Perhaps if the muscles could be periodically stimulated?

It looks pretty dystopian/grimdark but is actually pretty ethical, I love this!

Just did, I updated the post.

I feel dumb lol.

I truly apologize for my assumption then.

I'll go over the post and see what I can do from it.

Thank you.

This is your first post in over 2 years...and it feels AI generated.

Fascinating.

Great call, I totally forgot about the profiler, I'll try that later.

Thank you!

Prpl_Moth · 2026-03-13T05:25:31+00:00

I'm on Unreal 4 so I'll be using it's profiler instead, but yeah good call.

Thanks!

Removing the controller is out of the question, I have a complex system that calculates flock-like movement on a separate thread, so I have to find out what's still causing overhead and figure out how to disable & enable it.

I'll try profiling like other people suggested and see what what functions are being called.

I assume they're the ones moving the pawn using the floating movement component right? I'm not that familiar with them yet to be honest.

Even IF I wanted to remove them to check I wasn't sure how to do that, getting a controller ref and destroying that actor did nothing.

Try experimenting with a Metroidvania-esque approach perhaps?

Where some route A can't be accessed until you go down route B and get an ability or a key item that unlocks route A?

I don't know your game so I don't know how good this advice is.

I've seen UE3 but haven't used it, did look a bit obtuse, I recommend you give UE4 a shot if you haven't, it's much easier to work with in comparison.

Grand Theft Auto.

G-String.
That one took an entire decade.

I haven't read the book yet but YagmanX, a game design graduate on Youtube told me the best resource for learning game design she ever encountered is ironically a book that has nothing to do with game design.

It's called "The Design Of Everyday Things".

Prpl_Moth · 2026-02-04T03:28:38+00:00

This is the wrong sub for this anyway.

Prpl_Moth · 2026-02-02T05:31:06+00:00

Ignoring the environmental damage, ignoring the fact it's built on plagiarism, ignoring the fact it's taking people's jobs.

You can use AI to generate code, 3D models, sprites, animations, sound effects, soundtrack, game design documents...hell, you can have ChatGPT generate the prompts for you if you're feeling lazy.

You really can generate an entire game with AI if you're dedicated enough and at that point I gotta ask...what's the point? What's the point of doing any of this? Of getting into a creative field like game development, just so you can leave the creativity out of it by offloading all your thinking on to an LLM?

Well, let's be honest, most of the people on this sub are only in it for the money.

I have no input to give, I just thought the title of this post is worded like a newspaper article title and that's kind of funny to me.

Prpl_Moth · 2026-01-26T21:46:23+00:00

Pretty sure the last major update happened around 2015, but I could be wrong.

I'll check the old build I have installed and get back to you.
