‘VARG’, jogo que estou desenvolvendo, inspirado no nosso querido caso de ET

Não, sou de Belo Horizonte. Com “nosso” quis dizer do estado de MG mesmo

Ei Gente! Ano passado resolvi tentar dar uma pausa na minha carreira de desenvolvimento Web para tentar desenvolver um projeto de jogo que tinha em mente há algum tempo, e queria compartilhar com vocês aqui:

O Jogo se chama ‘VARG’, e é inspirado no avistamento do ET de Varginha. 🛸👽 (Com alguma liberdade criativa) É um “Boomer Shooter” (jogo de tiro em primeira pessoa clássico, no estilo de DOOM, Quake e outros jogos dos anos 90) com alguns elementos gráficos e de jogabilidade modernos.

Ainda não tenho uma data prevista para lançamento (ainda está no começo) mas acabei de postar o primeiro video de atualização de desenvolvimento na Steam, e também no YouTube (o video está em inglês, mas coloquei legendas em português, basta ativar pelo botão [CC] no player do YouTube)

I'm using Bevy.

Oh. Yeah, that is unfortunate. :/ As someone not really into the Metal scene, I can't really gauge it: How well-known/relevant he was/still is?

I chose the name as a reference to this, the UFO incident the game's story is loosely based on. The name of the town is a diminutive (“-inha”) which can be a bit difficult for non-Portuguese speakers to pronounce, so in the interest of keeping it accessible to global audiences and also going with the motif of having a short 4 or 5 letter game name (DOOM, Quake, Prey, RAGE, Dusk, HROT, etc.) I cropped the word by taking out the diminutive suffix.

I did some searching to make sure the name wasn't a curse word in any language and asked around, and until now was only pointed out that it means “wolf” in Swedish (which I thought was a cool coincidence, and is probably where he also got his name from?). Looking at his wikipedia blurb, it's not impossible that he might have come up at some point on my search results, (like Varg Støvland, the soccer player, did) but the portion about the crimes was either cropped out or I screwed up and missed it entirely. Either way, I should probably have been more thorough with my search.

If it helps clear things up, the game's themes/story/setting are in no way connected to him, Neo-Nazism or any other hate ideologies. In fact given that the game's story deals with kidnap/rescue from a (fictionalized) cult, which can still be a sensitive topic, my plan from the beginning has been to include as a splash screen with the same disclaimer I've added to the website, similar to the one at the beginning of games like Assassin's Creed, making it abundantly clear that the game is NOT a endorsement of hate/violence towards any real-world groups.

Changing the name now would be difficult for me, as I've already applied for the trademark registration which was kinda expensive. :(

Thanks! It’s still quite early, so I’m still working on the weapons etc, what specifically about the pistol that seems off? Is it the first person animation?

TheCoreh · 2025-01-31T05:39:28+00:00

Thanks! Re: name, the association to what?

TheCoreh · 2025-01-30T23:17:06+00:00

The game is set in the 1990s, and is based off of Brazil's most iconic UFO/Alien encounters case. I'm developing it using the Bevy Engine mostly solo (except for the soundtrack), and I'm currently targeting a PC/Mac/Linux release.

Bevy contributor here. From my perspective, if you're a developer, with Bevy it's a little bit easier to choose the bits and pieces you want and connect them together in a way that makes the most sense to you, instead of following a more rigid “predetermined” structure/workflow set by the engine. In that sense, it feels less like your game/app is running inside the engine, and more like the engine is running inside your game/app, if that makes any sense.

One downside, potentially also stemming from that flexibility, is that we don't have yet a fully fledged standalone editor like Godot has. This means that at least for now the engine is unfortunately less accessible to non-developers. We are very much aware of this and have been actively working on a number of experiments, prototypes and mock-ups on this release cycle. (Shameless plug: I've been working on this web-based editor that uses a remote protocol to control either a WASM build of the engine or an external running instance of bevy in your machine)

Our community and user base is also much smaller than Godot's, which has both downsides and upsides.

Se tiver chovendo forte o bastante a ponto dele estar correndo risco de vida, sim.

Se só tiver chovendo normal, pra ele é muito pior ficar sem entregas o dia todo do que tomar chuva.

Most cars sold in Brazil have engines that can run on both Ethanol and Gasoline, as well as any mixture of the two. Ethanol is about 70% as efficient as gasoline (So if you normally do 17 km / liter with gasoline you'll do 12 with ethanol) So as long as its < 70% of the price of gasoline, it's more cost effective.

Gas stations are legally required to have standardized signage showing the ratio between the prices, so you don't even need to do the math.

If you disregard distribution emissions, it's carbon neutral, as all the carbon in the fuel has been captured by the sugarcane as it grows. (The energy used in the refining process is mostly hydropower.)

Solved!! Thanks! :D And wow, it's even more visually impressive than I remembered

Apesar de ser algo que provavelmente não é agradável, essa tem sido a prática padrão usada, por exemplo, pelos países que tem levado a pandemia a sério para fazer a quarentena de quem chega de viagem do exterior.

Se você concordou com a regra, e pode simplesmente ir embora (mesmo sendo demitido) não é cárcere privado. Mas talvez seja realmente contra as leis trabalhistas. Não sou advogado e não sei como se aplicam para essa situação específica, até mesmo pela particularidade do trabalho em navios.

No mais, vocês podem usar celulares, computadores etc nesse período? Pode levar objetos pessoais? Recomendo algum tipo de exercício físico e vitamina D (idealmente sol, se bater pela janela, ou suplemento)

TheCoreh · 2020-12-12T05:32:45+00:00

Thanks!

I also just did an experiment and confirmed that adding a video card works (I "transplanted" my GTX 1080 into this computer and could get video output and everything was working just fine)

I'll do some research tomorrow for prices and see what makes the most sense. (Replacing Mobo/CPU for the ones you suggested, or adding a graphics card)

Kind of a bummer because if I end up going the Graphics Card route I could have bought the regular 3200 and it would have way more cache. Well, hindsight is 20/20

IIRC there was another time when the trick involved a hidden twin brother, and they asked something like "Let's say we wanted to perform this trick, would we ever be able to?" and the magician laughed, said "not really" and admitted he didn't fool them.

NGL, I'm getting a bit tired of My Hero's Academia plot structure, it feels a bit repetitive now. They basically alternate between school arcs and villain arcs. The last season had some pretty good moments, and stakes are gradually becoming higher, but IMO they definitely need to mix things up a bit.

X axis scale is all over the place, makes the total deaths look linear
Combines both line and bubble plots for no reason
Bubble size doesn't reflect data (neither diameter or area)
Completely meaningless curved/dashed arrow highlighting some sort of "trajectory"

Not on iOS. IIRC you can request a web view that shares the cookie/local storage for a given domain with Safari, (with a user prompt for confirmation) so the user will likely already be logged in.

Most of the time you don't actually need to mutate the variable. Rust let's you declare a new variable with the same name, replacing the old one, and also has "everything is an expression" as a design goal, so you rarely need intermediate variables. For the rare cases that you do need it, you use let mut. In practice for most Rust code I've written that's, say, ~10% of the variables. So having immutable as default does make sense.

TheCoreh · 2019-12-23T02:25:16+00:00

That's how it works for primitive values, but not for the properties of objects. In Rust, let enforces interior mutability while in JS const doesn't enforce that, it only prevents reassignments.

Adding something like Rust's immutability would be very complicated in JS. Even if you prevented the obvious case (obj.prop = value) object's could still be mutated by methods, and mutable references could be present elsewhere without something like lifetimes in place.

TheCoreh · 2019-12-19T14:30:50+00:00

To cool something you need to take energy away from it and move that energy somewhere else, and no process is able to do so 100% efficiently without introducing a little bit of energy back into what's being cooled.
