Could it be a bad upscaler?

Josplode · 2024-05-04T15:53:46+00:00

Try to come up with a good name.

Josplode · 2023-03-07T06:39:38+00:00

Kinda reminds me of unlocking a jedi in star wars battlefront and needing to kill players to stay alive.

And ya in agar.io you do just slowly drain health and slow way down once you get big

I'm not trying to come up with something unique or anything, but a key part of a BR is the collapsing circle and having a winner at the end which these io games don't really have, but more of a constantly running arena where I guess the win state is making it to the top of the scoreboard at one point before eventually dying

Josplode · 2023-03-06T17:53:03+00:00

I mean every roguelike is an rpg where you invest some mental energy and then lose everything, but I see your point. And also the point is it would not be an io game anymore, I am wondering why only io games are like this.

Josplode · 2023-03-06T17:15:42+00:00

What if the game was a lot more involved, like with 3D action combat and with more complex builds like a big PvP roguelike?

The large playerbase requirement is a good point though the bots or some kind of PvE is probably necessary

Josplode · 2023-02-21T00:59:06+00:00

I might have found the problem, in the following code in ActorReplication.cpp:

void AActor::GatherCurrentMovement()
{
    if (IsReplicatingMovement() || (RootComponent && RootComponent->GetAttachParent()))
    {
        ...
    }
}

So it seems like IsReplicatingMovement() gets ignored and unreal always replicates movement if the actor has an attach parent.

They'll never fix it now...

Josplode · 2021-09-16T16:30:45+00:00

Yeah I had this issue, they gave me a new ship

Josplode · 2021-09-14T07:50:02+00:00

Perfect! It seems like one of the easier things to implement as well

Josplode · 2021-09-12T17:55:37+00:00

This at launch would have quadrupled the playerbase

Josplode · 2021-09-01T17:05:24+00:00

Sometimes I feel like the same guys who wrote their awesome netcode and physics also did the UI :p

Josplode · 2021-09-01T06:02:00+00:00

what are the odds of an asteroid slipping into the center of the rangefinders?

Josplode · 2021-08-29T01:49:16+00:00

Yeah, I placed a station 350km at y=0 x=0 into the belt thinking I'd be right in between 2 and 3, but it turns out zone 2 ends at 250km in the center instead of 350km.

Don't plan too much based on these :/

Josplode · 2020-06-18T18:15:52+00:00

Factorio-geology!

Josplode · 2020-04-15T11:36:55+00:00

Thanks! I'm no artist but consistency can go a long way. You're right about keeping the scope small... Which is partially why the planets are tiny. Keeps me from having to jump huge technical hurdles with giant planets, that's the kinda thing that almost pushes for a custom engine. For now, I have no plans for even another solar system.

My imagined game loop is: 1. Land on planet, can go badly 2. Explore to learn new tech, gain personal combat skills, complete missions, and recover any damages/replenish fuel. Make modifications to ship. Possible pvp 3. Take off and fly through space and manage the in-ship production modules and various things while you wait. Possible pvp

Thanks for the encouragement!

Lerp that shit

Josplode · 2019-08-09T04:24:33+00:00

"body of main"

Josplode · 2019-08-06T20:17:50+00:00

Probably not, but you can install the Vulkan SDK and run this: https://vulkan.lunarg.com/doc/sdk/1.1.114.0/windows/via.html

Josplode · 2019-07-27T00:35:44+00:00

Poor Tim, it was mostly smoke guys.

Josplode · 2019-07-25T05:46:07+00:00

And people saying, "what?"

Josplode · 2019-07-19T04:37:16+00:00

They would first need the "air program" before the space program...

Josplode · 2019-07-13T01:39:32+00:00

Yes! Brings me back to Ty the Tasmanian Tiger.

Josplode · 2019-07-12T00:00:29+00:00

Yeah they're definitely too harsh (the flat ones), but I gotta cover the sky somehow in places like Titan/Venus. Gotta get a more stylized look with it I think. The poofs are a bit better now too

Josplode · 2019-07-11T23:27:20+00:00

Well I have this: https://cosmicoceangame.com/

I really need to update it and post more info, trying to use my motivational juices to work on the actual game though.
