I was thinking more office liquidation. Apparently, you can get some of those fancy ergonomic office chairs for cheap if a startup shuts down n stuff. I didn't think of factories at all but I guess you could snag some cool fixtures/machines from them.

Estate sales and auctions are a great way to find older furniture and sometimes some nice hobby materials/tools. I've also heard that business liquidation sales are a great place to get stuff as well, but I've never been to one.

I think we will see the a shift in a portion of the gaming community towards curated lists of quality games spread through word of mouth. There will still be the general public who will buy whatever, but that market will likely be saturated with AI slop and hard to stand out in.

Kinda like a sprite sheet or flip book but applied to the UVs of the mouth/eyes/face.

How I've seen it done before is that the expressions are a separate decal texture layered on top of the main texture using the shader. The expressions are all on the same texture, offsetting the texture lets different expressions show up.

All my friends can't be asked to learn the moba part of the game. They just play the street brawl mode exclusively.

Isn't there a way to link blender files together? Maybe you could set up a file to check the full build, but be able to open individual sections when you need to work on them.

Very low poly models like this can sometimes look a bit funky in certain poses when rigged, so don't beat yourself up too much over your first go at this.

At least game devs might be able to go back to using AI as the terminology for npc/entity behaviors/pathfinding without people getting it confused with the slop machines.

Someone mentioned that arguments/debates in comment sections is just turn based PvP. I always think about it when I see it happening.

It's just missing the 20 panels of the pizza getting sent back to be Remade because it isn't quite right. Then the tech bros will say it's handcrafted with their own blood, sweat, and tears and that it took "ages" and "tons of effort" to refine the pizza to this state.

I don't know much about wii shovel ware, but I'd assume the motion controls also make the games much more memorable because of the many ways they go about implementing the motion controls.

I didn't really see the impact frames on my first glance through, those are good but they seem to lack much impact right now.

They added a tetherball gamemode to Rivals of Aether. It's a surprisingly fun when combined with the mechanics of Rivals of Aether (a 2d platform fighter). I think if you ham it up a bit (hit stun, effects, etc) it'll look a lot more fun amd exciting.

You can paint face corners in blender. It's much more tedious than what you've got built here. You use face select to select faces, then paint the vertices you want. It'll apply paint only to the selected faces/face corners. If I want to copy your vid, I'd have to slowly paint each face separately.

I mean, you aren't wrong. Its "Human Male on Female Anthro" and mainly comes from a 4chan thread of the same name. The main demographic is about how you'd expect from that.

They need to put a warning sign there. People are still going to fall there, but it will be even funnier because they were warned first.

Would a trying a wildly different style for fun be a good reason/excuse to allow yourself to be "messier"?

I can understand spaghetti when you are initially prototyping and making rapid changes, but people should at least take some time to clean things up when things are more nailed down. I personally work with geonodes in blender and extensively use their frames/panels to keep my spaghetti organized.

That will hopefully be my plan. I need to get a workable demo to see if I actually find it fun and then focus on the core. There's just so many "nice/want to haves" that I keep adding to the planning doc.

I've already massively overscoped a game idea I had and I barely even started working on it. Already reaching peak levels of beginner solo indie dev /s.

I tried to do this to show off my collection of backpack trinkets but they were too tall. This looks so much better with the shorter items.

Just built a new computer, but I'll be testing anything I make on my two older laptops. If it can run on the laptop with a 970m it should be fine. I'll be cutting out those who run igpus and some older GPUs, but I feel like most modern gamers should have better specs than that laptop I got in 2015.

Cloning is another big one I like to think about. Being able to multithread your life would be insane. It's up there alongside shapeshifting for me.

Pretty good for a learning attempt. As others have said, the dimples and other weirdness is likely from the subdivision creating high density areas. If you want some stuff to research later, you can look up n-poles/e-poles and edge/loop flow. These are more advanced topics, but I find them useful.

When I don't feel like socializing I like to just sit around the edges of the raves and just listen to the music. If I'm not in a music mood I like to visit different worlds/games people have made to play or take photos. VRChat may have chat in the name but you aren't required to talk.

It's a compromise, it's not as performant as using a 256 texture would be, but it gets me the look I want without having to use those stupid 4-8k normal maps.

I personally use 512-1k tiled textures. At the same "density" a tile would cover 4-16x the area of a 256 texture. I can fit a little more variation into the texture and avoid using stochastic sampling which doesn't always play nice with the type of textures I use.

Been trying something similar, but separating muscles groups into separate meshes and adding actual bone meshes to check origins and insertion points. I've been obsessing over the shoulder area, but if I keep it up, I might have a full skeleton in time for Halloween 😂.
I don't really know how to write this descriptive alt text stuff, I'm gonna try and write it like I'd write my reports in college :). Hope it doesn't read too sterile.

3D model block-out of a humanoid character in the 3d modeling software blender. Several meshes in the shape of bones are highlighted within the model. A couple sections of the model are in different colors highlighting different muscle groups that make up the model.

90% of people would play like 15 minutes of the game and drop it thinking it was just another bland brown 3rd person shooter. The way the game starts out as a very generic shooter is both the best thing and worst thing the game did for drawing in the player.

Same. Did you use the laser for the one in offices? It was weirdly inconsistent when I tried. Once it killed really quickly, another time it took several minutes of looping. There is also the one by manufacturing entrance, haven't thought of a good stray for that one yet.

The only real downside of piracy is that the game "performs poorly" to the bean counters and future games from the company may not get greenlit. The devs are already paid for their work, you don't support the parent company that you don't like, you still get to experience the game. It's mostly good

Animators and other cpu heavy tasks are definitely the limiting factor on my rig. My gpu chills while my cpu is running flat out in packed instances.

Fireflies are so pretty. Haven't seen them in forever, but I remember noticing them the most in the corners of my vision since there usually wouldn't be too many of them.

They mean Deadlock. Makes sense to me, people who would only play TF2 would find Deadlock a much more approachable game for them (shooting guns n movement tech n stuff). Even though Dota came first.

Afflicted myself with poster's madness by staring too long at my OCs. I need to put them into Situations. They must be faced with Dilemmas. Stuffed into the Narrative Device.
