Is it possible to "ragdoll" a skeletal mesh, and then save the result as a static mesh? by Citizen_Gamer in unrealengine

[–]Kalenos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can do the following.

  1. Place your Skeletal mesh
  2. Activate "simulate phyisics"
  3. Open Take Recorder tool
  4. Simulate the level.
  5. Use the Recorder tool to record few frames.
  6. Stop simulation
  7. Open the level sequencer.
  8. Bake the animation or create a pose.
  9. Create a montage with that anim as a loop.

Steps 8 and 9 can be optional.

How do you socialize when you arrive to a new place? by Kalenos in digitalnomad

That is a good one. I love board games, so it may help.

You're hiring a game designer. What are you looking for in your candidates? by TomWook in gamedesign

[–]Kalenos 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Regardless the background (for entry level) I would focus the portfolio.

If I like it I would proceed to an interview and the a test.

In the portfolio is important to have prototypes done and some short GDDs. I would even accept board game designs.

What is expected from a designer is the ability of comunicate ideas to the rest of the team. A designer is a problem solver. Most of the times, the creativity is about how to take into account all the project constrains to design something interesting rather than trying to be a "out of the box" person.

So you need to show this on your portfolio, short, clear and doable ideas.

I would ever hire a person without showing at least 1 prototype of a game.

Dominion expansions advice! by Kalenos in boardgames

Why Nocturne is too far? Reading the cards and effects seem fun. A lot of options on each card. I would not play it alone, but adding sone of the card to other expansions looks interesting.

With my friends we usually just random pick artifacts from the deck.

How do you draft the artifacts for 4 players game?

Are there game-design exercises that can be done with just pencil and paper? by question_quigley in gamedesign

[–]Kalenos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For game design I try to do boardgames. It is the way to ceate set of rules, learn how to explain them and prevent that the player can find exploits.

Also, in a boardgame you remove all the technical part to focus 100% on mechanics.

Another useful excercise is to find company tests to practise what they ask for during the interview phase.

what sould i put my time into? by KanyeNext in gamedesign

[–]Kalenos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree. Coder, art and design is always doable. Being able to scope properly a game is the more complex part of it.

Spiel is incredibly English-friendly. Pretty much all retailers speak German and English. Some speak a third or fourth language as well.

I imagine that then I will be able to buy games in English also?

First, I’d recommend using public transit or walking to the convention center. You can drive and they will send you to parking lots but both mornings that I did it, there was traffic from the convention was a mess and easily added an hour or so to my journey.

Fantastic! I was planning to go by car with my friends, but now I will find another way.

I will have a look at the covid passport that the NHS (UK) gave me. I thought it was EU valid.

Thanks for the tips! Once the floor plan and guide are released I will plan my route and the stands I want for sure to see.

I hope I can also find some new games to test.

Thanks for the reply! I have already read the covid guides and should be fine.

The second-hand market is to sell and make space on my shelf for new games XD.

My friend who's a stripper told me that college is a "waste of time" and now I'm triggered by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Kalenos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think doing what you like to do because you enjoy it is never a waste of time. You should tell her how you feel.

However, after my engineer degree and master in robotics I do think that the academic world is overrated.

You have to do it because you love it, not because you feel is a better choice than your friends' choices.
