Saving and loading state can be a complicated thing. Are you using Unreal?

That's an amazing series of games you've worked on

I can't even imagine the work that went into the final level of Split Fiction. I hope they do a talk on how they even got the split levels working the way they do

A game by the creators of Danganronpa and Zero Escape called The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy- is on Steam Next Fest right now. I just finished the demo and it has some fun mysteries. I'll definitely be buying the full version

So excited to see more Exodus. I think it'll be an absolute GOTY contender (whenever it's out)

I started to enjoy KCD2 quite a lot and then got to the Storm quest and it ruined the experience completely

Can't wait! I think it'll easily be one of the top RPGs of 2025

Mass Effect Andromeda can look really good sometimes

It's such an amazing experience. Played it once start to finish, but haven't gone back since

Sadly there aren't very many game studios here + australia

It's absolutely devastating to see this happen to any studio, but especially BioWare. So many people with years or decades working there. Losing that kind of talent is not good for a studio. You can't just hire new people later and think it'll be just as efficient or the same.

It's gotta be Exodus, Avowed, and Fable (hopefully). But there's also Death Stranding 2, Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, Expedition 33, an dThe Outer Worlds 2.

I also hate seeing cursors on consoles, it feels lazy. Just spending a bit of time making everything navigable by the d-pad and buttons is well worth it

25.01.2025 21:44 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

I thought for sure Exodus would appear after all the stuff they've been releasing. I also hoped for Fable and Bloodlines 2

Worlds Untold, made up of ex-Bioware people is pausing work, basically shutting down like Humanoid Origin. That only leaves Archetype Entertainment in the AAA Sci-fi space. There's also Yellow Brick Games with Mike Laidlaw, but they are working on Eternal Strands.

I thought we might even see this at the game awards since it's been quite a few years. I was super excited about this game along with the ones from Archetype Entertainment and Worlds Untold. I hope everyone there can find new jobs quickly

I imagine there's extra work to link it up to the cinematics/audio side

Unreal 5.5 has a LOT of great additions for profiling, performance and optimization. I've compiled a list of the most interesting changes, with some commentary.

I've also adapted some code from the ue4-orders-abilities project by Daedelic Entertainment. It's a work in progress as well github.com/cd1232/RTSPl.... I first found it from this fantastic talk by Nick Pruehs www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Dm1...

Seeing the kind of stuff you did for Veilguard makes me super excited to see the game from Humanoid Origin

Hope we also see something from Humanoid Origin, another sci-fi game, and ex-Bioware

Is the Utility Selector you've made in behavior trees a replacement for the default sequence/selector nodes?

Same! Could even be better than Persona with the new fantasy setting

If you haven't already played Persona 4, check that out as well! It is a bit older but still great. And there's also the Persona 3 Reload (remake) coming out early next year
