Unreal Engine Project Extermination: Operation GroundZeroes [Phase 2 - 2023-07-16] [MATEYDEV]

the worst, open source software userbase can be the worst since money is usually not the motivator for the devs. People do that stuff in their free time if no company is invested in it. Usually a sense of community and collaboration is the only thing that is keeping it alive.
Which emulator project was it?

True but oh boy, I've seen the other hand of that too.
Power tripping 'devs'* latching onto a well established project and the only thing they really develop is a god complex...
Any time the community complained about changes that weren't wanted beyond the whim of some dev were met with smug "codebase is separate to the server" remark.
It got to a point where the player base started petitioning the server owner and admins to fork off the coders and run their own branch; fuck me the reaction of some of the worst 'devs'* was hilarious.
*(more like spotty students, some not even college students yet)

From the dev himself!
Alrighty then!

Yeah, btw, speaking of progress, you can see in that pitiful attempt at I don't know what from morenow (it took me way more than what I'm willing to admit to understand the troll meaning behind your nickname here), in not even a month after the previous release Matto has developed:

• New map assets and systems, specifically water based surface environment, dynamic sounds for steps and motion based on sueface
• Survival system with various status effects for the character, competed with items ingame to alter these stats
• Weather system that influences said stats
• Sound based sneaking so the monsters will hear you based on the surface you are on and what you are doing (and if you fire you'll see that you shouldn't have)
• Started to revamp the menus to accommodate new changes

And this was possible due to the system being ready to take these changes...

And, as expected, you have taken things out of context purposely removing the explanation given from the dev himself, to try and generate hate, something that I personally find pathetic and disgusting.

 

[FTFaceless]

If dev 100% sure this is gonna be "final form" of the game, then it's awesome. No complaints then. I was only expressed my concerns because current version of the game looks the most superior of all been done so far. It would be sad if it would be scrapped for some unforseen reason. There was no blaming or demanding in my previous comment. I apologize if it sounded offensive for some reason.

This actually doesn't look too bad. Combat is a bit janky but it's servicable.

I think more needs to be done with the porn elements of the porn game though.

for narrow-space movement and vault animations, created new animations to accomodate new pieces of environment while the world map is being built.

I've seen this kinda BS on WAAAAAY too many projects. The original creator has a vision, does the pitch and is successful. Then all the narcissists show up and...

"I want fishing in the game!!",

"I want dinosaurs that can fish in the game!!",

"I want futa dinosaurs that can fish in the game!!" etc..

and the dev folds like a bad poker hand, their vision is derailed and the project becomes a slow moving train wreck that grinds to a halt.

Most of our projects, we write for ourselves first, we build the tools we need or the games that we want to play. Devs seem to develop some kinda brain-rot and forget their original goal when they're exposed to social media platforms. It's sad to see. And the narcissists don't get that it's ok to suggest stuff that fits inside the original scope but making dumb out-of-context demands? Get out of here....

"Yeah, well... you go and write that game yourself. I'll wait" <---- (I've never seen a creator make that response yet...)

And then they come back with "I gave you my one dollar.. I command thee!!!"

Which is as absurd as buying a bus ticket and then demanding you drive the bus. You bought in to be a part of the journey...so sit down, talk quietly amongst yourselves and enjoy the ride ffs, or get off at the next stop.

So true. It's sad that people try to command dev teams with their money. Most of them can't even describe what they want in details, they say very abstract feedback like "guns shoot bad, game bad I want guns to be good". Where the fuck are details? What thing you want to improve on, which scope developer should take? That's not a feedback, that's dumb pointless complaint which leads absolutely nowhere. Hopefully Matto listens to feedback but still keeps his vision of the game intact.

I will just say this based on the demo in the first post.

Game seems to have a good foundation, I really dig the heavy feel to it, seems like stuff has weight, rather than being floaty.
The Adult stuff however... oh god, let me just say it reminded me of Gmod back in 2006/2007... That how sex scenes felt like, if someone was moving a pelvis back and forth with a phys gun and ragdolls doing rest due to physics... It's bad and needs a lot of work, as of right now it feels REALLY lifeless and artificial.

Due to that, I'm actually a lot more interested in SFW aspect of this game rather than NSFW.

Consider that the H-scenes in the game are currently placeholders just to test the various system and to give somewhat of an idea of what's to come; The whole NSFW aspect, or better the PORN aspect, is something that will be heavily worked on after the game foundations are in place.

 

[Viixby]

The game is perfectly fine and

This is what we wanted to hear!!! Nice. Look forward to it.

A good amount of preliminary worldbuilding stuff and general gameplay developments on this update, the game is shaping up to be more than just "accept mission - combat - get fucked by big bad boy mutant - complete mission"...you better off reading the patreon post, but here a TLDR:

Added

• first iteration of survival aspects of the game with basic needs; not too hardcore, just general management of your character, with hunger and body temperature;
• movement animation and interaction for new situations, like different idle animation for different weathers, and terrain, like vaulting over objects, traversing deeper water bodies and moving in narrow spaces;
• Tutorials and tooltips for the various icons and funcitons

 

[FTFaceless]

Now I wonder if there'll be "hazards" in deep water? Like you see bubbles on the surface, come closer and... surprise mzfkr!

Delta Zone has an underwater tentacle monster funnily enough. (It's another game like this one, Bioasshard, Yuna Reborn, and Too Much Light.)

With all probability, it has already been suggested when water was first added...also the dev has a thing for tentacles, so...

looks like Dayz but much better. Like it.

I like this game but I always have the same problem with games with a querty keyboard. I have an azerty keyboard and it's hard to move the character. Look how it's laid out on my keyboard.. What misery!
How I could do to put WASD in ZQSD?

Your problems will be solved when the option to customize keybindings will be added. the game has full controller support btw, so you can use one as a stopgap solution

just add QWERTY option to your windows settings like everyone else with a AZERTY keyboard.
