Game Idea RPG Night

Most RPG have night like Witcher Gothic Skyrim. But few of them use it. I mean most people just skip night by sleeping or meditation or anything else. What if add special creatures at night with more goods and exp not just thief stuff. Maybe some flowers that can be founded only at night and of course night quests like Oblivion has.

Games wan't be real

Seriously so many fights to make game more real. But why ? Real world size is quite boring that's why games locations mostly smaller but more filled and interesting. And that make sense. Cuz people goes from reality to games in search something better, something interesting, faster. So spending a lot of resources to fill level with empty space is senseless.

Speed Tree Leaves Animation

When wind is average or even small it is very noticeable effect like leave moving and changing color because of up and down leaves color difference. What about adding sprite sheet animation to leaves. I mean split leaves texture into 4 or 16 sprite and change UV directly in foliage shader ( may not performance impact ). Right now big chunks of leaves moves like one peace that looke quite strange.

Circle zoo

Imagine zoo that designed like a a lot of bridge connected circle spaces. At biggest radius we have predators that like to run at huge open spaces. At lower radius we will have animals that dont need so much space like turtles etc, That way animals that like to run will have endless way to run.

SpeedTree optimization

All we know that on proper distance SpeedTree convert mesh into a billboard. And there is a lot of billoboards rendered at same time that dramatically use GPU resources. What if cover all non transparent area of billboards with polygons like 2D game do and save fillrate.

Music to location

Imagine mobile app that set music according to your gps location from global database. Also with google glass we can set music according to things around based on frame delta data.

Witcher Display Driver Stopped Responding

Witcher 3 Display driver stopped responding and has recovered was related to NVidia GPU but this happened to me at AMD HD5870 and Windows 10 Technical Preview

I've tried a lot of different methods but those one was not found anywhere and it's helped me.

1. Download AMD 12.10 Display Drivers here:
http://www.afterdawn.com/software/version_history.cfm/ati_catalyst_software_suite_vista_64-bit

Yeah it is very old drivers but I believe they are not updated major things since that time for HD 5xxx series.


2. Unplug Internet or Turn off Internet.


3. Uninstall driver at Device Manager in Uninstall and check remove all related software.
This will make windows working with no drivers at all and in device manager you will see VGA display adapter instead of your GPU.

4. Install old display drivers.

5. Go to Troubleshooting panel of Win 10 and do Recover Startup where Force Not to Check driver signature ( because drivers are old they are not digitally signed for Win 10 ).

6. Start Witcher 3. At that moment it works well all the time.

7. Plug Internet it will update some drivers files to 5/22/2015

8. Play Game.
