Unity Completed Stationmaster [v1.1] [StationmasterDev]

[StationmasterDev]

I don't think I'm going to release any playable version of SM2 before 0.1. Getting that stable is hard enough without having to do the regression testing again after a tech demo.

I'm pretty sure the big leak in SM1 was the character engine, which I couldn't edit because it was a compiled library I licensed. That's totally gone now in favor of a custom solution, so it should be considerably improved.

There is stuff in SM1 that's unlocked by research. I think that's under the station management screen.

Character library was licensed? Interesting. Blackboxes can be problematic.

 

[StationmasterDev]

Yeah. It was definitely the best-looking one on the asset store, but it didn't scale very well (and had some pretty crazy bugs). This custom one is a lot more suitable for this kind of game.

Which library was the bad one?

 

[StationmasterDev]

MCS. I wouldn't say it was terrible, but it had some flaws. It's no longer available since the company decided to go a different direction with it.

Does the unreal engine not work or am I misunderstanding this entire conversation?

 

[StationmasterDev]

I'm using Unity because it's what I know. The switch to Unreal would be a little much.

hello, is it normal that all citizens are bald?

In the future, the Picard look is popular.

It shouldn't be all citizens. Something might be wrong.

What do you think the tech specs will be?I looking to get a newer laptop, but I don;t want to break the bank

This probably has more to do with the bad optimization in SM1, but I don't think SM2 will require anywhere near as much power. I don't have a good way of testing that though. All I can say for sure is that it runs better on my machine (I can run the game alongside a bitcoin miner at a reasonable framerate on an RTX 2080, for whatever that's worth).

If I had to guess, I would say that any reasonable CPU with at least a GTX 1050 (or similar) should be enough (especially if you build your station up instead of out). I can't commit to anything just yet though.

Might be worth understanding, performance isn't much of an issue if there is no game yet. Let's wait until 0.1.

There is no native cheat option. What cheat option are you trying to do?

Based on the files,

You can use the cheat when:

1. inspecting a baby in a vat
2. pressing ~ on your keyboard

So can a female station master get knocked up?

 

[StationmasterDev]

I'm pretty sure I remember building that, but I'm not sure if it works anymore.

Please make UI scalable in the new one.
Playing it on a 4k display was absolutely miserable.

 

[Harabec]

Well, I'm glad this chat is still ongoing. And I have a pretty powerful machine if you want any playtesters cuz I'm pretty good at finding bugs and a true expert at moaning about them!
