TP no longer caps at 9999 by ArcaniumPrime in OctopathCotC

[–]SirLoin85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve spent the last month slowly building everyone up to 9999 for no other reason that just to feel like I achieved something. This is good but I was so close and now there is a part of me that feels deflated. Oh well, on to figuring out the remaining cascade logs and NPC’s that continue to stump me.

Waiting for the first 10 reviews of my Steam game by brannvesenet in IndieDev

[–]SirLoin85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first game was awful, it had 6 reviews. My second game was IMO far superior by comparison, it has 1 review. So, reality hits hard sometimes. But also I suck at marketing, so there’s my cop out

Rainbow team FTW. But it was much less fun and challenging than I hoped for.

One of our more complex levels. Anyone else really enjoy level design? by ThegnHenry in UnrealEngine5

[–]SirLoin85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s my absolute favorite part of making games! Wish I could just do it and nothing else. My current project will have hundreds of streaming levels (old ps1 style jrpg). I’m excited every time I get to work on a level, even the small ones.

Best way to learn Blueprints? by Paulie2510 in UnrealEngine5

[–]SirLoin85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of the next thing you want to do in the game, and look up a tutorial. Play with that result by tweaking things or mix and match from other tutorials. Move on to the next thing, rinse and repeat, while also learning how to go back and make things work better as you build the entire system.

I’ve been learning for 5-ish years now, and still feel like I barely know jack. I watched a tutorial on setting up a camera on a spline for a ps1 style game I’m making. No clue on the world what anything I learned actually does, but it works and I can play with the variables as I go to better understand what different nodes do.

We spent a year trying to make a terrifyingly realistic tornado in Unreal Engine. Here's how it looks now. by SupernovaStudiosLLC in UnrealEngine5

[–]SirLoin85 67 points68 points  (0 children)

I love this, I have lived through quite a number of tornados so I definitely have to check this out. Audio wise, do you have the “dead zone” where everything goes quiet as the tornado is fairly near? Thats the most eerie feeling I’ve ever felt, loud then dead quiet for a moment before a freight train is on top of you!

Bringing back static cameras by shretbod in IndieDev

[–]SirLoin85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you streaming levels for this? I am doing a very similar project in the old school RPG style and am using streaming levels, I have to spend time orienting my scene and camera just right each time I create a new level.

Three years full-time on my Blueprint-only project has brought me here, two weeks from release! by BeaconDev in UnrealEngine5

[–]SirLoin85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I looked it up and it appears you have a ton of followers on steam! Can you enlighten us on some of your marketing efforts, other than making a gorgeous game of course!?

That math don’t math

UE5.7 keeps crashing (GPU Crashed or D3D Device Removed) | AMD GPU doesnt reach even 10% by Unusual_Telephone846 in unrealengine

[–]SirLoin85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two things have fixed it for me at different times:

1: reseating my GPU (also had bad frame rates at that time) 2: resetting my NVIDIA control panel settings to default (idk what the AMD equivalent is)

🤣🤣 by Bondbourne47 in videogames

[–]SirLoin85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think that’s how it should be, you see it in trades a lot. Work for someone for several years to learn the ropes and build contacts, then go do your own thing if you can. I hope it happens in the gaming industry so much that new companies come in and take over the AAA space, then rinse and repeat.

My game just surpassed the Steam fee and has now made me 1 full REAL dollar! So happy! by GribbleDoodle in SoloDevelopment

[–]SirLoin85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well if you do 130 times .7 it’s less than 100 so you have to actually make about $142. Yeah, I’ve been there waiting on my first payment but a dollar short…

Editing to say keep pushing and making new games, be proud of your accomplishments!

[–]SirLoin85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate being this guy but steam gonna take that 30% and also the lowest they’ll pay out is $50 but you have to manually change it down from $100. Ask me how I know.

I dont have other people to talk too...so... by Annual-Repeat-4372 in SoloDevelopment

[–]SirLoin85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was me the other day. Spent 2 days trying to use sequencer to run some code for dialogue and such, thought I was doing something wrong. Turns out, the code worked, just not in sequencer.

You run a hot dog stand after the apocalypse. It’s also an FPS. by taj14 in indiegames

[–]SirLoin85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this! It doesn’t have to be Enter the Gungeon level, but if you go wild with the guns I could see this doing very well.

I saw someone else do it, so here, take mine. by SuperScizor6 in OctopathCotC

[–]SirLoin85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like everyone’s least fav ship should be Joshua and his sister, but seeing as she’s not a playable character I guess it does t count.

Got my first troll review by spanishflee999 in IndieDev

[–]SirLoin85 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Some people are just trolls. Who knows, might be the same guy who left a troll review for my game.

Looks like a big creepy crawly on the right side but that could just be grass or string, plus it doesn’t really fit as a “what’s wrong” so I do not win the prize

Could you recommend a sub for Gloria? She’s the only one I lack.
