Fixbeat, w Starfield review - a game about exploration, without exploration

Eh, Bethesda has always been incompetent at making games. Always full of promise, but so clunky and amateurish all the way back to Arena.

ProfessorProteus, w Unity will quietly waive controversial fees if developers switch to its ad monetisation service - report
@ProfessorProteus@lemmy.world avatar

I loathe seeing ads in any medium whatsoever, especially a medium I use for escaping this ad-filled apocalypse of a world we all live in. Why on Earth would I willingly force ads onto people who have generously supported me doing the thing I love most?

Disclaimer: I haven’t made any games yet, but someday “soon”…

mindbleach,

GB Jam starts tomorrow, if you want to bang out some four-color faux retro title in a hurry.

echodot,

It’ll be interesting to see how many games are made in unity. I suspect quite a lot will be actually because developers haven’t had time to learn anything new yet it’s been about 5 minutes. No doing that may screw them over long term so maybe they won’t.

smeg,

But MONEY! Don’t you want to make loads of MONEY? Here, watch this Unity developer video about how to squeeze MONEY out of those generous chumps who supported you! It’s the Unity way!

TechieDamien,

When “soon” comes, take a look at Godot. You won’t be screwed by them because it is FLOSS. Have fun!

echodot,

Can Godot compare to unity in terms of features? I admit the last time I looked at it was probably over 2 years ago but it was very bare bones and could only do 2D graphics. Since the project I was developing at the time was a 3D game I kind of ignored it after that.

CorruptBuddha,

2 years ago godot absolutely had 3d game development. You just go to the top, and click from 2d, to 3d.

sugar_in_your_tea,

The 3D demos are impressive, and the most recent release added a lot of features for 3D development, such as a Vulkan renderer and a bunch of lighting effects.

I’m no 3D game dev, but from what I’ve seen, it’s ready for smallish 3D games. I don’t think the performance is anywhere near Unreal, but it seems to be capable enough for most indie 3D titles.

dandi8,

Godot 4 is, apparently, a big rewrite and doing 3D shouldn't be a problem now.

ProfessorProteus,
@ProfessorProteus@lemmy.world avatar

What the other folks said. To add, there are several games made with Godot that look like they match Unity in terms of graphical fidelity. And if you’re a boomer like me who doesn’t care about graphics, there are cool games like Ex Zodiac

TechieDamien,

Godot 4 drastically improved the capabilities of godot, especially in the 3d realm. It isn’t perfect, but I would say it is about on par with unity in terms of features. Note that some of the more advanced stuff are in modules that you need go download within the editor. This was done to keep the core light while not sacrificing features.

ProfessorProteus,
@ProfessorProteus@lemmy.world avatar

Last night I uninstalled Un*ty and replaced it with Godot, so I’m very excited to start learning. It’s a little disappointing that it’s not as “capable” as other engines, but my conscience (and future expectations) will be clear. And besides, to me game dev is about expressing oneself artistically and not chasing numbers and metrics.

TechieDamien,

If there is something you want to do and it isn’t simple and you think it should be, there is a good chance that there is a module that adds that functionality. Good luck!

@ProfessorProteus@lemmy.world avatar

That’s great to hear. No sense in reinventing the wheel, especially if the wheel uses quaternions for its 6-DoF rotation 😂

Thanks, and good luck to you as well!

SurfinBird, w Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door | Nintendo Direct 9.14.2023

This game’s final boss kicked my butt and I will never get over it.

People chose a proprietary engine. They get what they fucking deserve

cryomancer20x6, w Games consoles are infuriatingly exempt from California's otherwise important new right to repair bill

I wonder where the Steam Deck falls since it can be used as a general computer, but the primary intended use is to play games.

Pika,
@Pika@sh.itjust.works avatar

game console for sure, as the rest of the have the capability as well but it’s general focus is gaming.

QuaternionsRock,

Can’t install a general computer OS on any other “console” out of the box though.

I wouldn’t expect Valve to have a problem with conforming to right-to-repair laws anyway. I have a hard time imagining they’re taking a bath on hardware that you can completely remove their storefront from.

Bluescluestoothpaste,

But general focus isn’t a specific legal term is it? Like what about gaming laptops? Isn’t that the same thing? I haven’t read the law so idk if it creates that specificity.

dumdum666, w Lessons Learned From Cyberpunk 2077's Terrible Launch And Hands-On With Phantom Liberty

So those people had lofty and unrealistic expectations, huh? I can only speak for myself and I can say: the game was ok - not great - but ok. The interesting Story helped me with the fact, that the city itself was essentially „dead“. But back to the expectations: Many of the really disappointed gamers expected a Cyberpunk GTA - which CD Project obviously did not deliver. Maybe those gamers will get a better experience soon - who knows.

Until then Cyberpunk will remain a stain on CDPRs reputation sheet for a lot of people.

Minnels,

This. I expected that walls were breakable and more interesting gear/level system in a world full of life. I had fun with the game since I did a lot of the hacking stuff which is a bit different from anything I have played.

I will revisit the game with the new patch since I have got a new graphics card since then and not tried a single raytracing game since then. Also looking forward to the updated skilltrees. % stuff is really boring and lazy design.

123, w Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Remastered Multiplayer Maps Detailed

So, the community was begging them to remake some of the maps for MW2 (2022) as some of these were already in the game in bigger game modes. The hold out was they were going to shove all of them into next entry instead.

DLSantini, w Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition is reportedly coming to PC

Finally. The first one, I waited and waited for it to get PC port before I played it. When Forbidden West came out, I traded a smart watch for a ps4 pro, got FW from Gamefly, finished the game, and then immediately resold the ps4. Been waiting for it to come to PC so I can finally buy it on Steam.

Is this whole thing a “Springtime for Hitler” esque plot?

Springtime for Johnny and Unity, autumn for Godot, Unreal

I kind of figured as much, still need to finish the first one though. Pretty good so far though!

gravitas_deficiency, w Games consoles are infuriatingly exempt from California's otherwise important new right to repair bill

Enterprising Greedy manufacturers will absolutely devise a way to classify computers, laptops, tablets, and phones as “game consoles”.

tristan,

HP tomorrow “introducing our new gaming inkjet printer”

gravitas_deficiency,

printer scanner, which requires ink cartridges to function

ClemaX,

At this point I think they will just sell them for less than 50$ and still earn as much money by shrinkflation.

spankinspinach, (edited ) w Lessons Learned From Cyberpunk 2077's Terrible Launch And Hands-On With Phantom Liberty

In a whimsical twist, I just popped my ps4 copy into my PS5 this last week to see how it had changed. I can tell you, it has VASTLY improved. The game on PS4 was constantly on limp mode, crashing somewhat often. Looked like junk, not much to redeem it. Managed to get through the whole game, but never really explored or adventured much past the story - was just too painful to try to do much more than that.

The PS5 version is actually so much better, and even visually reaching the point of impressive. The gameplay feels like I imagine they meant it to, including some fun gun- and knife-play. I’m also enjoying the story more now that I’m not constantly worrying about a crash. Do recommend a revisit if you’ve played and were disappointed (don’t worry, I recognize my PS5 may be what made the difference haha).

lustyargonian, w Star Wars Jedi: Survivor finally delivers the 60fps mode we should have had at launch

The SSR looks so bad in the pond area! If they just remove it it’ll look much better.
