@_Shinyodd_ @BlackPanthaaYT well it was, you started your rise there, no?

@BlackPanthaaYT God I kinda miss the FH2 YouTube days
Used to watch just about every active racing game channel on the platform for that shit back then 🔥
Telling myself that FH3 was gonna be my turn 🥺

Fun fact
I bought an Xbox for Forza Horizon 2 just to be able to make the BMW M3 GTR when NFS was in the toilet
Videos from TC9700 and DomesticMango come to mind

gecen yeni bir ekip ile gorustum, genc girisimci programi kapanmadan yetiselim diyip sirket kurmuslar
birkac ay sonra 'biz zaten o programi durduracaktik' diyip iptal etmisler haklarini, bagkur borcu cikmis, beni arayip 'abi amerikada nasil sirket acariz' diye soruyorlar simdi
bu ulkenin siyasileri bu ulkeden bi sey cikmasini istemiyor, iyi niyetli degiller, gelecege dair bir planlari varsa bu plan bu ulkenin iyiligini icermiyor

Jahrein, oyuncuların ve oyun geliştiricilerinin siyasi arenada el üstünde tutulmamasının ülkedeki gençleri siyasilere nasıl küstürdüğünü anlattı. “Bizim gibi insanları bu ülkeye küstürtmeyin. Ben dünyaya satacak oyunlar yapacağım. Dora "Stratera" Özsoy'u küstürdünüz de ne oldu? Adam Amerika'ya yerleşti. Bütün vergisini oraya veriyor. Hayvan gibi cirosu var. Türkiye'de olsa bu ülkeye katma değer değil miydi o? Milyonlarca dolar kazanıyor şuan? Bu ülkenin Dora'yı kaybetmesi iyi mi oldu? Bu ülkenin siyasilerinin Dora gibi, benim gibi globale iş yapacak adamları el üstünde tutması lazım. Bir ülke böyle kalkınır. Ben açayım şirketimi, 50 tane Türk yazılımcı olsun bende çalışsın. "Türk başarısı" desinler. "Türkiye'den çıktı oyun" desinler. Ben bunun savaşı içindeyim. Vergimi Türkiye'ye vereyim. Benim gibi genç çocuklar gelsin benim arkamdan, onlar daha iyisini yapsın. Polonya, Çek Cumhuriyeti yapıyor. Biz niye yapamayalım. Dünyanın en kolay işi oyun yapmak. Kolaydan kastım; lojistik olarak, ham madde olarak. Diğer sektörlerdeki zorlukları paylaşmıyorsun. Sıkmayın artık boğazımızı Türkiye'den. Hem iktidara, hem muhalefete söylüyorum; çok yanlış yoldasınız. Bu ülkenin pırıl pırıl gelecek vaat eden gençlerinin önünü kesmeyin.”

Okay so I made a bit of progress with the automatic spline making system. By using a rather janky geometry node in blender set up I'm able to generate waypoints to for the spline creator that preserves the unique rotation of each waypoint, resulting in a smoother spline. It may not seem like much, but the orientation of each node has an impact with the drift mechanic. Still need to iron out some kinks, but so far so good.

Being Turkish & getting srs in 2019, maybe that itself was a golden age for online comms, but I was so excited to be in the west and attend events etc. All of that got delayed w/ covid, and half didn't return after. Now it feels like we have a second big wave of entropy.

Don't fear making a 2 week game. Those 8 months will be the most fulfilling 2 years of your life!
English
@__silent_ oh true, few get hired for that. All I ever did in that sphere was getting an automation credit for giving them the code to have backfire on beamng, nothing remotely like your silentpatch work
English
@OKSoft_Games I guess not many started by fixing the bugs they reported as users/players
English
This is *literally* how I started in my current job:
"OK, you reported X, Y, Z to us and said you think it's not difficult, so how would you fix those now that you have access to the codebase?"
Sekii@SekiiEv
@__silent_ Besides, letting new hires fix low-impact bugs seems like a good way to learn how the codebase works

@Textilismusic God, even in a ps1 style this will be such a big undertaking. Best of luck! I am currently procrastinating my own tracks/city
English
Slowly but surely Angel City will be built, brick by brick. I've had hella IRL business to deal with but I can squeeze out a building every now and again, and if they are in the same shopping center or street I can use a building as a template and change some things around. Sure... It may be samey looking if you really look... But hopefully when this is done I'll have plenty of buildings to populate my tracks with.

Where do game devs get royalty free sound effects? Most sounds on Freesound dot org suck and I'm going crazy
English
@burgeoisiee true, though the indie scene is growing and the genre's niche nature does provide a good minimum bar you get, and there's a larger audience that's tappable. I for one welcome fh6, as I work on my own title.

racing game players can be so picky and choosey and miserable. racings games are a dying genre and forza is the most accessible arcade racer that isn't mariokart brother. it's a game that will create new car people. Forza's success only breathes life into the genre.
English
@Textilismusic sorry, is this a mod or automation work? idk of any way to get to 16k in even remotely stock autobeam

@time_extend @GamerAlexVideos Whete are you finding these charts? all I have is some boxleiter method informed guesses.
English
@GamerAlexVideos I admire the optimism but sales charts are available across all major platforms and it ain't pretty, sadly.
English
It does look concerning, but I'd be curious to see what the actual sales numbers are since its hard to gauge it from just player counts and reviews. We used to rather accurate ownership numbers from Steam, but they had changed something a while back that messed this up.

Screamer hasn't been a hit out of the gate, with middling word of mouth and a very low player count for a new release. A sign of the times in terms of the appetite for full-price AAA arcade racing games that aren't Horizon; or a confused release strategy from Milestone?
English
@time_extend I would expect it to grow pretty quickly into a "iykyk" game, a cult classic, and generate years of not insignificant returns for milestone, hopefully justify a sequel.
English
@time_extend wrote a whole mini thread about this, but I think active players isnt the right metric and racing games work very differently in the market than say, a live service fps. I think its alarmist to declare it a fail, but it is not a hit neither, as you say.

Milestone also has other games they made and released while doing Screamer, so this isn't their one bet, and their studio costs were also split across multiple titles. I wont give you numerican revenue estimates, but it's possible they are already in proft, which I hope for.
English
The game probably will be selling better on console than it does PC, and as it falls in price and generates more low-rumble buzz amongst what is a tight knit community starved for new, fresh racing games, I figure it will offset the price drops with the extra sales.
English
Screamer will grow over time is my analysis. As someone doing a lot of genre analysis for my upcoming game, a lot of people look at the wrong factors for racers. 🧵
