Developers use many assests from the unity demo.

[Sample Text]

its pointing out that a game that came out cant even run a server and has huge fps issues for people on low with titan x's. the should not have this problem even if early acess it literally makes the game unplayable. theres also the fact that the devs haven't developed half the game and most of the assests are bought from the unity demo marketplace

I don't have any FPS Issues and I have a 970, Point being "Super high end tope of the line" stuff isn't going to run well, because it's not the most in use system, So it gets poor optimization because it's not common.

I have a 970 and a strong CPU and I get 24 fps on low. Before the patch I had 30 fps on low / med

That's why it's in early access though. Getting feedback on mechanics and polishing and removing placeholders towards the end

You must not have as great a cpu as you said, or you just have tons of viruses and other optimization issues. I have a gtx 970 and get 40+ frames on medium.

I watch it. Its a crappy review. Dues does no know how to address the proper lvl of game development at which Ark is and is comparing it to arbitrary standards. Could not watch past 7 min.

*slow clap* I almost believed you were serious for a moment. Good troll, you had me rage login to steam to rage reply until I reread it.

FYI: My 4 year old computer runs the game just fine and it's 100% playable even with some lag moments.

I'm pleasantly supprised that the game doesn't crash constantly. This is a real alpha version after all, not a AAA "Alpha" Game :)

Optimizing and making the game smooth isn't really something one would except from an game in the alpha development stage, neither is final menu graphics or game balance.

Using free or cheap assets from the asset store and get on with the project is totally valid and a good development strategy, but whatever hater's gone hate :)


I love the game, if you don't then why are you here on it's forums? :D

The video only shows that the guy has no insight in to video game development....
How are most gameworlds built? Well it's complex but simplified it comes down the the following:
SpeedTree, automatic terrain generation from one of various programs and assets outsorced in bulk to china. There's variations but mostly that's it.

Seriously.. A lot of AAA titles got their trees and vegitation from SpeedTree, does this mean they have no idea what they are doing because they aren't creating their own assets? Or does it mean they are smart enough to use their time on the stuff that's actually important?

The games industry is basically built on a solid fundation of outsorcing assets, the Unity and Unreal marketplaces just make the process open and transperant and competative. Best of all it gives freelancers a chance to compete (both 3D artists and game devs) and do what they love.

So, basically the video is complaining about placeholder assets in an early access game? I guess it's time to make the exact same video for all other early access games then, since the majority (if not all) use placeholder assets.

Stfu, you dont even own the game, and after people pointed out that your stupid ass post was just that because you start talking about unity....you fix and change it to unreal lmao. what a tool.

How about you own the game first before you make some troll ass posts

[RkRock]

I'm not sure but I would not be surpriced if they actually did use SpeedTree for ARK... And by OPs logic that means that the devs behind the following had no clue either:
Witcher 3
GTA 5
Age of Conan
Jurrasic World (The Movie)
Avengers Age of Ultron (The Movie)
Mad Max (The Movie)
Dragon Age Inquisition
Assasins Creed Unity
Forza 5

And many, MANY more all done with mostly or exclusivly bought assets for vegiation, gosh..

[Scourn]

wow op you are seriously one dumb moron. You dont even own the game and the only way you played it is either A you stole it from a torrent site or B you refunded it before you even seen half the patches. Either way the fact you are posting here on a game you do not even own speaks volumes of your brain cell count and intention. Do the world a favor and delete your steam account.

[Building 7]

its a good life when the worst thing in your life is that your playing a game that is released early and the frame rate drops to 59.9 and you can complain about how your entitled to it running perfectly on your p.o.s. pc even though its early access and cheaper than full release price. meanwhile. the rest of the world starves in destitution.

[MercGyver]

LOL this guy keeps saying unity its unreal. The poster posted it was from unity. The youtuber says dayz is good and rust is good compared to this. Wow. He does have very valide points about the deving of the game but utterly wrong on wether its fun.

That's strange, because I have great fps on high, and playable fps on epic.

i5, GTX 970, 16 GB of ram. Nothing special.
