[fast vault]

Nice scene and colors! I'd suggest caution with the flickering neon lights though. Maybe have them flicker on a pattern instead of being so fast. Can cause eye strain or seizures.

[muted stirrup]

Yh I plan on tweaking em 👍

[fast vault]

An afternoon spent

[merry lotus]

oh dear

[merry lotus]

hell yeah

Procedural sprite hours

[untold niche]

procedural sperm cell

[arctic radish]

just a lil code peek at how that lil space shooter I was making is going to go projectile sprite wise

[pastel wharf]

Mmmm Godot very epico

[hazy sky]

where do you think the line needs to be drawn?

[cloud bloom]

Further

[hazy sky]

imagine a panzerfaust shotgun

what about a shotgun shooting 150 bullets per trigger pull

i love modular systems

[pure jackal]

what the fuck is this

[pure jackal]

is this emlated or a port

[hazy sky]

i'm making a "port"

[pure jackal]

damn

[hazy sky]

it's a project i'm making

[pure jackal]

looks good so far

[hazy sky]

at one point i'll replace the placeholder assets to my own

[pure jackal]

nah keep the rips

direct port lets go

[hazy sky]

but i want a game that REALLY resembles medal of honor

[hazy sky]

yea but EA

[pure jackal]

fuck em

you're not selling this

they don't give a shit about MOH

[hazy sky]

i know they don't

but they will give a shit about me releasing something like this sadly

[pure jackal]

a game they don't even sell that you can't even get on the fuckin ps5 store

[hazy sky]

i'd love a direct decompilation of this game

there's a lot of care and attention in them

i tried ripping the characters as well, but realized there's like 200 animations per each

[pure jackal]

Spielbergs foray into videogames

[hazy sky]

i'm sure i could get away with less with modern tech

[pure jackal]

200 animations or 200 frames

[hazy sky]

200 different

[pure jackal]

for each character? no way there's like 15 total maybe

[hazy sky]

like getting shot while running, laying on the ground, 10 different idle anims, getting hit in different spots, flying away from explosion in 3-5 different poses, hitting the wall, hitting the ground, walking idly, shooting with each gun type and the list goes on

like i said, can get away with less if i'm smart with blending

but means it'll be a heavy burden when making the blend tree

these enemies reacted to being shot in the helmet, the head, each limb, groin, chest anywhere

the only problem right now, i started using godot like 2 weeks ago

with no prior knowledge about scripting

i'm getting the hang of it eventually, and i know a lot of stuff already

but it's still complicated

usually i implement one thing and two other breaks

i plan to make everything modular, like scriptable objects for ease of use

every text box, every ammo crate, everything has exposed variables for everything

ammo type, amount, message

but i'm a man of comfort

when the bullet count is 300

[slender knoll]

sound still finishes playing so I guess thats something

[arctic radish]

"how do you add variety to a sprite..?" ~ me absolutely
mere moments later

[hazy sky]

more like finishes existing

[slender knoll]

haha

sounds way better lets go with that

[hazy sky]

i'm so proud of this already

[sudden walrus]

are the bullets hitscan or projectiles?

'cause from the looks of it, the tracers have like a fraction of a second delay

[hazy sky]

projectiles

they're a bit slow for demonstration

i'll buff them up appropriately when the time is nigh

[sudden walrus]

there's a bit of a delay between the shooting and the bullet exiting

[hazy sky]

yeah, the bullet exits when the muzzle flash shows up

now to think of it, that's kinda stupid

the bullet exists first

off to fix this

[hazy sky]

right now, the weapons function identically to their PS1 counter parts, minor tweaks like the shotgun having more pellets per shot and the 5-10 RPM differences between weapons

[pure jackal]

the bottle should spawn sooner

but yeah thats real good

[fast vault]

A gun so powerful, you can shoot time itself

[hazy sky]

lemme see

you're absolutely right

[pure jackal]

like I think the bottle and hand happen at the same time

its what gives it a slingy feel to it

[hazy sky]

would be a lot better if i was animating with properly rigged meshes

these are all statics

[pure jackal]

hey its good for what it is

[hazy sky]

i wanna save the proper rigging for my own stuff later

[pure jackal]

did the original also have screen shake when you threw it?

I swear I remember some sort of tilt when you chuck one

[hazy sky]

no but it had screen shake on explosions

i'll try to do that, but i'll need workarounds because the camera is already so animated

[pure jackal]

wow those particles hang for a bit before going to the target

[hazy sky]

you mean the bullets?

medal of honor didn't have the fastest bullets in the industry

a bit faster than this tho

just wish it didn't crash half the time

for some reason the hitbox of the bullets have a really hard time registering properly

often turn back null values for some reason

[pure jackal]

specifically the shotgun

[hazy sky]

too

it's not too different

either the bullet goes straight through the wall

or turns back null

like here

fuck of course it was the shotgun

[azure flume]

make the bullets longer

[hazy sky]

they're so long already

[azure flume]

when they travel too fast they'll skip through walls between physics frames

[hazy sky]

i'm afraid if i ever implement multiplayer this is gonna bite me in the ass

funnily enough, after compiling the program and testing it like that, it doesn't crash at null pointers

although it did stutter more

guessing it was loading assets

[azure flume]

more dead multiplayer games? please.

Well, you could also up the physics framerate ticks per second

probably why it slows down for you

to keep up with all the 300 bullets

[hazy sky]

where is that option?

[hazy sky]

it's an optional mode, my aim is campaign and coop, pvp multi later

the coop i want it to be like timesplitters

[slender knoll]

rewind never ever

[pure jackal]

Where's the thompson

[untold niche]

So I don't know much about this project beyond seeing videos here the last few days

Is this some kind of remake or demake?

I love everything about it btw, the hud, models, especially the texturing on the models, and I really like the WW2 setting

[hazy sky]

in MOH1

[hazy sky]

sort of a remake

trying to capture the vibe of medal of honor, so i'm using the original assets to stay as true as possible, then later change everything to my art and sound

music however, i'll be in trouble with

but i'll manage somehow

[untold niche]

Ah right medal of honor

That compass on the hud seemed familiar

[hazy sky]

almost surreal seeing it not squished

[pure jackal]

I'm pretty sure there's a mission with it in in underground

[hazy sky]

the M1 garand, M1 Bazooka and M1 thompson were all in MOH1

the bazooka and garand make a return in multiplayer tho

[pure jackal]

damn

[hazy sky]

bro trust me

i've dug through ALL of the game at this point

[humble herald]

your attention to detail will be greatly appreciated

[hazy sky]

my cousin came over, we used to play this game all the time and i've been sending him these videos, so he started playing it again in his free time, and sat him down on my pc and told him to try my demo

it was such a good sight seeing him enjoy it so much man

said it's gonna be hard to go back to the original once it's out

paper physics

spent this last day polishing up hit detection so it doesn't throw errors all the time, but i feel like godot's physics engine might be too slow to keep up with the bullets sometimes

things like these

[humble herald]

"um ackchullay the STG-44 is an assault rifle"

Killer work dude!

[hazy sky]

thanks man

[hazy sky]

"achksually kar98 cartiges don't fit pistols"

[humble herald]

lmfao

[spring nova]

Hey I've got a question regarding modding.

What softwares do you use to make mods? Like what do you use to code things, model stuff, and that type of stuff?

[pastel wharf]

For what game

I assume you mean actual modding and not game development

[muted stirrup]

https://fxtwitter.com/GameDevKS/status/1659846444432457728

[unique trellis]

“Immersive sim” game idea:

Walking down your suburb at night, with a different task each time you play, like taking out the garbage or going to the car to find something in it. You have 3 meters: temperature, time and stress. Occasional strange noises, being in the dark for too long or suspicious people will cause your stress to go up. Lowest and highest points of temperature, as well as your time running out, do too. You have to pick the clothes before starting the mission, and the more effective they are on regulating your temperature - the more time they take at the start of the mission. Alternatively you can use water or dumpster fires to regulate the temperature. The goal is to finish your task, avoid the stress bar filling up and go home.

You may also have some handy things like low-charge phone and old shoes. Being on your phone keeps your stress bar at bay, but you can’t use it for too long or it will turn off. Old shoes will make you walk much faster but also increase your stress gain because of their condition and etc.

[wraith beacon]

Okay but what's the perspective.

[hazy sky]

depends on the game, depends on the engine. unity games usually use tools built within unity, i modded 7 Days to Die and Beat Saber and Boneworks before and the communities built their modding SDK directly in unity because of the exporter and bundler, so yeah

[hazy sky]

so you go out check the car and take the trash barefoot or what?

[unique trellis]

No
The old boots are supposed to be like worn out sport sneakers and stuff

[earnest lily]

this is starting to feel on point

[hazy sky]

wish i could release a demo but i don't wanna risk a potential leaking of it

last thing i want is EA on my ass

[misty sparrow]

this something you are making?

thats some good shit

[hazy sky]

yas

thanks

taking my time today to research WW2 more thoroughly, make a narrative that is about the world war without ever mentioning hitler or swastikas, but still make the player feel the german presence in the world

i was thinking of three possible starts to the story, the polish occupation, the invasion of england or french resistance

[untold niche]

Why that restriction?

(idk if that discussion would break server rules but you can dm me, I'm curious)

[hazy sky]

well i really like the WW2 setting the game takes place in

i was thinking of having something else but having a more recent setting with these controls would be kinda uncanny i think

the game will still be shoot bad guys, plant objective, destroy this and that and walk through the level though regardless of the setting

but i'm curious, what other setting could you imagine being encapsulated with this game?

[untold niche]

I meant not mentioning funny mustache man

[hazy sky]

oh

i mean

that's not a restriction

i just feel like funny moustache man gets way too much credit during a war that involved so many parties

[meager valve]

Do you mean that it's set in real world or it's WW2 inspired setting?

[hazy sky]

i'm sure it's gonna be a mix of both

like loosely reference real events while adding my own twist

like covert missions where you infiltrate german allies and stir a fire between the alliances so the resistance has a chance to repel an invasion etc

i just feel like mr art school not being mentioned makes the whole german reich feel much more bigger, like he's not specifically interested in deterring your actions, and you're not trying to take him down, more or less try to hinder his army to make way for the big guys

plus i mean it's all so cliche if you think of it, you kill big funny man, his army falls and ww2 ends, happy end

whereas we all know just taking out their leader won't automatically mean victory

so yeah

the game won't be about directly interfering with the war itself, more like set up the events that later happened

[untold niche]

Huh, that a really interesting perspective I hadn't thought of before

[hazy sky]

i think it's much more interesting than going in guns blazing call of duty style

plus i intend to not involve an american perspective if i can

we already have so many WW2 games where we are big john's waltzing through germans

instead it would be a big resistance faction between the allies, multiple countries and such, running operations from their own HQ and provide help either as spies, carry out tasks or set up later plans

i also plan to not directly involve russia (like no set pieces taking place in russia)

not because i'm afraid, i just feel like the WW2/cold war era of russia is also oversaturated

[unique trellis]

i feel like African campaign and Italy campaign are underrated

[hazy sky]

i was planning on italy

also poland

[unique trellis]

balkans

[hazy sky]

each chapter would feature a different country

well, not always different, there will be repeats

[unique trellis]

what about the very eastern front btw (Japan)

[hazy sky]

but i plan to make a diversive selection

japan i'm not sure about

i wanna involve them just because of their weapons alone

i guess i'll have to figure it out later

gonna need 6-7 countries for sure

i'll do some research, find out some connections between events and bridge them together

[unique trellis]

I wish you very good luck because this game idea sounds really sick and interesting

[hazy sky]

i also plan a section during the invasion of britain because i wanna see england in it's low poly glory

like a covert op during the night, picking off german soldiers, return their supplies to the brits to help turn the tide

[unique trellis]

wasn’t there also time where they just got bombed by Germans until their royal Air Force was booted up again

[hazy sky]

that's exactly it

when they tried taking over england but failed

nothing really holds me back from saying "well, the air force didn't succeed, so germany takes a more hands on approach getting in and doing the rest of the job, trying to take over"

and you get in, retire some bases the germans made in england, steal their supplies and blow up tanks

and with the forces being weakened, england has greater chance of success, hence leading to the real world event of repelling germany

this has to be somewhere the middle of the game tho

[earnest lily]

I'm tackling a similar theme but more about the cult cliches

then again I see you're thinking of MOH whereas I'm wearing RTCW on my sleeve

tl;dr good taste

🫡

[merry lotus]

what do you guys think of this main menu

imo it looks kinda meh

[sudden imp]

Needs a background

[slate python]

Add some seaweed on the sides.

And you could probably add a big, faint silhouette of something behind the text.

[pastel wharf]

Feels very empty

whats the game about

[merry lotus]

swimming through underwater caves to collect batteries to power a drill and escape

[pastel wharf]

maybe add a few fish silhouettes or eyes

[sudden imp]

Yes

[pastel wharf]

the background still kinda feels empty

foreground is good tho ill give you that

[azure flume]

needs a sunken boat somewhere in the back

with a glowstick or something next to it

[hazy sky]

fucking based

[hazy sky]

it needs the turtles from san andreas

[slate python]

Rocks and dead corrals would do.

Especially those brain-like ones

But i should say that it looks real good already.

[hazy sky]

the only thing it needs is some moving particles though

like some bubbles, or something to break up the solid fog

actually i just realized there are bubbles

but yeah something for the uniform colored fog would do nicely

[merry lotus]

well the game takes place in cape cod so no corals

but yeah rocks I can do

[hazy sky]

make a transparent fog layer png that scrolls over the distance

[hazy sky]

starting to work on the facades

using normal painter to paint normals myself

like materialize is great, don't get me wrong, but albedo generated normals can look so off

i'm in love already

[arctic radish]

what Normal Painter are you using?

[merry lotus]

tour through the options menu

[pastel wharf]

Very noice

I do have some complains tho

Gray background is very off-putting

Maybe make it a bit transparent

The button sound is very loud and clacky which I find not really fitting with the underwater theme but thats a nitpick

The text sizes for the options look different (I'm not sure if they are) and it's making me angery

Hopefully I don't come off as nitpicky, I like the menu a lot

[arctic radish]

My friend gifted me the knowledge of how to hand place normal maps

2D normals on 2D pixels my beloved

[hazy sky]

it's called Normal Painter bruh

[arctic radish]

[hazy sky]

fixed normals to match the bottom levels

can't wait to see the end result in game

[fast vault]

Working on a new enemy, one of the last elite units

The deflect is a bit too OP at the moment

[azure flume]

https://green-frisbee.itch.io/normalpainter this thing?

[arctic radish]

seems to be

I don't like it

would rather use Aseprite for manual normal map making

[azure flume]

googling for it, you get flooded with adobe trash

[arctic radish]

yee

[pastel wharf]

This game looks so neat

[hazy sky]

yos

[hazy sky]

imma check that out as well

for automatized normals i usually use materialize

for complex images like this

[hazy sky]

definitely needs a retouch or two

but it's getting there

[merry lotus]

looks cool af

[hazy sky]

thanks

it'll be cooler with all the debris, destruction and rain later

[pure jackal]

holy shit

[arctic radish]

added layered lights with shadows

[pure jackal]

stop it
stop being so talented

[hazy sky]

no u

[pastel wharf]

this looks so good wtf

[wraith beacon]

Looks sick, Is a lil cursed seeing the PS1 MOH viewmodels with modern lighting though.

[pure jackal]

its more cursed seeing them not warply

[hazy sky]

both of those are correct tho

[hazy sky]

brutal

still need to tweak some values but i love the dense atmosphere

[pure jackal]

bruh

[hazy sky]

what

might fall back to a more artistic approach and use beam textures instead

wish i could make the bitrate a bit better

shitty gamebar records at a low bitrate

[wraith beacon]

Rain feels like it's glowing.

[hazy sky]

well.. it kinda is

i think it's unshaded but wanted to swap for a better emission method

otherwise it's not really visible

[pure jackal]

well like what aesthetic are you going for with the rain

more fancy like your normal maps or classic low spec?

[wraith beacon]

Yea what are you trying to achieve with the rain effect.

[hazy sky]

it's more low spec, thinking about adding height maps to certain texture like the cobblestone

[wraith beacon]

Yeah I feel like it fits more in the scene now.

[hazy sky]

could also use a puddle shader but i'm not good with shader language at all

[pure jackal]

I like it

[hazy sky]

yea, it was unshaded, so i gave it shading and put the emission at .2

[wraith beacon]

I don't really feel like you'd need the emission with how large the drops are.

[hazy sky]

i need them because i use alpha and otherwise not really visible without them

[wraith beacon]

O they actually are alpha transparent?

[hazy sky]

if i use simply add as the blending mode, the volumetric fog fucks with it and you can see the square around the raindrops

[wraith beacon]

Thought they were opaque/masked

[hazy sky]

so i had to resort to alpha

but don't know, might just make do with a fog-like beam texture that bilboards towards the camera

not that the game runs bad as is, but might fit the aesthetic better, and save frames down the line

[wraith beacon]

I went down the rain rendering rabbit hole a while ago.

[pure jackal]

are you going to have a flashlight in this

[hazy sky]

actually contemplating adding one

not exactly sure if i will

[pure jackal]

may I make a suggestion on how to handle it

[hazy sky]

shoot

[pure jackal]

oh boy

you're gonna regret that

brb

have it be a cone that renders over the fog but not the environment
slap an actual spotlight in it so that normals react to it

[hazy sky]

i actually have something like this set up

but just a spotlight

[wraith beacon]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/431185291831803904/1013994932224143420/2022-08-30_14-12-28.mp4 old footage of rain I made for something I scrapped.

[pure jackal]

porcupine

hey we got Type to Reload V2 outta this

[wraith beacon]

No idea if TTR is going to have rain because rain occlusion is kinda a problem.

[pure jackal]

just have there be a transparent sphere around each active player/enemy that renders over the rain but not everything else and have that go away when the enemy dies

[wraith beacon]

I'm already using the stencil buffer to disable decals for characters.

[pure jackal]

damn

man thought of everything

[wraith beacon]

I did tinker with using the stencil buffer for rain occlusion but this was before I changed the way decals work

[hazy sky]

that fog texture is kino

[hazy sky]

how did you achieve that?

[pure jackal]

Uhhh

I'll need to ask the programmer but iirc all of the fog affects are tied to a specific layer, and the cones material specifically acts like a mask layer in photoshop

for environments that had 0 dynamic lighting we'd just have the map be Fullbright but for areas with partial lighting like this we just put a spotlight at the base of the flashlight cone and had it point and expand as close as we could

[hazy sky]

wha

[pure jackal]

I'm over simplifying it

asking the programmer brb

what engine are you using Solace

since if you're using unreal/godot I'm not sure how useful my advice will be

[azure flume]

godot

[hazy sky]

i don't think

[hazy sky]

also yea

it's gonna be fuckin lit

[arctic radish]

godot 4 or Godot 3.5.2?

[hazy sky]

4

i heard a lot of stuff was coming to G4 so i didn't hesitate

[pastel wharf]

the video keeps crashing my discord

[hazy sky]

no way, lemme try too 💀

it doesn't for me

[pastel wharf]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1038596816188489748.webp?size=64&name=Despair&quality=lossless

[hazy sky]

but i wouldn't be surprised because microsoft game bar is shit

[pure jackal]

on the flashlight thing, programmer who made it is currently a work. I'll ask him specifically how he did it

[deft jacinth]

im trying to make games but cant find any good ideas for making levels or anything for that matter

please help

if i were to make like a 3d game id probably make first person rpgs

[azure flume]

Join or start a team

[deft jacinth]

im trying to figure out how to make levels by doom wads

[azure flume]

Do whatever you are good at and let others do the rest

[deft jacinth]

no one i know really has a pc

[deft jacinth]

math and creative solutions

[azure flume]

So find more people to know!

[deft jacinth]

k

ill try

[azure flume]

There are ton of artists or game designers who have no clue how to code, team up with them.

[deft jacinth]

wait shoot if im making a unity game how od i share the project so other people can edit it

im basically broke

[azure flume]

Come up with a creative solution 😛

[deft jacinth]

found one

[deft jacinth]

you got any ideas for making maps tho

[azure flume]

Plenty, but got my own project to worry about

[deft jacinth]

ok i was saying tops

tips

im not good with visual design

[azure flume]

Learn from existing maps, see what they do and try to replicate that

Then get inspiration from architecture blogs or whatever

[deft jacinth]

ok sweet

thanks man

[azure flume]

Take a walk around your home city/town/village and look for cool places.

[deft jacinth]

k

wait yeah

thats a good idea

i have this hospital i live really close to

[azure flume]

urbex youtubers

[hazy sky]

alternatively, use google maps like me

roam around in street view and screenshoot reference

[deft jacinth]

Ok

I was just thinking it would be a fun yet tense stealth level

They've got a shipping port in the back that would be fun

[deft jacinth]

ooooh im having some fun with doom mapping rn

making a fallout shelter

[deft jacinth]

layouts looking ok

[hazy sky]

where more progress

i was always fascinated with doom maps

[merry lotus]

fishe

[deft jacinth]

oh im making some stuff

i wanna make it like a fallout shelter escape

gonna play metro for more map design ideas

mostly gore general stuff

more

making doors and the like

those are a pain

its nice to learn how to make a decent map tho

if anyone wants to play it

ill put it in here

i like weapons with a more powerful but use them wisely feel

[deft jacinth]

i also wanna work in a medium a bit more 3 dimensional

such as making a rpg fps game

because i honstly love games that feel doom and gloom

[arctic radish]

I’ve officially landed on why I keep on stopping and starting projects and constantly put them on the shelve for another day.

Procrastination

[deft jacinth]

ive had the same problem

the thing is

I have an extreme amount of will sometimes

os i just power through stuff

or jsut see this image and create

[hazy sky]

oh shit a wild tram

[deft jacinth]

thats wayyy more polished than some of the shit i make

[hazy sky]

i mean this isn't polished yet

[pure jackal]

bullshit this isn't polished, that looks great

[hazy sky]

i'm too much of a perfectionalist to just half ass something and come back to it later

[deft jacinth]

i totally will

[hazy sky]

the tram texture's normals just have a really quick pass in materialize to give it some height, will draw through it tomorrow

[deft jacinth]

imma make an rpg with crackhead vibes rn

like fallout new vegas

[hazy sky]

i actually remember a crackhead rpg from a while ago

[deft jacinth]

yet again like this kind of thing

ive never 3d modeled before but

[hazy sky]

gopnik simulator

[deft jacinth]

this will be an enemy

[hazy sky]

listen

i could say shit like "oh not's not gonna be hard, modeling is easy" but modeling is something that gets easier the more you do it

[deft jacinth]

imma make this shit ridiculous because then i have no reason to hold back crazy idead

oh i trial and error most stuff

i had my math sol today

i do tests really fast maybe im jsut being adhd

[hazy sky]

🤝

we're in the same boat then

[deft jacinth]

im not diagnosed with adhd tho

[hazy sky]

me neither

but i feel like i have it because i show a generous amount of signs i could very well have it

[deft jacinth]

but i know a guy with adhd whos basically me but in high school

[hazy sky]

not all the time, it's like in episodes where i'm like super hyper and focused, and then the focus goes away

[deft jacinth]

keep in mind imma be listening to this shit while im making games https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=yyyDzxOM_RQ&list=RDAMVMyyyDzxOM_RQ

[hazy sky]

anyways about modeling

i can't stress enough how important knowing the keybinds are

you'll be hammering those all the time

[deft jacinth]

oh god i love hotkeys

[hazy sky]

are you planning on using blender?

[deft jacinth]

people think im a fucking wizard when i use em

ye blender

[hazy sky]

perfect

i only have around 8 years of experience with it

if you get started, ping me and i'll give a quick rundown on the more important hotkeys and functions you're gonna use

[deft jacinth]

imma make something rn

[deft jacinth]

specifically this

[hazy sky]

mosin nagant my beloved

[hazy sky]

bro stop posting this why do i laugh every single time

[pure jackal]

did you make this

[hazy sky]

yos

[deft jacinth]

ok

[hazy sky]

took me around a day to finish it up

solid 7 hours of modeling

[deft jacinth]

you told me not to post that image

[hazy sky]

crashes included

[deft jacinth]

you never said i couldnt post this

[hazy sky]

everybody gangsta until undermount AK

i really need to re-render these

such shit angles

[deft jacinth]

how do i meld models

[hazy sky]

wym meld

you mean join them into one object?

you basically tab out of edit mode, select the models you want and press ctrl + j

[deft jacinth]

oh no i was saying making stuff

like

sculpting the blocks

[hazy sky]

like actual sculpting?

because it's also a feature

but if you mean moving parts around, transforming the mesh, you press g when selecting edges, vertices or faces

you press 1 for vertice selection, 2 for edge select, 3 for face select

[deft jacinth]

im saying changing stuff so it actually makes fucking sense

please stop bombarding me

[hazy sky]

bruh

but what do you mean

send a screenshot or something

[deft jacinth]

uhh ive gotta get off my pc so my little brother can play tf2

[hazy sky]

at least he's got good taste

how can he endure the bot fest

[pure jackal]

Bruh

[deft jacinth]

It's mostly fixed now

Like tf2 as well

But I'm a man of variety

So the thing is

He only plays pyro

Won't try the other classes

But thanks

[hazy sky]

pyro based

[deft jacinth]

Yeah

Imma try to figure out how to model with what you've told me

[deft jacinth]

He's not that good

[hazy sky]

bruh he's trying his best

[deft jacinth]

But maybe I'm just really good at reacting to patterns

[deft jacinth]

Yeah ig

[hazy sky]

maybe i'm just really good at walking face first into rockets and scouts

[deft jacinth]

He's better at overwatch

Like it's scary

[hazy sky]

i'm so good i take this skill to other games as well

[deft jacinth]

How good he is at overwatch is confusing in comparison to how he is at tf2

Lime he teamwipes

Like

First time trying the game

[hazy sky]

don't take it personally but he is the target audience for overwatch

[deft jacinth]

Wdym

He's like in fifth grade

[hazy sky]

yea exactly

overwatch holds your hands all over the game

[deft jacinth]

Oh

[hazy sky]

as a matter of fact, ow is really generous

[deft jacinth]

When I played ow I was bad because I played it like tf2

[hazy sky]

tf2 less so, blizzard made overwatch to be accessible

[deft jacinth]

Like genji but I used him not to surilvice but to cause chaos

[hazy sky]

tf2 is more like an arena shooter with limited weapons tbh

[deft jacinth]

Like his ult just disrupt the entire enemy defense while my team absolutely destroys them from aheaf

[hazy sky]

i remember maining roadhog and junkrat and annihilating lobbies

[deft jacinth]

What about csgo and overwatch I'm better at csgo

Yeah

I used to main road hogg

But I don't really play overwatch

[hazy sky]

even after the nerfs it was still decent enough to catch people off guard

[deft jacinth]

I play a lot of single player rn

[hazy sky]

i was global for three whole days

then lost the rank after a tie

[deft jacinth]

Qhat is global

[hazy sky]

global elite

csgo

[deft jacinth]

Also I can't get into competitive lobbies because I started actually playing in like 2021

[hazy sky]

and i haven't touched csgo since like 2018 or 19

[deft jacinth]

Oh

[hazy sky]

apex on the other hand really hooked me up

[deft jacinth]

Oh I'm terrible at apex

Probably because titanfall nostalgia

I played those game to death

[hazy sky]

i mean now is the best time to play apex since the TDM and control modes are in rotation

[deft jacinth]

Like titanfall one I liked and thought it was really fun

[hazy sky]

TDM can feel like lowkey titanfall

without the wallrun

[deft jacinth]

The game just doesn't feel right tho

[hazy sky]

i mean you're no pilot

[deft jacinth]

Fun the run to the weapons damage and fire rate to any movement at all

I can't even do slidehopping

Don't get me started on hwo you find mods

For guns

[hazy sky]

weeell.... yeah they've been active on disrupting movement techs

tap strafing and shit still work tho

[deft jacinth]

There's one piece they can't get rid of tho

[hazy sky]

but general air control sucks

[deft jacinth]

Yeah

I also find brs boring and unengaging

[hazy sky]

same but apex is the one exception

i find the game really fluid and well made

[deft jacinth]

Apex is like the worst in my ppinion

It feels wrong to me

No gun feels fun to use

[hazy sky]

hey, each to their own

shotguns and smg's are fun to use

AR's are a chore to hold down

[deft jacinth]

Sorry to kinda rain on your parade

[hazy sky]

energy weapons fuck everything

[deft jacinth]

The only weapons I've come close to liking are the energy ones

[hazy sky]

like you pick up a devotion or havoc rifle and literally one mag an entire squad

the new burst energy rifle literally can replace all of the assault rifles right now

[deft jacinth]

I also think I don't like it because of how you're slowed down different speeds and stuff

I get that it changes skill ceiling but when implemented I either get placeboed in other games or just prefer to fist paradr

[hazy sky]

the movement speeds aren't changed across characters, i mean the max move speed, everyone runs with 320 map units of speed, the acceleration is dependent

[deft jacinth]

I almost beat the first two uncharted games only punching

[hazy sky]

could never get into uncharted

[deft jacinth]

Yeah I also don't like classes because I jave to pay for them and stuff

[hazy sky]

feels like cookie cutter playstation action game

[deft jacinth]

Ok

[hazy sky]

you don't really have to pay for anything honestly

[deft jacinth]

I played them from a kinda young age

[hazy sky]

i only paid for one battle pass and that's about it

[deft jacinth]

3 and 4 are bad remasters are bad ps3 1 and 2 are based

[hazy sky]

what i played recently is vampire the masquerade bloodlines

that shit is masterful game writing and RPG

wish it was a little longer tho

[deft jacinth]

I only have the free characters and will never have any more than that

[deft jacinth]

I'm not too into vampire games but I'll believe you

you what about brigador

[hazy sky]

the what

[deft jacinth]

Brugador

Look it uo on steam

Brigador

[hazy sky]

i'll check later

[deft jacinth]

K

Basically chaotic top down game where you gun through levels and take down an entire monarchy

Audio is a treat

[humble herald]

someone say BRIGADOR

It's a good game, but that's off topic for this channel

[olive thunder]

does anyone have any mods for faith

[hazy sky]

someone needs to make a mike tyson mod for faith

because whenever i read faith i just hear him trying to pronounce face

[deft jacinth]

Imma make the guys I sent an image of do that funny Russian dance thays crouch kicking

[deft jacinth]

help

how do i change my view in blender

how move camera

figured it out

how add photo for reference

this one

please im doing a mini game jam with my friends

[hazy sky]

camera moves by middle mouse if you mean the editor

control and shift modifies the movement

[deft jacinth]

thank god i was using keypad

[hazy sky]

you add reference to the camera or import as a plane

gimme a sec

there was an option

[deft jacinth]

how do i add something as a plane

[hazy sky]

shift + A opens the sub menu of adding meshes, lights or cameras

but if you want the easy way and i know you do

click on edit

preferences

select add-ons

and type in images as planes in the search

tick it and save the settings

after that if you press shift + a, highlight image, images as planes then you can import your image and blender adds it as is

also if you press numpad 1-3-7 and 9 you can switch to orthographic views which help line things up

[deft jacinth]

uhh dude i just get hte 3d elements i can add in

[hazy sky]

press tab and try again

you can only add special objects in object mode

[deft jacinth]

thanks i was in edit

[hazy sky]

no worries

[deft jacinth]

dude im making an rpg like fallout new vegas and this is what i see

[hazy sky]

i so fucking knew it

[deft jacinth]

what

you knew i was using that image

[hazy sky]

why does it get me every time

[deft jacinth]

dude

its gonna kazatchki kick at you

ignore my botched russian

[hazy sky]

one tip

ctrl+R can add loop cuts

helps you add more geometry

also selecting faces and pressing E extrudes the model, adding more geometry

[deft jacinth]

ok

dude im cared because i know im out of my league

[hazy sky]

don't be

[deft jacinth]

i just know itll be satisfying

[hazy sky]

no one's judging

[deft jacinth]

om addition

in

[hazy sky]

take all the time you need to learn man

[deft jacinth]

i might have to back up my files tho because im changing my hard drive soon

[hazy sky]

not a bad idea

[deft jacinth]

things have been set in motion that cannot be undone

[hazy sky]

speaking of undone

[deft jacinth]

control z

[hazy sky]

you might also wanna change the amount of undo you can do

[deft jacinth]

i know

ohw ait

wdym

[hazy sky]

i think the base amount of steps is 32

like undo 32 times

[deft jacinth]

i should heighten that

bro

this is great

imma do some crackhead modeling while half asleep

its literally 9 12 rn

how do i split veritces

[hazy sky]

edit > system > undo steps

actually i don't think you can split vertices

or at least i haven't tried to before

you can extrude vertices tho

and edges

[deft jacinth]

how do i add more vertices

[hazy sky]

i usually extrude with e or loop cut with ctrl + r

if you extrude vertices, you can select them and press f to make a face out of them

if for some reason you need to do that

[deft jacinth]

ok

[hazy sky]

dude i found my early work

[hazy sky]

also it's 3 am here

this shit right here man

[deft jacinth]

oh sorry

[hazy sky]

no worries

[deft jacinth]

i made some crunchy kneecaps

[hazy sky]

why does that remind me of mr krabs' daughter

[deft jacinth]

oh it does look like that

[hazy sky]

dUde

i found my VERY early stuff

this is so bad

[deft jacinth]

show me

[hazy sky]

back then i really loved blockland

[deft jacinth]

what it that

is

[hazy sky]

for context it's like roblox

but back then blockland was less restricted in terms of scripting

it's basically a lego game

[deft jacinth]

ok

[hazy sky]

and i made a whole Payday 2 modpack for it

and i was using a program called Milkshape 3D

and it was sooooOO bad

but i powered through it

[deft jacinth]

that looks pretty neat

[deft jacinth]

nice

im trying to make more vertices tho

i cant make it a face

[hazy sky]

show

this is so primitive but i love it

[deft jacinth]

i do too

[deft jacinth]

i listen to like electro jazz fusion when making stuff

chill music

sometimes strangely demented

[hazy sky]

oh shit

ooooooh shit

it's a bit shit but is one of my earlier works with substance

it was a boneworks mod

[pure jackal]

[deft jacinth]

im making a nagant as my first gun

[deft jacinth]

figuured out how to use the knife tool

[muted stirrup]

https://fxtwitter.com/GameDevKS/status/1661324339482877953 💥

[hazy sky]

knife tool good

later when you're good, you can click the wrench icon to add a modifier

there is a modifier called solidify

and that basically turns your plane into the needed thickness

also i usually just knife tool the picture itself

as a matter of fact, for my project i've been making extensive use of it

[hazy sky]

dude why does the HUD look like Alien: Trilogy's HUD? i love it so much

[muted stirrup]

Thanks! had a UI guy help me out with that one, old one I had was very basic 😅

[hazy sky]

you just made me want to download alien trilogy again

also the weapon in your game reminds me of metroid for some reason

[muted stirrup]

the shotgun?

[hazy sky]

the one before that

[muted stirrup]

ah the rifle

[hazy sky]

looks like the arm cannon

has to be the glowing parts

i like it

actually fuck that, it has a more ratchet and clank look

[muted stirrup]

thanks, yeah the shotgun has like 5 barrels, since even 4 barrels has been done quite a bit with retro fps lol

oh yeah, i grew up alot on the first rachet and clank

[hazy sky]

do 9 barrels like Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodhunt

[muted stirrup]

maybe as an upgrade lol

[hazy sky]

the game has a gun called 9 barrels

it's just like, a rifle with 9 barrels

you don't fire them at once tho

acts like a rifle with 9 rounds in the mag

but it's almost comical to have 9 barrels

but anyways, if i may suggest

have a twin barrel sniper rifle

[muted stirrup]

honestly if my game was more old historical based id ad this lol

[hazy sky]

the pepperbox rifle

i mean, i think this is what VtM also go for

[muted stirrup]

except iirc it fires 7 barrels per shot lmao

the recoil im sure would be fun

[hazy sky]

hol up lemme dig up my files

a sniper like this

twin barrels

sideways foregrip

and when you shoot, the two bullets spiral like in Quake 2's railgun

that'd be real epic

[muted stirrup]

i was thinking for a dual rifle more like and over under, but i might already have that planned for the rail gun

could ad a sniper like the one you posted as well as a different weapon

[hazy sky]

olympia gang

i love interesting custom designed guns man

a gun design i wanted for my sci-fi game

and a stripper clip fed SMG

[muted stirrup]

that be cool

[hazy sky]

i wanted to emphasize reload animations to be cool

like RE4 levels of sorta overexaggeration

the way Leon reloads his guns is exaggerated swagger with the Red9 and the broken butterfly

anyways i'd love to see more of your game man

do you plan on keeping your animations snappy like that?

[muted stirrup]

depends on scope and time honestly

probs will be more of a polish thing i might smooth some of the animations out and expand a few

[hazy sky]

I mean if you're using Godot, you can adjust the interpolation easing on the shotgun lever flip to start violent and return to the idle pose slower

[arctic radish]

Today on "Cassy... Why Are you using C++?":

it's a start

[pure jackal]

Up

[muted stirrup]

Im using unreal 😄

[deft jacinth]

I'm using unity for my gamr

It's close to python and java

[hazy sky]

take this, wet piece of cobblestone with normal maps and paralaxed height maps

[pure jackal]

Wow its really weird to see and hear psx panzerfaust on top of normal mapped stuff

[hazy sky]

to be honest, i upped the polycount on the panzerfaust for like twice the original size

that and the shotgun and the sten are the only ones which i really touched

and the silencer of the PPK

and the entirety of the MP40

man

i really couldn't stop myself from polishing up these models

[pure jackal]

How much more editing until its technically your model

[wraith beacon]

Probably best to get the temp art out sooner rather than later.

[deft jacinth]

Imma make a game like stalker I got in a contest with one of my friends on making an rpg fos game sorta like fallout

[hazy sky]

yeah... i know

that's why i'm trying to make the new maps

the weapons and sounds are gonna be my worst nightmare

[hazy sky]

the mp40 is technically a new model at this point

the panzerfaust too

the sten is half stuck between og and my version

[pure jackal]

Just slap a new texture and new arms

[hazy sky]

the hand models however

those i didn't touch

[pure jackal]

Yeah the hands will need to be replaced

Triangle finger on the molotov especially

Hoo boy

[hazy sky]

i'll just probably tamper with the topology and add some extra details, retexture and call it my own

[pure jackal]

Woo yeah the plagiarism middle ground

Woo yeah woo yeah

[hazy sky]

the silenced pistol is 100% gonna get replaced for a Welrod MK1

[wraith beacon]

I personally wouldn't try ship of Theseusing art assets myself but also based.

[hazy sky]

when i say tamper with the topology i essentially mean redo it while referencing it

just like the other models

[pure jackal]

I mean if you've built off of what was literally an L shape is it still ship of theseus

[hazy sky]

they resemble the originals, but are not one and the same

[wraith beacon]

Legally probably yes maybe,

[hazy sky]

it's not like these guns are visually complex in the first place

there is only so many ways you can model XY before hitting roadblocks

it's the same with animations

you can only animate a sword swing until someone calls you out on resembling XY game's animation

like the recent fromsoftware fiasco with an indie soulslike game

[wraith beacon]

(Not judging you I'm just saying I'd personally not risk it)

[hazy sky]

i know

but honestly Medal of Honor is at this point 24 years old

i doubt anyone at EA would go like, hmmm.... this really reminds me of Medal of Honor 1999, get the papers johnny

especially with all the animations and models being made by me

[pure jackal]

Ship of Thesesus assets
Fuck thats a funny way to describe it

[hazy sky]

they literally cannot claim anything as their own

thesesus

[pure jackal]

Sus

[hazy sky]

it's like the doom clone craze back then

or the wolfenstein clones

they literally tried ripping off these games, but i'm sure JC couldn't take legal action since, well, the code was probably built from the ground up

and so do the assets

they cannot exactly run an MD5 check either

and be honest, how much time do you think it's gonna take me to make models with this simple topology?

hell, i spent more time fixing up the UV maps than re-modelling everything

[pure jackal]

Just don't fuckin tell anyone when its all said and done

no snitchin

[azure flume]

Well if you say it's easy, then why not just do it?

Eliminate 100% of the possibility of being legally in the wrong.

[pure jackal]

To be fair
Thats still not gonna stop people from still thinking its stolen
See also the "Compound Fracture Spas-12 ripped from Half Life Non-Controversy Controversy"

[azure flume]

You aren't going to convince 'people', but you need to convince lawyers 😛

'Everything made from scratch by us' is all you ever need to say to the players and then proceed to ignore them.

[pure jackal]

Then he'll re-do it

[muted stirrup]

any hope for humanity i had somehow gets lower each day lol

[deft jacinth]

Any weapons or enemies I should put in my game

Imagine like crackhead meme chernobyl and ww12

2

And russia

Lots of russia

[pure jackal]

Put an owen gun but the one made out of car parts with a button to shoot instead of trigger

[deft jacinth]

Ok

How about enemies

I'm basically pulling from war memes

[deft jacinth]

Ok

[hazy sky]

whoa mama who's that handsome fella

[hazy sky]

also the design is very rust

[pure jackal]

The owens automatic baybee

Made out of car parts
Theoretically can fire

[deft jacinth]

It's gonna be fun

It's gonna be an rpg game

[pure jackal]

The man went onto make an actual gun that was just the Automatico 1918 but with a foregrip

[wraith beacon]

Pretty sure Owen didn't actually have that much to do with the final design.

[pure jackal]

Damb

Why did they name it after him then

[deft jacinth]

How crackhead do you think the game could be tho

[wraith beacon]

Marketing.

[deft jacinth]

Imma make the beat of one of the tracks be more for cocaine

[pure jackal]

Mans making "yous all cowards don't even smoke crack" but as a game

[deft jacinth]

Morse code

It's gonna be hilarious

Imma make some of the enemies jave soundtracks they play when attacking

Have

[deft jacinth]

What is thay

That

[pure jackal]

Its a guy who actually makes drugs who made a rap album about how all the other rappers are frauds and he actually makes drugs

[slender knoll]

wild viper convo appears

[deft jacinth]

Cloamkaine

[deft jacinth]

That's hilarious

IS he in prison

Is

[pure jackal]

No

[deft jacinth]

How

Or is he dead

[pure jackal]

Never got in trouble even tho I'm pretty sure half of his videos show him making the drugs

[pure jackal]

YEAH VIPER

[deft jacinth]

Who's viper

[deft jacinth]

Damn he's a smooth criminal

[hazy sky]

such a wonderful time, where 60% of the gun was just WOOD

[deft jacinth]

Ye

[hazy sky]

also of course an australian would be named owen

wow

[deft jacinth]

No 0lastic involved

[pure jackal]

We can return to that time if we so chose

[deft jacinth]

He was australian

[hazy sky]

just the press of a button

[deft jacinth]

YEAH

[hazy sky]

man it's so bad

i need specific reference

but can't find any

like light poles in WW2 specifically in england

i mean it was only 80 years ago

cannot be that different

[pure jackal]

Just look up ww2 england street and zoom in

[hazy sky]

not half bad i'd say

it's really interesting how a single prop that's being repeated can change the mood

[deft jacinth]

I've gotta model arms for my character got any ideas for how they should look

[pure jackal]

Beefy

[cloud bloom]

Anyone got tips on how to properly uv unwrap a conical roof for use with tiles?

[deft jacinth]

or should i make it so you dont have arms

[deft jacinth]

this looks liek youre making a modern golden eye 007

the model is gaining substance

[hazy sky]

i wish

[deft jacinth]

Wdym

[meager valve]

Been modding rome total war

Did a bunch of stuff
My main concern now is proper models and animations + unit cards

And I am too dumb to understand guides online on how to do it

[deft jacinth]

hammer has been made

[hazy sky]

looking cool so far

[deft jacinth]

Uhh I kinda screwed up some stuff with the grip and thw lever so I had to delete it

But barrel looks good

[wanton oyster]

do you guys have any idea how to make a translation for the game? I tried editing the files in the localization folder but when I open the game any change I made gets reverted to english

[azure flume]

'the game'

[wanton oyster]

sorry I meant for Gloomwood

[azure flume]

have you tried putting the file to 'read only' after editing?

Might work

[wanton oyster]

yep, when I do that weird stuff happens in game like overlapping text

[humble herald]

I'm not sure how gloomwood loads its text so you might just want to ask dillon sometime

[wanton oyster]

I see, anyway I'm just a translator, I dont think I would be able to do anything more than just editing some text lines

[hazy sky]

new gun incoming

well new old gun

[pure jackal]
