ARK: Survival Ascended - I run a cluster for some small Twitch streamers; it's kind of in a lull right now so I've also been playing Conan Exiles, and also doing Godot game "dev" to replicate certain features of Conan - I enjoy the rock breaking mechanic, so I'm replicating it in a game engine that I enjoy in my spare time.
I really.loked Ark. Played for about two years straight. I recently tried Ascended but I've only got a 3060 so it doesn't do so well with it. Beautiful game though. I played Conan for a while and really enjoyed that. Might get back into it since they've changed scenarios now.
Did you build the game engine you're using?
3060 12gb works great in ASA. I'm getting a solid 50 fps at all times with everything on Epic. I'm learning the Godot game engine; everyone learns it for 2D, but they recently started building the Jolt physics engine into Godot by default, so I think it might start becoming a contender for at least somewhat basic games.
After playing Conan, I realized how low the bar actually is in terms of game-polish. I know logically how they do some of their effects, so I want to replicate them.
Maybe I had it cranked too high? What settings do you use?
