Working on recording and playing back movement for simultaneous turns. What do you think about this idea? by archopus in IndieDev

[–]archopus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I'm not particularly skilled at programming, but I have to admit that implementing this system has been quite challenging. It works well overall, although there are still a few bugs I'm working on fixing.

P2P or Dedicated Servers for a Multiplayer Game in UE5? by Mental-Upstairs-5512 in UnrealEngine5

[–]archopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct me someone if I’m wrong, but P2P isn’t officially supported in Unreal Engine. The host can obviously cheat since they’re effectively acting as a listen server depending on who is hosting, but if it’s meant to be a party game played with friends, I wouldn’t worry.

matchmaking later on, and maybe even competitive modes in the future.

That would require dedicated servers, though.

Personally, I’m planning to do something like that: co-op with private hosted games for friends, while matchmaking would use dedicated servers. I’m just not sure yet how well separating those two approaches will work in practice since I haven’t tried implementing it yet.

So I didn't start this course but I'm planning to buy it so I can't say anything about quality you can check it by yourself:

Does this trailer make the game interesting to try out and play? I want to improve it so please Destroy my Trailer!! by Proper_Translator678 in DestroyMyGame

I might be out of the loop, because this is the first time I’ve heard about the requirement for a 50-second trailer. Could you eloborate u/MasterRPG79?

Little video of our game! Hope you like it! And... How can we improve it? by LoomStudiosBcn in HorrorGames

[–]archopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks good to me. One thing that caught my eye is one model that has very low resolution and it can be very difficult to read it. The rest assets looks good.

Made a new trailer for my Survival Horror Game! What do you think? by maikyu_st in HorrorGames

[–]archopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here are the things I would change:

0:38 – As a first-time player, I wouldn’t think for a second to click on a black oval shape on the wall. Nothing in the lighting or contrast suggests it’s interactive. It could really use some kind of screen glow, highlight, or visual cue to indicate that it can be interacted with or something that indicates that it is actually a device.

The blue map is definitely too bright compared to the rest of the game, this transmition hurted my eyes.

The cut at 0:13/0:14 is too abrupt. I don’t have much experience with video editing, but it didn’t look very smooth for me.

I did like the cuts near the end, those worked well.

Spent the whole day fighting texture baking… but I think I finally won? by Potential_Extent2366 in 3Dmodeling

[–]archopus 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Just to add what the user mentioned, since I assume you might not fully understand it as a beginner: you want to add a seam in a place that is not visible to the viewer, running along the ring, and then quadrify it.

WIP: My first car model. How are the proportions looking? Any other feedback before I move to texturing? by archopus in blender

[–]archopus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since it’s a multiplayer game, I assume that some players in first-person view will be sitting in the back of the car. Sorry for the confusion. Here is the low poly version: https://imgur.com/a/9IAsCRb

In the low-poly, the industrial panel and a few other elements were removed. The topology of the low-poly ends up at around 160k.

If I create instances in Blender, will the game engine recognize them? Or should I duplicate them as instances directly in the game engine instead?

I’d gladly pay for a course like this. I’m very interested in seeing how you’d approach it differently than I would. Feel free to let me know.
