You're likely thinking of something like an FPS/RTS hybrid, there have been attempts but those have been multiplayer. With modern engines and hardware it's certainly possible to get it done and I'd be very interested in that sort of thing too. Really the only tricky thing would be balance, I could easily see some kind of sci-fi sim being like that where you've got ship boarding and planetary combat among other things. DEI devs only care about pumping a live service scam out as fast as possible so it's down to indies to try out stuff like that and see if it sticks, I can see the potential.

I think I am getting the workflow better now for the UE5 raycasts.

Just caught Asmongold in fucking 4k on his recommended sidebar and I knew I recognised all of the music he's playing in the background. As suspected he's just grabbing music from big titles to sound atmospheric, I know they all mostly do it but it's hilarious how blatant it is and that they probably haven't played any of these games.

Something I've been thinking about deeply in relation to my own work in the UK with the online safety bill being put into action. I don't think it's viable to make video games here anymore in the slightest, or for that matter any kind of remotely 'controversial' media. Want boobs and violence in stuff? They'll claim it's misogyny or it's porn and shut you down, I can feel it. It's all because the devs are going to have to comply whether they want to or not which is why I'm seriously considering Asia generally as a place to go to for my work because they won't give a fuck.

It's so fucking hot, no fucking joke right now.

10/10 GOTY, now to farm six figures from Blackrock.

Studying muh gun recoil for UE5, I think the HUD should be relatively easy to implement so I'm trying to find good materials to work from.

Definitely want to deal with my village workshop scaffolds, it's funny because the village expansion is the bigger problem but I feel like that infinite scaffolds are wrecking the gameplay flow quite a bit. I can see why with this sort of system you usually have limits, I just need to think a bit about how to keep track of what's in the workshop area, do a maximum of three and it may be that I just need collision checks. I can't have the checks be generic though, because if I implement multiplayer cheeky players could put objects in the village workshop area and break the production.

Wtf is with the UK lately and the weather? Seem to be getting pretty consistent heatwaves at the moment.

To be fair I'm getting very firmly into the nothing ever happens camp as well and it's a case of lol yeah I don't care how much my own country tries to outcast me enjoy Labour fucking you over another 4 years you stupid peasants I'm leaving.

Even the normies didn't fall for the Russian dossier.

Think I've stopped sperging now, I'm mainly grumpy because of me waking up for nothing.

Socialised medicine is a communist perpetuated pipe dream America, don't fall for it and come up with something better.

Will calm down after it but my healthcare related crashout right now is real LOL, I'm so grateful I don't have any serious conditions.
