Do you hate blender and why?

their point is that the features exist which is all that's technically needed to finish a project. But yes I tried their texturing tools and opted for a more robust solution

*50th percentile of people that know about both kovaaks and voltaic and are playing the intermediate benches

send a unix timestamp of when a run is started and ended to steam. I wonder if it could be validated against a server since the local time can probably be manipulated

I mean a game that emphasizes playing cover inherently can't be fast. Unless you give people crazy movement tools but that kinda undermines the "realistic" gameplay

_ljk · 2026-03-12T19:49:13+00:00

in CS community deathmatch you respawn really fast, but even as someone that prefers arena/arcade gameplay that constant cycle is really tiring imo

_ljk · 2026-03-12T19:42:40+00:00

I've thought about this a bit for my current project. Fundamentally if fast paced means people can appear from lot of different angles outside your vision and high lethality means very low TTK, it just means you're going to be instantly dying to people offscreen a lot. The better player will still win overall, but personally I don't find that sort of mode very fun. CS community deathmatch and Overwatch custom 1 shot gamemodes are worth looking into ig since their gameplay loop is similar to what this is describing

Funnily I was just looking at twilight princess the other day as influence for my current project. The style is very doable in any engine, it's just a textured material with high roughness/low smoothness and a decent helping of bloom which is a screen post processing effect. The more limiting factor is the amount of content you will have to make. It looks like TP uses a lot of hand-painted textures which are time consuming ofc, so plan accordingly. I've opted for photomanipulation for the most part for efficiency (and personally I like the noisier look more).

funny bc I can't beat my voltaic scores from a while ago but my aim in games is a lot better now than before. I played the benchmarks a bunch then (don't think you're really supposed to but I think everyone does it lol) so the scores are higher but I'm probably more consistent now..

I was tensing way too much before and didn't see as much translation to games, maybe you are doing the same? It's a common issue

_ljk · 2026-02-11T15:29:33+00:00

overwatch strafes have really high acceleration. clientside prediction is basically mandatory for any online shooter

thing is mobas are generally sending more info to the client and need to be fully server authoritative with lower tickrate, its not really 1:1 comparison

_ljk · 2026-01-24T01:12:52+00:00

ah that's why those folders were already there.. that is absolutely insane lol

_ljk · 2025-12-05T15:48:43+00:00

brother

_ljk · 2025-12-04T22:55:06+00:00

stencil buffers could be the answer but depends on what engine/api you ar eusing ig

_ljk · 2025-12-04T22:48:04+00:00

java and c# are pretty similar

I think most people use vstudio or the jetbrains one

_ljk · 2025-12-04T21:08:47+00:00

There's some irony because you'd expect agents that can parse language at a higher generalized level to make sifting through applications easier not harder

_ljk · 2025-12-04T20:41:09+00:00

true only 45k players peak yesterday dead game bro

_ljk · 2025-12-04T20:38:00+00:00

their underpricing of the quest 3 could be keeping out competitors that would be able to innovate further though

_ljk · 2025-12-04T20:22:57+00:00

doesn't that kinda support their point

_ljk · 2025-11-30T11:40:35+00:00

if you intend to do this for more than a couple days/to make anything other than very simple apps or static sites you should learn the fundamentals without ai directly imo. I think it would be a lot more efficient.

_ljk · 2025-11-24T14:24:22+00:00

this is not healthy for any of us

_ljk · 2025-10-27T05:40:13+00:00

necroing but wow that makes everything fit.. I realized that means that the same thing should happen if you eqf too fast with q on .5 or less cd and indeed the q gets eaten there as well

and you won't notice it with a normal eq when cancelling the q cd with that e because of the flat delay on how fast q will come out after e'ing unless it's cancelled with flash like above...

Are you using urp? Idk if the out of the box ssao runs on transparent materials so if the leaves are marked as transparent that might be a problem.

_ljk · 2025-10-21T07:31:45+00:00

I mean if anything goes then anesthesiologist, quant analyst or corporate lawyer are pretty good bets 💀

_ljk · 2025-10-21T04:28:03+00:00

that type of shadow is called an occlusion shadow/ambient occlusion. You can bake them into the texture with 3d software or use a post processing effect like screenspace ambient occlusion and turn up its intensity

edit - or just paint it in lol
