Damn cooking used to take 5 minutes and now it takes ~2 hours Anyway, I updated the file!

Could you please specify at what time exactly you are going to submit the list?

I just realized that the Origins costs 60 EUR but the regular edition only costs 40! Purchased!

I was expecting it to be more like a MOBA and it ended up being more like TF2. Cannot complain! Really good fun! I would have loved to try the competitive mode though. As it stands, friends of mine (and myself included) are skeptical about the longevity and somewhat on the fence whether to shell out 60 EUR for it. But regardless: great job to everyone who has been working on it! Love the maps!

That is being taken care of automatically by using the nav mesh. It makes sense to check this though because sometimes you have navigation data in places where it isn't needed and that is then redundant information on the mini-map.

Is there a plan to have any kind of organized public playtesting? It would be awesome if we could set up some times and test the gameplay of phase 1 submissions. Given that somebody can provide a server

I'm also cooking up something this time: DM-Eternal More images here: https://www.mapcore.org/topic/20021-epic-games-mapcores-unreal-tournament-level-design-contest-phase-1-submissions/#comment-414293

Or is it the inspiring architecture and landscapes? Tax reasons.

Even the website is amazing.

The AfD scored high in cities like Mannheim and Pforzheim but had a much lower success rate in cities like Stuttgart and Ludwighsafen - cities with even higher populations of immigrants. I wouldn't say that these cities have particularly strong left wing alternative scenes. About voters with migration backgrounds more likely to vote for AfD: I heard this was the case in Freiburg, but I am not aware that this is a common thing. What I do know is that the AfD got their most succesful election results in Sachsen Anhalt. I guess what we can agree on is that clustering many immigrants in few areas doesn't help them getting integrated. This is why I find it cynical when people from areas with close-to-zero immigration rates argue that they don't want to take in ANY Muslims because they don't want their land of flowing milk and honey to turn into a ghetto. I believe if we scattered them more evenly, we would get less problems. And I believe as well that we cannot take in everyone, but what I am concerned with is that some of these "homogenous communities" tend to see any foreigner as an intruder that they have to "defend themselves" against, which sadly often turns into violence or this embarrassment of a political movement such as Pegida in Dresden.

It's fucked up. The guy who killed him must be a religious fanatic and a lunatic. I hate these people. It's especially tragic, because the store owner seemed to be a caring, much-loved individual and well-respected by the community he was living in. But you do realize that the store owner was also Muslim, right? I mean, you mention it, but then you go on to call "all" Muslims crazy... See, in Germany, the regions that are the most against immigration are the ones with the lowest population of Muslims. It's funny because if all Muslims were violent fanatics then you would think that their Christian and atheist neighbors would be the first to complain about them. But instead it's the people who are afraid of the foreign(ers). And sadly these people also generalize a lot. I guess this can be seen at a bigger scale in all of Europe nowadays. @laminutederire: Except for hundreds of thousands of Jews who fled their home countries? And who can blame them? Or the Syrian refugees? If my family and me were eating grass in Aleppo because Assad's troops are sieging the city for weeks or my town is about to be overrun by psychopaths who threaten to cut off our heads or enslave my wife then, hell yes, I would try to get the fuck away. And I think there is no shame in doing that. There are by the way a substantial amount of Syrians who picked up the fight against the dictator AND the religious fanatics and see how well that has worked out so far. Just to be clear, I'm not arguing for open borders for everyone regardless of origin and without registration and background-checks. And I'm concerned about integration, too. But the other extreme of taking NOBODY in is IMO ice cold, inhumane and I won't stand for it,

I agree that trying to rationalize everything by leaving religion completely out of the picture is the wrong thing to do but doing the extreme opposite thing by trying to blame everything on religion is just as wrong. When you look at the terrorist attacks in Northern Ireland which struck the region for several decades, you could, without digging deeper, file this under purely religious motivated conflicts between Catholics and Protestants. But the real reasons are societal, economical and political which have their origin many centuries before. I guess we would be better off without religions due their potential for tribal "us vs them" mentalities, to disguise sinister intentions and manipulate people. But it is too easy to say "IS exists because Muslims are crazy, therefore all Muslims are dangerous and need to be kept out or under surveillance". I'm not saying you are, but that's how some people seem to go about it.

wow that's really well-hidden. Thanks for letting me know!

I like the old "new content" feed better, but I'm adjusting. The thing that bothers me though is that there seems to be no way to jump to the newest unread post but instead it always takes me to the first page of the thread? Sounds like a small thing but it gets annoying when you have to do that 10 times in a session.

This is getting out of hand lol

I'm curious if Crytek is going make any additions to Cryengine in the future that would give them an edge and warrant using their license instead of going with Lumberjack. At this point it looks like they effectively sold their engine business to Amazon.

This sucks

A successfully-funded WWII shooter on Kickstarter. Gentlemen, this industry has officially gone full circle.

There is a talk by Jim Brown (Epic Games) where he also talks about interpreting heatmaps if I remember correctly: http://gdcvault.com/play/1020844/The-Importance-of-Everything-A

Dayum.

I started playing Destiny about the time when The Taken King was released. So it was mostly player-void levels with a lot of loading screens in between In The Division, I really appreciate the seamless transitions and man, the environments in this game look amazing...Base-building and Dark Zones are cool. I can see myself really getting into this!

Overheard in the office today: "Let's get lunch and play Punch Club"

Sad to hear that. Can you share some information about what job role in which area you're looking for? Maybe somebody here can help. Hang in there!

Great to see that folks are still creating for Crysis 1. This looks especially awesome!
