He's describing new tech as augmentative instead of substitutive, but that premise breaks down because capitalist society has never been able to outsource *thought* and labor that humans were uniquely qualified for before. Companies will choose greed over people.

It really is a great community that gives a lot back. Epic also stays engaged and are very charitable with their resources, and I think that deserves some praise.

So many folks think that big studios are moving to Unreal because Unreal is filled with amazing features.

And those features are nice, yeah. But thatโ€™s reason #2

Reason #1 is that there is a huge Unreal community. Because this results in two important things:
1. Easy hiring
2. Problem solving.

Except it's usually trash that you have to go back and write from scratch anyway. These coding LLMs are StackOverflow with extra steps and anyone that thinks this is going to replace programmers clearly isn't a programmer.

There's a relatively untapped mine of sublime vibes in OG Xbox demo discs.

Every one I've tried over the last few years has had banger tuneage, sometimes hidden away in the demos section of Microsoft Games Studio games too.

We all run into it at some point: We are zooming in on a small area of our model, but Blender doesn't want to go any further. Well, fortunately there's 5 easy solutions for this, as shown in this video.

Totally agree. AI art is a cop-out. You're forfeiting the opportunity to create the visual art in what is largely a visual medium. And chances are that you're generating art with a model trained on someone else's work without their consent.

Maybe it's just me, but Dreamcast games felt like they were in a wider world. I can't put my finger on it. The skyboxes or render distance? Idk.

It was the exact opposite of N64 games where I felt shut into this tiny, isolated box that nothing exists outside of. Maybe Zelda excluded.

I never posted the zequel

(This looks far better in-game since this is a 200% regular zoom in-editor and not the actual game where everything is far crunchier. I'm also using a more intense light to prove a point.)

EVERYTHING has a normal!!!

Love everything about the aesthetic + music. I would 100% play this. If there's some kind of universal PC game storefront where I can indicate my desire to buy this game in the future I'll go do that.

If you think a game runs poorly because it's using Unreal Engine, that's not why.

Laziness, lack of time, lack of knowledge, or a combination of those things are why. The optimization tools / strategies available are insanely good. Epic devs did their part, I promise.

E3 2017 was my first. It was something I dreamt about going to since I was a kid. I'd been waiting for over 20 years, and I can't describe the feeling of walking those sparsely populated halls the day before it opened. It was like holy ground for me. Miss you, E3.

Polls would be cool!

I don't mean this as a counterpoint or anything, but sometimes when I feel indecisive or unsure it helps me to remember that some of the best / weirdest / most interesting game design decisions came from devs trusting their own creativity. Helps me with "design block."

Seeing how many people were against student loan forgiveness (because they were too late to benefit from it) makes me think otherwise. Republicans only care about what personally benefits themselves or hurts the people they hate.

I think a big part of that is companies not giving devs the time they need. That engine has *so many* tools and best practices for grinding out stellar performance, but it does take some time.
