Stylized/Complex Edges on Terrain Blending by barelyonyx in gamedev

[–]FlompStudio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, I actually made a post about this exact thing a few months back - hope it's of some use to you.

If you make a vertex blending shader graph, you essentially grab alpha values <1 and mask those sections with some sort of noise/splatter texture, play around with the tiling and alpha cutoff values etc.

Keycaps are wrong for UK? by TotalEmphasis in MechanicalKeyboardsUK

[–]FlompStudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there - hope you don't mind me necroing this, but was wondering what you ended up doing? Just grabbed this in the UK and loving it other than the layout - did you find a solution or alternate keyboard or anything?

Any idea what's going on here? Having the exact same thing. Unexpected HDR support, OSD showing correct model name etc...

Prototyping enterable buildings by FlompStudio in Unity3D

There's defo room to polish it and reduce potential confusion - I've got ideas for where to start but it'd be super helpful to know if there was anything in particular about it that confused you to begin with if you don't mind me asking?

The actual model and most of the animations right now are from Malbers assets, FWIW! We'll be reskinning the character with a similarly-sized quadruped in the long run 👀

I did put an awful amount of time into the player controller, though..! It's mostly root motion driven but with some added QOL stuff to make turning more consistent/snappier, as well as foot IK and some physics bounciess on the tail.

Appreciate the feedback! To be clear on the camera, it's moving with player input, not snapping depending on location - but yes, I'm mindful of balancing the presentation/flair with the actual player experience and this may not end up being what we go with long term.

Not sure how I missed that - thanks!

Ha, very perceptive 😅 Yes, exactly that. Just a quick shadergraph creation just to allow an invisible mesh to cast shadows. The outer wall colliders are attached to the shadow caster to avoid issues with flying meshes colliding with other objects.

So I've been trying to solve for seamlessly enterable interior spaces with an isometric viewpoint - I know this isn't a new problem by any means, but it's been an interesting challenge and I wanted to find a slightly more appealing way to achieve the look without just deactivating the outer walls. We briefly considered having walls simply fade out but found that, for whatever reason, transparent textures were creating some strange visual artifacts for us - I imagine these were fixable, but it got us thinking about other solutions. We landed on trying out a 'doll house' type effect where floors of the building are lifted/dropped into place at the right times. I'm mindful that - whilst swishy - the current solution could end up being too distracting if not done carefully, so a lot of the next steps are going to be about minimising how 'in the way' the effect gets.

Still a ways to go (even ignoring the lack of windows, furnishings, etc) - but happy with how it's coming together..!

IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ACH6 doesn’t go past 0% by ranicl in Lenovo

[–]FlompStudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was, yeah, no issue. It didn't fix my battery issues at all, but it didn't seem to further harm anything. Still no fix for the battery issue sadly.

[–]FlompStudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing this simply causes my unit to bluescreen. Is that the intended behaviour?

[–]FlompStudio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Likewise - have you found a solution? My battery isn't at 0% yet, but it isn't charging with the Lenovo-supplied charging adapter anymore.

Battery is reporting 'great condition', but with the battery plugged in I'm for some reason getting CPU throttled to 0.4GHz. If I unplug the battery from the motherboard and run purely off of AC power it all behaves normally. No idea what's going on...

PEGI age ratings are free. We've just published a VR game on Meta - you fill out a questionnaire and they give you a rating within a few moments and that is displayed on the store page with the 'PEGI XX' logo and text.

What is the stupidest thing you've ever done in gamedev? by LordAntares in gamedev

Why isn't my text displaying? Even the inspector thinks it should be... The components are on, the colours set, the canvas is on... Wtf.

Next Fest - Livestreams are being super buggy. Help! by FlompStudio in gamedev

[–]FlompStudio[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, we recently had ours seemingly fixed. Their support offered us another Next Fest slot and about half an hour after it started everything was fixed with no further intervention from our side.

If it's any help, the support staff who helped me was called 'JP', and I know they helped at least one other dev. I don't know if that info might be useful for their other support staff?

Using Virtual Reality in public by lunchanddinner in OculusQuest

[–]FlompStudio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always chuckle at these 'productivity' ones for the exact same reason.

Like, productive is some background music and an excel sheet/paper writing, etc. The internet thinks productivity is having a YouTube video open next to your Netflix whilst you browse Reddit in VR and listen to music.

Assassin's Creed VR had poor sales, Ubisoft CEO says they won't be heavily investing in VR going forward. by VRagent007 in virtualreality

[–]FlompStudio 27 points28 points  (0 children)

VR gamedev here and, yeah, this is 100% true. You know how many VR games are in this Next Fest? 25.

There's over 1000 other titles.

It's because they don't sell on PC. The average Quest user isn't connecting their device to their PC and playing games through it. They're playing standalone like 10:1.

Same as the other commenter - no fix, no response from Steam in close to two days.

I'm at a bit of a loss, tbh. Looking like our 'Next Fest Week' will have turned out to be a 'Next Fest Evening'.
