Leafs oftend dont decay
  • It is the same, but I appreciate it may not seen that way. It is to do with how it is designed. If you cut a tree block, leaves around it are converted to orphans. Orphans decay.

    Historically all leaf would consider decaying and performance wise in leafy areas, it was horrific, so it was changed to this. It seems the leafs aren't correctly orphaned when the tree was cut. If you press debug (f5), you can see the technical name of the node you're pointing at. If you cut tree, it changes to the leafname_orphan. These can decay. My assumption is the ones not decaying were not orphaned and won't have orphan in their technical name.

  • Hi there! (Appreciation and asking for help)
  • There is a PR open to decrease the aggressiveness of the fire burn. I will forward this to the dev who is working on this so they can take these points into consideration.

    Thanks for raising the issue.

    Is there any demand left for 'game systems developers'? As in, people knowledgeable on Win32 or POSIX API, PE/ELF, Compilers and Interpreters, etc, when it concerns games exclusively? (+UNIX engine?)
  • I'll be honest, and sorry in advance, but it'll help you more. Your cynicism is probably the thing getting in the way. I understand it's rough and not fun, but you've got to avoid it grinding you down.

    You need to give yourself reasons to stand out. Making a half baked unfinished engine that no one uses isn't as impresive as improving an existing one that people use. Greenfield projects are rare and you probably not going to get that as a first role. So you need to prove to employers you can take legacy code, learn it, understand it, improve it and get it live. Demonstrating you have the capability to do that on a FOSS project demonstrates you may be able to do that on an in-house engine. You also learn from the code others write. Why did they do it this way? Is it better? What are the pros and cons? Degrees differentiate, yes, but a green person out of uni vs someone who has proven they can do a similar job, you have an advantage. Plus, 5 PRS is probably easier than a new engine. Making one from scratch cannot hurt, but it doesn't prove everything they need to know. Businesses hire because they have a problem and need someone competent to solve that problem. Tick those boxes and remove the risk and you have reasonable chances.

    If you only demonstrate you're not comfortable going out of your comfort zone and getting your hands dirty, you are not helping yourself.

    So give them reasons to hire you, give yourself a chance, and keep applying. Give yourself a 2% chance, apply to 50 jobs, give yourself a 10% chance, apply for 10, but always go over the odds.

    Remember, industry is rough right now. A lot of experienced proven folk got let go in last year. Might need to improve your odds and bide your time.

  • 'Devs are getting ground up as collateral damage': Fallout: New Vegas lead says burnout has replaced crunch as 'the primary hazard of the game industry'
  • Stress can be for a few days or weeks or months. Burnout is a months and years thing. It's the result of chronic stress. You can just get a mental block and cannot even touch or look at something. It may make you unable to do the work you once did. The mind can shut down for self preservation. Even after years of recovery you may not be the same person.

  • MineClone 2 will switch to a new name, VoxeLibre
  • Because MineClone2 is a dreadful name, and unfortunately, when ever anyone tries to differ anything slightly, a head can be taken clean off. The project doesn't want to be a full clone, but heavily inspired by, but with it's own direction. It needed to go.

    MineClone2 (based on Minetest) changes name to VoxeLibre
    git.minetest.land New name chosen

    Based on the small overall amount of votes here, a similarly small amount of votes on Matrix, the large amount of people who voted on Discord and the large margin by which the name VoxeLibre won the voting on Discord, as well as the heated discussion that followed the survey on private dev chats... ...

    Xbox claims mass layoffs were the outcome of a ‘concerning’ lack of industry growth
  • Business discover consumers have limited disposable income and sometimes markets grow to saturation. Businesses failing to understand that different market strategies can be applied to the different stages of growth.

    You'd think these industry leaders would understand about business...

    Seems it's been overtaken by grifters promising the world and investors being absolute naive mugs.

    A brutal exploration and survival game for 1-10 players, set in a procedurally-generated purgatory inspired by viking culture. Battle, build, and conquer your way to a saga worthy of Odin’s patronage!

    Absolute bargain price if you ask me. Played over 250 hours of Valheim. A great immersive game, and at this price, a bit too good to say no to if you haven't tried it. A survival must play.

    Highly recommend.

    Palworld (as a survival game...)
    store.steampowered.com Palworld on Steam

    Fight, farm, build and work alongside mysterious creatures called "Pals" in this completely new multiplayer, open world survival and crafting game!

    Palworld on Steam

    Obviously it's a very hyped up game, and I was apprehensive posting this as they have sufficient marketing behind them already. It's meme'd as "Pokemon with Guns", but at its core is a very heavy survival play style.

    Have you tried it? How many hours in are you?

    If you have, what do you think? How does it stack up against other survival games for you?

    My view is in the comments...

    Edit: First 2 votes are downvotes and into minus immediately? I get you may not like the hype. Say it, but this is to also stimulate debate and build this community. We're off the lemm.ee first page and any downvote is just going to contribute to keeping this community buried when it needs a little oxygen. Do we really want another dead small community? It's also an opportunity to bring folk into survival games...

    Community stuff

    I have created the community and advertised it in new communities.

    It would be good to get a logo for the sub if anyone has one. Maybe an axe or a campfire or something. If you have a link to a survival game sub, we can add that in to the community description to make it easier for survival fans to find the communities they care about. Hopefully this will start as a campfire community so we can get together, discuss and build a great corner here in Lemmy.

    Feel free to kick off discussion, talk about a specific game, what you're playing now, or even ask questions about a specific game, and hopefully folks here may know the answers.

    Survival games... What features do you love and hate about them?

    What features in survival games do you really love, and which do you really hate?

    Is there a meta you really get annoyed by that every game seems to copy? What is something unique or cool in a game that really added something great?

    I'll start. For me, the most annoying thing is the grindyness at times. First it's mine 2, then 10, then 30, then 50. It seems the only way survival games can make things harder at times is to increase resource cost.
