As of posting this 12 of his 20 recent posts are cancer.

Before posting this, to give you a nice comparison, 18 of my 20 posts actually contributed to a conversation at hand (other 2, now 3 sadly as of this, calling out Alex)

says alot, doesn't it?

The most anticipated game of 2016!

I can do a real game with the cryengine sandbox editor in 6 months than you in your entire live.

I could believe this actually, (not like a full game, but you know what I mean) but cryengine is a disgusting engine, use UE4.

I would like to see ce work on android like the guy that made doom 3 work

CryEngine sucks. the only good thing it has is water. nothing else.

Don't make the same mistake as me and just don't make a fan-made halo game as of yet Alex, everybody needs a strong amount of knowledge before it can tackle a franchise as halo

For a myriad of reasons really. You can check our main page to get a good idea of why. A good example is that, for the 4-6(?) years that the old game was being made in cryengine, we accomplished all of that and more in roughly a year and 3 month's time in unreal. It functions significantly better than what we had in the previous iteration and required much less work.

CE doesn't suck, its just limited due to being old. Go look at what Lag/Ifafudafi said about TSC:E. The issues that they had with it were things that would have taken minutes to an hour to fix in a modern engine, yet took months to fix on CE. Don't get me wrong, CE is fun to mess with and a good starting point, but its so old that trying to push features into it is a lot harder than it should be.

Really, if you want to use unreal or cryengine you need to be a good artist, it just looks awkward if you put bad/average models in a high-graphics scenario

Just start with 2D or something, game maker is the best way to start ;)

Havent used lumberyard but I hear it crashes a lot.

As for taking months to get something to look right. That's sort of subjective. Sure if you want to make something look nice and fancy it's going to take a while. The reason that it takes a day in CryEngine is because you're so limited that you give up and just deal with the sub-par setup you get at the end of the day. UE4 at the very least lets you modify and even create custom shaders and materials so you can perfect the way you want your stuff to look.

Sidelining that, global illumination is a pretty hard thing to have in realtime. CryEngine doesn't have it either. It has a realtime sky but that's probably the extent of it. Any artist with a discerning eye will constantly scrutinize their own work until they settle for the image that closest to what's in their heads. That's really where the "months" things comes into play.



"High-graphics scenario" firstly isn't a real term. Secondly is completely subjective from what you're saying. You can have low poly-dense models in your project and have it work flawlessly in UE4, namely for the fact that you have the option to stylize everything. You can sort of do this in CryEngine but it takes significantly more effort to do so.

Realize that your engine should not dictate what kind of style or graphical fidelity you wish to use. The only real limitation should be drawcalls and render space, both of which have the minor alleviation of minimum spec. UE4 gives you this freedom as it can render polygons with rather decent optimization and the overall visual fidelity isn't too hard to mess with. CryEngine locks your visual fidelity but allows a significantly higher polygon budget.

Game maker locks you to strictly 2D, to which you would honestly be better off using flash. Don't bring up Game Maker 3D btw, its really pointless and probably more work to use it than to make something in flash or even blam

"Just start with 2D or something, game maker is the best way to start ;)" I didn't mention him using game maker for 3D, and the only reason I like using 3D in game maker is because you start with nearly nothing for 3D in game maker, and it's fun to find out yourself how all the 3D effects work :)

And let's be honest, there are more popular game maker games on the market then flash games, so no, flash isn't really better

Why would you quote a giant post and then not use it but instead use quotation marks in your own post.

What is wrong with you.

Don't go full edgy sketchy



"Why would I do that? There are already thousands of beginner friendly tutorials on YouTube and Udemy. It helps that Unreal has an easy to use interface. If I had a gun pointed to my head and had to choose between learning UE4 or Gamemaker. I would learn UE4 because it's easy and has 20x better graphics than GameMaker."

The reason why you should start with 2D is because 3D asks a lot more effort in art, this way you will have more time for other aspects of game development, especially game design

Game maker is great for beginners in 2D because programming and art are both easy to start with, this way you can pay attention to all aspects of game development, you can always switch over to UE4 later on

You clearly have never been to newgrounds



Srsly? That's not even edgy. That's a legitimate remark.



Wrong on so many levels there. You can put close to no effort into 3D's art and make it work fine. This is called doing blockouts. 2D and 3D Game design is completely different and the mechanics you use in one does not necessarially transfer over well to the other. That fact is proven through 3D platforming, which is leagues different than classic 2D.

Also, 2D generally requires more art than 3D and significantly more effort (unless you're using sprites which reduces it slightly). And as another thing, you can use UE4's Paper2D if you wanted to work on something based in 2D, and use blueprints to prototype code before you're ready to get anywhere. Switching from one medium to the other isn't easy, and considering its something we just did, I'm pretty acutely aware of this fact.

The way he said it was edgy and annoying

And we both won't agree with eachother on this, so if Alex wants to start using UE4 I'll let him use UE4, but he'll probably lose motivation soon because it's way harder to make games in unity, this way you won't achieve goals as fast as in game maker so he doesn't feel satisfied with what he does (speaking out of experience)

And Newgrounds games aren't really steam-quality-like, game maker games actually are

The real best enjin is excel. I've made an entire game on it. And noi don't mean EVE Online, but that too

Pfffft amateurs. Ms Paint njin is where it's at.

Really nice paint drawing though

Subject to change.

Yeah that's what subject to change means...........

hey idiots im working on a brand new F Zero game, should be out sometime next week and will feature AAAA standard everything prease enjoy

Although I agree, dude, you can't promote a project that hasn't been started yet. Rather than promotion, if want opinions on your development idea, go to the Epic Forums and post there about concept. Rather than coming here and promoting a piece of paper with magical ink that only morons can see.

On the other hand, a Halo game made in the Unreal Engine would be a cool idea. The only problem in this case would be that setting up Dedicated servers with UE4 is much more difficult than with UE3, and considering it wouldn't take much at all to make a fan made Halo in UE3 (It comes packaged with UT code), I don't see why it couldn't happen. You just wouldn't be the one to do it.

Dude, you have 4GB's of RAM and you have that many windows open?

Wtf I have twice as much memory as you and I rarely keep more than 3 open.

plebians.

Ur my new render server. Congrats!

Dude, those drumstick models are absolutely wicked!

Sean do you even wireframe?

I always wanted somebody for that aswell xD

EYY! skidbabe is my bitch. Find ur own!
