Godot for AA/AAA game development - What's missing?

Additionally, the modern backend can implement rendering methods , such as forward clustered, mobile, and more in the future (such as deferred clustered, cinematic, etc.). It means that assets are pulled from disk on demand (loaded only at the time they are needed), rather than as a part of a larger stage. Low level rendering access.

Does it take much work/money to edit cutscenes once finished? Like, you develop a cutscene but then you decide to change details like background, music, clothes, facial expressions of the characters or even add to the scene a character who originally wasn’t supposed to be there. How often does this happen?

Today, for an in-game cinematic, a lot of the things are done in real time so we can swap things out as needed. For the specific assets used in the cinematic, it depends on what it costs to make those new assets. If we already have the assets built for other reasons (e.g. Sometimes changes must be made (e.g.

So how much $ (in general) does it cost to produce a fully animated/rigged, fully voiced 1-3 minute cutscene in a game that’s in ongoing development (something like SWTOR, where they have a lot of prebuilt assets)? Like just a general low range and high range? I’m seeing a lot of people complaining about prioritizing content they want, and don’t know enough about the behind the scenes costs to properly communicate they’re being unrealistic with their complaints.

Ask a Game Dev

If the cutscene needs new animations we need to bring on an animator to spend time building the new animations needed for the cutscene. The bulk discounts only really work if the things we're paying for can be reused multiple times though - the more specific an asset is (e.g. needs its own rig), that's time from a rigger to create.

A friend of mine wants to become a game designer without learning any other disciplines in game dev, he seems very sure this is possible but his confidence comes off as “idea guy” to me. I like thinking about design as well and how it could all fit together cohesively but I’m worried he’s setting himself up for failure by not learning another discipline to go along with it. Am I correct in this thought or am I being an jerk?

Ask a Game Dev

If a designer doesn't understand the technical and asset constraints she's working with, it can make for a lot of wasted work. That might mean working on combat, quests, cinematics, narrative, itemization, UX, enemies, levels/environments, or any of a number of other specialties.
