in my experience gold piles in video games have between 1 and 5 gold pieces in their inventory

There is certainly a lot of less than ideal tut material out there often recommending non-idiomatic approaches the relevant task. I would recommend starting by reading the header files of whatever module/plugin you are trying to implement as it is often times fairly comprehensive!

really love the CD case insert style

#GAS handles a majority of the replication calls you would need normally. Saved me a lot of time which I spent creating a server/client setup. Also tinkered in Blender; made a wizard hat!

Next week: session management and gameplay loop management (waiting, start, progress, end)

#GameDev #Unreal

why did you learn to program?

🙄 blocked.

Discourse around NPC behaviors has virtually disappeared since "AI" in video games has come to refer to generative AI. This is frustrating as it is the topic I find most interesting in #gamedev.

I think we need a different kind of nomenclature that governs non-player decision making systems.

Last year I watched several of your videos, but this year I've only even been recommended your AMA post on my feed.

Theres a lot of discussion around this in the Unreal community about this very topic. There are a few talented VFX guys who have identified the source of the problem (tonemapper) and it's just a matter of that information and solutions spreading to the rest of us

very clean. macroblank style; I like it

Refactored everything into separate plugins and got it all in separate repositories. Next week slowly adding replication while expanding GAS implementation #UE5

low damage fast attacks and high damage slow attacks are equally affected by the damage reduction where whole integer reduction would disproportionately affect lower damage attacks. also for consideration is 'hit to kill' breakpoints

the inverted colors on impact is so tuff 💪

get a nas

looks good

I think the biggest challenge was understanding what necessary bits were needed in order to activate an ability from one actor that is targeting another actor. Once I grasped how to make contexts and specs correctly everything started working.

In my effort to avoid visual scripting as much as possible i figured out how to use Gameplay Abilities and Effects using C++... I'm not sure it was worth it but at least now I understand how #GAS passes around the related instances. #UE5 #UnrealEngine #GameDev

i have no doubt i will be seeing this animation very frequently as i die and respawn constantly

would you mind sharing some of the optimizations you made to getting to your current cap?

The problem with GetActorsInSelectionRect is the way it uses an actor's extents. Basically it gives you a hitbox at the most extreme ends of ANY components that are attached to that actor. Taking 50% of those extents is more accurate but I'm also looking into filtering components.

#UE5 #Unreal

Built marquee selection into my RTS game using a recommended method only to find out that not only does everyone have problems with it, but even the sample RTS project Unreal includes has the exact problems everyone is complaining about. Not sure if box tracing from the camera is a better solution

hell yeah blender has a crazy feature set

In the event that @jesawyer.bsky.social is secretly working on Pillars 3, I really hope he plans to let us fight the Concelhaut x Titan of Wael that was unleashed upon Eora by the Watcher (the canon ending to the Forgotten Sanctum, of course).

@wigglewood.bsky.social i wonder if the genie ever found his hat

these are all good dogs, Brent, but the best one is Jake from adventure time

veterans affairs the game

cant tell you the amount of times ive had to go through vendors in every city looking for that quest item i sold 🤦‍♂️
