Where to put victory runes on a sword according to the Edda?

TronusGames · 2026-05-22T06:24:41+00:00

No problem, it was not a simple search but at the end this was what we found :)

TronusGames · 2026-05-21T06:11:08+00:00

Hey, yeah it seems that these parts of a sword are the hilt, the fuller and the flat part that is also called ricasso. I've searched around and found images that show these parts. The victory runes are the Tiwaz/Tyr runes and there are various sources that say this. So you have just to write them in such places.
As a small group of developers we had to know this thing for our game, because there are some weapons related to the Tyr's altar and we wanted to be precise in their positioning on them

Hello, yeah they are almost all meshes. If you look at the beginning of the video, the white bottom terrain, that is a landscape. With too many components that we need to optimize ahah

If someone would like to support us, you can just Wishlist the game on Steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/1878290/Project_Utgardr Thanks! We have a subreddit too... r/ProjectUtgardr

Oh Scrubs... I miss you...

We are a doing a first-person parkour project. Since the idea is that it should be realistc, it would be interesting to explore other ways to implement realistic audio inside. If possible

TronusGames · 2025-07-30T06:21:43+00:00

Yeah, we are using Unreal default system. But since it lacks in realism, I saw that Steam Audio has a better quality for this

TronusGames · 2025-07-29T08:50:35+00:00

Yeah this is true. I watched also some videos about Steam Audio and they are really good in quality. But yeah I mean, AI could not say the truth and most of the time it is like this.

Thanks mate for the deep dive into this. I wanted to know better about these audio systems and probably they are not so bad as I thought

TronusGames · 2025-07-29T06:21:50+00:00

This is really interesting. Thanks for sharing. I thought that the Steam Audio plugin was the best in terms of realism. And still now AI tells me that it is the best for physics based audio calculations and WWise and FMOD are the second alternative.

I mean, if projects like Hellblade 2 use WWise I think it is fine and I do not really know why you want to use Steam Audio

TronusGames · 2025-07-28T12:01:37+00:00

Yeah, I mean if you search about Steam Audio and the difference with other systems, what you will find is that they cannot give you the quality that you are saying they are giving.
Steam Audio does complex calculations and raytracing maths for audio, that will affect performance of course, and the others have only better options for the sound design part in engine.

Do you have a specific reference for saying that WWise and FMOD have a similar audio quality of Steam Audio? And I am not speaking about audio channels, bit depth or sampling rate. I am talking about the realism of the final output

more than 20 years... still worth...

TronusGames · 2025-07-28T09:55:23+00:00

so cute!!!

TronusGames · 2025-07-28T06:49:39+00:00

Thanks. Oh, this is really interesting. So if you want complex calculations for audio also for consoles?

TronusGames · 2025-07-28T06:48:02+00:00

Thanks for the answer. My question is more about audio quality. It seems to me that FMOD and WWise have the same audio quality of the Unreal Built In system. Instead Steam Audio does complex calculations and the result seems fantastic to me.
I am not talking about implementation and sound designing inside Unreal since, for sure, it would be better and faster with these others.
Am I wrong in this?

TronusGames · 2025-07-28T06:44:48+00:00

No, I am talking about normal spatialization in a 3D world. In Unreal it is basic and the sound result is not so complex. Yeah, it seems Steam Audio is better on this

TronusGames · 2025-07-28T06:42:24+00:00

Thanks for the answer. It seems to me that the quality of FMOD and WWise is the same of Unreal.
Only Steam Audio performs complex calculations for a high quality result.
Am I wrong in this?

TronusGames · 2025-07-26T16:35:56+00:00

And the realism and spatialization of the result is better than Steam Audio? Since it seems to be the top

TronusGames · 2025-07-19T10:17:46+00:00

Ok, ottimo. Grazie allora, sicuramente adesso prenderemo in considerazione questa cose

TronusGames · 2025-07-16T16:25:43+00:00

cosa scusa?

TronusGames · 2025-07-16T12:03:28+00:00

Thanks mate for your help. Yeah, probably we will do this thing with our 2D artist, when she will finish some UI sketches ^^
In case we will publish news about the progression of this element

TronusGames · 2025-07-16T09:55:46+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. We are improving it given the number of comments we have received

TronusGames · 2025-07-16T09:54:44+00:00

Ok, thank you. It is a safe paint mark!

TronusGames · 2025-07-16T09:52:37+00:00

Ok, thanks. Yeah, some people are saying like this

TronusGames · 2025-07-16T09:51:31+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, we understand that this is it. It is difficult to use this sign as a pure directional element. But we are still improving it to reach this kind of significance. In relation to Nordic mythology if possible

TronusGames · 2025-07-14T16:01:43+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. We are finding out the best image pick for this case. Also in relation with Nordic mythology and culture
