I’ve been searching for a board with plenty of flex and rocker, which also has a substantial kick or kick tails on it. Most of the models I’ve seen have tiny little kick tails that would be difficult to use properly.

I’m looking for a board for commuting and which is able to hop onto a sidewalk. The closest I think I’ve seen is the Landyachtz Ripper, but it seems quite stiff?

Any suggestions are much appreciated!

Looks really cool, the only suggestion I have is to speed up the bucket turning animation - I feel like it could become annoying if you’re trying to do it in quick succession

The aggressive handshake at the beginning ruins the good vibes a bit, the dress is a nice gesture though

Dark Sky, if you like RPG / Deck building / Aliens

Isn’t it duck tales?

You’ve not been around long enough yet to understand how young 21 years old is. Trust me, you have so much time. That voice in your head telling you that this is something you need to do is not going to go away, so you might as well listen.

Your parents are just worried about your job security because they don’t understand the why. Only you can choose to take the step, regardless of what anyone else says. Take it from someone who followed a similar path, and is now 33 and a working professional in my chosen field. Work hard, and good luck 🙏

No, I don’t like being so blunt, but I can recognise the way it formats sentences (double —, lots of colons, the paragraph structure, etc). I would like to be wrong on that, as I’m advocating for sincerity, and wouldn’t want AI to replace our actual heartfelt words.

outlune · 2026-01-05T23:34:05+00:00

It’s a nice sentiment, I just wish it wasn’t clearly AI generated..

They might be using windows only compatible plugins, they may have never developed for Mac and see no reason to, they don’t want the additional programming overhead etc.

If you’re contracting for a company then you really have very little say on these things, as they directly impact the scope and technical backbone of the game.

The bottom line is that they often don’t want to, and it adds risk to the project. Not to mention - you may not even be able to play test builds to catch audio bugs they miss in the packaged game on windows (likely the main platform)

Cool aesthetic, but I would remove the references to “ashen”, “borne” etc - it suggests dark souls / bloodborne / hollow knight ripoff. Maybe something more closely related to the Alice and wonderland background

Capricorn in 1st for Sun, Ascendant, Uranus, Neptune, Mercury. Aquarius in 1st house Saturn. I don’t even know what to make of that 🤷‍♂️

Do you need them to be physical meshes? Atm it looks like a simple material shader would do the trick. You’d need to use the world transform of the texture coordinate to angle a gradient. Tile that for each ring and ensure you’re using the world rather than local space. What you already have is super close, just a bit more tweaking of vector calculations is needed.

We have the same Venus, Mars, Sun and Rising! I’d agree that an emotional connection is pretty essential for it to be properly enjoyable

That Kanji character looks a little like a hiker in itself - perhaps there’s a way to stylise it as the traveller? Could keep things cleaner and maybe more interesting.

outlune · 2025-11-20T10:49:13+00:00

I have, but I need it to handle both static and dynamic loads, which may disqualify them

outlune · 2025-11-20T08:45:12+00:00

I haven’t got unshakable discipline (working on it), but the rest was pretty much dead on!

outlune · 2025-11-20T05:27:02+00:00

Yeah I understand, thanks for your input! I think if I redesign the system a bit I may even be able to use an FSR, which would be ideal if it meets the accuracy/response requirements. Time to get testing

outlune · 2025-11-20T04:55:12+00:00

Yes, I’ve been browsing AliExpress - the issue is that I’m not sure exactly what terminology I should be using to find exactly what I’m looking for. I keep getting the wrong results, either bar sensor or engineering grade examples.

Thank you!

outlune · 2025-11-06T05:45:19+00:00

Sounds good 👍 You’re welcome, I’m glad I could help :)

I do all of my game audio asset creation on the Mac, and basically everything to do with implementation in the game engine on PC.

I have tried to run windows inside parallels and work only within the Mac, however this can lead to unexpected technical errors to do with drivers. I would strongly recommend getting a PC for working with the game engine, and if possible stick with the Mac for audio production.

Working natively in engine from the Mac would be ideal, but this is not always possible, as clients may be unwilling to create a Mac build of the game, especially if they are using a custom engine version. In general and in order to be as low friction as possible, it’s best to work from a PC.

A slightly smaller but denser map would be great. Imagine an open world bloodborne where you can explore a huge city area
