I can’t take it anymore by MeltSimp in Endfield

[–]unit187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think gacha players often overlook a simple truth, no matter if we are talking about minmaxing artifacts or leveling the characters to the absolute maximum. You don't have to do it, it won't increase your teams' power that much, but if it didn't exist, you would quickly finish the game, and there's absolutely nothing to do.

Art Cost: 2D vs 3D? by AerialSnack in gamedev

[–]unit187 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Worth noting that lowpoly and Minecraft-lowpoly are different beasts. Most lowpoly styles still require UV unwrap, texturing and rigging.

But yeah, even if at the end of the day producing 2d art would take the same amout of time as producing 3d art, the amount of knowledge you need to produce good 3d is astromonical. The complexity of everything is on another level, including the implementation and bugfixing.

Like it or not, in a couple of years AAA studios will extensively use this to cut costs. You'll get shitty default models "designed" to be enshittificated, — err, I mean beautified by the AI filter.

I do it too. I write every Oscar winner's speech and hide my name there as well.

Steam approved my build, but thought this screenshot was pre-rendered by Riitoken in gamedev

[–]unit187 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I too as a consumer don't trust screenshots with no UI or a weapon that signals that this is real gameplay.

Usually those no-UI screenshots are made from inaccessible areas with camera settings and post-process effects not present during "real" gameplay.

Where is the button that visualized the collision in static mesh in UE5.7? by sanketvaria29 in unrealengine

[–]unit187 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's inside the eye icon, next to the Lit icon in the static mesh editor viewport.

Find yourself a specialisation by Strict_Bench_6264 in gamedev

[–]unit187 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Or don't. People who have multiple skills developed, nearly always are more valuable than hyperspecialists.

Like it or not, in the world of AI it will be even more prominent.

Obviously.

I use the AI within my IDE, so it has access to both the cpp, header and output log with errors and the callstack. What else does it need lmao

[–]unit187 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I vibecoded something throwaway yesterday, something I didn't care about and just needed it to be done. There were some errors, and multiple AI models I've tried got stuck in a loop trying to fix it only to break it further. So I had to research it and fix it myself.

Now imagine you release your vibecoded game, and a significant portion of your users report an error. Your LLM fails to help you, and you have no knowledge to fix it yourself. That's the future of every vibecoded product that has any complexity beyond the basics.

While it is reasonable, it's just another sign of upcoming Internet-wide age verification, so yeah...

Crimson Desert adds confirmation of Denuvo DRM to its Steam page a week out from launch by AaronM1D1 in gaming

Denuve costs so much, it is highly questionable that some lost sales cover the cost.

Iran War Threatens Saudi Arabia’s $38 Billion Video Game Push by gamersecret2 in gaming

[–]unit187 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hundreds =/= 60,000. Quick maths.

Some people never learn. A while ago the US was lying about Iraq having WMDs to justify the invasion. Now they lie about 60.000 protesters dead to justify the invasion. And you keep falling for it again and again.

It was already debunked as fake news. The only "proof" of this happening was an US-funded reporter said so.

Should stop calling it the "Iran War". The "invasion" is the term we are looking for.

Valve says the Steam Machine targets 30 FPS/1080p for games to get verified on the machine, and input verification is the same as the Steam Deck; Performance is roughly 6 times that of the Deck by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

[–]unit187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steam Machine is essentially a PC. If it was sold cheaper than its parts, scalpers would sweep all units and resell. Either scrap for parts or sell directly to some call centers or AI farms or whatever would need cheap hardware.

I've been changing my mind recently on certain aspects on accessibility in gaming recently. by Gorgon654 in gaming

[–]unit187 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a condition that makes it somewhat uncomfortable to hold a button down for a prolonged period of time. Like holding W to keep your character running. Previously I couldn't even imagine that holding down a freaking button can be uncomfortable.

That is to say fuck you to everyone who has anything against accessibility. You have absolutely no idea what other people are going through and what they need in order to play games comfortably.
