It does seem Epic have forgotten that they are actually a computer games company. The disregard with how they canned the new unreal tournament…the game that made them what they are is pretty disgraceful. They even sold off Gears of War to some other tin pot company. (Then again whoever came up with the idea of putting a train track in your dads back garden that leads to the enemy HQ should never work again)
Can UT and Fortshite not exist at the same time?
Who wants all these archvis features in a game engine…features that are unusable in real time.
Most of the newer Epic videos are always about bloody archviz or some nonsense for the motor industry…if i worked in the archviz industry Id be using something that wasnt a game engine anyway.
On the other side…back in the old days you’d never get free access to a AAA engine and its source code so its all swings and roundabouts. But that does seem to give the impression from Epic that they basically think…its free what more do you want.
Which is kinda fair to a point but then that brings me back to the actual topic…
Like Clavos said…if theres no official help on the forums from Epic why dont they incentivise people to help more on the forums…currently there is no incentive…not even an empty gesture of a badge or something that shows you help people.
It would even look good on a CV if you could show that you’re a contibutor and have been an active member of the community and helped other members.
Its not like we even get paid so to help someone we are doing it in our own time out the goodness of our hearts…for nothing, what do we get out of it?
Oh my god and blueprints…sort of nice, sort of stupid…anyone can make a game with blueprints!!!
All its doing is teaching bad methods as it encourages new people with no coding knowledge to fudge the hell out of everything. Used correctly they serve a purpose.
