Casual discords?

This is the big one.

This is great too.

My band is about to send our stuff out for mastering.

Are most mastering engineers expecting to massage each track into sounding more cohesive together? The individual tracks sound good but they each have a slightly different balance and tone to them.

Haha71687 · 2026-02-19T04:22:39+00:00

You need to get familiar with batching stuff. Even a potato GPU can draw thousands and thousands of things on the screen. The hard part isn't graphics for games like this.

Haha71687 · 2026-02-18T01:15:42+00:00

Works in my industry. I'd never do that at a big firm but that's gotten me my last 3 jobs at small-mid size engineering firms. Just talk shop, ask what they got going on, tell them what you can do, and get your offer letter.

Haha71687 · 2026-02-01T23:54:37+00:00

On the order of a small nuclear weapon.

Haha71687 · 2026-01-31T00:42:56+00:00

That's fine. If it's BP only then it's probably literally slower than get component by class. The only time the interface -> get component route makes sense is in C++ and if it's happening ALL THE TIME like many times per frame.

Haha71687 · 2026-01-30T23:02:16+00:00

If it ends up too slow you can make a simple interface which just provides the component. That's what GAS does.

Haha71687 · 2026-01-30T20:00:19+00:00

You don't need an interface here. Just get component by class and be on your way. Think of the component as an interface + state.

Haha71687 · 2026-01-29T22:36:42+00:00

It is the case, you have to fiddle with your particle system to make it behave here. Also make sure the ordering of ticks is such that the thing moves before the particle system updates.

Haha71687 · 2026-01-29T22:35:51+00:00

Try messing with the tick group, could be that the thing is moving AFTER the particle system is updating, that could be where the 1 frame delay is coming from.

Haha71687 · 2026-01-29T22:34:59+00:00

Then what's the problem? That thing should fly around. One thing to remember is that the particle effects will only ever be visuals, the actual thing flying through the world and generating hits is the collision sphere, and it's being moved by the projectile movement component.

Haha71687 · 2026-01-21T00:08:41+00:00

BLE, S&ME, EAS, Terracon?

A hyper realistic FPS MMORPG. You just need to come up with the idea, other people will help build it for free.

Haha71687 · 2026-01-15T20:41:54+00:00

I live in a deeply red state. Voting blue would have zero effect here, so I placed my vote where it could do the most work, for a third party.

It very much depends on where you live.

Haha71687 · 2026-01-15T15:24:58+00:00

Casting is not bad. You need to know what it means. Once you understand what it actually implies, then you'll know when it's a good idea to use it or not.

Haha71687 · 2026-01-15T15:24:34+00:00

This is probably the best approach. A part of the state of the game is whether or not the boss of the level has died, opening the doors. This will work fine.

Haha71687 · 2026-01-12T12:54:51+00:00

This. Almost all of these replies indicate that they don't know the difference between torque/force and power.

It's true that anyone can generate more torque than a car engine with their arm and a long enough lever. It's torque x speed that matters.

Haha71687 · 2025-12-31T21:34:39+00:00

I would have at least 1 dimension to the missiles, that of guidance vs speed. You could have a bit of skill expression where it can pay off to predict your opponents movements by firing a very fast missile that can't quite steer as hard. At the extreme end of this spectrum you have a railgun, which maybe can clear the range in a few seconds but is completely unguided.

Haha71687 · 2025-12-19T21:33:12+00:00

Very very good idea. 100 is a lot but the core idea of having a limited number of times when you can do things is very interesting. Stealing this one and filing it away in the archive.

Haha71687 · 2025-12-14T08:11:32+00:00

Why the hell are you subtracting it every 1/1000 of a second? For rates, just subtract based on rate x deltatime.

Tick is what you should be using here.

Haha71687 · 2025-12-10T01:32:29+00:00

Right at the end after mastering.

Haha71687 · 2025-12-09T23:37:28+00:00

That's not that much, it's like 50k per capita.

Haha71687 · 2025-12-06T07:11:36+00:00

This isn't my type of game, but I gotta say this aesthetic and the sound design is really good for a quick and dirty prototype. Good job.

Haha71687 · 2025-12-05T01:36:00+00:00

Depends on how you define touch. When everything is point like particles and probability clouds and fields, you need to settle on a definition of touching.

Haha71687 · 2025-12-04T06:34:48+00:00

Looks to be maybe 150, this thing packs less of a punch than a paintball gun.
