@UnityCodeMonkey That is just simply not true. Look my profile. My entire game is coded using this method. All c++. I run into an error then feeding the error and get it solved.

I see a lot of people worried that they're doing something wrong because they need to use Google when trying to solve some game dev or programming problem. My simple answer: Google is a great tool and using it is a perfectly natural part of the process! Don't worry about it. Especially if you're googling just because you don't remember the syntax, that is more than perfectly fine. As a programmer your task is to solve problems, not to memorize syntax. Personally I use google a lot, especially when working on something that is on the bleeding edge (like Unity DOTS) or another language (like PHP). The only thing you need to be cautious when using google is simply make sure you're NOT just blindly copy pasting code. If you do that then yes you're not using google properly, you're not learning anything, and it's only a matter of time until something breaks and you cannot solve it because you don't understand how it works. In essence google is just another tool, when used properly it is a great tool, when used badly it yields bad results. So yup absolutely use google to look for answers for any questions you have, but when you find a solution or answer make sure you spend time understanding WHY it works. That way you actually gain knowledge and the next time you come across that same problem you won't have issues solving it yourself. Best of luck!

@Grummz Totally earned.

CEO of Pearl Abyss hints that they might cross 5 Million units sold very soon.

@UnityCodeMonkey As an indie dev there are just too many aspects. So ive outsourced coding in c++ by using ai for my game. I still control the outcome but I do not have the time or resources to learn c languages. Its been working wonders for me so far. Even if it isnt standard practices orperfect

A lot of beginners complain about feelings of frustration when learning programming or game development. On that topic I would just say take it easy, take it slow, take your time. That's really it. Frustration is a natural part of learning literally anything, it is unavoidable. So if you're trying to learn something and you're feeling frustrated then that means you're doing everything fine, you'r not doing anything wrong. I find that those feelings of frustration usually come from unrealistic expectations. People who are complete beginners look at how I write my code in my videos or livestreams, and they feel frustrated because they don't have the knowledge that I have. But that makes no sense! You can't expect to start learning something and immediately have the experience of someone who has been doing it for decades. My advice is just focus on YOUR own learning journey, that's the only thing that matters. Don't compare yourself to anyone else, as long as you're learning a tiny bit every single day then you're doing great, just keep doing that and soon enough you will have the skills you want. The reason why I can do what I do is because I've been programming literally for over 25 years! Once you have as much experience as I have then things will be as easy for you as they are for me. Best of luck in your learning journey!

@Boxenberger Yes absolutely. Such a great reminder

Crimson Desert is a reminder of why I fell in love with video games in the first place...

@Knightly_Hist All I know is t he left is pretty good for crimson desert

Spot which one is AI slop (trick question)

@CharlesHorwood You just have to expect that in this arena. Its give and take. And sometimes life happens or focus shifts. I know its hard when you get ghosted but just come to expect that and dont put too much faith in relying on others

Just to add to this, everytime this happens to me, I am left in the dark wondering what I did wrong to the level of basically being ghosted without so much as an explanation, like if you don't have the time, well don't offer to help as you build excitement just to be let down.

Had a really rough night, don't have much left in the tank for today, I'm doubting if I'll continue gamedev, I have tried to ask for help, and although had quite a few offers over the past couple of years it always ends up me being forgotten and the help dries up and vanishes.

@marxier_ @GameAnim Yes you do. What are you even talking about. HLSL and C++ to bind them. If i dont want to use c++ in can code it with just the former using AI regardless. So idk what you are cope about

@SonsOfMarsUE @GameAnim You don’t use c++ to create shaders, unless you’re making your own engine 🤣

Nothing you made with Sora mattered. Nothing made with any AI prompt will ever matter. Instead, invest in yourself by learning real creative skills.

@marxier_ @GameAnim Yes it is. Thats why technical art is an actual profession. Shaders etc and so on. Also he said this Nothing made with any Al prompt will ever matter.. False

@SonsOfMarsUE @GameAnim Coding isn’t art

@Gnosisinformant Incredible

One of the greatest paintings of modern contemporary art today in my opinion. People on this app will say “art is dead” and point to Renaissance or Neo-Classical art and mourn that post-modernism has completely taken over and now all we have is concept art and photos of scrambled eggs on sidewalks that some rich college liberal kid did for his art degree. Well you just don’t know where to look! Also a Nietzschian inspired artist too! If you watch my videos you already recognized this painting from at least 35 videos. Here is an example of a modern oil painting from a contemporary artist. “Apollo & Dionysus” Leonid Ilyukhin, 2020 (I think that’s when the painting was finished) Orpheus is in the middle, the 9 Muses surround Apollo and 7 Satyrs & Maenads surround Dionysus. He even mentions that he got the concept from Friedrich Nietzsche’s Birth of Tragedy, the Apollonian & Dionysian. He gives all the details of how he made this paining on his art station page. He also has tons of other drawings and oil paintings shown on his instagram & facebook. leonid_ilyukhin.artstation.com/projects/4AxRn

Adding functionality to the Gual commander FINALLY. He now plays cat and mouse and commands volleys to hit players soldiers. and player can return the favor manually. still working on collision , and first iteration of block #indiegamedev #gamedev #ue5 #rome #gual

@Grummz Its such a great sandbox. Best time ive had in so many years

After announcing Crimson Desert selling 3 million copies, will this help their stock bounce back? That's a huge volume of sales in just a short time.

@BonesawMD Im mostly interested in seeing it speed up indies workflows in game dev and spread into the health field to lower costs and make more accurate and informed diagnosis that dont waste peoples precious time and money

I'm probably one of the few people who is happy to see people steadily have their jobs replaced by AI like this. Some days I salivate shamelessly if I think of it too much. Most jobs are filler & LARP. Made up and unnecessary. If you watch people work, you realise hardly anybody does anything and often they do it poorly anyway. I don't blame them. Why pour your blood, sweat, and tears into companies that don't value you, harvest your creative energy, and drain your life force? Many people reading this secretly know they're getting paid to do nothing for more than 85% of their 'working' day. Great civilisations of the past such as Ancient Greece could advance fields like geometry, philosophy, art, music, and engineering so immensely because people had idle time to think –– they didn't waste their entire day and peak consciousness pretending to be busy, doing mundane non-life affirming tasks. It'll look much worse until it gets better, but we may see an intellectual boom in our lifetime. An entire new economic landscape that rewards creativity and up-skilling. I am so bullish it's unreal.

@LegacyKillaHD @MRREDRED031 Yes thats correct. The foundations of it are top tier , the biggest issue is the lack of soul in the story. But you are so right it would have made this up there with the witcher 3.

@MRREDRED031 I have and I find it extremely dull/boring. Nothing is offensive about it, just that the characters lack personality. The story lacks pacing & structure. It's a dev with an MMO background and it's very much felt. Still, something they can work on for future titles.

Crimson Desert just hit "Very Positive" on Steam. And it makes sense. More you play, better it gets. It's kinda crazy that this game at least to me feels like it could be all-time great just with some far better writing because that really is what holds this back.

@TateTheTalisman What an extremely horrible take.

When freedom of speech was guaranteed to us all, mass anonymity of people who wish to engage in public conversation wasn't a thing. I honestly think that the old community standards of Twitter should come back. Insulting somebody? Banned. Racism? Banned. Homophobia? Banned. Unless you are a verified real person. Then and only then you can say anything you like. I know this post will get me hate, however I believe if you have something to say, say it with your chest, say it bravely and own the words you speak. The number of people who are unwilling to own their own words is worrying. Anon attack in 3... 2... 1...

@Knightly_Hist It is extremely good at what it does. A sandbox rpg. Very gamey in its tone and a lot of mechanical depth. Visually stunning

Do I need to play Crimson Desert..?

@Byzantium1200 Stop concerning yourself with people scared of a tool.

At the left is the 3D model of Herakles & Hydra I created for the Pera Museum's Hippodrome exhibition in 2010. And the right image is the version textured by AI. I think this is a fair use of AI (if you ignore the pattern added at the bottom, which can be removed easily).

@TheRabbitHole @elonmusk I really dont care about this. Grok cannot code and thats a problem

@Senninsage Vast majority of gamers wouldnt survive warband or bannerlord

Crimson Desert is revealing something about a lot of modern gamers that was also revealed in a way with Starfield. They need their hands held with lots of cinema level cutscenes and scripted events, or else they can't find any fun in certain games.
