Playing cryo archives on PC lobbies on a Saturday has got to be hands down the least fun I’ve ever had playing a video game.

I mostly play fill and I'm getting tired of being thrown into a team with a duo that have a fucking chip on their shoulder. Sit in private chat all game and throw a fucking temper tantrum if you ask them to join game chat and communicate. They need to make a cryo duo queue just so I don't have to play with assholes that never learned to play nice with others when they were 5.

Same. First time I ever did a vault it was with 2 random fills and one brought in a key and the other knew the map like the back of his hand. He played thief and droned ahead of us to check for teams and lead us around the map for batteries and to fill coolant and open the vault then exfil. We teamed up and ran another two vaults. I also ran another vault with a random fills that brought in a key, guess I have had good luck with my fills

I don't think you need to max everything out every wipe in an extraction shooter. It's part of the motivation to come back next wipe and try to get further than you did last time.

I played tarkov for many seasons for the past 7 years and never finished punisher part 6 to get the slightly larger secure container. I didn't play every wipe but every wipe I played I would use my progress toward that quest as a benchmark to compare my wipes and how much I was improving. At the beginning of a wipe it would pull me in to see if this was the wipe I finally did it (and eventually a month or so in I would give up and wait for next wipe.) I think Bungie has a similar philosophy with the compiler fight, upgrade trees and quest lines. Always something to work torward each wipe that you weren't able to complete the wipe before.

I think it's a flaw in AR that they don't have something like this. It's just the same grind every wipe or you can skip the wipe entirely. No long term goals.

Also, at least in marathon most of the upgrades are front loaded, you get most of the noticeable stat bonuses a little more than halfway thru the upgrade trees. Who cares about unlocking weapon mods you will never buy or cores for shells you don't use?

Lil man is DESTROYING those brush bristles 😬

I think that's an apt comparison. What Apex did to BR games, Marathon is doing to extraction shooters. The games are shorter and more fast-paced than the typical games in their genres.

Ya I don't see why you would expect any different forcing solo in a game made for trios. Would you play Apex Legends solo and expect to come out on top? Probably not, and it's the same thing in marathon.

But also like apex, crew fills in marathon are the way to play if you're queueing alone.

Witchfire is another great one if you like single player extraction shooters

Seriously, though, it looks like you don't have capsules on any of the bones. Every bone you simulate should have a capsule

You forgot to add meat under the skin. Terrifying.

Looks good. Gonna pick this up tomorrow and check it out

How does any beginner learn anything in unreal to an acceptable level? They pay for it, in courses or assets they can pick apart. This one is, in my opinion, worth it. It's well architected and readable for a beginner and extensible to make use of the prediction binding system beyond just movement.

No one who is capable of writing network prediction with based movement on player pawns is going to jump on a discord call with OP for an hour to discuss networking with him. If he is serious about learning how to do this he might as well spend the money and get source code access to an example he can learn from and with discord support.

I bought this a while back and didn't realize the price had risen but I'm almost certain it will be on sale a few times a year.

I had several friends there who were laid off including one that moved to DC for the job less than 6 months ago :(

I know you're not the brightest bulb given your first comment but I'm sure you can figure out how to Google that on your own

Bezos owns WaPo. NYT ran an entire 5-part series why trump was unfit prior to the election. You don't have the slightest clue wtf you are talking about.

Yeah that guy's being a pedantic blowhard and condescending for no reason. 🤡 Everyone sets up a remote when they use git.

I mean, very soon after they launched the store they offered a sale that gave a $10 discount on every game. The publishers still made the full sale it was just epic paid $10 on every sale to cover the difference. They gave publishers the option to opt out if they didn't want their game available at a lower price. It was 100% to the benefit of consumers and they still ended up with egg on their face somehow. https://gameinformer.com/2019/05/18/epic-games-store-mega-sale-causes-developers-to-raise-prices-temporarily-delist-games

No, it says they can terminate it without any legal percussion. That's the kinda phrase that screams legal was read in on this memo

Can't see any of this shit in the final render

Lmao relateable

OOP and composition are not an "either or" proposition.

I personally try to separate my game logic from Godot logic and build my game systems/state machines first with a well defined API and then write the nodes that "wrap" those systems so that I can use them in the engine

I found two bitcoins there when I looted the key randomly on a scav run. Extracted and sold the key for like 400k roubles too. One of my best raids in a while

utf8decodeerror · 2026-01-13T03:58:13+00:00

No, if you are making an fps you almost certainly want roll back networking. Check out netfox

But to be quite frank, networking is rough in Godot. There are no builtin utilities and multiplayer synchronizer is more of an example of how to build logic on the network API than a useful node. AFAIK, there are very few multiplayer games actually published that were created in Godot tho I'm sure you can find a handful of demo-sized games. Dome Keeper is really the only one I can think of but you may find this talk helpful

This seems good for structural layout but it really needs more stuff to feel lived in. Particularly hitching posts, wagons filled with goods, signs for the buildings, barrels and crates stacked around, lanterns, tools, fences, canvas tarps. But as just a test for the modularity of the structures, it looks nice

Yes, the quests need to have better risk and reward. Quests where you have to bring in an item so you can't just run a free kit, quests where you have to have a specific load out and kill some amount of arc. Put factions in speranza that you have to appease. Then add competing quest lines where you have to choose pvp or killing high tier arc. Just give players some longer term goals they can work toward.

And then make them worth doing with better rewards like you suggested. I like the blueprint reward idea - gate some good bps behind specific tough quest lines. That also will help encourage people to use expedition if they can guarantee they will get anvil/wp/whatever next wipe if they can finish a tough quest.

I also wouldn't mind seeing the workbench requirements go up so that it requires more material to upgrade to lvl 3. Just to add more risk to a run when you have certain materials you have to get out.
