before anyone gets on my case about this, i understand that these games need to sell more and more copies with each release. i understand why they do this. i wish more games would go against the grain. i don’t think its a bad thing to have your customers buy every product in a line of products.

i’m really tired of playing a game and feeling like i’m playing through a really long tutorial. monster hunter wilds is guilty of this. i’ve played every monster hunter game at this point. it’s frustrating feeling like im playing the game on baby mode until halfway through the expansion every time.

i would prefer if more games should expect you to play the previous ones. books expect you to do it, many movies expect you to do it. i want more devs to treat sequels like they do expansions. soon after the beginning, the content should be harder and expect more from me than the previous game.

they’ve maybe heard of palantir once

chris o @akiragamedev.bsky.social · 25/09/2025

do they also spit it up somewhere random, free of charge?

Hey, my fellow senior engineers? We’re load-bearing and often get to say LOL NO FUCK YOU to those kinds of things despite policies, so make sure you do that and not in a “fuck you got mine” kind of way. Stand with juniors, more “replaceable” crafts and disabled colleagues, thanks

i have an ironclad mental. it’s insane the emotional resiliency i gained from playing dark souls in middle school. it prepared me so perfectly to be a software engineer, and deal with the problems that arise in said field.

i feel similar. after trying to find a better job for a couple years, i’ve decided to start applying outside of the industry, too. turns out it’s just brutal everywhere.

Yeah, buddy! It’s a lot of shader and camera work to get it to look that way, but it’s all rendered in Unreal. The “unreal look” is just a result of people using a lot of Unreal’s out of the box visuals. At the end of the day, an Unreal Engine game can look like anything with enough work.

it took us SOOOO long to figure out an efficient linear content pipeline in unreal, and it’s constantly evolving. it’s been a fun challenge figuring out the pipeline and tooling to get this thing out the door as painlessly as possible.
