Hey guys, I'm currently working with my colleagues on game called Ironsmith: Medieval Simulator. The game itself will be a sandbox genre where player has ability to make his own decisions and actions, where the main goal is to become an artisan in blacksmithing. Ironsmith focuses mainly on unique crafting system - as this feature is mostly emphasized on our production.
The Key concepts are following:
*Specialised crafting system for blacksmithing, which required unique approach with doing tools and weapons
-
Sandbox genre located in medieval town.
-
Dynamic economy which will change during gameplay.
-
Every player will be able to make his own blueprints/schematics of weapons/armors so the crafting itself will be highly customisable
*Co-op/Multiplayer. We strongly want that to happen in our game so people can exchange schematics or just do typical things with each other.
Here are some screenshots (we have a lot more, trailer is coming soon as well, but i don't want to spam with images here):
I tried to add even more, but Mr. Clyde unfortunately prevents me from doing it because of "Inappropriate content"
If you are interested about that project, I am more than happy to see your feedback. Also, if you have any ideas what would you like to see in our game I strongly encourage you to let me know what would you like to see in final release.

hot steel included 😉 Tell me guys, what would you like to see / do in this simulator, apart from smithing, forging etc. 😃
eternal spade
You mean trade with another player?
solar compass
sour sluice
So you'd have to actually be next to the person, interact with them and then sell them items
They try to haggle the price ect
eternal spade
You mean with NPCs as well, or only with players? Because we are planning to implement that feature anyway if it comes about real people.
You will be able to sell any items you want actually and haggle the price. Obviously with NPCs, most of the prices will be constant, however there are some events which can affect the prices negatively/positively (New copper mine built in the area, prices increasing because of war etc.)
sour sluice
Both other players and NPCs
eternal spade
https://imgur.com/a/Cr32xvX here is the link for third screenshot, which has been banned by clyde for some reason.
sour sluice
You could easily get NPCs to haggle the price too
eternal spade
I will discuss it with a team but I think it is a good idea 😃
river beacon
that's a nice idea
eternal spade
No, I'm afraid we didn't think about that. But when I'm thinking about that now, I think it will be great thing to have one. But I'm not quite sure if we can link it in here. I will need to check if it does not break any rules. 😃
urban ivy
it does break the rules. XD
i checked yesterday and reread all the rules. lol
because i was wondering what im allowed to post about our game as well
sour sluice
Loads of people have posted links to their games
That is what this channel is all about
urban ivy
games yes. discord servers no.
eternal spade
@urban ivy Ok I see. Thanks for the info 😃
urban ivy
but your link could contain a link to discord. lol
i guess mainly just no asking for people to buy it
sour sluice
The hardest thing is getting your game and discord ect to a lot of people
eternal spade
If that's true well then all I can do I can send you a private message if you are interested, once we establish one.
sour sluice
Yeah sure
eternal spade
as I don't want to violate any rules here 😃
sour sluice
I had another idea for the game
eternal spade
It is hard, that's true. That's why you need to use different sources, facebook, twitter, game developer's forums etc.
However we strongly put emphasis on people's feedback. As we developers can't be always sure what people would like in our production
that's why we are trying to get people engaged and tell us what they would like to see in our game. Because we have plenty of ideas for Ironsmith, and there are also plenty of them not yet discovered which could be crucial for unique gameplay and entertainment.
What was it?
If you wish, you can like our page on facebook https://www.facebook.com/IronSmith-535292180242159/ it's VERY work in progress, but soon we will start with updating it.
We've just start doing all social things exactly today 😛
And we are going to make discord server as well. Its great idea.
sour sluice
The other idea was for players to be able to open like franchises, getting other players to work for them for a wage and then employing NPCs. I think that would be awesome. So if people can't afford to open their own blacksmith they have to work for other players until they have enough to buy a shop
I love games where you start from the bottom and have to work up
Don't think there are much games that do it effectively enough
eternal spade
Well we did not discuss what equpiment will player have at the beginning of the game. However, I think there will be no problem for experienced players with accumulated wealth to hire other player to assist them in their tasks. Because our system includes the idea where you can join other's people game/world by invitation (via steam). So you could actually hire players from Tavern for money/items/schematics.
If it comes about hire NPCs - yes we wanna do it in game. They will perform simple tasks for you - such as buying essential items from market and deliver them to your venue's storage etc.

final kestrel
After small break im back with my scene! The main inspiration source were scottish higlands. Main focus was to achieve foggy mood and lighting mainly without sun. Something like after rain maybe. It was a good practice with UE4 after small break and also good practice to work with Megascans. Whole scene (except for terrain) is boosted by Megascans with some custom materials created with Mixer. Im so happy how is it fast and comfortable to work with Quixel Megascans and Bridge!

In this game you must take care of several generations of alien-like creatures and evaluate one of them before moving on to the next generation. Your evaluation will be collected so I can validate my assessment tool. Data will only be collect after the game congratulates you for contributing for science.

Here is my game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/704470/VR_Furballs__Demolition/ Took me almost 2 years, working on it completely solo. It's a highly polished VR title. You will probably recognize some assets in there, I had to do a lot of recycling on the art side, since my background is programming (not art). But the result is a stunning VR title that is pleasing a lot of people out there.
There is a FREE DEMO as well!

@heavy violet Looks like you're using Google Translate here
heavy violet
@astral dust You mean inside the game? Or on the Steam page. Actually I did not. I had friends translating it. Did you see anything strange in the localization?
astral dust
The French translation feels odd
Like using plenty of title case (This Is So Great), which isn't used in French
Some things are outright wrong ("mise-à-jour" is never spelled with dashes, some grammar is wrong too)
Overall it just feels like a Google Translate job
I know localization isn't easy - we've basically decided not to do it at all, rather than doing it wrong

Haha I am French... qu'est-ce que t'as trouvé bizarre ? 😄

Motion sickness ?
bronze garnet
@heavy violet are u a puffle?
lone void
we've gotten motion sickness pretty well under control imo.
poor frame rate and frame/stutter can make it happen, or simply allowing player "lean" in any axis via controls while head stays in same axis
that will automatically convince brain that you've got an orientation disconnect due to food poisoning, thus releasing contents of stomach
see oculus game "AirCar" for best example of how to make people sick

Hello, we just released our editor lightmap tools plugin https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/not-yet-lightmap-tools
pearl vector
it saves the lightmap resolution to a file 😄
when you reset the LR for unselected actors it loads from that
worn violet
o_o
about select, could be more interesting if you let bake by some kind of area brush
like add in the world a area and then select what area to bake, the area just read the actors in the area
rather than select each time
pearl vector
so you use the brush as selection?
worn violet
you select the brush and press bake
rather than select every actor in the area, the brush system does it
just need to be placed at the first by the creator of the map
worn violet
well imagine you have the a bank build with all the meshes inside etc
you would rather have a brush that cover the whole build and indoors and read automatically all the items inside so bake only by selecting the brush
or you rather select every item in the bank build manually
pearl vector
how does the brush know how to select all items in the bank tho, sounds complicated
worn violet
well the map developer makes a brush like the collision one in the editor
and the brush should get in radius and area every actor to be baked when your press bake
🤔
thorn gate
btw my current workflow is to organize level parts in folders so that I can easily select them
on the other hand box select in wireframe mode seems more precise than a brush
for me at least 😄
pearl vector
another plugin released 😅 this one is a task system https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/not-yet-task-system
worn violet
@thorn gate if you can select each time the same items
worn violet
is about save time
thorn gate
ok if you don't want to use folders or groups for this purpose
box collision bake is faster
worn violet
a folder or group means you have to asign each time you add a new item to that group, if you define an area of the "tunnel" you can place things there and then auto read the content there
thorn gate
sure I accept you are right 😄
and thx for the hint

@keen glacier checked out your artstation page and the recent projects are a big step up w.r.t. lighting. did you just get better or is lighting exteriors just way, way harder?
keen glacier
@glacial canopy Alot of my previous projects were commissions made in the Source Engine, so I couldn't really experiment with the lighting that much like in UE4. It all depends on the scene generally, but there are tricks for exterior lighting as well. Indoor lighting seems much easier for me, but I'm gonna try to prototype and make my next scene outdoors and see how that works out.

Do u mean blueprint nativization? The plugin is all in c++

@normal leaf Aye, but it needs to package correctly 😉
With every matchup there is hopefully
(i.e., nothing preventing it from somehow affecting builds)

Ah ok gotcha
I really hope I haven't screwed anything up so it screws up people's builds haha
but it shouldn't affect it at all since it's just moving around the nodes on the graph

@astral hornet not even the Epic plugins works with nativize
And tbh the comments plugin shouldn't affect nativize and you don't need it on ship builds

@hybrid rose are you making some sort of hospital game?
or is this just for the portfolio
hybrid rose
@steady dagger
The Scene is part of a school assigment. But I am planning to use the expertise to (in the end) create a modular library of props and building pieces with which a huge hospital can be build. I got a game idea as a background too, but for now I focus on getting the assets to create some proof of concept on a visual level. The final building might be a lot different to this though, since I am still concepting and testing out different art styles and ways to approach modular building pieces 😃
And of course its for the portfolio too. Originally I had most of the meshes UV-Layouted but I got in contact with a possible employer on a workshow and we talked about another project where I used triplanar projection - so I decided to use this Scene to Showcase it for my application too 😄
fathom kraken
@astral dust idk why you keep saying that... ive used it for a mobile project where 100% of it is nativized
and it runs 100% fine
full delta
I'm actually curious about the reasons for/against nativizing
So if a discussion ensues, let me know!
fathom kraken
so far for me : Reasons for: performance... reasons against: having to fix a bunch of blueprints to make it work... i have a HUGE project where nativization is just a pain in the butt to get working, but its also a huge game... but for my mobile game i started from the first build nativizing it, and its worked thus far... i've seen the livestreams where they say nativization makes the game faster... so idk , performance gains is always a benefit ... i think its always like: does it run at 60fps on a potatoe. yes: dont touch it, no: do something to make it faster (nativize if you are cpu bound [like on mobile])
astral dust
Just use C++
astral dust
It will be faster than nativized Blueprints, it will work much more reliably, will be easier to maintain, less likely to break on engine updates
Of course if you don't know anything about C++, and your project is running at 50fps instead of 60, and you're CPU bound, then sure, try nativized
But it shouldn't be your default option

Also wondering if it's based on the no longer supported https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/fixit ?

my plugin is much more sophisticated, with better workflow, it's nicer, working with current version of ue4 and couple of interesting things are coming in the near future

Gotcha. Always interested in "Quality of Life" editor plugins! No need for it at the moment but I can see it being useful during level design and such

@modest fable annoying tool
XD
now imagine i f i place them everywhere XD i will get so annoyed by all the work!!!
modest fable
you should improve your workflow then..what about to put the notes to sublevel for instance? Now also imagine its's bigger map and you need to keep some notes in level
dull path
i like how you added a new modo tab
it could be pretty useful :3
you didnt show in your video what finished tasks look like
do they vanish from the editor but stay in the list?
like a bugtracker?

yeah, it goes away from the list and world
modest fable
you have focus and complete..that's it
sure, this can be done
I'm open to feature requests

i sadly dont have mon mon right now
but i would only buy this if the fixes stay
its great to see solved tickets
gives a sense of work that was behind the map

agree...I will do that in the next version

❤
thats literally what differs it from sticky notes then
keeping a proper list :3
i asked myself why epic didnt put that into the system by default
modest fable
perfect, thanks for the idea
in the very next release there will be config so you can choose your own colors and scale of the notes, because every project use different scale and colors
dull path
will there be a new tab in project settings then?

I would also make a suggestion, to support 4.20 as well.
modest fable
@versed nexus will do that

i would need those profiles bc i would my reports to look grouped
so like only 1 green color

Any Zelda (Twilight Princess) fans here? I've been spending the last few months on this piece. I recreated the scene outside Link's house. I'd love a remake of Twilight Princess like this. Maybe if I recreate enough of it, Nintendo will take note and just do it. Pipe dream.

Would love to know how you did the rockwall here and the foliage on top if possible @unique hamlet
unique hamlet
@sly narwhal For foliage and that rock texture I used megascans.com textures. But for the modelling of the foliage, I just did my best to replicate my plant references using as little geo as possible. If you have more questions (I know that wasn't super detailed haha) you can DM (PM?) me
ancient pivot
@unique hamlet Nice you model all of that yourself? it looks great and defiantly looks like the same game but more modern

@unique hamlet Could you take the same screenshot with Foliage turned off?
Seeing the geo underneath would be cool.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9ybAgwYnjk im probably going to get yelled at for posting this here because its a WIP, I just want to show a fellow Zelda fan, but this is the lost woods from a Link to the Past that I made

sick swan
@grave lodge you know, putting all those disclaimers are not going to take away the fact that you are not allowed to share this info publicly
while Epic does give you free download to Paragon assets, they are still under UE EULA's marketplace and UE-Only Content terms
grave lodge
Well il get in touch with epic games an ask them
sick swan
yeah, I suggest you do that
fresh falcon
dead wrong chief
sick swan
@fresh falcon ?
grave lodge
Ive sent some emails to epic games to double check but, if that was the case then literally all the youtube tutorials going over the paragon stuff is breaking their EULA too?
short sandal
others do it was a brilliant defense that really worked for Apeiron
grave lodge
Well I mean I really doubt they're going to be mad that im helping promote their work/educate their community all for free 
short sandal
that was kinda close to a brilliant defense that really worked for Apeiron
sick swan
so, if you sold some material/shader packs on the marketplace, you'd be fine with people posting detailed breakdowns how you did it online?
it's free promotion?
sick swan
yes
sick swan
it's part of the deal that you use ue4
grave lodge
Good thing my tutorial is in UE4 then right?
ya doink
I dont mean to insult you but you're kind of stretching it here..
sick swan
huh
grave lodge
We'll see what epic says and il get back to you
sick swan
you should really read the EULA again
you're bound by it
so many people somehow think there's no real copyrights involved when they can download something for free
grave lodge
Im reading it now il let you know
sick swan
but in fact you are bound by all the same terms as with paid assets
grave lodge
thats not even from the right company one sec
sick swan
grave lodge
I dont think they'll get in a twist about it tbh
and like I mentioned Its much more honest than just taking the shader changing a few things and saying "hey look what I made"
grave lodge
The point is I think you're getting worked up over nothing
tbqh
But if it comes back that im not allowed to, il let you know an apologise how about that
sick swan
this has nothing to do with me
and you should ask for permissions before you publish you know 😃
it's totally possible Epic is fine by this
but how the terms are written, you can't share detailed info like this online without permission
grave lodge
But I mean imagine the community backlash if they enforced something like that
sick swan
reason why I pointed that out is because it can backfire on you, people in this industry don't in general like when others don't respect others IPs
grave lodge
Well obviously I am respecting it by being extremely clear that they created it
an not in any trying to pass it off as my own
sick swan
still you share all the info for example Unity users on how to recreate a proprietary Paragon effect
well, that technique is probably not that huge secret even
but I wouldn't know that
grave lodge
You could look at it that way sure but I dont think im going to put any kind of a dent in UE4's trillion dollar fortnite income anytime soon
Anyways we will see what they say and il get bcak to you

Hey guys my next Paragon breakdown/tutorial is here. This time were taking what we learnt from the first one and adding a growth effect so we can grow our Ice over time. Check it out here and let me know what you think! https://www.artstation.com/artwork/XBJ1La Blog post here: https://www.artstation.com/kanoba/blog/ZobV/paragon-ice-growth-shader-breakdown
raven condor
just curious, did epic give you the ok this time?
full delta
Why would they need to?
ebon hamlet
As far as I remember, stuff that Epic offers, like the Assets or just learning resources, are not allowed to be shared outside of the Launcher.
Because everyone who accesses these should have to log into the Launcher and so accept the EULA etc.
Creating a "tutorial" on how to create such an asset is technically removing the need to go through the Launcher, allowing people to use Epic's assets without having to accept the EULA
That's why he is not allowed to do that.
@full delta @raven condor @grave lodge
If Epic is really against him doing that is another story
full delta
Iirc the only thing was that the assets are only for use with UE4
dull path
I really see grey here
full delta
That's the only limitation I'm aware of
ebon hamlet
That's at least what I got told couple years ago.
raven condor
@ebon hamlet yea he mentioned he was going to contact epic, was just curious what they said
dull path
People still have to create it themselves
ebon hamlet
We had to remove Threads etc. on the Forums because people were reuploading the Assets that epic offered.
Even if they were for free
@dull path That's not the point
dull path
Yee that should not be ok
ebon hamlet
The correct way (which doesn't exist) to share such a tutorial is through the launcher
Or make something else that does not exactly recreate Epic's stuff
In the end I could care less what he is uploading, but it would still be nice to ask Epic.
Just ignoring the fact and hoping they won't say anything is def the wrong way.
small lintel
Creating a "tutorial" on how to create such an asset is technically removing the need to go through the Launcher, allowing people to use Epic's assets without having to accept the EULA
next level pirating
ebon hamlet
:P That's what we got told for reuploading the free assets
A Tutorial that exactly creates the asset is kinda the same
And it's really easy to just ask Epic if they mind or not
I would tag Tim, but it's Saturday and they are on vacation mode
small lintel
his orb is green, im sure he's online right now 😛
ebon hamlet
Doesn't matter. I don't want to get pinged on Saturdays for work either
raven condor
meh, that just means his phones on lol, let him be
ebon hamlet
It's really easy. Ask Epic if you are allowed to create Tutorials on how to create the Paragon Assets and upload it to Youtube.
They say YES, all cool. They say NO, you don't do it.
raven condor
yea, i think the correct answer without an response is dont do it.
small lintel
might as well just try to recreate the asset without copy-paste the actual asset... gives an actual learning addition
grave lodge
Sorry i was asleep and We've had this discussion already
@small lintel @raven condor @ebon hamlet @dull path @full delta
dull path
👌
ebon hamlet
(: Good
raven condor
nice, that was what i was curious about. good to see 😄
grave lodge
@small lintel also the first one was pretty copy n paste but the second I've built on quite alot which Il keep trying to do as it's a good learning experience for me, besides if people are determined to copy an paste they could just download the asset them sevlves what I'm doing is more about self learning an making some resources for the community
small belfry
Not to mention those aren't really the original assets considering he's modified them
raven condor
it would be pretty easy to argue they are derived from them though, either way though he cleared it up already
astral dust
As far as tutorial goes I'm pretty sure there is something about that specifically in the UE license
Well, used to
raven condor
the paragon assets have specialized licenses like most stuff by epic on MP
astral dust
Don't se eit
raven condor
but yea either way, he got permission
astral dust
Yeah
grave lodge
@small belfry The first one is extremely similar the second i've expanded on quite alot
Some might be very similar when I want to demonstrate how they've done something a really cool way while other might be much more expanded when I need to remake it or re purpose it to fit a more general work flow
is the idea because alot of the current state of assets is made so specifically for paragon stuff I wanna show how it can be remade or re used for a more general purpose
Either that or its a cool material function thats buried under 5 layers of materials and I wanna pull it out and show how to just make it its own material

@steady dagger you're my hero dude! They must have millions to this game! You should have sector for a new triple A game published by them!
I can't believe they just offered a internship... HAHA! what a slap on their face xDDDDD
@sick swan But he recreated a game in another engine, that's the cool stuff for me
sick swan
I still never understand why people do this
you could put that effort in creating something original, it can still be inspired by existing games (almost all games are)
just showing that you don't respect others IP isn't usually the best way in showing what you can do
dull path
Agreed! Why bother a copyright claim that ruins you financiwlly
So much wasted talent.
timber skiff
Yeah risk rewards balance is not worth it
supple pier
Well, at least we can clearly see that an independent dude can recreate a blockbuster in a free software xD

we did know that before
with better examples...
like people who indiependantly create entire successful games with only free software
supple pier
For me RodLima version of Resident Evil 2 recreated in unreal was so much fun than that new re2
but this is not any ''better'' example hahahaha
No one was speaking of Resident Evil 2, then this ''RodLima'' was treated like a god for the tr00 re2 fans (most of them teenagers and me - with nostalgia wishes)
Then, all of sudden, Konami announce re2 and didn't launched a trailer
All of the gamers (everyody) went to youtube to search for it
they'll went up to RodLimas underal remake video xD
Now he have just exploded in views you know, like millions and millions from youtube
so there's your wasted talent @dull path , millions of subscribers
😉
dull path
So you think its ok to make profit on other peoples content now xd
supple pier
If it's ethical or unethical ins't the object of study of my argument
But it's to show that ins't a waste of time and sure as hell subscribers is could be good motivational effort if 0lento was searching for one
supple pier
Well, Einstein plagiarized Hendrik on the theory of relativity you know
Maybe Einstein needed to understand how a blobckbuster game is done to make one
It could be a good motivation too, see if you can do it
And releasing it, after all, you have nothing to loose, you gained acknowledgement
It's not a waste of talent, for me, it's a compare of it

maybe working there is bad but, im sure those people make fan games because they like doing it, and to get better, not to be the next best selling game
i dont see a problem with it tbh
sure, as long they realize they can get shut down at any moment
altough i concede making a kojima fangame and getting an offer at konami is ironic
raven condor
would like to hear if konami takes any action though, maybe they've just abandoned the trademark

I agree with 0lento. The funny part is when you bring the infringement to the developers attention and they blow it off saying “it’s ok since I’m not selling it.” Lol

@tawdry sundial the former two are written by and trusted by IP lawyers, so any company that wants to interact with the project will have an easier time since they don't have to go check that [random license] is OK with legal.

@lone plaza woah you made a game for the switch?
how is the nintendo licensing or something or requirement?
lone plaza
@spice field You will need to become a licensed Nintendo developer, but the requirements are a lot less strict than they used to be. Have your publisher or you yourself contact your local Nintendo rep. Buying a devkit after that is also quite cheap and easy (compared to the 'good old days').
spice field
oh shit you got a dev kit and no im in the process of learning how to make games and etc. @lone plaza once i get the switch i'll definitely download your game
lone plaza
@spice field Oh yeah, you absolutely need special hardware. If you're learning then maybe put this out of your head for now. 🙂 Focus on making/finishing a few UE4 projects first! 😎
And thanks for your interest in my game! I hope you'll enjoy it! (out at the end of this week!!)

I would love some marketing advice please, feel free to DM me or ping me in a channel. So far below 50 sales, 7 positive reviews, 0 negative reviews.
I used Key Mailer to send keys to a lot of YouTubers/streamers but only a few small streamers have actually streamed the game.
rough tundra
@sick plover From what I've read a game trailer must show the most interesting stuff in the first seconds, going straight to the action. Your trailer shows just a character walking by 15 seconds, then some stuff, then more walking. The structures building is shown too late.
sick plover
Yea, I guess. I will redo the trailer now and upload it as a release trailer. 
But I'm not sure that's really the issue
rough tundra
nope, I guess not. That's what caught my attention and thought to share my thoughts
astral dust
@sick plover Well, first problem is that searching for your game on Google does not find it because it wants to look for "norton" instead. Once forced to look for "norpon", there isn't much more to find than your website. Your Twitter had less than 10 tweets before release, and less than 100 followers.
So obviously you need to work much more than that on PR before launching
Did you email every Youtuber that A) has between 1000 and 100k subscribers and B) covers similar games ?
You need to work on gifs too - make a dozen of them, spam them on social media, gifs are the most useful media on Twitter
Your game's unique selling point is unclear, too, which is a problem
And finally, the elephant in the room is that it's a paid MMO game with no community, so it's a non-starter for most people because "MMO with less than a million players" is widely understand as "dead"
sick plover
@astral dust
Google shows it fine?
Also, the selling point is very clear - An MMO game with a turn-based strategic battle system, tame and train Norpons, build structures, conquer challenges and discover new areas, all in a mysterious vast multiplayer open world!
astral dust
I googled for "norpon game", which amusingly doesn't find these results
And... no, it's not clear, sorry
Give me a sec
sick plover
😅 I see "norpon game" doesn't show, most people will go the shortest term anyways 
And finally, the elephant in the room is that it's a paid MMO game with no community, so it's a non-starter for most people because "MMO with less than a million players" is widely understand as "dead" Most of the content in the game isn't centered around multiplayer
I was originally thinking to make the game free to play with microtransactions but I was not sure if anyone would buy if there aren't lots of people..
astral dust
Breakdown of your selling line :
- MMO ("1 review" displayed next to that, not free, game over on the second word)
- turn-based : okay
- strategic battle system : what, is it an RTS now ? What does strategic mean for your game ? Don't you mean tactical ?
- tame and train Norpons : the fuck is a Norpon ? Okay, it's the title, but it's... not working imho
- build structures : "structure" is not clear or selling
- the rest is fine, but "multiplayer" again with 1 review, killing your game again
I mean I'm no PR expert here, but the line just doesn't work for me
sick plover
it's not one review it's 7 positive reviews 😅
not sure why Steam doesn't update that
- build structures : "structure" is not clear or selling what should I say instead of structure?
also, I mean, it's pretty obvious what the game is, a pokemon mmo open world 😂 from a consumer first look
astral dust
You actually have three reviews that Steam counts (products not bought on Steam will never be counted)
Well it's not obvious for me, at all, in any way
It's obvious for you the developer
sick plover
Correct but it's also about reaching more people and letting more people know about the game which we are having a hard time with
astral dust
Here are the points I would target first :
- drop the MMO line forever, no one buys a paid MMO that has 1, 2, or 50 reviews, game-killing material here
- make sure the fact that singleplayer works well is very clear - right now you don't even list SP support at all, game-killing too
- word your core gameplay differently, like "capture and train magical creatures"
- make sure the word you use mean what they should, like "strategic"
- use GIFs everywhere on your store page, Twitter page, etc
- make your trailer one minute long and much more action packed
I also don't know what your USD price is but over here it's like, 16.7€, which is weird, and pricing theory would suggest 14.99€
astral dust
If you've seen me on this server you know I think an MP-only indie game has 0 shot at survival
Still, if your game can be played alone with no other players, make that clear
... if you can't play that game alone, fix that now
sick plover
It's multiplayer but you don't need other players to play 😅
I'm uploading a new trailer now
astral dust
So make that clear
sick plover
Okay I added it to the Steam description
sick plover
Ty, I guess I'll do that and try to reach out some more youtubers and streamers
desert tangle
@sick plover Just a heads up, Google tailors its search results based on what it already knows about you.
desert tangle
So if you've in the past googled and clicked the link to your own website and were logged into your google account, all future google attempts for your game are going to come up with little effort
desert tangle
That said, I just tried myself and got your site and steam as the first two results
And the trailer on youtube

steady dagger
And the $20 price tag
wooden cradle
Early Access is another turn off imo, I wont touch an early access game anymore due to having a dozen or so abandoned that I've bought over the years
there are exceptions of course like if you have a following and such. but even then you can still crash and burn
astral dust
EA can work out well. Plenty of players are still fine with it.
Paid MP only with no players is a death sentence though

ebon hamlet
@tawdry sundial For BP only, these are quite good. Doubt there is much else you can do for settings.
If you, yourself, are interested in learning the C++ "proper way" (one could argue that whatever works is proper), look into the "GameUserSettings" class.
It's already exposed to BPs for Graphics Options but can be inherited from and extended with all other settings you wish for.
You might actually be able to replicate (not the network "replicate") the UserSettings via an Obect in Blueprints, marking variables in it as "Config".
Only difference to the GameUserSettings is the missing way of getting the object via a static function.
The good thing about the "config" part is, that users have the ability to adjust etc. settings via the ini config files of UI, outside of the game.
And I'm not sure how much control one has about saving the Object in BPs.
tawdry sundial
@ebon hamlet Thanks for the feedback, if I come back around to improving these menus I'll look into that. Feel free to improve these menus as well if you want, it'll help everyone.
deft quiver
@ebon hamlet It would be great to have a tutorial on how to set up end user configurable .ini's
ebon hamlet
There should be wiki entries already
And if not, I'll see what I can do
Are you referring to the GameUserSettings or Configs in general? @deft quiver
deft quiver
User settings such as graphics, audio etc
ebon hamlet
Graphics are already exposed by Epic
Sadly Audio etc., if you want to hook into the same system, requires C++ afaik.
Cause the GameUserSettings class isn't marked blueprintable
deft quiver
You're right, graphics are already exposed. What I was looking for is how to expose anything (even game specific settings) to .ini for the end user to adjust. Reason being that some settings might only apply to a small advanced portion of your user base and it might not be worth the time adding it to an in game menu, but exposing it in an .ini would allow users to change it if they want to. I'll do some digging and see what I can find, I know I've looked into it in the past.
ebon hamlet
Well the most straight forward way is using "config" specifiers
I never used them in BP, but even the variables in your BPs should have that if you check its advanced settings
In C++ it's actually quite straight forward.
UCLASS(config=game)
That will place all config marked variables into the GameIni or DefaultGameIni file.
UPROPERTY(config) will make sure it's putting the variable into the config file.
Every UObject (and children) have a function called "LoadConfig" and "SaveConfig" to have some more control over saving and loading these variables
tawdry sundial
I think I saw that checkbox in bp. Maybe that is possible
ebon hamlet
But usually if you create an instance of a class and that class has config marked variables, it loads them from the config file if they are defined in it
So most of the stuff happens automatically
deft quiver
That does seem straight forward
ebon hamlet
I would suggest you just try it with a simple C++ Class as well as a simple Blueprint.
deft quiver
Yeah, I have a little project for my weekend! Thanks
ebon hamlet
One additional cool thing is Settings that you can set and load in the "PROJECT SETTINGS"
That's something I heavily use to setup some project defaults
You can read about this here: https://wiki.unrealengine.com/CustomSettings
(Thanks to Moss/Moritz Wundke for that)
tawdry sundial
Being able to edit project settings in run time is what makes me want to learn c++
ebon hamlet
We use them to swap the build we are producing. We have a lot of offline builds for like 1UP or GDC.
As well as DEMO builds and I always hated to have a boolean in the GameInstance or so
Now it's placed in the project settings
Which then turns into this (or C++ of course)
Very useful for bigger projects
But enough of me spamming the #released channel :D sorry!
tawdry sundial
A proper loading screen is another great thing about C++, I did figure out a somewhat decent way of doing it in bp using levels
ebon hamlet
Oh one more thing, these settings are of course also in a config if marked as such.
deft quiver
@ebon hamlet Ok, sure end user settings are good but man, that would save so much time and make it easy for designers to work with it
ebon hamlet
Yeah I can easily tell my client to go to the project settings to add new Loading Screen images
As well as define keys for UI as they sadly don't use the input system like normal events
[/Script/Hoverloop.HLProjectSettings]
+ResetButtonKeys=BackSpace
+ResetButtonKeys=Gamepad_FaceButton_Top
+BackButtonKeys=Escape
+BackButtonKeys=Gamepad_FaceButton_Right
+PrevButtonKeys=Gamepad_LeftShoulder
+PrevButtonKeys=End
+NextButtonKeys=Gamepad_RightShoulder
+NextButtonKeys=Home
+OuterPrevButtonKeys=Gamepad_LeftTrigger
+OuterPrevButtonKeys=PageDown
+OuterNextButtonKeys=Gamepad_RightTrigger
+OuterNextButtonKeys=PageUp
Keys are actually settable via config file for endusers
Other stuff like offline only build of course not
