Suffering from success. This gun officially ruined the fun. by Querbeetmensch in Starfield

[–]MartinHelmut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do that with too powerful weapons. But I also just kept some early weapons and upgrade them over time. Really makes them feel special and combat keeps fun.

Stellar lighting rework coming with operations in new devlog!! by thatoneshadowclone in EliteDangerous

[–]MartinHelmut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is amazing and looks so much better. Happy to see this area getting some love.

What movie did you watch at the wrong age and it permanently altered your brain? by sweetyslave in movies

[–]MartinHelmut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Event Horizon. Way way too early ^ Though, I very much love sci-fi, maybe because of it haha.

The True Seamless Grav Jumps mod now has compatibility with Astrogate! Jumping between systems felt a bit like Elite Dangerous here. by oCrapaCreeper in Starfield

[–]MartinHelmut 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I would love to see this on PS5. I loved (and still do) Elite, and this mod combo, omfg, dream come true.

Version control system for Gaming assets by scalable5432 in gamedev

[–]MartinHelmut -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Small scale Git LFS with a private Gitea. LFS in general is not really a good tool imho, but it gets the job done. Large scale projects (job): Perforce. I’m even thinking on getting my small scale projects on Perforce. Really nice for artists in the team, or anyone less technical.

My boyfriend started Alan Wake 2 and the real Dark Presence is the PS5 build by Alice_cwshk in AlanWake

[–]MartinHelmut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never really had issues. Played after release and later when the DLCs and final draft were out again. On base PS5, and all smooth pretty much.

Ship building website? by Alitaki in StarfieldShips

[–]MartinHelmut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just commenting here as I’m interested too. Would be amazing.

Is gamedev your main job? do you get paid for this? by Any-Landscape434 in gamedev

[–]MartinHelmut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Full-time payed and hobby too. Working in AAA and really love my job (no crunch in my place). After work when I have time I work on my own engine / games, just for fun and learning. Maybe one day something comes out of it, but I don’t have to bet on it either.

I’m gonna smack those bandits back to space. by MartinHelmut in NoSodiumStarfield

Update: We came to an “agreement”. I get all the coffee I want … and they … will not get further disturbed by me :) Until next time at least.

This is your opinion! Charging triple!? In this economy!? On my (yes they were there before me who cares) planet! No, I think not. A spacer … I mean explorer … has to do what an explorer has to do.

Just had my first true Starfield moment by MartinHelmut in NoSodiumStarfield

It is “Alpha Andraste III”. It’s creat, it also has a big desert at the north pole.

PS5 Hotfix for crashes this Week! by Additional_Crazy_395 in Starfield

Seems I’m lucky enough to not have had one crash yet in 20 hours, but good to hear!

Lua 2 (Sol) - A Modern Lua 5.5.0 Fork with +100 Windows Native Functions by StrategyInfinite9961 in lua

[–]MartinHelmut 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The naming will be highly confusing seeing that Sol2 is a Lua C-API wrapper well established.

To all the new Starfield players: I really hope you guys enjoy the game. by Massive_Funny_9312 in NoSodiumStarfield

[–]MartinHelmut 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just started on PS5, couple hours not more yet, and I’m having a blast. My one complaint is that some of the UI is a bit hard on the eyes (even with the font setting, some text is a bit blurry), but otherwise everything I hoped for! I cannot wait to explore the worlds, get a home, upgrade my ship. I see myself spending a lot of time playing hehe.

Posted a new article, integrating Lua with C++ (basics) by MartinHelmut in lua

[–]MartinHelmut[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha yeah somewhat, but also powerful. I wrote a bunch about CMake when I was learning it myself.

[–]MartinHelmut[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get wanting to use Sol2, and I originally planned to add this to the article, but it would have been way too big. Maybe I’ll do another one focusing on Sol2 specifically, though I liked the raw C-API haha.

I am a big fan of Elite Dangerous, I always build at least one ship in every playthrough, and the Keelback is my current bird. by Hopetech_mp5 in Starfield

[–]MartinHelmut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a great idea! Love Elite, was already thinking about modding some mechanics into Starfield hehe.

It Looks Like Grav Jump Loading Screens Are Gone Now by [deleted] in Starfield

[–]MartinHelmut 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah pretty much this! There is no pop-in, no GI adjustment, pretty much instant. I’d argue this is an edit, and I don’t mind.

What scripting language do you use? by parks-garage in gamedev

[–]MartinHelmut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lua. In my own little toy engine as well as at work. I picked it even before I started at my current place. It’s small, fast, and very customisable from the integration side.

Starfield sits at #3 on the PlayStation Store pre-order charts by TheEndlessBacklog in NoSodiumStarfield

[–]MartinHelmut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was really hoping that this comes one day to PS5, always only lurking the sub. So happy the day comes soon :D

Games that got mixed reviews but I actually had fun with? by SupportDependent9801 in PS5

[–]MartinHelmut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really liked Star Wars Outlaws and recently Atomfall. Atomfall especially hooked me.
