>>491777258I only need some key art for emotional moments in my game, 8 pieces total. At $1000 a piece for normal popular artists it can get pretty expensive so I'd rather cut as many costs as I can. These guys do it for $200 only. (Background + some characters)

pizza time>>491776734Aldi, at least in the US, is known for being shitty. They're always dirty, understaffed, and you can never count on anything being in stick. A couple weeks ago I was at Aldi and every register went down and the staff had no idea how to fix it so they started only accepting cash.I've only ever gone to Lidl once when I was in Porto, but it was much, much nicer then any Aldi I've ever been to.
Post Review Counts
>>491777258This. Even capsule art is likely outside of their interest because suddenly they actually have to pay attention to detail and can't just plop out their interpretationThey like being artists and called artists but only want to work on their stuff and get paid for it
>>491776953That's only accounts for payments that went through Steam (and paid Steam their 30% cut). Nearly all MOBAs/MMOs have alternate payment processors.
>>491778821I get the ALDI supreme pizza all the time. You can't beat $8 for a 16" 3k+ calorie total pizza.

>>491779983bro are you coding in a notepad?
>>491779491Same. How is it that artstyles like Coffin of Leyley and Helltaker are immediately recognizable by everyone? Is it the eyes? Should I draw every character with the same eyes? Should I even try to come up with an artstyle when I'm only a programmer who's been taking drawing lessons for 6 months, or just try to make something not-shit even if it's generic looking?

>>491779964>Heightmap from noiseoh, so the geometry is entirely real-time? the way my system worked was, I used noise to generate a terrain one vertex at a time, and then I used a heightmap that only recorded the OFFSET, the deformation. the heightmap was higher res (more pixels than the base mesh has vertices) and vertex displacement would interpolate the data from the heightmap to fake more detail.to stitch the heightmaps together I can't think of a GPU solution so I guess one would have to just read all of the edge heights and average them between each two chunks. but that seems really intense because it's happening on the CPU and involves writing to two chunks at a time, all the time.

>>491775640What kind of artist? Is it for a one off job or to draw all the art in your game?>>491778821Huh? The one near me is actually well kept and clean looking. The only issues I've seen are the other two. But lines are typically short since I'm a neet and shop during weekday wagie hours, strangely lots of young women shop during this time of day. Yet when I drive I mainly only see men in cars.>>491780121Full immersion VR, I'd play that.

>>491780746Visionary would make their own engine.Dreamer would know what engine to use.
>>491780627Not that anon, but as far as complexity goes, I'd say a more advanced form of VR. Not the bulky headset shit we have now but something more full body immersive where you can really feel like you are into the game.
>>491780626>But lines are typically short since I'm a neet and shop during weekday wagie hours, strangely lots of young women shop during this time of dayYoung women don't work, they leech off their chad boyfriends who are away earning their rent (and all other expenses)

how is this food able to kill all your yesdev energy?is it the insulin spike? is it the gluten? is it the salt? is it the dehydration it causes? is it the unhealthy stuff you usually put on bread?

>>491781478I don't understand you people who somehow have this negative reaction to bread. What ethnicity are you? I'm assuming Asian or Indian, somewhere where civilization developed around rice rather than bread? I'm French and I don't have any of these issues. I eat half a loaf a day.
>>491782185I will make a game that sells itself. I will not give up like Marmodev
>>491782239Oh, no bro. We are white and in industrialized nations. Your bread is just healthy.

Tfw just found an inventory making tutorial that looks promising. Not the same engine as mine though. The amount of inventory tutorials I've seen only for most to suck is huge! Why do so many of them suck at making a good inventory? For such "expert coders" they seem to lack the skill in making it feel good. I already have my own inventory but it's got too many things interconnected to even be usable in a new game.>>491781478Used to have two sandwiches before I realized the choices were too high in saturated fat>PBJ Sandwiches (2) with 2% Milk (like 7g sat fat)>Chicken & Cheese Sandwiches (2) with Soda or Juice (like 6 grams sat fat)Easy calories though, like half a days worth.

>>491775320I wonder how terrain deformation works. Do you just have a sphere, intersect a sphere with triangles, say bye to those triangles, then wrap new triangles around the sphere? That's how I imagine it in my head.

>>491783210Maybe this twat.

>>491782586Sorry Anon, I can't for the life of me find it. Hope you can find a solution.
oh my god why can't i fucking think right now
make a pest control game, where you are sent into houses and have to kill all the vermin. make it coop. ofc make it go wild with flamethrowers and bazookas and stuff over time (you need to earn money to upgrade)
>>491782586>your system sounds brutal in comparisonI trial and errored my way through it like a Chad. unfortunately that leads to dead ends. you get to a certain point where you just can't fake it til you make it any more and only real skills would allow you to move forward.

>>491782598>I wonder how terrain deformation worksMany ways of doing it, I'm sure there is someone that has done it the way you just described.The way I'm working on is pushing the vertexes down and regenerating the chunk with the updated mesh info.

>>491784316didn't work for Freddy Fygoon, Nortubel, or Poke All Toads
>>491784270First, think of the basic premise. For 999, this is "a bunch of strangers wake up on a cruise ship with no memory of how they got there". For Ghost Trick, it was "a ghost witnessed his own death but can't remember who he was or why he was killed". Then, think of all the characters you'll need. What type of people would you find in the setting where the story takes place? What types of personalities would they have? After that, decide on the plot twist. Then it's just a matter of filling in all the gaps.
>>491784578Because astro-turfing doesn't actually work unless you're a big company with millions to blow on it, and even then they fail more often than succeed.
>>491784362That's how Valheim does it, so it's probably good enough.
The general badly needs a split to survive.Why should anyone be expected to care about an occasional progress from a game made by a random anonymous person, not in their genre, made with an unfamiliar engine?At the moment the only common ground we have is shitposting and it leads to low quality threads. We need to focus the discussion. A thread per major engine and a thread for enginedevs.

>>491785106Look around, you're on /vg/, where there's a general for every moderately popular video game series. Why should engines be any different?We all hate each other and yet we're forced to share the same space, just because.

It's a ghost town.>Why should anyone be expected to care about an occasional progress from a game made by a random anonymous person, not in their genre, made with an unfamiliar engine?I don't care what engine your game is made with, the only people who do are nodevs who want to start endless enginewar arguments. People don't post progress here because there's no point. Responses to progress include the following:>no (You)s or generic comments like 'good job'Means nobody cares about your progress>omg fucking SOVLwhich means your game just isn't going to be commercially viable and you're not gonna make it>what a fucking shit game just kill yourselfschitzo posts like this usually mean your work is good enough to hurt someone's ego and you're probably gonna do fine.
>>491785627That's the point I'm making. Even if the game itself doesn't interest you there's still common ground for discussion and you don't get lost in a sea of shitposts
>>491784186I love and accept you anon but I need you to help me with my game

>>491786063I could just hang out in a game engine's discord for that, and I can assure you I have nothing to talk to those people about.
>>491786608The vast majority of games that get put under the "puzzle" label are things like slide puzzles or match 3s, etc. Games like Portal and Talos are very much outliers, and would probably be more accurately labeled under some sort of mini-genre than "puzzle."
>>491786117Source and GoldSrc have more notable games attached to their names, excluding the ones made by valve.

>>491786619Your sarcasm was meant to imply that they don't have much in common. Which is wrong. Games made in the same engine have a lot in common and the devs go through similar challenges. Much better than having a catch all thread where the only thing our games have in common is that they're games

>>491788475i didn't say "right now"
>>491788634>reasonable>well-structured
>>491788797that question would get answered immediately in an engine specific thread thoughbeit
>>491788210Your engine's documentation is literally all you need to make a "real game". Last time I checked there weren't YouTube tutorials when Square was making Final Fantasy 7. If you can't make a game reading the docs, alone then change your engine or get your IQ up.
>>491788516Better games get crabbed more when the thread is full of shitters. Nothing makes a nodev seethe more than seeing a competently made game.
>>491789073Post these so-called "competently made game"?
If your question doesn't get answered, it's either because >People don't know the answer (Likely because the question was really vague)or>Whatever you asked was really fucking stupid and made no sense
i had my most productive times when i focused 100% only on code. then i more and more realized i need art. not only assets, but also level design etc.then i tried to get into that and i basically quit gamedev.i dunno what to do right now, i could go back to just programming and doing nothing else, but it'd really mean i'll never make a game.and i also don't even really know what to program anymore.yes, i could do programmer art, but even if i'd be skilled to do that, i dont enjoy it, i just dont want to spend time doing that.
>>491788935If you said what engine you were using, someone might've answered, but even then, it's a lazy, retarded question. Why the fuck should you expect someone answering your question to put in more effort than you, the one actually in need help, is willing to put in yourself? Fuck off.
>>491788949>Last time I checked there weren't YouTube tutorials when Square was making Final Fantasy 7>Youtube released 2005>FF7 came out 2020Shows what you know
>>491789141and here it gets buried by 100+ shitposts within an hour so if someone who does know the answer comes along it won't be answered then either

Redoing how contracts are taken and completed, now they are attach to a ship (and ship can't be build without contract) so player should not be able to waste money for nothing.I'm really getting close from the complete gameplay (just need the UI for tie everything together).
>>491789695That's one reason, yes. The other reason is people asking repeated and obvious questions. The amount of times I've somebody ask a question that was already answered in a google search or was in their engine's documentation is staggering. Like a lot of people aren't even trying at this point.

If Cris's non-question (>>491786149) gets more (You)s than your question, you're literally worse than Cris at asking questions.
>>491790167if I leave it will suck even more
>>49178969550% of questions could be solved with the poster attaching their game. A vague question about how to make something better when the person in question's game is literal garbage is asking the wrong question.

>>491790683No. It's because what Cris's non-question leads into an interesting discussion about the callback order of various initialization/destructor functions in Godot, for which there are many many of and it can be confusing to know which one is the right one to use.i.e, just for Node, not including various SceneTree events:>_init>NOTIFICATION_ENTER_TREE>signal tree_entered>_enter_tree>_ready>signal tree_exiting>NOTIFICATION_EXIT_TREE>_exit_tree>signal tree_exited

>>491792145already did

Unreal seems non existent, Construct is dead, Stencyl is dead as well, Unity is help desk tier, Gamemaker is meh, RPGMaker feels nice.Should probably split it by 2D and 3D.

i dont even notice skyrim has ugly jagged models and textures until (after hours of playing) i start to take a closer look out of boredom.so basically artists are wasting their time completely.

Anyone know why putting this code>if Input.is_action_just_pressed("sprint"):>prev_speed = speed>speed *= 1.5>if Input.is_action_just_released("sprint"):>speed = prev_speedinto func _input(event) results in webm related when I mash random buttons really fast, but putting it in func _physics_process(delta) works exactly how it's supposed to?
>>491802429I don't know which engine you're using, but could it be possible that you might be outpacing the callback with your keyboard spam? In that event, that means that just_pressed gets sent twice, while just_released only gets processed once afterwards.
>for this game to work the way I see it in my head I still have dozens of spells to add, and various UI systems to support them>so instead of doing that I'll fuck around making a test levelI did add a health bar though so that's almost like real progress.
>>491802429Firstly, use >_unhandled_input(event: InputEvent) instead of _input. This will allow any GUI/Control elements to grab/consume the input before it get to your game character.Secondly, you should use>event.is_action_pressed("sprint")and >event.is_action_released("sprint") instead of Input.is_action_just_pressed/released. This will check the actual event being propagated, rather than the state of the button.For more info: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/inputs/inputevent.html

IMO, the most practical split for this general would be an "/apgg/ - Aspiring Professional Gamedev General". This would be a split along the "soul vs slop" philosophical lines. The /apgg/ general could take all the market analysis and technical question posts with it, as well as the crying, banter, depressionposts, ritualposts, etc. Basically, all the stuff that the /v/tard nodevs hate./agdg/ could keep all the "soulful" progress posts.

>>491808071>>491807627NTA; from my time with romhacking Super Metroid, I've learned a lot about how they handle it. There's tile and subtile (pixel) precision for position and velocity in the game. Every suit and liquid combination (normal, varia, gravity vs water, lava, acid) has its own movement/physics acceleration table. It's pretty fascinating stuffThe xray visor is extremely hacky and its a miracle it works at all. The SNES has instructions for per-scanline graphics operations that happen at the end of the draw cycle

I might as well post progress while I'm hereProgress ::>Made a debug map to start fixing the werewolf's AI. Fixed: Her special jump move not working, her being scared of heights and not jumping down pits even if the player is down there, her and other enemies not knowing what to do if there is no valid jump path towards the player, the wolf-girl not knowing how to attack obstructions (these bushes) if they get in the way.>Also gave Enemies the same reaction to the Hypnosis debuff where at 5 stacks they move towards the attacker.

>>491811638these magicavoxel renders are just passable, but they're using post-processing and not real-time Barony looks moderately good, I suppose. the problem with voxels is that they're severely limited to always looking cartoony, unless you go absolutely insane with the scale to the point where you can't make out the individual cubes (like people do with pretty magicavoxel renders of entire landscapes)

2d software renderer progress:can now load and draw images, and also rotate and scale them. rotating + scaling properly is really hard so it still looks a bit buggy, but im confident ill be able to get it to mostly look decent eventually. there are several optimizations i can also do, because rotating specially is fairly expensive. one thing ive been thinking about is that when an image is loaded, i automatically rotate it for like 32 or 64 angles, and store the result of those rotations in 32 or 64 buffers, and then when draw_image is called from lua, i round the angle to the closest buffer and use the premade buffer instead of redoing the calculations all over. this wouldnt work well if you also had arbitrary scaling for each image going on, but for most assets in my games the scale for images tends to be fixed and not variable, so this is something that would work as an optimization. the next thing i wanna get right after i make the rotation look a bit better is the transformation matrix stack thing, so i can apply transformations in a nested manner to everything that i wanna draw to the screen

>>491817367Think of all the extra art you'd need if you went through with that
>>491817367There's literally nothing wrong with your idea, anon. VS-likes use cards all the time that you pick from. Cards are just an abstraction, not a set expectation.

Should I use Unity or Godot? I wanna make a 3d tower defense.I have only superficial experience with either engine.
you fags need to eat avocado, fish (omega 3) and banana, and do 5 minute cardio, and take a 20 minute nap at noon to be in top mental condition.
>>491817852download both and then decide for yourself, nigger.
>>491817514What extra work? I'd need some kind of icon, thumbnail or something to represent a spell. And some text to describe the spell.

>>491818041I have used both before for a day or so. Unity's downside is the confusion that comes from having basically two engines in one and the company might do something stupid. Godot has 3D support, but that's about the best thing you can say about it. Godot also makes me feel like this guy: >>491800938I'm here to ask for opinions from people with great experience using these engines. Surely a place full of talented devs would have a wealth of experience to share.
>>491819217>Surely a place full of talented devs would have a wealth of experience to share.Let me know when you find one
>>491815856Take a magnesium and a vitamin B supplement (the one that has all of them: B1, B2, B3, B6, B9, B12)
>>491819217just use unity 2017.4, before all the renderpipeline stuff, just forward and defered and it all just works
>>491808856but how many are Japanese cartoons?
>>491819217Godot is better if you're not a retard and can read the docs.Unity is better if you need extensive handholding, since some jeet will have made an exact tutorial for any kind of game you can come up with. No guarantees for if that tutorial is up to date or if you even learn anything by blindly following it.
>>491819326Here little bro>>>/g/102062659Just remember to behave yourself in the presence of kings.
>>491819564Enginedevs are autistic robots with no appreciation for beauty and no self-awareness. They are incapable of making games for complete beings, sorry to say.
>>491816734SHIT IS THIS REAL?MOJITO THE CAT IS IN TIMES SQUARE!!>>491819816>who don't appreciate beautyOne of my favorite films is Fantasia. Take that back you troglodyte.
>>491819217you suck someones cock for a cgpeers account then pirate whatever the fuck you want and can find from unity store/marketplace whatever the fuck it's called then you reverse engineer or just study it or even just fucking steal it for your game there's already 3d tower defense engine/templates you can just drag and drop into unity and start making a shitty game or maybe you have a lot of money or you're a cuck that likes paying for things you'll work on for a week or month then give up on I don't know but this is my honest advice even if it's spiteful and kind of shit and don't fucking tell me to use punctuation like a little faggot learn to read without periods bitch
>>491819217Godot is that way because it doesn't force you into a framework like rpg maker.The issue with such frameworks, is what if you want to make rpg maker with a 3D background, what if you want HD art, what if you want online?what if you want now an FPS, but now your idea becomes a VN, a tower defense.Godot real power comes from the fact it doesn't force you anything.It's weird, because godot main power is that gives you the tools to make anything, like how your imagine, perfectly crafted.But It ask you to get good.So godot simply request to get better at gamedev, unlike easier engines, which promise easy path, but that path is a trap that stunt your growth.
Now that the dust has settled, what went wrong?
>>491819479That's a good point, but does that actually improve anything? Couldn't I use the new version of Unity and just not use new features? The confusion mostly stems from the ability to search stuff online or read docs. That's not going to be easier whether I use an older version of the engine or not. >>491819558>Godot is better if you're not a retard and can read the docs.Even for 3D?>>491819326You're all talented in my heart.
>>491819217>I'm here to ask for opinions from people with great experience using these engines. Surely a place full of talented devs would have a wealth of experience to share.I used to use Unity, then they shit the bed and now I use Godot. I think that people who agonize over engine choice are retarded nodevs and need to just pick one. Toss a coin for all I care, just pick one and go make your game.

>>491820059Thank you for the advice, that is a good idea. I think I have one from like a decade ago. By the way, have you thought of using punctuation to level up your communication? HR would really appreciate it if you circled back on it. >>491820132It feels weird to me how much I have to touch noodly GUI stuff instead of connecting everything in code.>>491820236Government funding>>491820514That's a good point. Thanks.
>>491820239>Even for 3D?Godot's not missing anything in terms of technologies. It depends on what you want out of your engine. Unity and Unreal are going to have far more in the asset stores that you can buy and it'll "just work", while you might have to make an effort to port any assets to Godot, since most asset creators don't port assets specifically for Godot because it doesn't have a paid asset store.Also +1 to this >>491820514. Just like make game. Flip a coin if you must.
>>491808856Ok, I will post progress.

- 30 minutes changing the hover/click logic to be handled by the main script instead of the components themselves- 3 hours 30 minutes working on paths.Basically I just used Collisions shapes as AABBs and call a function every frame to deal with hover, with buildings being in front of paths so both aren't selected/clicked.For clicks, I use `_unhandled_input` so gui events in UIs aren't captured. For the path reveal shader, I show a percentage of the path like so: UV.x < pct * region_rect_x/100.0Where `region_rect_x` is a shader uniform I set and 100.0 is the size of my path textures. There's probably a more idiomatic way of doing this, but it works for now.The plan is that paths need to be 'built' in order to see/build on the node on the other side. Might also have upgrades for paths like triggering synergies on buildings, barricades, or other benefits.
Just a heads up, with Marmoreal about to release in a couple of hours, this thread is going to becoming even more insufferable and unusable. I recommend evacuating early, to escape the crowds.

>>491827670>How many characters are you planning on having?That depends of how well the development goes, but I have expectations to having more than 20 characters for a 1.0 version, I'm planning on making a demo for Steam Fest and after the fest ends, launch the game on early access to use whorever momentum I get from the event.The early access version will have minimum 4 to 8 characters and two fully finished maps minimum, then my work will be creating more characters and maps because I want that to be selling point: characters. If the players want me to make additional modes for the game, I will do my best to make them true As long as is something reasonable I can handle alone as a solodev>>491827291Yeah, I also love tummies.

Been going back and forth between these two resolutions.Left side: Pretty standard shmup aspect ratio, zoomed out view feels a little smoother/less pixely. Player has more space to move but more screen visible probably means more assets to fill it with variety.Right side: Little more claustrophobic, but everything feels more "substantial", right up in the action. Chunky pixels at full screen means I can't hide shitty/lazy art.

why the fuck do shadows in godot not work straight out of the box. embarrasing
>>491819479is there something in 2018 specifically that you want to avoid? after much experimentation I'm back to Unity 2019.4 LTS. so far I haven't run into any problems. I'm pretty sure I used a version close to this one in the past and also didn't have any of the RIDICULOUS problems that 2020 and beyond all have.so 2017 > 2018 or 2019 in your opinion?
>>491813038african civil war but with funny animals! make a spinoff for my game
>>491835497I haven't experimented much with newer versions, I recommended it just because I know it's still better than godot
I genuinely don't know what complaints people have with newer versions of Unity. I'm using 2022 and haven't had a single issue
>>491835496They do though. If you're going to cry about having to check a box to enable shadows, your skill issue is inoperable and might as well quit.>>491835867This is also just a skill issue for NGMI retards incapable of learning new things.>waaa new input system>waaa new render pipeline
>>491836116even checked they don't work properly. if something is too small it breaks the shadows.
i hope i'll be able to come up with some gameplay footage that doesn't look like shit soon. making something as big as an RTS is just so tiresome,especially when your only prior gamedev experience was a shitty top down shooter, but i'll get there.

I'm not smart but I am stubborn. GMI status?
>>491835867I once tried out Unity 2022. i created a new project and it instantly had errors or even crashed on trying to create the thing. that was all I needed to know. and no, I don't use experimental versions, it was marked as LTS.
>>491836946That sounds like the description of someone who gambles.
>>491837091your pc must be cursed
>>491837091works on my machine, did you try installing it correctly?
>>491835867It's mainly the fact they don't finish features, they keep introducing new stuff to impress shareholders and not gamedevs
>>491837510the fuck does that even mean? is there more than one way to install Unity nowadays? you just add it to the installs in Hub.
>become unity shareholder>only be impressed when they finish featureswhy wouldn't this work
>>491837613are you retarded or just acting that way?
>>491837613you'd never be impressed.but the majority of shareholders in """tech""" are always going to have no clue what they are holding.
>>491836817no I don't think so I'm not going to give up and I am going to make it. I am one of the best and brightest minds in this entire industry.
how's the recompiling times in newer unity?
marmoreally nigga
>>491835867I've heard complaints but I've never used one outside of attempting to upgrade. 2019 breaks my game. Furthest I can go is 2018.>>491837091Eww that sounds bad.
>>491838192can you do small jumps? 2018-2019-2020 etc? or is there a big change somewhere?
>>491836946Same. Thanks to being so stubborn I haven't given up on a game that might flop after all these years.>>491837609Nta but maybe one of those things where it got corrupted during the download? Technically, or so I've read, every time you make a backup of something there is a risk of corruption occurring to the backed up data. Which means backing up your game has a risk of the backup being corrupted.
>>491837870allegedly it's the same it has always been ONCE YOU REMOVE PACKAGES that didn't use to be included in every project.
>>491836116>skill issueNah the owners of Unity keep stopping development on stuff with promises of something new to replace it only to never finish the replacement so now you have neither. No thanks, I'd rather just use an old reliable version than to use something new. Not to mention I have no interest in Unity HUB.Tbh you just sound like you're seething, eat a snickers
Good morning agdgToday's the day
>>491838567most importantly old unity compile times were instantaneous, nowadays you make some change in your ide and come back and it makes you wait 10 minutes

>>491836116>waaa new render pipelinetry camera stacking with a rendertexture and check the CPU performance. URP is not production-ready. and HDRP just runs like shit no matter what you do. horrible performance right out of the box.
>>491838795
>>491839246You deserve it. Excited to play Marmoreal later.
>>491838338I started with a version that I am unsure was an LTS version. Their site is pretty bad at counting it as one or the other eg same version number but one is in the LTS section and one is not in the LTS section. Iirc there was a newer version where I downloaded them from different sections but had the same download name.I did two successful "major upgrades" went from 2018.3.x -> 2018.3.x -> 2018.4.36 which is the final LTS version available for 2018. I eventually reattempted going past 2018 but from 2018.4.36, it still failed, random stuff simply broken even though it showed no obvious signs as to why. If I recall correct,>random sprite being invisible even though it is attached in the prefab>animator randomly playing the wrong animation when walking around or continuing to play after I stopped>character randomly sliding around after I let go of the movement keysDidn't want to take the chance so I deleted the game and the newer Unity version. Then I copied a backup folder of my game to go back to my functional version. No intent of upgrading it ever again though, I intend to release this game using this version of Unity as it's new enough for what I want.

>>491833557>>491834660kek but i doubt there'd be that much talk on that. as it is most of the devs here seem to be euro's and south americans. very few north american's, japanese, or austrailians.
>>491840191>most of the devs here seem to be euro's and south americanseuros are innately histrionic and are much more likely to be discord fags and try to make themselves recognizable, devs from elsewhere in the world just work on their game.
I had this bug that's beeen annoying me for months where my player's feet would move and slide around during the idle animation, I thought it was a unity bug and after nothing worked I realized that it was a blender issue. Setting simplify to 0 instead of 1 in the animation tab on the export settings fixed it, the only downside is that my export size went from 9mb to 13mb but it's a fair tradeoff.
All this talk about different versions of engines and issues is the reason why I'm so paranoid about downloading the "right" version of the networking asset I want. After intense research I found about the absolute newest version I could use and vaguely an old version that is compatible. The problem now becomes whether I should go for one of the newer but still compatible versions or something not as new. On one hand something older allows me to upgrade should there be issues but on the other I've heard that this asset breaks stuff very easily when upgrading. Sadly they seem to have multiple major versions in a year so it makes it difficult on knowing which is best for me.>>491819479>just forward and deferedwhat does this mean?

>>491798968It's shit dude. Five guys beats it by five miles.
>>491841031Never upgrade Unity mid project is the goal for a lot of developers, finish your project on one version that has all you need. Assets can be a pain, so find ones that works with the version you have, stick with it and don't upgrade for newer versions of those assets.
>>491840120>Mom doesn't know I'm releasing my game, I don't want to give her false hope.Understandable. Does she even know the existence of your game? Hope it does well!
>>491842420I have no intents of upgrading the version further, the current choice of upgrading it for the second time was to give me options on the asset I want. The asset has a lot of options but it's poorly documented in terms of the compatibility. After heavy research on it and the second asset I didn't mention, I narrowed the choices. But now I'm scared of picking the wrong version. Like what if one has a major bug? Or if I should just pick one that is used by one of the tutorial videos I saw just so that I can follow along. I can only semi guess which is the best to go with.

>>491847223Concord's failure isn't exclusively because of the DEI characters, though it is a contributing factor.Concord is the very definition of corporate slop. They literally took Overwatch (an already failing product), gave it a reskin and called it a new game. No new novelty, no iteration on the genre or anything new.Sony was just trying to chase a trend and were 8 years too late. That being said, Concord COULD have been a hit, had the developers played their cards right. With a minor pivot, they could have made their money back with the following changes:- Sexy anglo / asian characters with slim figures / nice curves- Iteration on the genre -> throw in MOBA (like Deadlock) or throw in bullet heaven / roguelike (like VS)- Delete the live service modelBut who are we kidding. It's Sony.

To all the talentless parasites trash-talking MarmoDev, let me remind you: he’s a developer who’s 1000x better than you.
