)

these textures have baked albedos for use in older game engines, or mobile platforms. I also do it because I just like the aesthetic

[formal cairn]

baked albedo's? isnt that just a diffuse?

[shut sonnet]

for the most part yes.

[formal cairn]

justice gun looks rad

[shut sonnet]

thanks, man. i spent a good bit in zbrush on that one. 3 hours, but still a good bit

[formal cairn]

not too bad hehe

[shut sonnet]

they all do have versions that are PBR though.

[hollow field]

@unreal herald looks really nice, would be good to have a quick shot of the shader complexity, maybe even showing the effect of different slice count on the output

[unreal herald]

20 slices is a pretty good slice amount and takes up about 0.7ms in this scene @hollow field

No need to see overdraw since its completely white as would be expected

[hollow field]

0.7ms on what? a 1080?

[unreal herald]

1070

[hollow field]

I'm curious how something weaker would go. Also would it work with the temporal dither thing instead of translucent?

[unreal herald]

possibly

[hollow field]

it's in motion so it might be ok

[unreal herald]

Would look like crap though i'd guess

I really dislike the way dithering looks personally, but it could work potentially

on a 1080 it runs about the same ms count

I think this is a viable option for small rooms, nothing large like a sky.

And looking back I do think I made a mistake by not changing slices/height to show what it would look like

[hollow field]

I'm doing a top down project so I might be able to get away with a bit more

thanks for sharing, it looks cool

[worn violet]

@gray yarrow problem I see that don't work as a lens flare should be, as just get out on the screen corner etc

Amazing

[loud lagoon]

I wanted to use some splinemeshes, but didn't like how the easy way meant stretching one mesh between each point (which would stretch everything unless the point were placed exactly the right distance apart)

So I made that system, then realised that a generic system to repeat meshes along a spline might be generally useful to people and thought I'd put it up on the Marketplace too

[steady dagger]

@carmine junco why have you reviewed your own game giving it 5 stars you scumbag?

[toxic cipher]

@steady dagger Read the #old-rules, respect other members of the community, your attitude and that comment is completely unwarranted.

[full delta]

@steady dagger 1. What DevilsD said
2. Because everyone does it and you're at a significant disadvantage in the search algorithms if you don't

[small lintel]

cant one like its own game? 😦

[ebon hamlet]

You obiously have to hate it after working on it for 3-5 years straight, replaying the same stuff over and over again to solve that last annoying bug.

[stuck hare]

can't wait to write a "not recommended" steam review to my own game 🤔

[brave garden]

"I am the creator and this game SUCKS"

"The creator is bad and he/she should feel bad." - The creator

[steady dagger]

im sorry but thats shady making reviews about your own products to get people to buy, if you all saw that on amazon or ebay a seller had posted reviews on each one would you defend that?

on all their own products i mean

[edgy saddle]

Sellers not only posts reviews about their products, but also spreads their reviews all over the world in different forms and places. Moreover, it's called an advertisement, which is part of the whole marketing.

[steady dagger]

no its not an ad, its supposed to a review from someone who has paid/downloaded the game and giving their genuine thoughts on it

[edgy saddle]

Nowadays, it's quite a standard you like your own posts even automatically, like on reddit.

[drowsy talon]

@steady dagger Huge difference between reviewing your own product, once, and making multiple astroturfed reviews.

You don't want to do it or don't like it, that's fine. 🤷 I get your angle.

[steady dagger]

well theres two with the last name of the publisher, probably a relatives google accout

they could all be fake who knows?

[drowsy talon]

Not you, that's for sure.

[formal goblet]

Making your own reviews on steam is punishable by not only possible deletion of the game from steam but also banning the publisher. Reviewing your own product is bad taste, and explanation " everyone is doing this" is childish.

[full delta]

Eh, I think the general response here to it is childish, honestly

[formal goblet]

It's a released section people are commenting about the product and or publisher of the product, it's a perfect place to respond. Let other developer see what other developer think.

[full delta]

That's not the part I'm calling childish, I think it's childish and ignorant to be adamant that people cannot review there own stuff. In a perfect world the fact that everyone does it doesn't mean you probably should too, but in a case like this you're at a disadvantage and it'd actively work against you if you didn't do it

I get the idealistic point of view, but unfortunately that's not really how the world works 👀

I don't actively approve or anything, let's get that straight

But as long as literally the entire mobile industry works that way I'm not going to get worked up over one particular person doing it

[formal goblet]

1 review will not change much but will showcase a bad taste or very unprofesional behavior

[full delta]

In the case of having one review or no reviews it changes a lot

(I would type a bookwork explaining that here, but I'm on my phone, so that's not happening)

[formal goblet]

You need reviews you give few free copies on the developers forum and ask for honest review if you cant spend few bucks on getting honest reviews than you dont believe in your work anyway.

[cyan hill]

I thought this channel was for sharing released projects and products

[small lintel]

where is it written that a dev cannot review its own product @formal goblet ?

[formal goblet]

On steam its prohibited there are even entire youtube channels that hunt for such developers.

[small lintel]

thats not a awnser to my question though

[formal goblet]

Check it on google im to busy now if you wont find it contack me later i will help you out

[small lintel]

When one makes a claim without being able to back it up with a legit source, all I can think of is the famous Trump answer: Fake news

[formal goblet]

The amount of info about this topic is so large you not being able to find it is called lazyness or stupidity

[small lintel]

Actually, you make a claim without backing it up with a source

so: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/reviews

there is nothing in here that says "Devs may not write a review on their own product"

The only line that may come near to such a thing is Don’t attempt to abuse or artificially manipulate the review system., which still isn't excluding devs from writing their own review in all honesty

[formal goblet]

https://youtu.be/WkKGz2nCDh4

[small lintel]

That is A) Not a legit steam source

and B) see my previous post

Don’t attempt to abuse or artificially manipulate the review system.

[formal goblet]

Making your own reviews on your own product is exactly what manipulating your steam product score review is exactly

[small lintel]

It's not, only when you start making multiple reviews with dishonesty

``` https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/0/1696046976474191051/

[finite hornet]

I dont recall words that you aren't allowed to review your own game. But ofc as soon as it's multiple accounts you will get booted from Steam.

[small lintel]

Unless you can show a legit Steam source that states its prohibited for Developers to drop a review on their own product: Dont spread disinformation

[formal goblet]

I show you video that presents people actually being banned from steam for fake reviews and you show me steam post that starts with i dont think that. Like i said im busy we can talk about this later simply contack me in few hours

[small lintel]

I started with a official Steam guide: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/reviews

which has 0 mentions of developers being prohibited from leaving a own review

You're the one who claims its prohibited, show a official Steam source with that statement

the post I quoted is from a Steam Community moderator by the way

[formal goblet]

The only line that may come near to such a thing is Don’t attempt to abuse or artificially manipulate the review system., you post it your self if you dont understand what manipulating steam review means than we have nothing more to talk about

[small lintel]

Source: https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/0/1696046976474191051/

[ebon hamlet]

The marketplace for example even allows you to rate your own product, as their way of allowing it is through owning it.
And the creator owns it, thus every new entry has a 5 star rating

[finite hornet]

If it's really good practice to review your own games.. is another question entirely of course. I know, I wouldn't do it.

[small lintel]

Ofcourse, it is morally questionable when a Dev reviews its own product, doesn't mean it is prohibited

[ebon hamlet]

Does GoogleStore work similar or is the account you play with not linked to your seller account?

It's really up to the store and if you do so, then go ahead, do all you can that is allowed to market your game.

[small lintel]

Lionardvandaag om 10:59

lmao... 1 review manipulating the whole reviewing system? Do **you** even know how it works? 😂

Only cases I can find within a few google search pages that Valve booted developers is when multiple employees write fake reviews or when they 'buy' fake reviews. None of those cases are where a Developer wrote 1 review for his own game ¯_(ツ)_/¯

So, no official Steam source that states its prohibited that a dev write a review for his own game and no (recent) known case where a dev got ban hammered from Steam for leaving a review behind on his own game

conclusion: Its allowed to review your own game

[silent zenith]

Why go off on such a mission to disprove one single statement? The overall point was clearly that this is a shitty thing to do.

[small lintel]

Because its fun

someone makes a claim without a legit source, spreading disinformation and poof urban myths

Plus... im at work and got bored ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[silent zenith]

Congrats. I'd say the consensus of people scrambling to justify something that is so clearly an attempt to deceive potential customers, because they've done it themselves, or would do it for personal gain, is one of the more depressing things I've ever read on here.

[small lintel]

Well, I agree on the part that its a shitty thing to do and morally questionable when a dev does it

[cyan hill]

I really don't understand why this conversation belongs in 'released'

I don't understand much around here though

[full delta]

I think that the assumption that we've done it ourselves or would do it for personal gain is one of the more depressing things I've read on here @silent zenith

I wouldn't, I don't really agree with reviewing your own products

I just don't think it's reasonable to call someone names over it without giving any other input on what he's asked, especially if it's something basically everyone in the mobile industry does

This entire discussion unfolded, and I'm pretty sure half of the participants have completely missed the actual conversation-starter

[sturdy dome]

all devs ask their friends to leave some initial reviews

becouse its just so critical if you are small

if you are big with a hypefest there already, no issue

but those first 2-3 reviews are incredibly critical

[full delta]

^

That was basically my point

Especially since everyone does it, it's not viable to not do it

Because you'll be at a major disadvantage to everyone else

[finite hornet]

how many friends you ask for not having an major disadvantage?

1000's? 😄

[versed nexus]

All I've come to understand by reading this is that people think it's morally wrong to TRY boosting your success rate by doing One review + asking a few friends review your work. Which may have taken thousands of hours, blood - sweat & tears.
Guess I would be counted as a person with bad moral. For the sole purpose of wanting my work to be successful

[full delta]

https://www.tenor.co/uVLK.gif

[small lintel]

@versed nexus How dare you trying to be successful and sell units of your game? 😠

[sturdy dome]

even AAA does that, im sure of it

well, they directly pay the magazines after all

[small lintel]

10/10 IGN costs just 25k

[versed nexus]

@small lintel My apologies! Should have thought about all the other millions of developers & their games that I have to compete with...

[small lintel]

😄

[dense schooner]

https://www.artstation.com/artwork/y1LvO

[carmine junco]

@steady dagger about two of the same surname being on the reviews, I got my brother to play and review my game, and he gave a legit review and criticism. Excuse me for trying to get my game more publicity, but in my opinion a developer that rates their own game badly clearly does not care about their product.

[steady dagger]

its not possible for your brother to give an unbiased review is it?

[carmine junco]

No, in the same way if someone criticises my favourite football team on a reddit discussion, It will be hard for me to give an unbiased view.

If discussions were purely only for unbiased views, you’d have a lot less “discussion” or sharing of views

If you get what I’m saying

[steady dagger]

not really

[carmine junco]

I’m saying that it’s not fair for my brother to be disallowed or shunned for sharing his opinion on my game purely because he’s my relative

His review should be seen in the same light as someone else’s, even if it may or may not be biased. As long as it’s not some random spam then it’s fine imo. If you read the review he’s given some criticism like any other player would.

[steady dagger]

at the end of the day its manipulating your rating to make money

if your fine with that then ok thats up to you, but you cant dress it up as anything else

[versed nexus]

@steady dagger Are you a game developer?

[steady dagger]

i am making a game but "aspiring" is probably more accurate right now

[versed nexus]

So... Just starting out?

[steady dagger]

yeah

[versed nexus]

Then I guess your opinion should be forgiven. You will understand with time.

[cyan hill]

I've given out quite a number of free copies of my Unity products (since Unity actually supports that) and they all still say they don't have enough reviews to show a rating

Getting ratings is hard.

[steady dagger]

@cyan hill so if anything is hard its ok to cheat?

[cyan hill]

Generally, if people like your product, they have no reason to come back to the store page

You're the one who calls this or that cheating, and as far as I can see, you were not able to post any rules it was in violation of

[glacial canopy]

if it's in compliance with the respective store's rules, it's not cheating

also steam shows whether the reviewer got the game for free and people can then decide how much they trust the review

[cyan hill]

Love how the 'released' channel is 99% not people posting things they have released

[tulip oak]

lmfao

[edgy saddle]

Personal opinion = manipulation? 🤦
That's one of most ridiculous statements I red here.

Making your own reviews on your own product is exactly what manipulating your steam product score review is exactly
Author: @formal goblet Source: https://discordapp.com/channels/187217643009212416/479798887247511570/487183505156210708

[tulip oak]

Well ofc thats manipulation

Your biased ofc to your own product

[edgy saddle]

And?

What being biased changes?

it's a review, personal opinion.

[tulip oak]

Err

Because its misleading to people?

[dense schooner]

While I agree with Benio 100% that you should not write a review for your own product I think its really trivial in this case. When I saw the review my immediate assumption was that it was one of their family members who played the game and I don't see that as dishonest even though its obviously biased. If they made fake accounts named something different to spam 5 stars then I would agree with your level of resentment.

[cyan hill]

Who gets to be the arbiter of which reviews are biased and which are not?

[edgy saddle]

@tulip oak If you think that reviews are misleading, just don't read them. You can't forbid someone making review just because he's biased more or less.

[cyan hill]

Any review could be biased

[tulip oak]

The ones that are not for self gain of the product producer or benfitical?

[cyan hill]

All reviews should be removed

[tulip oak]

Well you cant do that because you cant know, so you look what has the most value for manipulation and put stops in

Ie

[edgy saddle]

Description of game is also biased! Remove description!

[tulip oak]

Self reviewing

[cyan hill]

If you are related to the developer you basically aren't a person and should not have an opinion

[tulip oak]

Desc of game is driven by producer not the same as info wrote from users

Producer vs consumer is different

[edgy saddle]

That's not true. You can write description as a review. And producer can be consumer, too.

[cyan hill]

https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/cyber-mutant-xell-genetically-modified-hunter-stalker

[edgy saddle]

You write more and more false statements.

[novel dragon]

Wow. I didn't expect any deep discussion about releasing products to happen here.

[dense schooner]

I think its obvious being related to someone will make you much more likely to say nice things about a game they made regardless of if you actually like it. thats what people are referring to when they say that they have more bias.

[cyan hill]

Something I've released... In the 'released' channel!?

Btw, click on my product for an example of an actual biased review

[edgy saddle]

Many developers did not ever played "the whole game" during developing stage, especially they had no occasion to experience the full game gameplay, so once they ship it, they often becomes consuments, and they have a holy right o write their own review.

[tulip oak]

Err no how can a block of general information for consumer be the same as block of info giving feedback and self experiance by consumer be the same? Apple != orange

Wtf are u mad

Mant devs did not ever play whole game

Have u lost your marbles

How do y work on something with out testing it

[cyan hill]

Why would any one dev be testing the whole game?

Developers != play testers

[dense schooner]

This discussion is devolving into randomness

[tulip oak]

Do u have any idea what your saying?

How do u dev with out testing

[gentle violet]

I guess it's true for big studios

[dense schooner]

^

[cyan hill]

I just wanted a channel where I see what products people have released and share my own.

[tulip oak]

U would 100% still have to test tour work

[cyan hill]

I have about a decade of professional experience btw

[tulip oak]

Before u push it to testing

I feel u have 0 exp

And are a troll

[cyan hill]

Yeah, if I implemented an animation, I will test that the animation works

I will not be spending 8 hours before each push playing the whole game over

[tulip oak]

Well not shit but thats not same thing

[cyan hill]

If my job is some kind of backend I might not ever touch gameplay

[tulip oak]

Saying devs dont play there game != 8 hour play test every push

[cyan hill]

"Wtf are u mad
Mant devs did not ever play whole game
Have u lost your marbles"

"whole game"

[tulip oak]

Well yeah ofc not thats pretty abstract

Im not even gonna bother replying this is karol 3.0 level shit, troll center

Thanks for the chat

[cyan hill]

If you see your own quotes as trolling, I think that makes you the troll

[novel dragon]

I think it's worth noting that evidence suggests you probably shouldn't review your own games on Steam.

[cyan hill]

The last review is in captivity. The galaxy is at peace.

[novel dragon]

If your game launches with no reviews in the first few days, that's probably an sign that there are problems you can't fix by adding one or more reviews from the people who made the game.

[cyan hill]

I wouldn't review my own stuff, but I also wouldn't tell every acquaintance of mine they were blacklisted from giving their opinion.

[fathom kraken]

what if you refund your own game

do you make money back?

[novel dragon]

You can't.

[edgy saddle]

I think we began this discussion to see if you can or not review your own game, not if you should or not.

I see no evidence to the statement that we can't.

[short sandal]

I think you can but if you do steam will not like it.

[novel dragon]

But there is evidence that you shouldn't, and I think that's more important.

[cyan hill]

Well, every dev who works on a game must play the whole game, so shows what you know.

[novel dragon]

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

[edgy saddle]

@cyan hill That's obviously not true.

[fathom kraken]

@novel dragon whats the evidence that ypu shpuldnt?

[cyan hill]

Apparently it wasn't very obvious.

[novel dragon]

@fathom kraken There are documented cases of Valve pulling games because the developers submitted positive reviews for their own games.

[fathom kraken]

i will accept that as feasible evidenxe

[cyan hill]

If its against the TOS then they should be pulled

[novel dragon]

In contrast, I know of no documented cases where someone reviewing their own game had a positive impact.

Maybe I could dig one up with enough research, but that's where I stand right now based on the evidence.

[fathom kraken]

i think commenting on a bad review would be a better option? try to reach out and provide support to the angry client

[novel dragon]

I agree. That's far more productive.

[cyan hill]

That's kinda sorta what I did on Xell

[novel dragon]

I totally understand why someone might release a game, see no reviews, get scared and take drastic measures. I just don't think this is a drastic measure worth taking, given the evidence and the high risk factor.

[fathom kraken]

i dont have much experienxe but i once wrote a bad review about a game and they replied ans told me how to get over my issues, and thej i changed it to positive

[cyan hill]

Steam customers at least probably don't feel entitled for you to work for them for free after they buy your product

"I bought PUBG, build a shed for me and I will give 5 stars."

[fathom kraken]

well i meant stardew valley and they helped me in a sense of letting me know i could sell my items next to the house

[steady dagger]

Revieving ur stuff positively can flag ur account

Use other acc and IP

Or dont do it

[full delta]

Any evidence for that?

[cyan hill]

I quit my job as a Senior Software Engineer to start development of this SciFi strategy game on August 1st, 2018. I am a single developer. I stream it's development everyday, and plan to work on this game for the next 5 years. Kickstarter is in November 15th, Alpha release is on December 15th. This also for anyone here that is interested in actual UE4 development of a full production videogame (I record it all 100%), or if you like to play RTS games.

The game is now playable today. Servers are up 24/7. Multiplayer is working, if you wanna play bring some friends cuz this game is 5v5 (or 2v2 min) Download link: https://syedaman.itch.io/genesis

[rugged wasp]

Check out my search engine for unreal engine 4 developers. Where you only find unreal engine related Websites.

https://unrealsearch.com

[stuck hare]

not sure how it is better than using google properly

maybe im doing it wrong 😄

first 5 results are ads which have nothing to do with unreal 🤷

[tulip oak]

lmfao

looks like its just to make $

dont bother with it

also it wont pick up really specific stuff

like when a class name that is super rare in use will only return hits to sites like the Chinese help ones which u have to translate

yeah

confirmed

its shit

get 5 adds

and 0 good return

searching for FDesignerSurfaceElement

[rugged wasp]

@stuck hare

Sry for the ads, but I can not disable or reduce them they are from Google. Only Non-Profit-Organisations can run custom search with out ads. And for now, i dont know how hard it to get this status from google. But i think it would be great to finance this project with no ads and with other ways like patreon. If You know Any way to block the ads i have No Problem with it for now i earn no money from the ads.

[tulip oak]

Well your search does not even work

i get no results back for FDesignerSurfaceElement

i get the wiki / doc and thats it

[rugged wasp]

@tulip oak
For example what results or website did you wanted ?

[tulip oak]

anything to do with the FDesignerSurfaceElement

just returning white listed websites just makes it a bit pointless

[rugged wasp]

What Browser do you use for now I mostly testet it on chrome and Firefox.

[tulip oak]

chrome

[dull path]

i typed in gay

was not dissappointed

[bronze moss]

lol

[edgy saddle]

@stuck hare One does not simply disable adblock 🙃

[short sandal]

@rugged wasp how is that resource different from just using google with ue4 c++ <query> or ue4 bp <query>?

or, for that matter, ue4 sequencer <query>, etc

[stuck hare]

I had it enabled 🤷 not sure what happened

[rugged wasp]

The normal ad blocker cannot block google ads.

Or there is no ad blocker that can block Google ads.

@short sandal You can only find the links I've added to the search filter, but the search algorithm is the same as Google's. Currently, unreal Search is mainly searching the forum and some other websites. But If you know any good websites that I should add to the search engine you can tell me that.

[short sandal]

Iunno, seems kinda moot tbh

You're only ever filtering out resources. A blacklist would be better than a whitelist. For instance, you could blot out results from known sources of malinformation

perhaps a bit overboard, but I just don't see the point in whitelisting particular links.

I mean, I'm likely to just open VS and search the code - or use the method I mentioned earlier.

If you want your search to kick off and be useful, you need to figure out how to beat standard google fu

am I wrong tho

[rugged wasp]

Programming a own good algorithm is a way to hard. But unreal engine-4-specific synonyms and other rank priorities can make a difference.

[tulip oak]

idk i tested it and its only ever blocked good results google has pushed through

[pearl vector]

AdBlock plus does not block all ads, use ublock origin

[edgy saddle]

AdNauseum is ublock's fork that actually clicks ads in background so it's impossible to detect it, and authors still gets paid for our clicks. It's a win-win situation, because we don't see ads, and authors still gets paid from ads. And ublock removes ads income from authors.

But it's officially banned, because it's too good and undetectable.

[pearl vector]

that is why I said ublock origin by gorhill

[cyan hill]

"officially banned" by who?

It seems like chrome's latest update makes it become unusable while my current adblock is turned on, so I'm in the market for a replacement

Oh, I see. Google thinks it can prevent me from installing it on Chrome

[timber skiff]

I pref ublock origin as well

[drowsy talon]

@edgy saddle That sounds like it'd end up supporting ads for things you don't necessarily want to support, though... but this whole subject doesn't seem like #released subject matter.

And I am a day late to this. Woops.

[sterile ether]

Gosh, that one looks soo good ! 😮 Nice work !

[worn violet]

@haughty temple show us the wireframe

[worn violet]

Option A. You made the models and don't even pose it properly.<even if you're animator> And you improved your texturing and modeling skills in 5 months x10
Option B. You used Daz3D or Poser using the base Genesis woman character or Victoria 4 and even applied a default pose made for normal boots and you don't even noticed the foots are wrong placed
@haughty temple tell me what will be

https://www.daz3d.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/960x1248/17f82f742ffe127f42dca9de82fb58b1/0/0/00-main-ultrahd-iray-hdri-with-dof-medieval-seaside-daz3d.jpg

Is fine if you make poses etc if you own the tools and software in legal ways, but you should say what actually used cause Artstation don't say nothing about it

[haughty temple]

I have removed it from my profile it was a project i had to do as a freelance character artist client was ok with daz props .

&characters

[worn violet]

yeah no problemo

just make sure you use the custom license for gamedev

yea it was for a short film the client was going to use it anyways.still i am not sure about the licenses it was purchased and that is all the information i have need to check the licenses.

[torpid turret]

@flint flint awesome job 😃

and quite the stepup from the crab one 😄

[flint flint]

@torpid turret thank you! 😃

[worn violet]

@flint flint awesome, how the hell you did the lens flares from the lights helicopter etc, are from the new bloom system or ?

[torpid turret]

@worn violet yeah looks like convolution bloom

https://i.imgur.com/4UmZ3gZ.png

looks awesome, but performance is horrible, so only usable for pre rendered stuff

[worn violet]

yeah but that other than cinematics is a nightmare

the video is 4k and you can notice the engine errors with blur/aa

on the chopper mainly

[torpid turret]

yeah

that said, motion blur on rotations never looked good in unreal

it will once they implement that radial blur stuff we talked about a few weeks ago

[worn violet]

well they did better before, they replaced the motion blur, before wasn't this thing but whole screen thing

now you can't get blur for full screen

other than making a custom shader

[flint flint]

@worn violet Thanks! Yeah it’s just the convolution bloom system, since it only hat to hit 24fps at 4K I could get away with it

@torpid turret they are implementing a new motion blur???

[torpid turret]

wait you captured your video in realtime ?

[flint flint]

I would love that

It ran real-time but I cached out pngs for better control in post

Post being basic color correction in premiere 😄

[torpid turret]

hmm

so you haven't used the sequence exporter ?

also, no idea if they are actively devving it at Epic for the blur, but there was some samples popping on twitter not so long ago

@flint flint https://twitter.com/AlanNoon/status/868111915406544896

Alan Noon (@AlanNoon)

I regret this sample took lower priority and didn't get finished for release. Super cool technique used on our #UE4 Raven GDC demo #gamedev

Twitter

thing is, Alan is now at Magic Leap, he left Epic 😅

[flint flint]

@torpid turret yeah I did use the sequencer exporter set to png

And ah I hope they get back to it

It’s the one area that suffers pretty heavily for cinematics

[torpid turret]

yeah

would love some smooth per object motion blur

afaik you don't need to run realtime to export with the sequencer exporter

you can have a scene running at 10fps and still be able to render at 4k60fps

[flint flint]

@torpid turret yeah that’s true but it feels terrible working at 10fps and is really hard to time things and see how it’ll look

Feels much nicer working at 60+FPS then rendering 4K 24fps

I don’t know how offline render people have the patience to be honest, not being able to see final pixels. UE4 is a real game changer in that regard even if it can’t achieve the same quality, but things will improve with the RTX stuff

Especially if you’ll be able to just crank sample settings at render time but work nicely in real-time

[torpid turret]

Yeah cannot wait !

Hi! I just released my game, Hello Math, on Google Play.
It's a simple math game where players need to solve math problems within the time limit.

Synopsis:

People couldn't process numbers the way they used to be. 
A slight exposure caused extreme dizziness and nausea. 
The exact cause was unknown, but scientists believed it was a side effect of technological advancement.

During that time, a certain organization came up with an experiment to raise children who could withstand math.
They called it, operation "Hello Math".```
Please kindly try it if you have some free time.
Feedbacks and reviews are greatly appreciated!

I guess this qualifies as "project" 😄 https://github.com/0lento/UnrealEngine/tree/4.20-GameWorks

that's basically custom ports from Nvidia's 4.19 techs running on 4.20.3 and merged in single repo

[torpid turret]

@sick swan ohboi

VRWorks when though :p

[sick swan]

it could probably be possible to include now that there isn't VXGI merged to it

but it would be still hard considering it will most likely clash with other rendering related techs

I looked at it in the 4.18 days and it wasn't a task one would just take "for fun" 😄

main issue with VRWorks is tho that I don't even have proper gear to test it with

And I've been working on it since early July.

ya got a trailer for it?

[silver terrace]

yes sure but can you explain to me why you would say free

@short sandal this weekend i will release it in few weeks

[short sandal]

2 weeks or so out, no trailer :/

Alright well ig you could sell for like $5

[silver terrace]

5$ !! really I was thinking more like $1 or 2$

@short sandal

has anybody played it?

@short sandal @hexed marlin thank you for your opinions. I think I'll keep the "free" model. I didn't do it for the money at the base and it will allow more feedback from the players.

[hexed marlin]

yeah, getting a free game out there is a good idea imo

it'll be too steep to get new players on board with a payment, and if you read into the player analytics you'll see that new players drops significantly as soon as you make any payment; whether $1, $2 or $5

[silver terrace]

@hexed marlin ok tahnks

[astral dust]

@silver terrace Frankly, it's better not to release a first game commercially

Free is fine, since a first game will always suck, no offense

I'd put it on something like Itch, get some players to review it, improve on it a bit

As to money, a regular well-built game on Steam with a decent trailer and some marketing will do something like 100 copies these days

No trailer means you're going for zero sales anyway

[silver terrace]

@astral dust thank you for you advice 😉

[steady dagger]

Agreed

I know a guy that's made a steady supplemental income stream from selling on steam

and his game is pretty bad, no offense

he is a single father though

His biggest boost in sales came from a youtube channel that made a video playing his terrible game

We're making steady supplemental income too, but the data say it's not really common

That was a long, long project

[stuck hare]

can you share anything about your sales @astral dust ?
does the review * 50 works well to estimate sold copies in your case?

[astral dust]

Yeah, it does. We're at 3500-ish IIRC

[stuck hare]

also, what do you think about early access as noname indie?

won't people just assume that you won't finish the game?

as a customer I would be very careful with a noname studio's early access title if there isn't much activity around it 😢

[astral dust]

They definitely do just that. Still, some tried. Those who were into it but didn't want an EA title wishlisted it

[stuck hare]

I see, thanks

[drowsy talon]

@astral dust Looks like an X game. Am interested. 'grats!

[astral dust]

Thanks ! It kind of is like an X game, in some regards

The code is there, too, for you C++ maniacs

https://github.com/arbonagw/HeliumRain/

Please don't judge me (:

[analog orbit]

Congrats on the release!

[astral dust]

Thanks

[sturdy dome]

👍

btw @astral dust did you check my hovercraft game that i open sourced too? Thats what "i" think its good design

[astral dust]

I didn't

I should though especially if there's MP

[sturdy dome]

there is no MP

its mostly designed as an example of "gofast" workflow

C++ utilities/base on a blueprint game

[astral dust]

ok

[sturdy dome]

https://github.com/vblanco20-1/HoverGame

funny enough, this was made before epic games showed their "blueprints + C++" article in the documentation

but uses something very similar

@astral dust build commands?????????????

yo thats seriously good shit

[astral dust]

Eheh

[sturdy dome]

thanks a lot mate, im stealing that

including git version code.. amazing

can do you similar with perforce?

i will try to make that thing work with my game, with pc and ps4 builds

python is just so damn good for small scripts, really

i should use it more

[astral dust]

Dunno about Perforce on that

But yeah, Python rocks

[sturdy dome]

i have a book i got from humble

python for automation

it shows how to create small automation scripts for business stuff

like "lets send a mail to 20 people with changing names, by using the names from a excel file" and things like that

or "create a program that creates a pdf invoice automatically from a template"

[proud sentinel]

gets much more powerful once you start using generators and the more advanced optimizations for performance boosts on large datasets. Simplest case range vs xrange which can be used for magnitude of millions/billions in any position. Another example would be chunking a 4GB file for # of lines in an instant

somewhat amused that Maya started nerfing their MEL and Python hook-ins. Guess they realized you could do a lot more with python than their inner app for advanced animations/etc

at least for the lower tier full license*

thanks for posting the reference projects @astral dust and @sturdy dome . Will go through them more after some sleep

also, cool projects folks!

[sturdy dome]

@astral dust you still frontpaged on r/games

thats basically the best you can do in reddit

r/gaming is much more memey, but r/games is home of more serious players, so being frontpaged there should get you lots of high value traffic

[astral dust]

/r/pcgaming got us loads of traffic

[sturdy dome]

oh, its even more popular there

160 comments

also, damn good launching point

right when star citizien does news, so people are looking at the forums and similar

do you have details about the traffic?

given its pretty much a "best case scenario" reddit advertising execution

[astral dust]

It's pretty good, we've had something like 10k views per hour

Translating to something like 500 sales since yesterday

[steady dagger]

thanks for the freebie @astral dust

[sturdy dome]

nice

[steady dagger]

https://majik-games.itch.io/pumpkin-thief

[dull path]

i played

was nice

but you have to learn alot.

that icon thingy... you can fix it under project settings, tragetted platforms - windows

your footsteps are just a sound that starts playing when starting to walk XD

[steady dagger]

@dull path isn't that how footsteps work? XD

It's 5 footstep sound effects btw

[dull path]

my system recognizes the ground

so when you jump you make 2 steps

different volumes for sound

[steady dagger]

I have only 1 ground type :200iq:

[dull path]

and they only happen when you actually move

i dont feel it

[steady dagger]

You have to teach me how to make footsteps properly

And if I would've had more ground types I would have actually had different sound per type

And you can't jump in my game :300iq:

[dull path]

its ok

your next game is gunna be better :3

[steady dagger]

Yeah

It will be a detective game about mannequins

[dull path]

i am in for it!

[steady dagger]

But you will teach me how to do footsteps right

[dull path]

ofc

[steady dagger]

I will dm you tomorrow

[dull path]

ok

[steady dagger]

And you will give me footstep sound effects too because finding sfx is pain in the ass

(last step is optional)

[dull path]

i cant just give you mine XD

but i can help a bit :3

its very easy

[steady dagger]

Ok now I will go to sleep because school

Byeee

[dull path]

good night spooks.

[steady dagger]

Spoopy night xd

Daily reminder to never send review keys to emails you can't positively confirm to be the Youtuber or press reviewer it claims to be

We've been investigating it here, out of curiosity

We've proven that scammers entirely automate the process, including finding the Youtuber to spoof the ID of

Didn't thought it was that serious a business

[dull path]

Those keys are send in direct mails XD but thx for the reminder

should be obv

[astral dust]

I'm actually going to write up something on it, because holy shit, this is a serious business

The guy is positively raking in absurd amounts of money

[dull path]

what guy

[astral dust]

Thread on key scammers and how big a business it is

TLDR : don't give out Steam keys if you can avoid it

[dull path]

WHY DID YOU WROTE ALL THIS!

ok

[astral dust]

Know your enemy

I bought my own game to know it.

[pearl vector]

haha yes, we got a similar thing with our beta test 😄

[hollow field]

@astral dust nice write up, thanks.

Follow-up on my previous Steam key scamming message : if you've never sold Steam keys yourself through bundles or direct sale, please search for your game on Kinguin, tell me of your game if you find hits

[stuck hare]

I don't have any, but I just ignored those weird key requests. Should I send them a key? 🤔

Here's a PSVR game we released a few days ago on PSVR. It's a on-rails first person shooter game. Go check it out!

Also we're giving Sony half a year of exclusitivity so even though I know the trailer says Steam in it, the game won't be released on Steam until early next year and is currently only avaiable on PSVR
