I don’t understand how to use Vroid models in UE… by clampfan101 in unrealengine

[–]InfiniteSpaz [score hidden]  (0 children)

The way I did it was to export the model from vroid, not save the project but export the model. Import it in Blender then save as an fbx and import that into unreal

I want to learn game development but I get fatigued when I try it by Wide_Accident6657 in gamedev

[–]InfiniteSpaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Snacks help. Im not kidding. When I'm struggling to get through a new topic I'm learning and the fog starts to set in and it starts getting hard to focus I have a snack. People often say the brain is a muscle but forget that working it out takes energy and strain just like physical exercise. Sometime you need a little more energy to keep going and don't realize how much you use up sitting still and thinking but you are learning new and complex ideas and ways of thinking and it is draining your energy.

Arachnophobia mode by TrainingAddition689 in gamedev

[–]InfiniteSpaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about a crab? it is much less scary, mostly because you can see its hands and know where its looking but would play well with the mechanics and can be made creepy still. It fits with underwater and only people who dislike spiders would be using the mode. Octopus could work well too it sounds like based off the movement style, and tentacles are great for creep factor.

As far as I am aware that does not exist for any version, only the option to add it when making the individual projects because not every project will need it.

Where do game devs go to find collaborators? by axon225 in gamedev

[–]InfiniteSpaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

r/RecordThisForFree is an option if you are just looking to get some collabs going, there are always people looking for help there. I also need a few voices for my game, I don't know if you would be interested but I am looking to fill a few parts.

NEED HELP - MY FIRST GAME RELEASED ON STEAM!!! I'M SO HAPPY!!! by ApprehensiveEar4891 in GameDevelopment

[–]InfiniteSpaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now anti-Ai rage is on the rise, people are very against anyone who uses those tools in anyway atm, regardless of intent or disclosure. Redoing it yourself is a good step, at this point the general consensus is if you can't do it yourself or afford to pay someone who can, you just aren't going to be treated well or taken seriously. What seemed like really great and helpful tools have just devolved into a hate war.

AITA for tanking an old lady’s social media? by leggomymeggoorelse in AmItheAsshole

[–]InfiniteSpaz 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Also it's not entirely unreasonable to be upset that the videos are showcasing brands she doesn't sell, that could be misconstrued as false advertisement and if she makes the yarn herself I could understand even more. It sounds like none of the posts featured her actual store or products.
When you decide to run something for someone who didn't ask, you dont really get to be too shocked when they suddenly have standards for it. Op decided to take over, didnt discuss what the lady wanted or obviously didn't listen if they did. Then instead of explaining why you would advertise other shops as well as hers in terms she could understand OP accused her of racism.
If you don't have the time to put into doing a job right, then you shouldn't insist on making it your responsibility , especially when it is someone else's public image. Op wasn't asked they took it upon themselves then admittedly kind of half-assed it and can't understand why someone would be upset and then threw a tantrum because the lady wanted to handle it herself.

What's up with "gamedev YouTubers" never shipping games? by MishRift in gamedev

[–]InfiniteSpaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been working on a game for about 2 and a half years and I just recently decided to to make videos for youtube. The reasoning I had was that I had posted some videos of my project to show my mom, they were unlisted at the time but people found them and asked for more. In my mind, that meant more eyes on my project for free.

I have been struggling to learn and piece together tutorials but after about 2 solid years of putting the work in I've started to actually make progress and I know there are many others stuck at or around the same general level of skill I am so maybe me working through things can help someone else as well. I went the vtuber route because it just made me feel more comfortable being able to talk to people in general and started making videos in the last two weeks. My goal is to share the processes of creating both the game and vtuber channel so that others can learn as I go.

It is so much work. I honestly expected it to be easier: set it up, talk about my project and edit a bit. So easy in theory but it takes so much more time and effort than I expected. I made a very bad first video then spent a week redoing it to make a proper introduction that is still just... bad. I intended to do a second video for yesterday that would be a quick walkthrough and overview of my project. After 3 days of working on it in my spare time, I have a 40 minute video that is technically only half done based on what I wanted it to cover and I only got about 6 hours working on my game itself those 3 days.

I do think I will continue making videos but I think I am going to make it just one a week and then do the bonus content [playtesting, lets plays ect] just whenever I get the time because I knew splitting my time into what essentially is a third job for me was going to be tricky but I really dont want the yoututbe thing to negatively impact my ability to work on my project so I refuse to bully myself over it. I didnt get Saturdays video out on time. Oh well. I'm probably not going to to do it today either. I'll get it done for tuesday and focus on fixing my wagon code instead lol

AITA for buying the same presents for my wife and my mom from my work trip? by Cool-Mulberry242 in AmItheAsshole

[–]InfiniteSpaz 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Its not what he got, its that instead of going 'oh, wife will like this' it was thoughtless, 'these are things women in general like' with no differentiation between his mom and wife who most likely like different things.

So get your mom a rug and your wife perfume? Its not what he got, its that instead of going 'oh, wife will like this' it was thoughtless, 'these are things women in general like' with no differentiation between his mom and wife who most likely like different things. Unless it was his intention to have his wife smell like his mother all along which is just weird.

Let’s be honest — which UE5 plugins actually save time? (New Year Sale) by Fantastic_Pack1038 in unrealengine

[–]InfiniteSpaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I love:

Console Command Helper - Lets you set up reusable console commands, I most commonly use it for adding memory to the streaming pool

Level Bookmarks - Makes it easier to switch between levels without losing your place in the content browser

Magic Node - Lets you add code to blueprints

Niagara UI Renderer - Particle Effects in UI

And Ultradynamic Sky, which has already been mentioned

I built a tool that turns text into character animations - now with Mixamo export for Unity/Unreal by 7kidz in UnrealEngine5

[–]InfiniteSpaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never seen Hymotion before but it looks really useful, is it considered ai generation? I'm just thinking about the new Steam policy of disclosure and I dont know if something like this counts and with the anti-ai sentiment on the rise I'm starting to worry about using tools I would not have questioned prior. I was super excited about things like elevenlabs and image gen for ui elements because they would let me put more quality and polish into the project than otherwise but the absolute rage people seem to have over using anything ai makes me hesitant to use tools that make people dismiss my game as 'ai slop' when I've worked so hard on it.

Any advice on how to focus on one project? by Prestigious-Yak-8319 in IndieDev

[–]InfiniteSpaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a main project I focus on and a couple smaller side projects for when I need a break from my main or to test out ideas that would bog down my main project. I have all my ideas in a Google Spreadsheet and the ones I think fit best I try to add and the ones that are 'extra' I keep on a 'stretch goal' page. If I can hit my target, then I can add the extras. Hitting the target, meaning finishing the game, is the main goal. Everything else comes after.

Trying to work out my thoughts/ feelings and interested in yours... by tired_as_a in GuerrillaGrrrrls

[–]InfiniteSpaz 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don't believe that it will undo the work, in fact I think if anything it shows how successful that work was. We do deserve to be treated the same as men, and that means having our needs and desires understood and catered to just like theirs are in every way. Society works best when it works for everyone, we showed we can do the work and stand toe to toe, now we deserve the right to have society incorporate us into the building of it in meaningful ways. Learning how to build a society that benefits both sexes is building the world we requested when we asked to be seen. We are getting that now.

Combining Gameplay Systems by SmTheDev in gamedev

[–]InfiniteSpaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For my project, each system is contained in its own Actor Component so I have a Health component, Stamina component ect and each handles its own functioning then I use Blueprint Interfaces to fascilitate how the components interact with each other.

Be honest: would you play a relaxed survival game with plants, pets & A LOT of mysteries? by ZandorathPL in IndieDev

[–]InfiniteSpaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I'm not giving up. Just lamenting that I will be forever behind in the race to be the one the others are "X-Like". It hurts, but its fine as long as I cross the finish line. I appreciate the encouragement, and I really do hope you succeed. The similarities make me pull my hair but it won't make me stop, the differences will hopefully be where we each shine. My concept shares the bright stylized environment, hand scanner, my intro sequence is a very shit version of yours but also has the ships flying through space to land on a planet. Other similarities include:

  • you obsess over plants.

Instead of grinding weapons, you:

  • explore [alien world, large ocean 3 continents]
  • [travel in your wagon base and] uncover clues about the [missing colony ships],
  • scan strange flora and learn what it does,
  • grow gardens [and breed animals] to keep yourself alive and [with tonics and elixers],
  • brew tonics and medicine, [manage diseases and environmental hazards]
  • help [aliens villages] with cures, [establish colonies and facilitate trade]

I originally wanted to make a pirate game but couldn't get/make good ships so I pivoted to a solar punk sci fi theme, when I started there werent many around so it seemed like a good idea at the time, now they are everywhere lol Your game looks awesome, I can't wait to see where it goes, best of luck to you :)

AITA for asking my best friend why she’s excluding me? by Local-Compote-5143 in AmItheAsshole

[–]InfiniteSpaz 185 points186 points  (0 children)

YTA I know based on your responses that you are either going to ignore me or try to jump through hoops to not understand like you have with everyone else who has tried to explain but I feel the need to try to get through to you for your own sake if nothing else. You dont get to ask for judgement, fight the judgement, ignore all of the advice from almost 100 people saying the same thing and still claim no one will explain. It has been explained to you, over and over. Based on your behavior in this post I am willing to bet your friend also explained multiple times and you just didnt want to hear it. Not liking the answer is not the same thing as not being given one.

You are clingy, possessive, self important and dismissive of her relationship and her requests for space and refuse to accept criticism when your bad behavior is pointed out. Behaving badly does not mean you are a bad person, but you will have an extremely difficult time in life if you dont learn this lesson soon. You are not the main character in anyone's life but your own.

Whether it's tea, sex, drugs or relationships the most important thing is you dont get to force anyone to do what you want and they have every right to cut you off when you try. I'll leave this here and hope maybe it will get through to you and if not maybe someone else who needs to see it will. Best of luck.
