@Undead Mockingbird hitler and Mosley where cousins?
Sounds boring af
Yes, it is. It's like learning years later how all your favorite games worked on the inside, years later.
It's kind of like digging up a loved on from the graveyard and performing an autopsy.
KInd of.
Why delve into codes, you could actually play a game instead
Just better, of course.
Because it's interesting
It's amazing to see how it all worked in the background.
TO understand BSP, binary partitioning of space, how to build an engine, to tinker with it, etc.
Yeah, I guess it probably looked better than them 4 bit graphics too
It's interesting how all the basics pretty much still apply to modern engines.
The approach to engine design, collision detection, etc. hasn't change that drastically.
And, of course, you can do hilarious stuff, like mess with the AI or physics.
Sounds boring
Play the game instead
Well, somebody in the world has to find it interesting enough to build it.
I don't actually play many games anymore.
I find it much more satisfying to create.
Building games in Unity is really like a game itself.
It's super quick and easy to create really wacky things.
thank you `cp -ruv`
my new favorite command
Sometimes I have a crazy idea, I see what it would be like, and I sit down and program it in Unity for an hour or so.
I put it online, have a good laugh, and move on.
I do that with meme sites
🤔
Oh, yes. Unreal is pretty much the gold standard now.
but I don't have the skill in Unity to make joke games
It's amazing what kind of eye candy they can produce.
Must be becuase yall are old
@Undead Mockingbird have you tried making a game with the source engine?
I have made mods for source engine based games, but never an entire game, no.
Goddamn, that's good looking
I am not sure, but I think I might have to license it to do so.
And yet none of yall have ever heard of star citizen
I find it incredibly fascinating to build these kind of things.
Just playing a game is boring to me.
