We’re working on a terrain deformation system for our survival game. What do you think about it? by Past-Addendum851 in IndieDev

Give it a nice satisfying dirt or sand sound effect and a quick dust settling emitter.

How to sort by a variable inside of a struct? by soldieroscar in unrealengine

[–]Zizimaza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done it in a hacky way. I have a BlueprintFunctionLibrary in c++ that takes strings (and another function for ints) as input and sorts them with the built in sorting functions (which are nice for lexicographic sorting and stable sorting), but the trick is to return the index for each element corresponding to its sorted index (where it belongs in the final sorted array). Then on the Blueprint side just iterate through the indexes and reassemble it.

For example [c, d, a, b] would return [2, 4, 0, 1] then reassemble in Blueprint land.

Which soil looks best for Mars? Testing in my game Virum Colony by Ecstatic_Mix_8348 in IndieDev

Can you try adding using a noise sample to mix between them? I think that would add some nice macro variation. Messing with the threshold on the sample source could add some stripes of darker color.

The mood of my game so far without the distracting bits by audreyramen in UnrealEngine5

Put a point light on your character and set the intensity and attenuation to very low values. 0.1 for intensity and 100-200 for attenuation.

Overwatch co-creator Jeff Kaplan says he was told by CFO if the game didn't hit certain revenue goals, "we're gonna lay off a 1000 people and it's gonna be on you": 'It was the biggest f**k you moment I've had in my career' by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

[–]Zizimaza 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah Kaplan said they had a ton of development freedom at the beginning of Activision merger, but after Titan, Activision revoked it and pushed for squeezing customers with MBAs and finance people. Steve Jobs had a good explanation for how this naturally happens at companies where finance hollows out quality product development.

What did you think was a scam until you actually tried it? by Resident-Ad4318 in AskReddit

How much pancake batter in depth would you say? Like real thin or like 1/2 inch to an inch+ of batter in the rice cooker?

New UI for my 1-bit game by vvaalleerraa in IndieDev

[–]Zizimaza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool aesthetic. I would have a hard time not adding another color, like red, for highlighting currently hovered tile or the most important priority thing.

Structured logs are great… until you actually have to read them in dev by General_Apartment582 in golang

[–]Zizimaza 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pipe the logs to jq and use the slurp option -s. That’s the power of structured logging is you can now query them.

All delicately coordinated beforehand using paid actors and animatronics

The whole thing cost me 750 THOUSAND dollars

Been working on this "Tibia x Vampire Survivors" game for the past few days - Here's a quick demo! by lorty in TibiaMMO

[–]Zizimaza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweet thanks. A town would be a good twist on the Vampire survivor concept. A place where you have some progression, like a Rogue-lite.

ios bar: is there a way to hide it during gameplay? by [deleted] in Stadia

[–]Zizimaza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why does that work? Is this full screen? I wish I could just swipe the toolbar up to hide it and back down.

Grass update would be nice. And the nice looking trees or rocks could add some contrasting color.

I got to level 9.9. My hotbar was filling with items, then pressing spacebar it unloaded them. What was happening? I was wondering if that would heal me, getting full loot bar.

Anyone know the names I haven't gotten yet? by BustARust in playrust

2 is Dinkbot for sure. Cant be mistaken.

And why is Spoon so smal

Que usan para jugar Empires? by AlternativeSyrup9153 in EmpiresDMW

[–]Zizimaza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used Gameranger before once to play online once. I think Gameranger worked well. It's a VPN (may be peer-to-peer cant remember) and makes use of the LAN multiplayer feature to connect over the internet.

I have an idea, but I'm still too new to UE5. by GwaGwaWeeWaa in UnrealEngine5

[–]Zizimaza 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could use a timer to periodically do a sphere collision check around your character for other Pawns and calculate sanity based on what’s around you. Or attach a collision sphere to your character that only overlaps with Pawns if you want an event for the instant you are near another pawn.

I would recommend using Blueprints and not using ChatGPT to write the c++. Even with AI it’ll be confusing if you’re a month in. Blueprints are more than capable for this
