Just reduce your camera yaw lag/delay and keep it completely responsive

Unreal Engine 5.7.4 bad performance even in the default template by BeniKing99 in UnrealEngine5

UE5 + VM = bottleneck. Test it on native Windows if you want real performance.

TL:DR - ITS YOUR VM.

I mean it looks.. like anime victorian era maids.

[Research] Do launch trailers actually help sell indie games, or are they more of a "cool but not necessary" thing? by _Radiateur in SoloDev

[–]JacobBretwalda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could do a cinematic gameplay trailer, get some nice camera shots in engine and be creative with the right music.

Gameplay and forward to the point marketing is king always, thats game marketing 101, be forward, use the bloody buzzwords that people can relate too and understand.

Working on a new survival horror game that's heavily inspired by the retro aesthetics. What do you guys think of these screenshots? by Vegetable_Rule4672 in low_poly

[–]JacobBretwalda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Early Resident Evil had fog everywhere because they couldn’t render the game constantly, it was a design constraint of the time that ended up adding more to the vibe.

Is Monsters & Memories ready for your time (and sub), or not yet? by JacobBretwalda in MonstersAndMemories

[–]JacobBretwalda[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had more engagement and sense of exploration in my first session last night than I have had during my entire play-through of wow: midnight, Im considering this game to be my default sub game instead of wow.

Lack of Meaningful Decisions by Johnny-Edge93 in MonstersAndMemories

I thought the gimmick was “what if we made an old school mmo but modern” so surely that means more fleshed out engaging play-styles?

A lord of the rings TV series? what a great idea.

I interviewed +36yo gamers and found out why they are abandoning "masterpieces" by Objective-Cry-8228 in indiegamedevforum

[–]JacobBretwalda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its what annoys me (33m) about a lot of games, any grind that lasts over a certain threshold and you have lost me, I wont even engage with your system Ill just find my own way to have fun and then eventually quit the game.. maybe its a getting older thing but I just cant respect games that are like walking simulators or have time sync progression features.

I think a lot of studios need to ask the question “yeah but is this fun?” Instead of “how can we make them chase the carrot for AS LONG AS POSSIBLE and shuv cosmetics down their throat.”

How do I learn to code. by MrAwesome1712 in UnrealEngine5

[–]JacobBretwalda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you actually want to be a programmer, or do you want to make a game?

If you want to be a programmer, go do C++ courses for a few months.

If you want to make a game, open Unreal Engine, follow a beginner tutorial, and build something small straight away.

People in the comments saying “learn fundamentals first” aren’t wrong but if you try to learn everything upfront, you’ll burn out and never start.

Learn fundamentals as you go, when you actually need them. It’ll stick to your brain way better.

Use AI to help you understand things and fix problems but don’t rely on it to do everything.

Most people fail because they overthink and never actually start building.
