dev day 588: My game now generated random missions. On top of that I built a web interface for writing text for generating a matching mission name and briefing based on the random parameters. #indiegamedev #gamedesign #buildinpublic

@BikeMan { } is having an affair with < His evil twin, ( ) is up to no good! And dont get me started on the <.>'s!

@StasisGame I just want to know what the characters have been up to.

Its really weird to see people acting like Unreal 6 is like... the sequel to Unreal 5. Its just another point release.

It would have been cool to see Homelander actually go bezerk - but I mostly liked how it ended. The past 2 seasons of The Boys definitely did dip a lot - but the actors were always fantastic, and in that aspect, the finale worked for me.

I miss when the future felt both possible but also unattainable.

I really do feel that the vast majority of new tools we have to work with (nanite style geometry and realtime GI) are 100% production tools that happen to look good, rather than the other way round. That said, I love a mid poly workflow and get a stupid amount of satisfaction from a neat balanced and good light bake.

Non gamedev people have no idea how much easier lumen or rtgi makes development, and i say that as someone who decided not to use it. an average person would fucking crash out if they found out what it takes to make a game with good lighting in old fashioned ways.

@Alyssasanicle This seems both real AND legit.

@StasisGame Inbox me with your payment method for bills and rent or food stuff gift ❤️ this real and legit

Ok - Hear me out... 007'S

Hope everyone is ready to knuckle down and have an amazing week! Hug your loved ones, phone your parents - drink good coffee - do good work, make cool shit!

I love that this little WIP from our conversation engine looks like a cool 'behind the scenes' photo from a movie. :D

Yeah - I think that its sort of the idea that its a mathematical calculation of quality is where the disconnect comes in. Most people have had numbers be a definitive 'SCORE' in everything in life - as a way to measure against other things. School grades, sports scores, credit scores - and those are things that we trust to have some sort of objective truth behind them. So when we are shown a number that's higher or lower than another, it must mean that its COMPARITIVELY better or worse. I think that this could work in like a 'genre' way. Like I'm sure that certain racing games receiving high or low scores is beneficial when compared to other racing games - but its useless when comparing to a narrative RPG. Maybe reviews could have a game on 'either side' of the review. On the left you show what you consider the 'worst' of the genre, on the right what you consider the 'best' - and then the score smack in the middle. That way at least a person knows what the metric is of the score.

@StasisGame I've always just taken them as a critic's recommendation. I always think back to Metro 2033. A game that did not score well at release and has since become a major franchise. Critics I followed at the time liked it despite the flaws. I loved it.

What I’m getting from the arguments people are making today is that as a critic I need to think about every other game I reviewed as I think about the current game I’m reviewing to make sure they’re scored correctly even though they’re completely different experiences.

@KickdashGamer Yep. :D

@StasisGame oh wait you mean move the top of the pole to move the bottom of the pole, like a frictionless rod that presses a button at the other end, interesting

Situation 1 - A button on the moon, with a big pole attached to it, reaching back to Earth. Situation 2 - A button on the moon, connected to a button on Earth via radio. Which method be the faster way to press the button?

@KickdashGamer Could be either - but its gotta physically move to touch the button. :D

@StasisGame Depends if the pole features a fibre-optic cable or plain old copper

The fact that they didn't put him in fancy dress-robes is atrocious.

@Mini_Giants Only in the things that matter. :)

@StasisGame who are we referring to here? Arent you a billionaire yet?

I long to have enough money to be considered a plucky indie studio.

@BDisgusting Did you know that there is a trailer uploaded for this movie from 2016? Years before the movie even went into production? Its a time glitch. youtube.com/watch?v=4VI8G7…

NEW POSTER - PACIFICO will be the biggest Spanish-language sci-fi adventure film ever made. A group of travelers is stranded on an island in the Pacific where they struggle to escape an evil alien presence that has been hidden from mankind for centuries. THE ALIENS ARE US.

@QuiteDan @Hennejoe The only reason they left out squirrel was because it was an insta-death. So potent that your harddrive would just explode.
