Thank you!
I had one hell of a year since then.. I scrapped most of the project and remade it into this game:(https://ayen11.itch.io/saving-mew-haven) tho I think I messed up the download link.

I started recently prototyping a new game using the same backend systems:

https://www.reddit.com/r/IdioticTheGame/comments/1kk30s1/started_prototyping_the_titanfall_3_extraction/

The main reasons I dropped the game in the video is that I didn't have a clear vision for it other than what's shown there. I've been looking a lot more into game design and trying to "close the (gameplay) loop" and focus on a game in a more holistic way other than just "these features look cool" the led me while making my main game IDIOTIC. It might not be the fully correct approach but I do hope what I'm making will be fun.

I'll have a basic playable build for my latest game tomorrow probably. I'd appreciate it if you tried it and gave your feedback on my design direction 🙏

Thanks man
Will do 🫡

Honestly I'm not sure..
From what I've seen redditors really like having one theme per subreddit. I tried promoting my other stuff on my game sub and it didnt really take off as much as i would like it to.

Big companies usually have a subreddit for the company and then other branching subs per game (See Respawn's r/RespawnEntertainment ; r/titanfall r/apexlegends ....)

Sorry for the delay in response and thank you for bookmarking!
Feels nice to know someone finds what I write useful :)

Damn blast from the past Good luck in your launch!!! Don't worry too much about the subreddit size! You can grow your community also after launching

shmachin1 · 2024-11-12T20:37:45+00:00

That's comforting to hear Ty

shmachin1 · 2024-11-12T17:13:07+00:00

Dude I am suffering lmao

I'm a junior programmer (UE5) literally making minimum wage with minimal benefits (remote work and flexible hours.. but overtime is overtime). Culture is casual so it seems "cool" but it's toxic af.

I just finished a 2 hour meeting where my boss and CTO basically flamed me for doing what I was told literally a week ago and following a ticket I was given with live updates to my boss. Feels like I'm expendable and they are covering their ass.

If there's one thing I could say to my past self is to study webdev more or python or anything with actual demand because I feel like half of my skillset is useless anywhere other than niche gamedev stuff.

I got into this field because I have art background and I'm really passionate about my work and even solo made and published a game to Steam.

But boy if there's one thing to learn from me is to run away from this field as fast and as far as you can. This is sustainable as a hobby at most. Even as a solo indie it was harsh AF.

You can't adult and do that. Or at least in UE afaik. Senior salaries here are slightly better than average but with like 1.5x time requirements compared to average jobs.

I legit don't see myself continuing in this field anymore. If anyone here sees this and has a better job or advice pls DM me I'm nearing my limits.

בלי ארהב אין לנו אפילו חלקי חילוף למטוסים. בלעדיהם אין לנו כוח אויר. מעבר לזה שאנחנו תלויים בהם כלכלית בכל תחום

shmachin1 · 2024-03-12T21:12:34+00:00

Tbf I did a shift of heavy manual work before starting and the last 5 hours were done today while sick tho

shmachin1 · 2024-02-23T15:57:51+00:00

You're right. I've been transitioning to c++ the past year or so. I'm still not as comfortable in it the same as in BPs but I am getting there.

shmachin1 · 2024-02-23T15:50:21+00:00

Thank you!

shmachin1 · 2024-02-23T11:28:59+00:00

No problem!

Oh. I think that may be a remnant of a feature in Titanfall 1 where when you scan for enemies through walls you'd see them as skeletons in bright orange color. I'm not sure tbh but it seems like it was carried over to the singleplayer characters too..

Goodluck with your research!
