Talk about anything

@Pixophir I am starting to think you should make a game about your own life- I'm imaging a woodsy survival sim.

Does this seem like a bad idea? -> A FPS that is made to directly appear to speed runners, just 100 percent run and gun.

Also, I have spent about 12 hours in Godot 4 alpha 13 this week. Not one crash or anything!

@Audiobellum I absolutely love the open world concept games, usually. But, yeah, they can be very large. Now I usually like big survival ones as you actually can get lost, and that might be what is intended. Ridiculous size would be Fallout 4. It boasts what, 200 sq ft of game world, and little storyline or a way to get lost for very long.

Now a big world could be a benefit to the game if done right. Green Hell, IDK how big it is, but if it has a huge world, it's understandable and would make the game more terrifying. I'm still combining the first place you're at in game so I remember where things are. I heard getting lost can be pretty easy, and I really have to be able to get back to the base in a minute's notice to make it back to a fire and bed, which offers sanity in-game and a place to cook food and make safe water. Getting lost in a big world like that will give you a very high chance of your character's death. Can you make a new fire and bed before sundown, or will you pass out on the cold ground and wake up suffering the consequences?

@Erich_L We're getting more every day ...

I have a long list of games I could do. I personally like simulation games, or puzzles, and ones where I can avoid fighting, apart from thinking how to plan the next step. Think Factorio or KSP. Ok, Factorio has that element where you must fend off vermin, but once half way in the game that just becomes a side subject.

But first the base for my greater plans :-)

Waiting for Godot 4 documentation.

Btw., should someone be interested in some theory, Hu et al., Signed Distance Fields Dynamic Diffuse Global Illumination:

Taking it with me to the pub for reading. 🍻

Erich_L

Pixophir I'm here for you. I almost have 400 hours in factorio. Bringing that kind of reading to the pub. I somehow feel less isolated. My first game project in godot was 3d factory (kind of) with physics, but I kind of want to do it in Unreal after I saw the smoke/particle system that would collide with game objects. Not enough games where you can go face to face with a smoke stack.

Darn it. Now I want to hang my life simulator for a zombie survival. 🧟 🧟‍♂️ 🧟‍♀️

zombie survival life simulator?

spacecloud life sim of a zombie?

Survival in a zombie world in VR... Why not. I could whip up something. I suppose there would be an optional way to win, like building something to get you out of the area, but one could simply not do that and just see how long they live... It's not the first time I did something like this. Again, though, all my assets are not in Godot... Man, we need a bigger marketplace here. I would rather program in GDScript. I would make the switch faster than a coin could be flipped.

IK, get to the chopper in the hospital that started the zombie mess, or forever be forced into a war against the undead. However, it needs parts.

Now, to have it solely single player or multiplayer with a race to see who gets there first...? Oh, and if we do multiplayer, if you get caught by a zombie, you end up turning and fighting everyone else. The survivor zombie gets a special bonus next round...

I finished Severed Steel, about 7 hours for the campaign, but there are a lot of unlockables and extra modes, so I may keep playing it. Definitely worth checking out if you want some good action without 16 hours of boring cut scenes.

Just binge watched My Name on Netflix. You might like it @Kojack another Korean revenge fantasy.

Pixophir

A heads up:

Out of interest and totally unrelated to any prior discussion (hear, hear) I gave in to my play instinct, prokrastinated and downloaded and compiled O3DE via github, started a project, downloaded undocumented dependencies, started a project, recompiled because the engine has different modes to run as an independent SDK or to be compiled together with a project, started a project, and guess what ...

... it didn't work. Graphics glitches in the editor, errors because missing pipelines and assets, a bunch of warnings not exactly human readable ...

... tl, dr: Hands off. At least on Linux, maybe better on windows, idc.

Pixophir Welcome to the world of ~~cryengine~~ I mean Lumberyard, scratch that, Open 3D Engine it is.

cybereality

I never tried it, but I watched this video when it came out and gave it a pass.

I've messed with CryEngine before. The graphics are amazing, but that's just about it.

Pixophir

Hu ? That nose ... is it .... oh no ... it is him ! Wearing his crown, the king of ... it is Michael Jackson !

Kojack

I tried Cryengine back when it first became freely available (around 2010 I think). The docs were poor, things didn't work well, and their system falsely banned people from the editor so often that the Cryengine forum had a massively long "Post your account name here and we'll unban you" thread.
(You needed an account to start the editor. But if two people tried to use the editor from the same IP (like a school or an office) it would auto ban them, or something like that)

cybereality

So I won't say I have a lot of experience with CryEngine, but I did try it around 2015 I think. Basically, I will just download any 3D engine and time how long it takes me to make a spinning textured cube. Usually it is not long. With CryEngine I spent an entire night, probably like 4 hours, and I could not get a texture to apply to the cube, or make it spin. So it failed the test. It wasn't even worth my time if it takes that long, I can't even imagine the hell of making a full game. For reference, this is me doing the same thing in Unreal Engine 4 in 2 minutes (granted I did a dry run before I recorded the video, but it didn't take that much longer).

I've got this weird problem that has been plaguing my cellphone for days. Every time I use the internet on my phone( on my laptop via hotspot), I notice that all of my call credit disappears for someone reason; this is despite me not using all of it to activate the internet service for my phone. I'd also randomly hear my phone telling me that I don't have enough call credit to "make this call", even though I'm not making any calls and therefore can't even hangout on the "call" that I'm supposedly trying to make; somethings I even get this message in a foreign language I don't even know how to speak. Does anyone know what the problem is, and how to fix it?

TwistedTwigleg

Audiobellum maybe a virus? I dunno, it sounds strange. If you can, I might see if you can take the phone to your cell provider (or equivalent) and let them take a look to see what is going on.

Are you serious? Sounds like it might be compromised. You can try anti-virus, I use BitDefender, that might be a good first step.

Audiobellum

cybereality I originally assumed it had to do with me, having too many ads on my phone auto updating but, deleting the ads hasn't helped. I already have a anti-virus on my phone; Avast Mobile Security. I'm going to assume it's crap and try out BitDefender instead.
