[kindred notch]

strechy duskdude

terrible isn't it

but also

wonderful

yes?

[merry lotus]

agre

[merry lotus]

before NB kart was a thing i tried to make my own Amid Evil style FPS

i might pick it up again after nb kart

and i probably will

because unity's high definition render pipeline makes it look just gorgeous

[neon geode]

thats a great idea thinking it over, as certain weapon swaps can create energy and others can create reactions that require that energy

[indigo shard]

if i was theoretically going to learn how to make a game

whats a beginner level software to use

im assuming gamemaker studio is generally simpler

[neon geode]

just go with the hard stuff off the bat

unity

[merry lotus]

unity is friendly tutorial wise but they change so much stuff every year

it's best to stick with an LTS version

[rotund garden]

I can confirm this, we recently moved our game project from normal unity to that one

and it looks next gen now lmao

[unique trellis]

In my experience, familiarize yourself with c# with visual studio code or go straight to unity and use it, or go with unreal and do blueprints to get a more visual understanding of the code

[leaden granite]

to be fair you can make anything look amazing with a space skybox

[indigo shard]

lmao good to know

[fast vault]

I've yet to try HDRP for actual gameplay, but I remember seeing how good the lighting looked right off the bat.

[static viper]

0-o

That works

[indigo shard]

Looking nice

[unique trellis]

https://gyazo.com/2704677f8452fefa845a54f82ff9eaa3

weapon isnt finished

[indigo shard]

Ooooh interesting

So there’s a sort of time-slow mode?

Unless that’s just for testing lmao

[cunning wing]

i feel like the slowmo filter could be a bit less jarring

[unique trellis]

also smooth it in if possible

[static viper]

Added Realtime reflections to Drift86 🤷‍♂️ "1st: On 2nd: off"

[neon geode]

anyone have a damn clue on how a consistent shotgun spread works in unity? my spread keeps changing depending on the angle i am looking, any pointers?

sorry old code while experimenting

[fast vault]

I think I had a similar problem before. Had to add the offset to the Z value in that Vector3 as well

[fast vault]

That looks really smooth! Is this UE4?

[unique trellis]

yuh

[merry lotus]

I was kinda bored in class today so I made this Pseudo 3D game engine just for fun

crap the video is laggy
it was recorded on a chromebook after all

this is not a new project this is just something I made for fun

[merry lotus]

here's the source code for anyone who wants to play it in their browser

there's currently nothing to shoot

and there probably will never be anything to shoot

[pure jackal]

Add shooting to nbkart

[merry lotus]

powerup

[leaden granite]

Power Up?? Like the seventh chapter of 1998 First Person Shooter Half-Life made by Valve currently available on Steam for $4.92??????

[fast vault]

So rusty with drawing, but I updated an old character design I had

[meager valve]

Is that amogus on her back?

[junior smelt]

hey can anyone help me with an ultrakill mod not work? I think it`s because I'm putting the files in the wrong locations.

[merry lotus]

#ultrakill-modding

[junior smelt]

nobody is there

[pure jackal]

And nobody here mods ultrakill

[junior smelt]

then I have no clue who to ask or where

also thank you both

[neon geode]

in which way?

[fast vault]

In my case, I just had the random spread be set by Random.Range(-spreadAmount, spreadAmount)
And then I added that float to all three values of my Vector3 raycast (I think in your case, you would put it in "toffset")

[neon geode]

i did it, and its more consitent, yet still pulls together at certain angles

[merry lotus]

working on duskdude 2.0

i have a visual representation of what duskdude looks like in my head and hatsu's art is closest to my interpretation

[indigo shard]

he is being formed

[neon geode]

*forged

[indigo shard]

now im just imagining plazmin hitting the 3d model on an anvil

[pure jackal]

Dusk 2

It brings me great joy that you're using hatsu's art of all things to base it off

[unique trellis]

Holy shit it's him

[fast vault]

Testing out some manual humanoid rigging. This model definitely needs an overhaul when the time comes, but it's a neat proof of concept

[pure jackal]

That sword is hilarious

[merry lotus]

I love the dash trails

[indigo shard]

Yep

[merry lotus]

new duskdude model's pretty much done

just gotta rig it

old dusk dude

we hardly knew ye

rest ye well

[sudden imp]

literally pulled hatsu's drawing into 3d

[pure jackal]

I mean nbkart was hatsus first

[merry lotus]

it doesn't look that good from the back

[pure jackal]

What was wrong with the old model if I may ask

[merry lotus]

it just didn't look that good imo

I liked hatsu's duskdude design better

[fast vault]

Looks cool! He's like a Pixar old man

[merry lotus]

the idea i've had in my head since new blood kart started development was that dusk dude would be so big that he'd have to scrunch up just to sit in the kart

[merry lotus]

Thanks man :)

[sudden imp]

Maybe try making him look like bowser in Mario kart

Like he’s barely fitting in the kart

[merry lotus]

yeah that's the idea

[cobalt hemlock]

Beeg duskdude

[pure jackal]

nbkart has 180'd itself into being a hatsu game 😄

[merry lotus]

look at he

[pure jackal]

bigboi

[cobalt hemlock]

Chillin'

Where's his cigar doe

[merry lotus]

oh right

adding that rn

[cobalt hemlock]

[merry lotus]

there we go

[cobalt hemlock]

Very nice

[indigo shard]

lmao
he having a good time

[cobalt hemlock]

Funee sword

Is this unity or ue4?

[neon geode]

is that all made with unity particles or?

[fast vault]

Unity

[fast vault]

Yup, just the regular Particle System

[neon geode]

thoughts on concept?

[still pasture]

how to make mod ultrakill?

tutorial plz

https://tenor.com/view/purple-pikmin-pikmin2-pikmin-bloom-purple-pikmin-gif-24936736

[merry lotus]

#ultrakill-modding

[merry lotus]

love it

[fast vault]

Saw this model and couldn't resist

[indigo shard]

That’s a good idea

[pure jackal]

Hell yeah oddworld

[radiant garden]

i would pay for this

[merry lotus]

working on the final dusk level

[radiant garden]

Dont mean to be rude or anyhting but what are your plans for this game

[indigo shard]

what do you mean

[merry lotus]

i'm gonna release the first 2 or 3 cups as a demo

and then i'm gonna work on the rest of the cups

all of the characters are new blood protaginists
every cup is based around a game released by new blood

[indigo shard]

still waiting for a nb kart beta test smh

lmao

[radiant garden]

Sounds great do you have any kind of idea of the pricing

[merry lotus]

[merry lotus]

free

i make games for fun not for profit

[radiant garden]

[radiant garden]

Based

It'll be on steam right?

[merry lotus]

idk

[rotund garden]

also the game is not officially been developed by NB, so he can't sell it sadly

[fallen mortar]

i need a new script blood dont work

[wraith beacon]

@brazen copper

[cunning wing]

unless new blood publishes it i doubt it

[fallen mortar]

bloods broken right?

[merry lotus]

god unity looks so cool with baked lighting

I just wanna put that out there

[tranquil oracle]

I don't want to think about baked lighting

[topaz breach]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/366498246949863434/953105128095883274/ezgif-3-862ad02a08.gif

baked dynamic

[tranquil oracle]

gonna do a talk about it and collapse after having an aneurysm reliving the memories

[wraith beacon]

I am making modular trim decals.

This will probably turn out poorly.

[humble herald]

What do those do again?

[wraith beacon]

I'm mostly using them to better blend vertex colour transitions by having a model ontop of another model.

Nintendo games do this a lot.

[humble herald]

Oh I see, it's for color blends

[wraith beacon]

The trim material uses dithered transparency because I imagine that I'll be using these a lot and proper transparency will probably get too expensive and fucky with them.

[pure jackal]

You've done nothing but think about it for almost two years man

[tranquil oracle]

Exactly

Baked lighting is the worst part of working on both Gloomwood and the SDK, no contest

[fast vault]

When you can't afford Elden Ring

[cobalt hemlock]

Elder ring

This will be dark souls in 1998

[radiant garden]

@merry lotus sorry if i come off as annoying but can we have someone from the server in the game?( @solid furnace )sorry for the ping

[tranquil oracle]

but why

[radiant garden]

i thought it would be funny at the time but now i realise it would take too much time and reaction

sorry

[merry lotus]

no

[radiant garden]

ok

[paper vigil]

This idea fuckin sucks you should add me instead

No cap!

[radiant garden]

mega mind

tbh a mod would make more sense

[granite kite]

@merry lotus secret unlockable track, where all the textures are Screencaps of this server. Race through the NB server in an Elimination race; whoever is in last on each lap gets banned by Spec.

[radiant garden]

it could be all the devs?

[granite kite]

No.

[radiant garden]

ok

[solid furnace]

Oh hey, there is Uncle Malice

[indigo shard]

I was going to say that

[merry lotus]

insert horror breathing noises

[indigo shard]

Oh boy

[radiant garden]

do you have any ideas for items?

[merry lotus]

propane tank from fallen aces that acts like the bomb from crash team racing

cross from faith that acts like the noise box from mk8

and that's all the ideas I currently have

[radiant garden]

i have some ideas is it ok if i share them?

[merry lotus]

sure

[radiant garden]

maybe a coin that could act like a red shell

[pure jackal]

Every time ultrakill is mentioned he delays working on the ultrakill stuff by 2 weeks

[merry lotus]

yeah lol

[radiant garden]

damn sorry

im trying to think of what soap could be used but i first thought of a blue shell but it would be unimaginative maybe like the star or masks form mario kart and ctr

[merry lotus]

I'm already using soul mode from amid evil as the star

[pure jackal]

Soap is banana peel

[radiant garden]

that is geinus

[merry lotus]

yeah I'll do that

anyway gtg

see you all in like... almost exactly one hour

[radiant garden]

have fun

[merry lotus]

And yes, to the 1 person who asked, the flesh does move

Simple vertex displacement shader

[pure jackal]

Jabu jabu levels need to stop

[radiant garden]

will jakob be the announcer?

[pure jackal]

No Gianni will

[radiant garden]

great

[pure jackal]

He will not reprise a single one of his characters

He will just be himself and plainly say New Blood Kart

[radiant garden]

cool

[sudden imp]

He will reprise his role as the Kyle narrator

[pure jackal]

That's probably out of budget range

[merry lotus]

if I were to hire gianni I'd probably get him to voice kyle

[pure jackal]

Thought it would be funny for "kyle" to just be a textbox that plays an audio clip whenever something noteworthy happens

"Kyle took second place"

[cunning wing]

"Kyle screams as he falls off the map like a moron"

[pure jackal]

"Kyle took the wrong turn and ended up falling out of the map"

[indigo shard]

Yes

[radiant garden]

what would the level be?

[pure jackal]

"Kyle, in a moment of sheer brilliance, drove directly into the soap, jeopardizing his win like a moron

[indigo shard]

Kyle city™️

[merry lotus]

one part of the Kyle level is where you drive across a bunch of cards with random quotes from Kyle's adventures

[pure jackal]

Iirc plaz didn't you have the idea of it just being made of cards from the game

Yeah

[indigo shard]

Yooo

[merry lotus]

the Kyle track is gonna be like mount wario

[radiant garden]

that sounds really good

i hope this game gets picked up by new blood it would be amazing

[pure jackal]

Pretty sure hatsu pitched his original idea?

[cunning wing]

speaking of mount wario, do you have any idea what you're going to do for music?

[merry lotus]

it's probably not gonna be picked up

but if Dave asked then I would be more than happy

[merry lotus]

rn I'm using placeholder tracks from all of the games

but I want to get a music artist who can do all of the music genres

that I can get for free

[pure jackal]

I know a guy I'll ask him

[merry lotus]

also the music for one of the fallen aces tracks is gonna be a remix of sing sing sing by Benny Goodman

[merry lotus]

epic

[pure jackal]

thats good

[radiant garden]

so dusk will have a so above and so below type aesthetic for the stage

[pure jackal]

Pretty sure thats the one he showed above?

[merry lotus]

the third dusk level is just gonna me a mesh of a bunch of the third episode's levels

[radiant garden]

ok

[merry lotus]

rn I've got brimstone ghetto, crypt of the flesh, and ratacombs

also at the end I wanna do a mk8 bowser's castle style thing with nyarlathotep

[pure jackal]

I still think a Dweller in Darkness aesthetic could fit a rainbow road like track but so could a track made of nothing but kyle cards

[merry lotus]

sgs is gonna be rainbow road

[pure jackal]

rip sgs chat

[wraith beacon]

More trimsheets.

[frigid ember]

fuck yeah that looks sick

[leaden granite]

with all the dusk stuff, if this is really going to be new blood kart you're gonna have to put in an equal amount for all the other nb stuff

[merry lotus]

this is the dusk cup

[leaden granite]

what

[merry lotus]

there's one cup for every game

[leaden granite]

i don't see any cups

[merry lotus]

you know like in mario kart

[leaden granite]

no

[merry lotus]

mushroom cup, leaf cup, shell cup

[leaden granite]

i've only played mario kart wii and i don't really pay attention to the menus

[merry lotus]

i don't know how to explain cups

look it up i guess

[leaden granite]

will there be a gloomwood cup

[merry lotus]

of course

[leaden granite]

epic,,,,,,,....

[fast vault]

No hit detection yet

[merry lotus]

Gotta love that retro shader

[granite kite]

Each Cup is like an individual tournament that has multiple races inside it. The more difficult races are in the higher tier Cups.
In this case, the DUSK Cup is a collection of tracks that do not necessarily have to be related to DUSK; but are instead together because Plazmin decided they are all of roughly equal difficulty.

And since DUSK Cup is the first(?) one that Plaz is working on; I am logically assuming these will be the easiest of tracks to race on.

[pure jackal]

or the hardest

[rustic holly]

CSGO stuff I’ve been working on :)

Also why did I get muted for that, it was all a single message :|

[indigo shard]

yooo that looks great

[rustic holly]

Nearly all the assets are custom made by me btw :)

Also thanks

[merry lotus]

making a couple of changes to the first dusk level

for one: i removed the pond and made the track go around where it used to be

2: there is no longer a huge steep hole in the first part of the track

it was hard to accelerate out of it

so I just flattened it

and 3: you've probably also noticed the level looks more desaturated

mainly because it is

and next i'm gonna replace these textured planes with actual 3d models that are rooting for you

[fast vault]

Sweet!

[frigid ember]

Looks awesome, Plazmin

[indigo shard]

Nice

[unique trellis]

bro why is general modding so fucking good

golden age

[indigo shard]

yes

[merry lotus]

I replaced the cheering enemies on the side with actual 3d models

The mages don't look that good since they're all jumping at the same time

[frigid ember]

I love it

[indigo shard]

YOOOO

[indigo shard]

Makes it look just like Mario kart

[granite kite]

See people, this is how you get shit done... don't wait... just do.

[wraith beacon]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh

[fast vault]

@merry lotus Will you be able to bounce coins on your car as a projectile if you play as V1?

[merry lotus]

No

But there will be a coin powerup that targets the nearest player in a certain radius

Speaking of powerups, I finally added the item roulette

also the soul mode powerup is still not finished

[pure jackal]

lol you cut off the footage as soon as the second guy slipped

[indigo shard]

classic

[jade helm]

[fast vault]

You can now taunt, but her attack boxes are still inconsistent. I think it has something to do with the Character Controller component

[cunning wing]

is the soap going to the blue shell replacement?

[merry lotus]

The soap is just a banana peel replacement, idk what I'm gonna do for the blue shell

[leaden granite]

how are the car controls so far

[indigo shard]

this will be elden ring in 1998

[radiant garden]

yoooooo

[sonic patrol]

thank you for your priceless yet unrewarded job

[radiant garden]

could be the holy light airstrikes by the angel fuckers from ultrakill but it would look really boring + ultra kill related so that's a downside

[merry lotus]

I actually like that idea

[pure jackal]

could be a good meta to nitro boost out of it at the last moment and have the beam remain so it fucks up whoever behind drives into it

[merry lotus]

yes

[tranquil oracle]

discord nitro boost

[indigo shard]

Oh no

[pure jackal]

yeah the discord nitro is whats used

if there's a better NB game related item that can be used then do tell

but I like the funny lil purpble orbthingy

[radiant garden]

based

is there a power up that blocks the screen like the blooper planned

[merry lotus]

the blooper doesn't really do anything so probably not

[radiant garden]

damn because i had an idea for a screening blocking powerup either a bunch of sgs ship cover your screen or Kyle text boxes

[sage thistle]

what game is that and how do I play it

[granite kite]

I owe you an apology Plaz. For the random ping.
The Ultrakill people were talking about a kart minigame and I told them it wouldn't happen cause you are making a whole karting game; so they started asking me a bunch of shit about your game. Left you a ping so you could go back and read it all.

[merry lotus]

oh ok

it's fine malice

:)

[earnest lily]

is this psx Malenia ?!

[fast vault]

Yup!

what are the mushroms gonna be?

[merry lotus]

dusk cigar

[frigid ember]

[indigo shard]

Nice

[sonic patrol]

smart and based

[merry lotus]

Thanks to @radiant garden for reccomending this

It's not finished yet, but this is what it basically does.

[radiant garden]

your welcome and you just gave me a confidence boost because im trying to no nit minos

[pure jackal]

HOLY SHIT BRO HOW FAST ARE YOU

THIS IS RAAAAAAAD

[sudden imp]

Top quality stuff

[radiant garden]

actually based

[indigo shard]

damn that was fast

[pure jackal]

3 hours

Was all it took

[indigo shard]

How fucking fast is this man

this is dead ass the coolest project ive seen

I just want to play it I don’t care if it’s finished I need my hands on it

[radiant garden]

especially since its free

[indigo shard]

Yes

[jade helm]

Anyway, when is the ultrakill cup coming out?

[sudden imp]

Before the actual game

[radiant garden]

we need newblood to publish this

i don't care if i need to send a dove with a letter i will try to get dave to publish this

[pure jackal]

Please do not pester the staff

that is my job

[radiant garden]

sorry

[wraith beacon]

Yeah don't pester anyone about this pls thanks.

[jade helm]

Okay crackhead question.

Can you snake in New Blood Kart?

[merry lotus]

you can't mini turbo so that's a no

I'll add it if it's in high enough demand

[jade helm]

Oh, fair enough.

Mini turbo abuse on a straight track section.

Look up "Mario Kart DS Snaking" on YouTube or something.

[pure jackal]

I imagine an addition like that would probably change how the karting feels

[fast vault]

Hitboxes are still inconsistent

[rotund garden]

very cool

been following this tutorial step by step
https://youtu.be/gsWHj8GbsfM

and instead of running forward, it pushes me outside of the wall

sad

[wraith beacon]

Seems like you might've made a negative number positive or a positive number negative in the stick to wall function.

[grim flax]

oh no, roblox physics

I'll check that out right now

this shit wasn't connected

How big is your screen?!

[pure jackal]

activate windows

[radiant garden]

the sgs ship should be the bullet bill

[pure jackal]

No the bullet bill would be cerberus winding up and pitching you 5,000 meters per second in a fiery ball

[radiant garden]

so it will have a small wind up?

[pure jackal]

Idk its just an idea

I took a little break from New Blood Kart and decided to take the "Make a game in one week" challenge.

This is sort of an amalgamation of iron lung and subnautica, where you explore underground caves searching for the remains of a crew that sank here.
So you know, normal horror game stuff :)

[pure jackal]

HOW DO YOU DO THIS SOOOO FASST

HOW

[cobalt hemlock]

This game looks like that horror game narcosis

[indigo shard]

how do you keep pumping out quality things this looks great

[granite kite]

I knew I made the right decision to hire Plaz.

[indigo shard]

yes

[pure jackal]

You WHAT

[granite kite]

You read it right.

FOR WHAT

[pure jackal]

DUDES WORKING ON SPACEMAN?

damn

[granite kite]

Why make someone else's game when I can make my own?

[granite kite]

No. But I did do some stuff for their next game.

[pure jackal]

Zamn

[merry lotus]

Photos of the submarine

This game is gonna have all the deep ocean phobias, thalassophobia, submechanophobia, the works

[strong prairie]

oh this is awesome i am hype

[pure jackal]

Why are you so talented

Stop being so talented

[meager valve]

Iron Lung 2?

[rotund garden]

I know what game I won't be able to play now

[indigo shard]

People keep stealing my jokes before I say them

[indigo shard]

All the spookies

[granite kite]

Thalassophobia: fear of being in deep bodies of water, fear of the vast emptiness of the sea, of sea waves, aquatic creatures, and fear of distance from land.

[merry lotus]

Submechanophobia: Fear of submerged manmade objects

[granite kite]

"Save me! IT'S TRYING TO EAT ME!"
points to water where a rubber duck bobs

[merry lotus]

[strong prairie]

those rubber ducks are menaces

[granite kite]

quack

[sudden imp]

demonic creature

[strong prairie]

there is actually a phobia where somewhere there is a goose or duck watching you

[strong prairie]

always watching 🦆

[granite kite]

Imagine a game that is just hundreds of minigames where the player has to tackle a various phobia.

[sudden imp]

[granite kite]

Name it "The Most Controversial Game Ever"

[merry lotus]

i'm pretty sure there's a vr game

i think it's called "Face your fears" or something

[granite kite]

Phobophobia: The fear of phobias.

[merry lotus]

now this is just too hilarious

[granite kite]

One minigame is spelling out a palindrome.
Another is swimming across a pool.

Just hundreds of minigames with each tackling a phobia.

[pure jackal]

the fear of long words is a very long word -phobia

[strong prairie]

anatidaephobia would just be like fnaf where you have to do a task for something and always watch out for the duck that is watching you

[granite kite]

Another minigame is looking at an animated gif of a pond and trying to find the duck.

[sudden imp]

a normal life sim but everyones a duck

[strong prairie]

then you look up from the gif and theres just a png of a duck staring at you

[granite kite]

It's WarioWare, but evil.

[strong prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/lils-silly-duck-lilsduck-ducky-duck-duck-riri-the-duck-gif-19719423

[pure jackal]

didn't dreadx already publish that

[granite kite]

That's more like a collection of small stories.

I'm talking HUNDREDS of minigames; all like 30 - 60 seconds long.

[pure jackal]

that sounds easy until you actually have to think up of hundreds of minigame

there's a reason why warioware only really has like

60 max

[granite kite]

If each minigame is based on a different phobia, it shouldn't be terribly hard. Got a whole slew of material to work with.... just limited on how many can be made.

Can only torment people with a hungry hippo so many times.

[sudden imp]

now you gotta think about how the games will play and make them fun

[pure jackal]

I mean it's still gonna be very limited in terms of how the actual gameplay of said minigame is

there's thousands of phobias but in terms of "gameplay" 100's of them would be handled identically.

the way to get over a fear of ducks is to be near and touch a friendly duck

same with fear of literally any animal or thing

to just face it

[granite kite]

That is true; never said each would be unique... just that they could be made.

[pure jackal]

the best shovelware

it'll make hundreds on steam

[strong prairie]

what if the duck isnt friendly

[pure jackal]

then you shoot whoever set up that ERP therapy since they suck at their job

and you try again with a friendly duck

I'm not saying to not make the game

but that it's not gonna be as easy as it seems

[granite kite]

A few examples:

Amaxophobia: Fear of riding in a car
Arithmophobia: Fear of numbers
Barophobia: Fear of gravity
Cacophobia: Fear of ugliness
Chronomentrophobia: Fear of clocks
Cyberphobia: Fear of computers
Dentophobia: Fear of dentists
Ephebiphobia: Fear of teenagers
Genuphobia: Fear of knees
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia: Fear of long words
Koumpounophobia: Fear of buttons
Mageirocophobia: Fear of cooking
Octophobia: Fear of the figure 8
Porphyrophobia: Fear of the color purple
Trypophobia: Fear of holes
Venustraphobia: Fear of beautiful women

And these are just common phobias.

[strong prairie]

why is the fear of long words phobia so long

thats just like an endless circle

[granite kite]

Because someone decided to be an asshole on that day.

[pure jackal]

Same reason why aibohphobia is named the way it is

Whoever named it decided that people with phobias are little bitches ig

ya know

like an asshole

[granite kite]

I can't look at Octophobia without giggling.

Fear of the number 8.

[pure jackal]

you can probably make a saw game out of this if you stretch it

[strong prairie]

8 ooooooh scary number five nights at 8

[granite kite]

And that's just a few examples. There is SOOO much more out there that can be used.

The material is there... just a matter of creatively using it.

[pure jackal]

Alright Old Man

lets fuckin do it

[granite kite]

I can't code for shit, lol.

[pure jackal]

same

who here can code for shit?

[granite kite]

Plaz.

[pure jackal]

damn and he's already busy

[granite kite]

Plaz codes the best spaghetti.

[sudden imp]

poor plaz

[merry lotus]

[unique trellis]

Re.

[granite kite]

I know a few coders, but most are already busy with multiple projects.

[granite kite]

H

[slim lance]

H

[strong prairie]

h

[pure jackal]

The only other coder I know is busy with the project me and him are already doing

[granite kite]

Well, how about this.....

If anyone steals this idea and builds it, Meatbox and I each get 25% from each sale.

[pure jackal]

fuck no

10%

development is hard

brainstorming is easy

[granite kite]

True.

K.

10% is good then, sure.

[merry lotus]

for me that's the other way around

[pure jackal]

you scary

in a good way

[granite kite]

Plaz is like Pitr but without the fame and recognition on talents.

[pure jackal]

Malice don't you dare fuckin crunch plaz or I will kick you myself

[granite kite]

Never.

[pure jackal]

and don't let him crunch him self either

[granite kite]

When I presented MY idea to Plaz, I straight up told him; ignore me for a long while. Focus on your shit first.

[pure jackal]

isn't it funny how you call your shit your stuff and you call everyone elses stuff their shit

and by you I mean everyone

[granite kite]

That IS ironic.
Like driving on a parkway and parking on a driveway.

[pure jackal]

like 10,000 spooooons

ever come up with a good name for an idea and then a week later it already exists?

I hate that

[granite kite]

Many times.
I've also come up with ideas only to discover later someone else had a STRIKINGLY similar idea around the same time but followed through with making it.

[pure jackal]

like I have the idea for a lil horror bit where the core of the earth is haunted and I wanted to call it core decay
And then like a month later fuckin Core Decay gets announced

[merry lotus]

Ever come up with an idea and you don't know it already exists but when you release it people tell you that you copied them

it's happened to me once

[granite kite]

#319922405252268032

[merry lotus]

[pure jackal]

Amogoose

I wonder if zag is still mad

hope not

[granite kite]

Probably not. He's most likely moved on.

[merry lotus]

there's probably an alternate universe where #319922405252268032 becomes popular instead of among us

the good timeline

[pure jackal]

it's the one where zag just made among us

[granite kite]

Among Us got popular cause it had mobile support; even though it came out 2 years after USM did.

[strong prairie]

i really want to live in that time line

[pure jackal]

Mobile support and the fact that it's so simple a child can play it

nowhere near as many kiddos playing UFSM

[granite kite]

And... those devs could pay for sponsorships.

[pure jackal]

RAID: Shadow Leg End

[granite kite]

Ads + Viralness = Snowball effect

[pure jackal]

I wonder how much money among us made on the Game Pass deal*

thats zags key to success, an xbox port and then game pass
regardless that the games already free

[granite kite]

Among Us has generated $86 million as of July 2021.
Players spent the most in October 2020 at $24.5 million. The US represents $54.6 million of the total profit, which is more than 60%. By September 2020, the game had earned $3.2 million through its additional in-game purchases. Mar 8, 2022

[pure jackal]

Bravo to Marcus

dude's won the game

[granite kite]

https://www.businessofapps.com/data/among-us-statistics/

[pure jackal]

all from a little flash cyoa

[granite kite]

2019 downloads: 10mil
2020 downloads: 350mil

Can't deny that the game hits something people want.

[pure jackal]

Butt of an injoke or not, devs probably a friggin billionaire by now

[pure jackal]

by 2021

its been almost a year

5/6's of a year by now to be exact

[strong prairie]

who knew the funny red spacemen got that much dough

[granite kite]

Yup; but we have to count costs, overhead, the other staff, etc

[pure jackal]

Pretty sure Puffballs hasn't grown past 10 people

unless it has

[granite kite]

Marcus is designer, Forest is programmer, Amy Liu is artist and Victoria Tran is community director.

[strong prairie]

what the hell happened in October 2021

[granite kite]

6.2 million people playing atm.

[strong prairie]

6.2 million children

[granite kite]

Without breaking any server rules.... all I can say is the game got hacked.

[strong prairie]

damn ok

[pure jackal]

I mean there are a bunch of hacks

there's a hack that makes it town of salem

[granite kite]

No, like... hard rule 1 and rule 8 kinda shit.

HARD.

[cunning wing]

among us vr tho

[pure jackal]

I like how the reveal trailer literally looked like the pavlov vr amongus map

it probably just IS that map

geometry leaks and all

[granite kite]

I thought it was funny how USM started to get popular again, so AU added the Shapeshifter to their game too.

[pure jackal]

isn't there an actual USM skin for it

or was that a mod

[granite kite]

I dunno. Probably a mod.

[indigo shard]

aw hell naw who put da record player in the cave

[merry lotus]

probably the fish

[indigo shard]

smart fish

[merry lotus]

she has a taste for jazz

[cobalt hemlock]

What do they listen too

[merry lotus]

al bowlly

since that's the only disc

[indigo shard]

lmao

[merry lotus]

and they're fish

so they can't put a new record in

yeah

[cobalt hemlock]

Are the fish briish

[indigo shard]

who throws vinyl records into the ocean anyway

[merry lotus]

[indigo shard]

[merry lotus]

[indigo shard]

[cobalt hemlock]

Let's throw the car battery into the ocean so the fish can powered their house

[indigo shard]

yes

[merry lotus]

yeah that'll work

[grim flax]

gaslighting your friends

[leaden granite]

i don't think you understand what gaslighting means

[meager valve]

I think he just used it as a synonym to bullying

[spare scarab]

Are you sure? Maybe you're wrong. He's not gasllighting you.

[merry lotus]

main menu concept

and for those who are about to search it up "aequor" is latin for "Deep sea"

wait

fuck i spelled it wrong

just a second

[indigo shard]

oooh

[merry lotus]

there we go

[cobalt hemlock]

Æ

[cobalt hemlock]

Just a concept but why not adding water dripping effect for funny

[solid rivet]

so on that note when are we getting the used car battery power up

god dammit i need to learn how to scroll that joke was already made

[wraith beacon]

Texturing.

Will probably redo/tweak a lot of these because I'm not too happy with them right now but 🤷‍♂️

[granite kite]

The drip effect is overdone, imo. Less drips and maybe animated?

[merry lotus]

Ambient Occlusion would probably look good imo

[fast vault]

Big head mode

He looks like a cross between Papyrus and Alucard from hellsing

A lot of old games used artificial "lighting". I think WC3 used it pretty extensively

[leaden granite]

wait a minute did something get leaked i've never seen this before

[pure jackal]

dnf 2001

[leaden granite]

ok i'm reading about this leak, apparently there's big drama going on about with the people who made the build

[merry lotus]

i wonder if any nb games use dotween

[pure jackal]

500 can prolly answer that under peanalty

[fast vault]

Working on more boss AI

[sonic cloud]

dark souls but difficult

[merry lotus]

oh shit I didn't know you were still working on that game

that's epic dude

[rough saddle]

why does that dash or whatever have to blinding

[meager valve]

Probably experiencing a sudden change of view is vomit-inducing so a short blinding is needed?

I dunno

[rough saddle]

but then it can be disorienting and you cant see other things

oh right i see the actual dash and it looks even more disorienting so maybe youre right

[fast vault]

Good note. I spend so much time with it that it just seems normal to me. Eventually I might replace it with just speed lines near the edge of the screen instead of the sudden jump of postprocessing effects

[fast vault]

Thanks! Yeah it's an ongoing project I'm working on with two other people. Slow process

[merry lotus]

Procedural animations are still kinda broken but the movement has been completely redone + tire tracks

Also the player does a little squish animation when starting a drift

Also champion coming

[pure jackal]

[rotund garden]

yooooooo

[indigo shard]

Epic

[cobalt hemlock]

Very nice

[fast vault]

Nice. Are you using dotween for that squish?

[merry lotus]

Yep. Ever since I knew how much Dotween could do, it's been my favorite unity package

[neon geode]

boomerang x 2?

[neon geode]

anyone got any idea why this isnt working?

[fast vault]

Would be cool - actually learned about that game a few months into development. There are definitely some similarities with movement, but theirs has a more "momentum-based" movement to them (which is pretty awesomel

[fast vault]

Are there any debug logs appearing?

[neon geode]

no

and in the scene the projectile goes right through

same goes for my player's projectiles with this enemy

making the bullet a trigger about 2 weeks ago was prolly a bad idea

still doesnt work

[fast vault]

Oh that's why. OnCollisionEnter won't be called if the object is a trigger. You'd have to call OnTriggerEnter

[neon geode]

it doesnt even work after making it a normal collider

[neon geode]

after experimentation, the projectile works normally, when not in a trigger

seems like its only when inside an inverted normal object

@fast vault any idea?

[fast vault]

Show the inspector for the player collider/rigidbody

[merry lotus]

hehehehehehe

[indigo shard]

yooooo

[fast vault]

Yo how'd you do the tire tracks?

[merry lotus]

Trail renderers that have their emitting boolean toggled based on whether the kart is drifting

[fast vault]

Ohhh it's just through trail renderers? Neat

[fast vault]

Just noticed, why are you caching the PlayerManager instance, and why do you try to GetComponent? PlayerManager.instance should be a public static instance that you don't need to use GetComponent on.

Other thoughts would be to make sure that the physics layers for the player and bullet are able to collide with each other

[earnest lily]

[humble herald]

[fast vault]

That looks so stressful. How'd you manage the moving red zone to detect the player while changing its area? Is it colliders or some custom thing?

[brazen copper]

This looks sick!

[desert shard]

Vector math lol

Basically checking the angle the the minute hand has covered versus the angle made the frog with the hour hand

And you can go into the red, just that your health will deplete at a rapid pace

[brazen copper]

Honest opinion lad... looks better as the pasty colors. (first two images)
Gives it more of a cartoony-game vibe that is associated with many kart racing games.

[humble herald]

Fits the lighting of that level more I'd say too

[indigo shard]

yeah in general the lighter ones look better

but the darker lighting works more seeing as its amid evil

[merry lotus]

alright how does this look?

[cobalt hemlock]

Gotta ask Gianni to voice this

[pure jackal]

It's already in the track.

[cobalt hemlock]

Just kidnap Gianni and force him to read the script

[pure jackal]

No.

Its unclear if this track is even going to be in the game

There would also be no place to put the audio

It can't be the music since it's 50+ lines of dialogue and players would certainly be faaar ahead of the narration

[grim flax]

find the average run time for the track completion and then have gianni adjust the speed of narration depending on that, like how wangleline did the timing for oryx 2's music based on the average time it takes for a group to rush the dungeon

[granite kite]

It doesn't need to be in the game.... if it's used as one of many trailers for the upcoming game, with each trailer showcasing a different racer/game world.

[pure jackal]

You volunteering to pay for it?

cause I'll split it

[granite kite]

If I had more than $5, I would totally do it. I have that much faith in the project.

Unfortunately, faith and high praise don't pay bills.

[pure jackal]

it does do wonders for morale

which isn't a lot but its something

I'll buy multiple copies.

[wraith beacon]

I think this is as good as I'm going to get the custom chromatic aberration.

(High offset is for testing)

It looks okay on more regular values but there's some pretty noticeable dithering artefacts at points.

And I'm not sure if it's big enough of an improvement over regular UE4 chromatic aberration to justify using it.

[brazen copper]

Squiddy punching the wall rn

[wraith beacon]

Regular UE4 chromatic aberration looks pretty artificial at high offsets though.

Uhhhhhh, my custom implementation doesn't really hold up without TAA because it's only using three samples with dithering.

[pure jackal]

Yours is by far much more pleasant to look at with high offsets

[cunning wing]

scronglo

[arctic radish]

also really old Metroid prime game I was making at one point (it went nowhere and I had no ideas)

Also another canned game I was making (didn't really feel like making it/ I didn't want to reimport my character model again for the 3rd time to fix the shading)

[granite kite]

I have idea from games of old.

Hidden things on title screen/main menu that can be clicked on/interacted with to trigger funny things.
One example being some karts drifting through if you click on the word "kart"; another being some NB characters walk on screen and do the YMCA thing with their bodies to spell KART (if the player can find the secret trigger.)

[pure jackal]

well now its not a secret no more >:I

[granite kite]

It is still cause I haven't given an idea of what it is. Just the idea to do it.

[pure jackal]

You see that propane tank?

I'm going to chuck it at you.

[granite kite]

I activate my Yske shield and defer the damage to a nearby Rat.

[pure jackal]

IT SAYS TO NOT CHUCK AT FELLOW RACERS

LAST I CHECKED USM ISN'T WITH NEW BLOOD ANYMORE*

THEREFORE THE SPACEMAN IN YOUR PFP IS NOT PART OF THE RACE

[granite kite]

Okay?

I'm never allowed to play cause I have Spaceman pfp?
Sad....

[pure jackal]

No you're just not a character

unless plaz decides otherwise

[granite kite]

Well I knew that.

I was just responding to your chucking of tank at me by using Yske as meat shield.

[pure jackal]

...

I don't see that move in the codex

[sudden imp]

the proper use

[granite kite]

Konami code.

[pure jackal]

That ain't in the rulebook either

[granite kite]

@merry lotus can you make a shield pickup that looks like @quick tartan, plz?

[merry lotus]

ok

[granite kite]

[merry lotus]

now when you say "looks like yske" what do you mean

like a sphere with yske's PFP on it or a 3d model of yske's oc circling the kart like Aku Aku

[granite kite]

Whichever is funnier as a meat shield.

[merry lotus]

ok

[pure jackal]

I still think that if the angel orb from Ultrakill is the NBK blue shell, the coin would be the logical deflect speaker

@merry lotus Counter proposal-
Yske is the blooper

just climbs on the other players screen

it also helps that I had a hand in music for a few years before

nice

Internet is invaluable

You can learn almost anything

[unique trellis]

too bad it´s filled with cringe and idiocy to the brim

but among the filth you may find knowledge

[rustic holly]

So is the real world

Online I can choose what to ignore :)

[unique trellis]

you have a point, I think the net just makes stupidity more visible in general

[unique trellis]

yeah, I can see that

[rustic holly]

lol mate pls stop pinging me 😭

🙏

[unique trellis]

fuck, sorry

[rustic holly]

ur good

I've been 3D modeling for 9 years
Ever since I was 10
Still have yet to figure out an ideal way to make environments in large scales

Also if we're showing off game assets
Here's a few characters I've made for various game teams in the past (Which btw most dev teams I've worked with usually died due to head devs not communicating with the rest of the team. GRR.)

[rustic holly]

nice :)

[unique trellis]

they all look fancy and filled with inspiration

STOP BEING SO TALENTED MY OVERINFLATED EGO CAN´T TAKE IT

[rustic holly]

You should take a look at Yannick Gombart's prop breakdowns on ArtStation, they have some really cool techniques I think you could implement to make these even stronger pieces.

some edge highlights/wear and cavity mapping, along with some beveled edges in the hipoly for the bake could be really cool.

I assume you use a hipoly to lowpoly bake workflow?

[arctic radish]

I tend not to take my time with BGs or post processing at all

also no all low poly

I don't like working with high poly mesh's unless it's Retopo

[rustic holly]

you should look into Substance Painter/Designer and the hipoly to lowpoly workflow. It's quite important for game assets, even for hardsurface stuff :)

[unique trellis]

it´s nice to see talent in here as well

gotta go make dinner

later doods

❤️

[rustic holly]

You basically transfer the information of the hipoly mesh down into the textures of the lowpoly mesh's UVs so you can have more detail outside of the base geometry

[arctic radish]

I know about sOOOO many SP/SD programs, but I never tent to use them

[rustic holly]

they are each a single program

lol

[arctic radish]

Blender is my go to unless it's for normal maps, then I do some normal editing in Paint.net

[rustic holly]

If you're going to learn game dev asset creation, you should invest your time into learning Adobe Substance Suite and common game dev techniques. I think you could go very far. Good work with what u have tho :)

[rustic holly]

that workflow is how you can create low poly foliage with great amount of detail. It all gets baked into a texture from a model

this us an example of some foliage I made the other day

I used tools in Substance to paint details and shading information

this is the solid view of the foliage in game

quite low poly

[arctic radish]

Just throwin' this out there
I'm well acquainted with the "proper"/"industry standard" workflow, I've known how this works from the start
I honestly despise it, I'd rather find alternatives to programs if at all possible due it being such an obnoxiously high price barrier to even buy "professional" tools

I've worked with C4D, Maya, 3dsMax
All of them had the same issue with how annoying they are to get ahold of just the bare minimum and control wise
Our Middle School had us use 3DS Max, People call it professional (at the time )
But I swiftly learned about Blender, and it may be a swiss army knife or jack of all trades, but unlike most industry standard programs, It worked well for me, and it will always work well for me

I also tried other texturing tools like Mixer, Substance Designer, and another one iirc it was called Marmoset
all 3 just didn't work
Mixer just flat out didn't boot after relaunching it and bluescreened my PC, SD didn't even get past the welcome popup window before it crashed and closed itself, and Marmoset is just not... that good UI wise for me to understand, and looking at both the official documentation and YT vids, yeah that's a hard pass.

[rustic holly]

Damn

I use Blender, Substance programs, Marmoset, and a bunch more lol

It helps to have an income from this cause it lets you get access to lots of cool tools

Zbrush, Terragen, and Marvelous Designer are fun.

Speedtree too

I’d recommend trying to learn those programs in my opinion. They’re invaluable.

Anyways I gtg. Ttyl :)

[arctic radish]

I've never got payed for my models whenever working with other devs, I made like 9 character models for 1 dev team once, the head dev said the rest of the team would get payed by the end of the month, Halfway through the month, head dev and 3 other higher up team members got in a fight in a call about how they should handle paying the team, and then the head dev literally said to the rest of the team in email "Fuck you all, I'll take my game concept elsewhere"
I only know this because one of the 3 other higher devs was someone ik irl and yeahhhh

solo/very small scope stuff in the beginning will get you the best results. If you do commission work, make sure you get paid at least 50% upfront if it isn't from a reputable company.

Making maps for CSGO has let me keep my scope low and focusing on a single environment at a time with a lot of constraints that forces me to think carefully about what I want to make. I've worked with a maximum of two others at once and I always try to keep workload even and at a flat hierarchy
