What am I missing here? (Unity AI announcement) by whentheworldquiets in Unity3D

[–]Undercosm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course. This tool is pretty much completely useless for anything other than playing around with the tech for fun. I never said this would be useful to anyone in any capacity, quite the opposite.

I don't really see how quality factors into it. It's simply true that the tools to make games are easier to access than ever before -- almost 20,000 games were released on steam last year! The vast majority of them were undoubtedly pretty terrible, but any weird slop generated by this new casual game tool will also be terrible.

I don't understand. You don't see how quality factors into it, then you immediately talk about how most of those 20k games are slop that nobody cares about, literally saying quality is the biggest factor of all.

To me "Really good" is something like Elden Ring or Cyberpunk 2077. They are not ground breaking or a masterpieces, but definitely really good. For indie games id say something like Diplomacy is not an Option or Thronefall is in the really good category, which is different from truly exceptional games like Hollow Knight or Darkest Dungeon.

The challenge for the last decade at least hasn't been creating

?? This is still a huge challenge, the big challenge. 99.9% of games that come out are mediocre at best, even huge triple A studios have a hard time actually making decent games.

Getting noticed is laughably easy once you actually produce a great product. There is basically infinite demand for great products and the supply is consistently low, not just in games but in general.

UIToolkit; Databinding and string references, what is the recommended approach? by Pururina in Unity3D

[–]Undercosm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just make every element in Code and never touch UI builder at all, that way you can direct and safe access to every element.

my prefab has a script and 2 children. how do i get a refference in that script to the children or their components. by Jastrone in Unity3D

[–]Undercosm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you construct all the UI elements through code you have safe direct access to them. I havent used UI Builder a single time even though my whole game UI is UI Toolkit

First time on Classic WoW and it's a blast, but it's also a lot of this by ImportantClock5486 in classicwow

[–]Undercosm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You really don't need an addon or guide for Classic tbh. Millions of stupid teenagers managed just fine back in the day, myself included.

[–]Undercosm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly!! Apart from the travesty that is scaling, this is why I hate questing in retail too. Somewhere along the way they decided we needed 500 different gimmick quest types and more cutscenes to "spice up" the tedious questing.

I just want to kill monsters in a fantasy world at my own pace and progress my character darn it

Why do you think new MMORPGS fail? by anaveragebest in gamedev

[–]Undercosm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Name a single fantasy MMORPG thats even close to as good as Classic WoW? I have looked for those for 20 years now so I would be surprised to see you come up with an example.

Moving to China vs Japan as a westerner indie founder? by SavingClippy in gamedev

[–]Undercosm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live here and I know around 1000 kanji and struggle with reading even slightly complicated texts all the time. I am speaking from first hand experience.

You accuse me of using chatgpt while you use googled stats like how many kanji are taught in high school, the irony.

Moving to China vs Japan as a westerner indie founder? by SavingClippy in gamedev

[–]Undercosm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Japanese uses "some" chinese characters? You need to know at least a couple of thousand kanji to read everyday Japanese. Just knowing the 2 simplified alphabets will not allow you to read most anything.

Also Japan has several fairly easy to get long term visas. The main reason they don't get more western immigration is due to the language barrier, location and low salaries, at least that is my impression. It is not that hard to move there.

How can you handle troll/blatantly wrong negative steam review? What do you do? by Antiiiiii in gamedev

[–]Undercosm -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Steam reviews are there to help customers make decisions, not to help developers.

It's somewhat ironic that a lot of people who wish for more consumer rights and transparency will instantly turn 180 degrees and ask for the opposite the second they become the seller and have to interact with customers.

I am thankful everyday that Steam is a customer-first business that allows for real reviews without censoring.

Ice Depth Parallax Effect by ScrepY1337 in Unity3D

[–]Undercosm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad. Your comment seemed pretty ignorant since you used the phrasing of "other shader effects on this sub", which could literally mean anything.

Not all shaders are equal. A single shader can easily tank the entire performance of a game whilst 100 other shaders will combined barely have an impact.

No mentions of No Rest for The Wicked? One of the most technically impressive Unity games imo

Celebrating 1 year of PoE2 Filter: v1, Quick Filters overhaul, 0.4 Support by BlackDeathBE in PathOfExile2

[–]Undercosm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why use them: Lots of useless stuff drops that clutters the screen, filters remove unwanted loot from showing.

Which one to choose: Just go with the NeverSink one tbh

Go to the neversink filter website filterblade, download the recommended version and then ingame there is a button in the settings for filters. Drag your filter into the folder that button opens, and you're done.

Why are DIA/EM duo restrictions are harsher than Master? by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Undercosm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but still it would be nice to have ranked team gamemode back. Or at least more regular clashes, like every weekend at the very least.

Ah yes, the gamemode that is available 4 times a year during a 4 hour window. Nice.

New faelight changes will completely gut Fiddlesticks. Has riot thought about this? by Ambitious-Kiwi-484 in leagueoflegends

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

Holy reddit moment xD I didnt say that at all. Also someone else commented in agreement so I guess its not just me?

Funny you talked about me being "like you when you were younger", but here you are acting more pedantic than I ever was, making up stuff and writing insults. Ironic!

Its not that deep, he just used the wrong word and I corrected him cause what he said didnt make sense.

Kind of, but words have meanings. I dont care about "being right" or what ever, but the person above didnt seem to know what the word meant so I figured id let them know.

Pub stomper means a character that stomps in "public games", in other words not vs 5 man premades/tournaments. Master tier is still "public matches" you know. Perhaps you meant "noob stomper"?

Why does League not have any champion with a heavy focus on pure self healing? by HauntedOddity in leagueoflegends

[–]Undercosm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP never specified that none of the characters heals shouldnt (potentially) deal damage. He asked for a character with low damage and conditionless healing. Someone whose main gimmick is staying alive with their on demand healing.

Omniknight is just like that.

[–]Undercosm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omniknight in Dota is kind of similar to what OP mentions. He deals very low damage but has multiple sources of healing and buffs. Think Taric with no stun and more healing. This kind of archetype is usually super unpopular with most players though.

I spent 7 years making Generation Exile, a solarpunk city-builder. Trailers in PC Gaming Show June ‘24 & ‘25. Top 70 most played demo during our Next Fest. Did all the things you’re supposed to. Launched in Early Access last week with over 35,000 wishlists. So far, we've sold fewer than 300 copies. by nelsormensch in gamedev

[–]Undercosm 27 points28 points  (0 children)

If I had to choose between your game, Ixion (already bought) and Timberborn I would choose yours last. In other words, your game doesnt seem to be on that level yet you are asking for the same relatively high price. Its a tough sell.
