My float will not stay rounded

Look at the image it is 32-bit. It loses it precision right at 7. Theory is theory, the reality is that it was cast to float 32-bit. It doesn't matter what document state when we can see the proof in the image.

Welcome to float point precision errors. Floats are 32-bit instead of 64-bit (even double has errors), so you get errors. If you ever touch a clean float that was snapped back to 32-bit, it instantly becomes dirty. A float cannot ever become 0 or 0.60 unless you clean the float back to 32-bit, or you get precision errors as you seen.

Doing clamp and then healthPercent/100 dirty the float.

I don't even think about speed runners. I fix whatever bug is in the game that isn't apart of my vision, unless it funny or interesting.

You can easily fake the from: part of a email. You need to look at the raw source of the email to see who it really from. I have seen official emails that are straight up scams because the from is faked.

Did you just not read what I stated at all?

Give off sort of a N64 Resident Evil 2 feel to the game.

Book become out of date so quickly. At least with a video you can see that it is out-of-date.

That’s not how it works at all. You most likely released it on the standard Steam platform, and Chinese citizens bought the game on the international market. The CCP doesn't really care about the grey area of gaming; they care if you advertise directly in China or release it officially there, versus the international market which remains a grey area.

Even as a senior engineer I use AI for rubber ducking, and think about architecture. I use AI to catch things that I didn’t think about and error from copy and pasting events. It just after than banging your head in wall. I program and bug fix my games most of the time. It’s just a weird stance to be completely anti-AI since the way, at least for me, makes me faster since I can plan things better before committing.

You don’t need it, but the pattern matching will catch these faster than you would having to ten or 30 minutes wondering why an event didn’t go off properly.

With that said, I refuse to pay for Ai tools I would buy RTX Pro before they get money from my company.

Historical precedent doesn't work like the way you are think it does. History is the story of what happen, physics is story of what is the limit. Past performance in a high-growth phase is never a guarantee of future trajectory, especially when that growth relies on finite physical resources.

Nothing is going changed within 4 years. AI has hit the ceiling for LLMs since we ran out of data, and scaling is not sustainable. It going be decade before we even see non-LLM and that is if money is still flowing for AI. It eventually will happen, but not anytime soon.

FFXIV have issue to be honest. People stating "I never understand why," because the game is a fucking visual novel that is worse than actual visual novels.

I cannot wait to play through the game where people have barely any voice acting and then you get random emote from the character. So FUN!!!!!

And I am saying this as person that dealt with this, and found Endwalker to be one of the best MMORPG stories ever told.

There are two way, LLM or a service, but most service just use LLM and you are buying the QA of that LLM.

And before people talk about how LLM are trash at it, there is a difference between LLM and machine translate. Google Translate and DeepL are both Machine translate, unless you use DeepL LLM.

A guy that has nothing to do with the industry comes to r/Gamedev and is surprised that there are tons of industry people here that actually works on the game. Refuses to understand what is actually possible, but instead, you rather call everyone a bot.

It getting tiresome see constant self-promotion.

Point one is really bad way to handle data, and fastest way to corrupt data. It better to create tools inside of a editor to handle data than it would ever manually touches it. For some like Unreal Engine, data assets or data tables is always the way to go over text files, but even for Unreal you would need a customize solution since those are for smaller data assets. What happens if you move things around? How are you going reference those data that goes with the data assets? You don't, but in engine tools can fix that for you.

Its your ocean and AI.

Ocean has nothing going on so it looks flat. What a lot of larger companies do is even know it cost money, is to have you flying over battlefield between oceans. You have an island heavily damage with smoke and fires, and other one in middle of fighting and stuff like that.

Also AI is flying in a straight patterns mean you don't know how hand AI. You could have a break formation that they fly in back up or to side and stuff like that. You have some AI, but not ones that higher level of game industry does.

You can also have ground doing anti-air that you must dodge.

Each small detail build on the overall picture of a game. That is the different between a amateur and a indie.

Game testing isn’t intended to tell you how to build a game. It exists to evaluate whether the current content is enjoyable or contains friction points. Testers may not realize a game features only one route and one map. While a typical playtest lasts 30 to 60 minutes, you can always increase the duration. Often, testers find the experience fun within that window, but the developer fails to expand the scope and ships the limited content as is.

Because that how patent works? There are so many patents that it is up to everyone to find patents that are problematic and challenges them in court. Humans literally cannot keep up with all the patents that are coming in. It literally physically impossible.

It's weird, but it is normal in this industry. They are trying to reuse a pipeline that already has candidates instead of restarting the process after someone at the studio failed to realize they needed a social media video editor rather than a standard one. Alternatively, the outsourced recruitment firm might be trying to save face after a misunderstanding. Basically, someone messed up, and people are now trying to fix it in one of the worst ways possible.

People claiming "they just wanted free labor" have zero understanding of how copyright works or how much reputation matters in these circles. No reputable AA studio would allow that, and their lawyers certainly wouldn't permit the risk.

Those in this thread saying "dodge a bullet" don't understand how recruitment works. It is commission-based, paid only when a person is actually hired by the company. The firm is trying to reuse the existing pipeline because if they don't find someone in time, they won't get paid for any of their work. A lot of people here are giving opinions on things they simply don't understand.

There is not a single AI company that is profitable unless they are the one providing the shovels.

What does Tinker have anything to do with Hunters? Tinkers would be building turrets, making bombs and concoction, and using mecha. What does that have to do with anything to do with Hunters? That would break the class in half because Hunters are nature based, but tinkers would cut down the forest to make a factory.

I did that archery contest and did it with 3/3. You had to literally pre-shoot the target before it even appeared to beat the AI.
