| Posted: 10 Aug 2020 08:54 AM PDT People say it's all about making a good game but I'm not convinced. It seems to me that being successful is largely about just being lucky enough to have some high profile youtuber or some other internet personality pick up and feature your game thus giving you exposure. How many games have been made that are good yet are noticed by nobody because no youtuber or streamer stumbled across it by chance? Some will say "just advertise" but without millions of dollars that means little. Is getting noticed by the masses just chance? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 10 Aug 2020 01:58 AM PDT When you're locked into a development sprint, it's easy to forget how to switch off and take a break. I woke up this morning and replied to a few WhatsApp messages from work colleagues. It wasn't until the 4th or 5th message that I realised I was ending each line with a semicolon... I dreamed about my game, I fell asleep to GDC talks, and I woke up with my notebook open next to me. Whilst it's good to be invested in what you are making, I just want to remind everyone to take a break. Go outside for a bit, spend some time with other human beings, hell even play some video games. Taking some time away from your project can give you a fresh set of eyes and prevent that dreaded burnout. There's nothing wrong with giving yourself a bit of TLC. Much love to you all and good luck with your projects. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Need Help With Occlusion Material in UE4 Posted: 10 Aug 2020 09:53 AM PDT Hey everyone! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iouVCq0fjyQ I'm working on a material that can be masked off depending on the player's line of sight. I've come up with a neat workaround that involves a procedurally generated mesh that is constructed based off raycasts from the player ( I'm using https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/line-of-sight-visualization ). Using a SceneCaptureComponent2D, I ignore everything except the procedural mesh and render it out to a render texture the size of the viewport. Then I overlay the texture over the viewport using screen UVs and use the alpha to mask out obstructing meshes. As novel as a solution as this is, does anyone know a better method to achieve this effect as far as performance and results go? Graphics programming isn't exactly my specialty, so I'm sure a better solution exists. I've included the video up top to demonstrate what the effect is currently doing, and while it is mostly functional (apart from rendering near terrain over top of the player if pushed up against an opposite wall), I just want a more performance aware solution. Thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 10 Aug 2020 10:11 AM PDT Hello everyone, Recently I was thinking about the definition of "Game" and thus made some research on the internet. I tried to summarise what I found in this video and wanted to share it with you to ask for feedback about both, the contents and the presentation. Any feedback appreciated. Thanks :) P.S. I realise that this is my first video and it probably sucks XD I hope your feedback will help me improve [link] [comments]  | ||

| Shaders to texturate minecraft like materials Posted: 10 Aug 2020 09:22 AM PDT Hello everyone, I'm beginning in the shader area and i would like if it possible to do a block texturation with shaders. I have a cubic world (like minecraft) where i'm generating chunks. In those chunks, only visible vertex are generated. Currently, it means that if i have a 2x2x1 chunk, it will generate 8 triangles for the above part (2 for each block). I'm trying to generate only two following this method https://0fps.net/2012/06/30/meshing-in-a-minecraft-game/ But before that, i would like to know, if i can thanks to shaders, generate something like that: https://imgur.com/fTLRINH As you can see it has 3 different tiles; grass, dirt-grass and dirt. Currently, with my shader, i'm doing something like that: https://paste.ofcode.org/naMTAC3LaNqGS74ambD4n4 Is it possible through shaders to achieve something like i desire do i have to stick with sides with multiple triangles and handle them individually? Thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Can you identify the software used? Posted: 10 Aug 2020 08:37 AM PDT Hello, I've been inspired by UnderAir's game called Get aCC_e55. Its a mobile exploration/puzzle game where you explore room by room and rotate the room to see all sides. Im having trouble recognizing the software Mr. Andrew Kyznetsov used when developing his game. I want to start making my own game and I'd love knowing how I could get started in a similar vein.

| Game development language choice and tools Posted: 10 Aug 2020 08:18 AM PDT I am a programmer and I want to go into game dev.. but i don't know which language to choose though. So I am in two minds as to what language I will choose and tools in it.. Please suggest me a language to work in and tools I can use with it. P.S "If you think I should use C# then please give me a game dev library / tool that isn't resource heavy [link] [comments]  | ||

| Distributive Single Shard MMORPG? Posted: 10 Aug 2020 07:46 AM PDT I am a hobbyist game developer and I am wondering if anyone has given any thought to a distributive Single Shard MMORPG? There are a few video services that are distributive, meaning that they use clients as a way to serve up content without needing a large amount of expensive server hardware. I was wondering if anyone has thoughts on the idea. I was thinking something like EVE Online where the world is broken up into sectors. Seeing as EVE can have a lot of ships in a single area, I was thinking you could handle it like an RTS where you look at just the player commands and make sure all calculations with the same input result in the same output across all platforms. Every player would run the simulation every second. The players would then send the hashes of the sector state to each other for verification (optional). Then the players would send their hashes to the master server. The master server would then pick the hash it has decided most players agree with and request that state in a bit-torrent way. Any players who don't have that hash will also request the state. This way the master server just keeps the latest state and the players do all the simulation. Thoughts? P.S. Yes, I know there is no way I am ever going to get close to making something like EVE Online out of my basement. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Why is my shirt's patches shiny under certain weather and time in GTA? Posted: 10 Aug 2020 11:12 AM PDT Hey everyone! I'm a 3D Modeller and modder for GTA and I'm doing UK Police uniforms. Now I am using a base shirt from GTA, modified it in 3DS Max and added patches that says Police and has the officer's Badge Number. Now under certain weather conditions of "Cloudy" and from 1200-1500, the patches I've added on are shiny or have a form of wetness on them. This isn't present any other time or weather. This is what the issue looks like: https://imgur.com/a/14MJszi Here is what everything looks like in under other weather conditions, the vest also has this issue that it is looking wet or really reflective in those weather conditions too: https://imgur.com/a/DF5XeqT I've ensured it's not the Spec or Normal maps by removing them and this problem is still present. In 3DS Max, the Vertex Colours are the following: https://imgur.com/a/nxh4Qd8 Those are the Vertex Colours for the whole shirt and the patches are those colours too. Now, here are what the Map Channels look in the VertexPaint Modifier: Map Channel 1: https://imgur.com/a/g6KOefW Map Channel 2: https://imgur.com/a/XDZ819S Some more background information is that I use a plugin called Gims Evo and which I can use materials that are for GTA. The Spec and Normal maps are embedded in the model as that's what GTA needs. All Specular components in the material are are on 0, there is no spec on the shirt whatsoever other than the Spec map. I export the files into an .odd which I can add into the game through another program called Open IV. If anyone has any ideas or needs more information, please let me know! I'd love to solve this issue as it's awesome to have my stuff in a game! Cheers! [link] [comments]  |
