Well, I mean, I would have launched it first (as an AAA game), but I'm no game developer. 🤷 And neither are they, from the looks of it. Good at perpetually raking in money for himself and his family, though!

Procedural recoil? So basically, random recoil you can never learn the patterns for?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago

I think so. Which is more realistic of course. But also a weird way to out "random recoil".

Well, procedural when applied to generation of scenery/galaxies etc means to create the exact same thing using random values that are the same random for everyone. It just saves on storage.

But, I cannot tell you how this would apply to recoil. It would only make sense if there were an absolutely huge number of possible weapons.

Nah, cause it could be a procedure like

x is between 1 and 5
recoil = Right*x + Up*4x

So you can learn to resist the average recoil
