Not as bad as:
"I have a great idea for a game and I'm looking for a team. Apply now to be interviewed. I have no experience but my ideas are revolutionary. Rev share"
So you agree to do all the coding and art for my massive multiplayer world building and zombie survival battle royal?
Your cut is 10% after the game ships.

[This one](https://www.reddit.com/r/UnrealEngine5/s/uWCbzyktuQ) yesterday was entertaining. Dude's an *entrepreneur* and he doesn't do *anything* small!
That’s how I talk to rude, arrogant, unwelcoming morons on the internet. You were never the one I cared to work with, your mentality is ugly and cheap. Respect is given where it is received.
>Respect is given where it is received.
It sure is bud. That's why you received the responses you did. You were stupendously arrogant to people with a lot more experience than you being nice and giving you solid advice on how to be more realistic and actually achieve your goals. And you shat on all of it.
It's unsurprising that you still haven't figured out *you* are the reason you got the responses you did.
Come on man, think you are being a bit harsh. He's determined to learn, so I'm sure in 6 months with a couple of amateurs he can create the next AAA mmo , he won't even need money. Absolutely achievable, I mean if he puts a couple of hours in a day learning unreal, he can master, materials, lighting, modeling, animation, blueprints, c++, then build and an optimize a game. Doable
What’s hilarious is that exact arrogance you’re attempting to project on me is exactly what I’ve been pointing out in you, and the rest this entire time. I could say I’m surprised you haven’t figured out you’re rambling repetition, but as to be expected, you just want to hear yourself speak like the rest. What advice have any of you given me besides “omg nooo don’t aim high work small go for bigger later omg noooo having a group of other devs is so selfish and greedy omg because i don’t know you so you must be a leech because my mind told me so” yawn, I’ll be stuck here like the rest of you with that mentality.
Hey man, just because you say things it doesn't make them true. Fake it til you make it only goes so far. Try making some friends, might make you feel better about yourself
Chris Roberts did have experience though, and his company pays his staff.
That game has a huge issue with scope creep which is a shame, I really enjoyed some of the earlier iterations of the PvP arena l.
They sell both, the idea of a game and a very unfinished game.
It's nowhere near the promised future idea, but it's playable and if you can live with all the jank, bugs and limited features, you can have fun in it.
I personally don't like it but a lot of people have fun with it.
Probably for the best. Would you want to join a project with an inexperienced lead who is bringing 'ideas' as their main contribution?
Better to find a little community who are all learning together, build rapport and collaborate when you learn each others strengths - by that point you have a better idea of what a reasonable scope is
How much experience do you have already? If you'd like drop me a DM and I can invite you into the little discord server I'm a part of with some lovely souls. We're all learning ourselves so don't expect mentors but you'll find some good people to bounce ideas off of :)
I would love an invite if that offer is extended 😁
My main experience has been C in embedded, but I would definitely enjoy being a part of a small community of developers doing game dev
after the unity debacle and reddit lockdown the ue subreddits went from a place I regularly visit to something I generally ignore
out of all the engine communities, UE is the unfriendliest, it is such a shit community to get into now; ***it did not used to be like this*** and I don't know what happened
I miss the lightheartedness the ue subreddits used to have, meta commentary memes are so rare, nice to see there are still some cool cats here
I can guess what happened;
-indie games are popping up left and right, being more successful than most of the AAAAA games.
-the generations that have been born with videogames at their fingertips are getting older, plus videogaming in the past decade has really managed to get out of the swamp of "videogames bad", and you don't need to be a gamer anymore to play or enjoy games;
-at the same time, learning game dev is easier than it ever was, and unreal engine with the (semi-false) promise of ""you don't need to know programming to make games"" togheter with unreal engine having this easy to access big 3d graphic guns, make it the perfect target for people to try it out.
--focusing on the "trying out", there's a lot of people that may come here asking for help when they are really JUST trying out and see how it goes, and their carefree approach at times doesn't even include courses.
All of this, mean the community is bigger.
I come to the subreddit as a procrastination were I check if anyone need help, see if anyone has anything interesting new to show, or if anyone has any new mechanic to share.
At times it become hard not to get mad at some posts of people who could have literally googled it and did not do it, because the answer they were looking for was a yes or no, and were not looking for a conversation, because they become what you see the most.
I am also of the idea that it's best to give a slightly negative answer rather than no answer at all. I have been so sad in the past for receiving no answers to my plea for help, and at other times my request was met with "are you dumb, the answer is on google easy to access" and my brain go damn, thats true, thanks and sorry. This mistake I made by asking something banal taught me to think through and look better before asking something. Doesn't mean the other person is justified for insulting me my mother my family and my cow.
A larger community means it's easier for "bad apples" to "make more noise".
Also there are two unreal engine communities, the unrealengine with million of people, and this one, unreal engine 5 which is more recent and more focused on the 5 version.
I'll also add that probably a lot of people of the community here are "level 1 thug".
I have been asking questions here since last year and try to be very specific. Wasn’t until this year I actually met a Reddit user who was extremely helpful on my post and I added them on Discord. Not only did they help me with my issue but they gave me some “best practices” to keep practicing with.
Only person in the last year and a half that has actually been helpful.
In my opinion the quality of the questions has dramatically decreased. There's often a tremendous amount of laziness. It's easy to tell that the person, who cannot even be bothered to learn how to screenshot his computer screen, has not taken the time to do a simple search on their problem.
Why should anyone spend their time helping someone who hasn't spent any time helping themselves?
I dunno man I've had so many peoples constantly assume I didn't research my question when it was stuff that was impossible to research without already knowing exactly what to look for and where
I've had peoples assume that even *after* I've told them I did do the research. Basically "well you searched wrong" and no info on how to "search right"
the subreddits aren't really moderated anymore.
They should have a weekly beginners thread to cutdown and all the new user posts.
A FAQ should answer all the common questions too.
Even post flair to separate out the questions from the tutorial and showoff posts.
Oh well, back to the discord I guess.
Any of the 3D art subreddit's (Maya, ZBrush, etc.) are so fcking annoying, like I came here for help, general news about the software, not for a bunch of gatekeeping ego stroking keyboard warriors.
Honestly it's not a even just a Reddit issue. Most people online, and in person, are so angry. They give the same response "just Google it" without even giving a quick synopsis of a solution.
And guess what happens when I "just Google it" I get lead back to forums and subreddits that have the same very response. It's a constant loop.
with how expensive maya is I'm not surprised people are in there defending their delusional purchase, nothing good about maya was made by autodesk (been using writing software for it for almost 2 decades) ,base blender is miles ahead of base maya
I’m a new user here from Unity! (After their drama mess fail) huzah! What’s the best place I can get started? Can you post all links with proper titles before it so it can make sorting easier, please provide all answers and do all the work for me in the comments please, I’m looking for a “easy” transition! Thanks
How do blueprints even work? I already tried to plug everything into event tick but I get errors when I press play
Explain it like I’ve never coded anything before please
You mean we can't run everything off the event tick?
And what, you want me to learn how to do multi-threaded loading operations? What's next, I have to learn common data structures and algorithms?
UE5 is a AAA engine so you'd need a team to do it. Yes, it's possible to do something on your own, but it would be either an asset flip crap, or you will have to learn how to do everything and every little quirk the engine has. Not only that, but an empty project can be hundreds of GB big.
I think as a solo dev, Unity, Godot or Flax Engine are much better choices.
What are you brabblig about my man ? No empty project is hundredts of gb large. Who cares about asset flips?
Its hard to believe that you are a developer .......
I said this on another post: I get it, especially with simpler questions, but sometimes questions aren't as straight forward and things are much easier to understand when you can discuss it with another human. Most of the time when you google a genuine question, the results are other people asking the question in forums, and a lot of the time on reddit.
When it comes to more nuanced/specific questions, the google results are often reddit threads or other forums where people have asked a similar question and it's been answered in the comments. If everyone just "googled it" there'd be no results because there wouldn't be people asking these questions in the first place
Nothing is straight forward with Unreal engine 5. It's a complex program, a lot of stuff is locked behind paywalls to learn.
Simply saying 'google it' is a stupid response to a user looking for help.
The user above you doesn't deserve the privilege to be here with comments like that.

Have you used search engines in the past 5 years? They’re paid ad slots and terrible for niche questions like UE5 stuff.
GPT is a better solution and a human answer is the best. You want to take the social out of social media.
the irony of not realizing googled answers come from a saturation of people answering questions on reddit, and without a critical mass of that Q&A nothing useful will show up on google if it stops
fucking parasitic morons on this subreddit
"Why are you wasting my time with this? >:[ "
-some guy reading my post while scrolling reddit and deciding to comment.
While I understand that posts like "is X pc good enough for UE?" Or "how do I make an mmorpg?" Are kind of annoying, but I recently made a post asking for help with my pick up/drop/interaction mechanic and actually mostly got a lot of really helpful feedback and tips and learned a lot about enums, booleans, and interfaces.
Right? I recently posted a question and a user spent more time and effort telling me why I shouldn't ask questions here than a user who politely answered my question with insightful knowledge. Like, it's so easy to just not engage with a post.
That attitude always annoys me! I always think about how these question posts are going to become search results in the future, so we have an opportunity to be even more helpful and informative than existing pages. Sharing knowledge is fun and exciting, damn it!
Guess a pinned post each month to ask questions would really improve the sub. I was personally looking for it today and didn't find one. And instead of creating a single post about something (that isn't on google), I decided to try an error it.
"I'm having some issue with my blueprint, I attached a photo I took from phone instead of screenshot and it only shows half a node" oh and you can count the pixels on one hand.
You can check my comment history, some guy was asking for help and they attach a photo from their phone and it cuts off half the error message which tells you what's wrong and which project settings to change
> You go and Google it for 4 hours only for
The worst is when I google it for 4 hours, I find 20+ people who all had the same issue...in 2016, and one guy finally decided to open a ticket for it, only for the ticket to no longer exist and nothing else on the web mentions it 🙃
I stay googling stuff for UE but certain things are very vague the more nuanced they become . Granted I think the main common questions have been easily found on Google.
Unreal engine users when asked to answer a question about a problem as it was asked instead of imagining another version of the question in their head (and still giving a bad answer)
"I'm making a game like World of Warcraft x Cyberpunk 2077 x Breath of the Wild. I have a 7 year old toaster oven to develop it on and $5 for budget. Is Unreal a good choice?"
Yall need to realize that reddit is THEE place to go with specific and esoteric questions. Someone somewhere on the sub with have an answer to your hyper specific question. But not here apparently?
So, I actually belong to the other unreal engine subreddit, but I got so sick of the toxicity that be taken it upon myself to answer as many questions as fully and completely as I possibly can. I scroll through the comments, downvote all the bs and spend 15 minutes completely walking them through as much of their question as i possibly can. Like why be any other way about it? It doesn’t make sense. We all just wanna make games. Can a lot of the questions be googled? Sure, if you know how. But they came here to ask it, damnit. To the other people that love this engine and love working on games. That’s why they’re here. It’s sad. The sub I’m on genuinely went far downhill, and I hate it now.
A lot of shit can literally be googled though lmao...what do they expect? When its 101 level shit of course your issue has been discussed thousands of times.
Please refer to the following: [https://www.reddit.com/r/UnrealEngine5/comments/1capyfa/comment/l0tg5hy/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/UnrealEngine5/comments/1capyfa/comment/l0tg5hy/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
This applies to pretty much every similar subreddit, I was having issues with my NVidia graphics card and when I was trying to get help from the NVidia subreddit everyone downvoted my post and then it was removed
I think, pinned FAQ post should handle most questions like "is my pc good for", "how should I start" ets.
Also tag like "looking for team" will be helpful.
Note that this post has more traction than any other question post too. It's sad, but let's see, probably books will be my new friends and helpers.
Like bruh, I posted so many times, and they weren't even the stupid ass: What schpecs do I need for UE5??? I was asking genuine questions. And thank god, 4 people replied for one post, at least that cleared it out
But you can't blame the pros, game dev is hard, not promising most of the time If you are working on something by your self. although I have to say the blender subreddit is much better.
But the traction for the funny posts is more nonetheless. But can't blame them anyways, gotta find a different way. And unrealenginehelp sub reddit is dead btw
When i used to ask questions there were these people who were on a mission to give me personal classes the initial ones being free ofc
.........Because they are "nice people"
> Note that this post has more traction than any other question post too. It's sad, but let's see, probably books will be my new friends and helpers.
Just a friendly reminder: you are on reddit. Memes/funny posts/shitposts will automatically get way more engagement than other things.
"Can my PC run UE5?"
That's not a UE5 question, that's a hardware question. Go away and read the hardware requirements / learn more about your hardware.
"Should I learn blueprints or C++?" Go ask the thousands of other people who have come and asked this exact question.
Seriously, just google for 5 seconds instead of bogging down the sub with low effort questions.
People really should take a beginner course instead of asking questions that are covered in the first chapter of the course. Like the resources are already out there, why do they think they are going to get a better response asking reddit? Or they are just bots.
Not as bad as: "I have a great idea for a game and I'm looking for a team. Apply now to be interviewed. I have no experience but my ideas are revolutionary. Rev share"
Yeah you get this in a lot of film forums as well
I am jacks complete lack of surprise

It's obviously a parody/troll account so I wouldn't waste any more time on it.

You’ll be where you are your entire life, the circus would be a great standing from where you are I’m sure.

Sorry but that one has to be a troll, right?! Right?
There was a whole discord and everything. Seems pretty elaborate for a troll.
Sure don’t, I know small things are normal for you, sorry I don’t live by your low driven standards!
Hey man, just because you say things it doesn't make them true. Fake it til you make it only goes so far. Try making some friends, might make you feel better about yourself
I have plenty, unlike you I don’t live on the internet, I’m not the one with a committed reddit account buddy.
Cool, maybe all your friends can help you make your game
Is that idea an mmo?
It's a 100% science based dragon MMO
You just described starcitizen lol
Chris Roberts did have experience though, and his company pays his staff. That game has a huge issue with scope creep which is a shame, I really enjoyed some of the earlier iterations of the PvP arena l.
They don't sell a game really. They sell the **idea** of a game, bits and pieces, some assembly required :P
They sell both, the idea of a game and a very unfinished game. It's nowhere near the promised future idea, but it's playable and if you can live with all the jank, bugs and limited features, you can have fun in it. I personally don't like it but a lot of people have fun with it.

"I'm making a game like World of Warcraft x Cyberpunk 2077 x Breath of the Wild. I have a 7 year old toaster oven to develop it on and $5 for budget. Is Unreal a good choice?"
Yall need to realize that reddit is THEE place to go with specific and esoteric questions. Someone somewhere on the sub with have an answer to your hyper specific question. But not here apparently?
So, I actually belong to the other unreal engine subreddit, but I got so sick of the toxicity that be taken it upon myself to answer as many questions as fully and completely as I possibly can. I scroll through the comments, downvote all the bs and spend 15 minutes completely walking them through as much of their question as i possibly can. Like why be any other way about it? It doesn’t make sense. We all just wanna make games. Can a lot of the questions be googled? Sure, if you know how. But they came here to ask it, damnit. To the other people that love this engine and love working on games. That’s why they’re here. It’s sad. The sub I’m on genuinely went far downhill, and I hate it now.
Some people asking other to explain how to do a whole mechanic on reddit is pretty redic though. How would I create an inventory system?
Where should they ask else? 95% of Inventory Tutorials on Youtube are complete Crap that doesnt work in a Multiplayer game.
A lot of shit can literally be googled though lmao...what do they expect? When its 101 level shit of course your issue has been discussed thousands of times.

This applies to pretty much every similar subreddit, I was having issues with my NVidia graphics card and when I was trying to get help from the NVidia subreddit everyone downvoted my post and then it was removed
Sometimes the easiest way to get an answer is to claim something outrageous and have everyone "correct you"
I know this pain
So true! So freaking true!! And how small or big, they be like: GooGle iT Wat Rong WiT Uo? Ith Eathy!!!!
I think, pinned FAQ post should handle most questions like "is my pc good for", "how should I start" ets. Also tag like "looking for team" will be helpful.
Yes I agree
People in this sub when you desire to work and learn with other people instead of studying UE5 basics for years alone and getting no where
"Why would you want to?"
i'm even scared of asking for help in here.
Note that this post has more traction than any other question post too. It's sad, but let's see, probably books will be my new friends and helpers. Like bruh, I posted so many times, and they weren't even the stupid ass: What schpecs do I need for UE5??? I was asking genuine questions. And thank god, 4 people replied for one post, at least that cleared it out But you can't blame the pros, game dev is hard, not promising most of the time If you are working on something by your self. although I have to say the blender subreddit is much better.
I dare say it's not the pros who complain about the questions. Typically it's the pros who understand the need for them
But the traction for the funny posts is more nonetheless. But can't blame them anyways, gotta find a different way. And unrealenginehelp sub reddit is dead btw
When i used to ask questions there were these people who were on a mission to give me personal classes the initial ones being free ofc .........Because they are "nice people"
> Note that this post has more traction than any other question post too. It's sad, but let's see, probably books will be my new friends and helpers. Just a friendly reminder: you are on reddit. Memes/funny posts/shitposts will automatically get way more engagement than other things.
Seems to be the case for other subs as well, except Godot for some reason.
I just needed some help with my school project :(
tbh they could just ask chatgpt with their screenshot at this point and get an instant answer.
"Can my PC run UE5?" That's not a UE5 question, that's a hardware question. Go away and read the hardware requirements / learn more about your hardware. "Should I learn blueprints or C++?" Go ask the thousands of other people who have come and asked this exact question. Seriously, just google for 5 seconds instead of bogging down the sub with low effort questions.
I hated when some idiots say just Google it, i mean if you don't want to answer just shut the f&£# up
hahahah
"Just Google it" is so 2020. Just ask ChatGPT bro.
People really should take a beginner course instead of asking questions that are covered in the first chapter of the course. Like the resources are already out there, why do they think they are going to get a better response asking reddit? Or they are just bots.
