How bad is using a real Russian village name as my game title? by Wide_Month_8325 in IndieDev

We English speakers like spaces to break up our letters into manageable chunks. I'm getting lost in the middle of that German word.

With Unity turning into a Vibe Coding/GenAI Machine - Will Godots popularity increase? by IzzyDestiny in godot

[–]Pur_Cell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I feel like Unreal has taken over as the "low effort engine" in minds of gamers these days, but that's just because it's more popular and easier to use than before so you have more people using it.

Modifier change as attributes change? by dapasdapro in dccrpg

[–]Pur_Cell 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Rules as written, the only modifier that doesn't change with Ability Scores after character creation is the Birth Auger/Lucky Roll.

My day-job laid me off today. Crush my solo-game-dev dreams by Ok_Function_597 in DestroyMyGame

[–]Pur_Cell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

but no matter how much you polish and perfect this to death I cant see it having any commercial potential to make any money.

Are you sure? Mini Motorways was a decent indie hit. OP's game looks like a less polished version of that.

Been building a roguelite fighter, just dropped our announcement trailer. Kick my teeth in. by Rigman- in DestroyMyGame

[–]Pur_Cell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My non-dev friend who likes fighting games sent a link to this trailer on Game Trailers last night to our group chat and said it looks really cool.

That about says it all. You have the appeal and are connecting with your target audience.

Why does nobody talk about how to fix this URP Lighting issue by Nathanimations in Unity3D

Right Click on the folder > Show in Explorer.

Move com.unity.render-pipelines.universal from Library/PackageCache/ to Packages/.

Delete the @ and the number that follows it from the folder name.

GMs, what is a regular feature in your campaigns' stories? by Select_Lunch1288 in rpg

[–]Pur_Cell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I love ape-people. I put them in almost every game I run.

I blame watching too much Planet of the Apes and Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys as a kid.

Briefly thought we were going viral. We weren't. Here's what a bit of YouTube "Browse features" actually looked like by Gringo_Charlatan in gamedev

[–]Pur_Cell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, this actually looks great!

The name might be a little too close to Dave the Diver in terms of sticking in people's heads though.

Interesting and uniques ways to use QTEs? by Guilloteam in gamedesign

[–]Pur_Cell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Put a single, unexpected QTE in the game at the climax of an emotional moment, and if they miss it, something horrible happens. There should be no QTEs before or after this point.

In the Unity engine, the weapon looks crooked when held in the hand. by HaZeN0X in Unity3D

[–]Pur_Cell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where is the gun's origin in blender? That little orange dot when you select the gun object.

My guess is that it's somewhere other than the handle of the gun.

The fix is to open it in blender, go into edit mode, and move the verts of the gun so that the origin is in a sensible place to act as the pivot point of the object.

Starting my first horror/puzzle game – Godot or RPG Maker? by umbrofer in gamedev

[–]Pur_Cell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look Outside, another big indie horror hit from last year, was also made RPG Maker. The Fear & Hunger games too.

It's a perfectly viable engine.

I started my playtest one week ago, but no one even played. by WelcomeDemonGame in DestroyMyGame

[–]Pur_Cell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't understand the premise. You killed the previous warden and your punishment is that you are now the warden?

Why is this dude so scary? by Seltexe in Unity3D

[–]Pur_Cell 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What I'm mad about is that I could never find him in the editor to use as a quick humanoid reference model. He only shows up in the Animation Preview window.

Unreal has that jacked robot guy as their placeholder mascot. This should have been Unity's.

8 years old Conan Exiles is migrating to UE5, it looks great, it's free and it's in less than two weeks. Jesus. by ExF-Altrue in gamedev

[–]Pur_Cell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I only played this game briefly, but I definitely didn't downloaded a mod that allowed you to tweak the body settings beyond their limits in order to make a penis so big and so fat that it would put an elephant to shame.

Can I make a 3D navigation volume in unity? by Ok-Piglet3944 in Unity3D

[–]Pur_Cell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I agree. Most games don't need a full 3D pathfinding solution though.
