Yep, loaded up the mod, got a stone axe and chopped down a tree... and a dragon started breathing on me. OK time to run, while on fire. Ran until I ran out of stamia and... dragon still on me. Was that his tree? Like a Smokey the Bear on crack... of course he's the one starting fires (me).

So anyway. I ran to the abyss and jumped in, thinking maybe its a lake (did I mention the huge hole it the ground? Tried to F12 screen shot it but no joy). So I fell maybe 100 meters and started bouncing up and down while the dragon kept breathing on me, out of range of melee, clever him, my 25 quality axe would have destroyed him!

Maybe needs a little work. Did I mention the errors in the command screen and the sound track that kept looping?

I think feedback for mods is probably best posted in their respective threads in the forums.

 
Take the time to thank a veteran today. Because of them, we live in a free country were following your dreams is possible.

If you dare to dream.

So take the time to remember our veterans for there sacrifices please. :)

Normally you would be right but given Guppy's rather vocal criticisms of TFP's work over the course of many years I think he deserves his day in sun... to be flambéed. :-)

 
*Trigger alert*
As a European, I reserve my judgment of US military policy :)

Tempting though it was to post a picture of a red-coat... we're not saluting national policy, we're saluting the massive ■■■■■■■s it takes to put your life on the line for something greater than yourself. Regardless of whether you're right or wrong that takes courage.

There's a lot of military in my family and I can't really claim that Britain has had a great track record of morally justifiable wars in recent decades (the reason I didn't sign up).

Didn't your lot sail a ship up the Thames and take a shot at parliament recently?*

*European recently... which spans the last 300 years. :-)

Hehe, you're right. We burned their ships right under their noses :) Then again, karma hit, and we were forced to trade a piece of prime real estate (backwater island of Manhattan) for a piece of jungle were one would be able to grow nutmegs!

And of course it takes ■■■■■■■s to put your life on the line for something greater than yourself. That can (often) be honourable. But it's difficult to judge whether the individual soldier is right or wrong. There is, for example, no such national Veterans Day here in Germany. Why would there?

Plus there are a lot of different professions who put their life on the line for the greater good of the society. Case in point, teachers in the US.

Lol, I ain't skeered. =) Wyvern nest being disturbed when you chop a tree shouldn't be happening in the spawn biome though, neat.

 
I've been watching some Unity 2018.1 development video's specifically featuring HDRP and the only thing I can say is WOW.

You guys should take 10 min and check out this video, however if you don't I will sum it up for you by saying we are in for a treat if The Fun Pimps decide to move forward using HDRP.

Not right now for sure. SRP is beta, not ready for production yet and not covered by regular unity support yet.

Cheers

Would you rather have better graphics or more features and less bugs? There's a limited team working on the game and not everything can be done at once.

Also be wary of tech-demos, they're usually just smoke and mirrors. The lovely scene in the forest wasn't rendered in real-time on a home PC, that's more like a CGI film where things are pre-built and pre-rendered, don't expect that kind of performance while playing a game any time soon with any game engine.

I want it all why do I have to compromise?

That is patently untrue because far cry 5 renders graphics that good at 4k in real time at playable frame rates, of course it is built on the Cryengine 5 but Unity 2018 is supposed to be as good by the end of it's development cycle.

Don't get me wrong, Far Cry 5 has really nice graphics but I don't remember seeing them looking as good as that video. I haven't watched a lot of Far Cry game play videos though so I could be wrong. Hmmm, think I'll go check out those now. Boss IS out of the office after all. :)

Can far cry do that while also building and running a dynamic world with a voxel engine?

The fact that you have asked why you can't have both while replying to a post in which I explain why you can't have both shows a distinct lack of understanding of how game development and game engines work.

You are being far too critical and intractable, that's on you because nothing is impossible it is just highly improbable and if you are saying that it is impossible you just lack imagination.

Also you aren't qualified to judge me and you are being a bully so back off.

When was the last time you wrote shader code? For me it was a couple of months ago... when it comes to the capabilities of game engine graphics I am indeed more than qualified to judge the opinion of a player.

Make sure you stream it in 4k on a 4k monitor.

Are you entitled though? no you aren't, you are being a bully.

I think you should take a minute and google the definition of a bully and really think about your actions before you continue to engage me.
