  1. See, that's what people who never used either engine usually say but the truth is: If the game is developed well, you won't be able to tell whether it uses Unreal, Unity or its own engine. Either tool you use, you still have to program RPG functionality from scratch so it simply doesn't matter which engine you use. There are a lot of non-shooters developed with Unreal just like there are a lot of FPSes made with Unity. The reason why Unity got so popular for isometric lower budget Kickstarter RPGs and such is because it is much easier to get started with, it's the easiest engine to learn to use, its Asset Store has a lot of products that can really speed up your development, and until recently had the best pricing plan. Note that when all recent "big" isometric rpgs were starting development, UE4 wasn't even out yet. I love Unity but fact is that Unreal runs better overall (Unity is hell to optimize) and isn't a bad choice for RPGs at all, especially 3D KOTOR-like ones. At the end of the day it's like arguing whether your HD reskin would look better if you made it in Photoshop or Gimp.
  2. False. Unreal is just a tool and it works great for 3rd person games (Mass Effect would be the most obvious example). it can be, and has been, used for literally every other genre if you know how to use it. Basically - same deal as with every other major game engine out there. Only reason it's asdociated with FPSes is because that's what first version of the engine was good for and that's what example scenes are.

    Kotor Apeiron

    Sithspectre, Goat and Kexikus, welcome to the competition. Someone dig this post up in 5 years because I'm likely to forget what Apeiron is by then

    I will give $100 to first three people to like this post if Apeiron is actually finished and released within next 5 years. I've been around wannabe game devs long enough to know overambitious project when I see one.
  5. Wouldn't that be epic? (I woke to 4 pms, huh. I'll read and reply to them tomorrow or a day after)
  6. Not sure how serious you guys are, but if any of you in the western US really want to meet me feel free to pm me and we can talk about it, it'd be fun to turn tour of the west coast into deadlystream riad trip Keep in mind I won't be checking them every day though.
  7. Well I'm likely to visit both those states soon as I'm just sort of travelling the USA right now. And California is likely a final destination.
  8. 4) Who knows if Malachor VI Episode 2 will ever come out Don't even joke like that!
  9. You guys got it right! I'm in the front, taking a selfie. Fair Strides got to "join" too btw... on a phone. But reception was so bad we could barely understand each other Super fun day overall despite a run in with a crazy lady who thought we were recording her kids. Fair Strides, you're up next... in September or whenever I reach Oregon
  10. So this just happened. Me and VarsittyPuppet met in Minneapolis and it is a very first time two TSLRCM developers have met! KOTOR modding historians - remember today's date!
  11. Nah, old school games call for old school platforms.
  12. Coming 2031 for android & iOS in full 3D, VR version to follow in 2033
  13. It's fun when you run out of stuff to talk about, start nitpicking usage of () vs [] in KOTOR and that somehow turns into finding bunch of interesting stuff in TLK, new cut content included.

      That's not what we're referring to here, though. We found some other stuff, like extended cutscenes for killing captains on Onderon (+ crowd reaction), never seen before GP's comments for Visas and Mandalore on Ravager and some M4-78 stuff.

      Sound like something that's thread-worthy.

      It's not major enough to be honest.

  14. Coming soon but... 3.1 Changelist 1.8.4 Updated - 1.8.5 ---------- * Added persuasion animation (Thanks to danil_ch for noticing and providing a semi-complete list of locations of all force persuasions) * Resolved some AR_Error generation with easter egg background and robes. * Fixed T3 skipped dialogue fix getting broken when fixing Steam dialogue being skipped. * Removed excess dlg's and stuff from 307NAR (only used for Zhug scenes), drastically reducing it's size. * (English version) Fixed Revan disrepency in HK-47 dialogue (Thanks to danil_ch for noticing and the VO splices) * Pre-Malachor: Resolved Handmaiden being present even if she left with Kreia to Malachor. Resolved silent Mandalore line. * Visas sparring: Fixed Weapon Focus: Lightsaber being skipped during reward section. For the english version it now shows what Feat you've gained (if any). * Fixed graphical glitches in cutscenes using widescreen resolutions. * Atris/Kreia convo intro improved as per gameplay developer comments * Telos Academy: Fixed some minor issues with a cutscene (Thanks to danil_ch) * Activated dormant placeable in the Telos Academy. (Thanks to JCarter426 for finding the inactive placeable) * HK Factory: You can no longer trigger HK-50 cutscenes by loading a savegame. Removed dead HK-50 to avoid confusion. * Force Persuading Terlyn will no longer require persuasion skill to succeed. * Onderon Wall: Restored missing Bostuco line, made Royalist single line bark rather than cutscene, fixed minor lipsync issues with Vaklu in palace cutscene. * Trying to (Force) persuade the thug after killing Riiken will now net a dark side gain regardless of success or failure. * Restored Patto line, removed HK part from Akkare store since storespawn was fixed and was already generating a part, leading to him having 2 instead of the intended 1. * Ralon: If you have Kreia and Handmaiden/Disciple they can now both comment on the fabled holocron line. * Malachor Core: Fixed Kreia repeated line by actually intended line. * Touched up Visquis call cutscene. (thanks to Danil_ch) * Fixed several missing awareness and persuasion checks. * Fixed broken T3 interaction with the "meet and greet" droids on Dantooine.
  15. We only found out about the character ourselves a couple of weeks ago. I don't think anyone ever discovered his dialog before that. He never even had a DLG file, just some lines in dialog.tlk. Me and HH talked about including him in TSLRCM but I was against it.
  16. I seriously respect people who spend so much time making cosplays just for fun. I'm way too lazy for that. Obligatory
  17. It seems more and more likely that I'll be spending this summer in the US.

      That's something I still need to figure out :P but probably all over, definitely not just in one place.

      Gotcha. Once you have plans, let us know. I'm sure all sort of advice about to do could be provided to you.

  18. I haven't watched the video, just assumed he meant to replace a word in a line itself with "Vash". But yeah, that changes things, there is, in fact, a "she" version of that line.
  19. How is that simple? That would require splicing a new voice over, and Sion never says Vash. Barely anyone in the game does. Nar Shaddaa, actually, unless by "originally intended" you mean intended by people who made the first M4-78 mod. And it's not really a stretch to assume that either Sion travels between different Sith worlds for whatever reason, or just goes to random places looking for you. The latter is kind of confirmed in Vash's cut dialog, she says the Sith "came here looking for the last of the Jedi".
  20. What's the difference between this and Apeiron other than the fact that it looks closer to the source material? Or did the guy just remake areas for fun and doesn't actually intend to remake the game? I don't know what's going on because the OP was removed, so I'm wondering.
  21. Pretty good movie overall. Not without its issues, but still pretty good. I thought the ending was a bit lackluster. Would have probably worked better if they kept the mid-credit scene in an actual movie. That airport fight sequence though... was pure perfection. I'm really looking forward to Russos' Avengers now.

    That's some quality trolling. I approve.
  23. Remember how couple weeks ago I mentioned being at a convention where TSLRCM was mentioned in some presentation, and some of you asked for a video? Here it is.

  24. The most hilarious part of the movie was Batman beating Superman in the head with a sink.
  25. Went to some movie/comicbook/videogame convention. Entered a random prelection. It turned out to be about modding and TSLRCM was mentioned. I LMAOed.

      Ill see what I can do, but I won't be home until Monday. It wasn't particularly interesting btw, she was going through different kind of mods for various games and restored content was one of the categories. I turned camera on as soon as I saw TSLRCM page screenshot.
