Simteract

We just released part 1 of patch #3 for Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator🥳 We consider this patch more of a community request patch as we added some customization features such as an FOV slider, improvements in force feedback, and giving players the ability to invert the X and Y axis as well as some technical improvements to the overall AI for pedestrians and vehicles making the experience driving around Barcelona more enjoyable and immersive. Read the full patch notes here👇 https://lnkd.in/g-eGZBPT You can also grab Taxi Life for 20% off on Steam for Polish constitution day 👇 https://lnkd.in/g-eGZBPT We hope our players enjoy the new patch and we encourage further feedback from our community. See you in Barcelona🌞🌴 #TaxiLife #gamedeveloper

🐲 Welcome our next speaker: Artur Szymański - Art Director from Simteract! 🪪 Buy your ticket  https://lnkd.in/dsfSpvtp 👤 Artur Szymański is a 3d art generalist and mathematician who always wanted to find a way to combine graph theory and computer graphics. Therefore, Houdini is his dream software. Artur got his degree in mathematics at Krakow University of Science and Technology. At the same time, he trained himself in computer graphics. He started as an asset maker, then an animator for commercials and short films (among them award-winning "Level"). Artur has worked as an Art Director at Simteract for over seven years. He has been leading the graphic team for Simteract, counting over 15 team members. He was responsible for art and technical art vision for games like Train Life or Taxi Life (published by Nacon) and unannounced Project Prodigy (published by Astragon). He's an expert on using real-world open data to generate huge worlds automatically, including detailed cities (like 1:1 Barcelona in Taxi Life). With over a dozen games he worked on and 20 years of professional experience, he is learning new things about Houdini and Unreal Engine daily. 🟢 Topic: Big Worlds Generation and Optimisation for PC and Consoles - Houdini Engine in Action Join Artur Szymański as he delves into the large-scale world creation using Houdini-based tools in the Train Life game, transitioning from a single 8x8 km² landscape to an expansive 4000 km² environment optimized not only for PC but even for the Nintendo Switch. Discover the integration of Unreal World Composition, the use of 'corridors' blueprints in level design and level art, and the rigorous optimization process that compressed data from 100GB to 6GB without sacrificing world size. #DigitalDragons #digitaldragons2024  #unreal #techart #simulation #real-world #data #houdini

We heard the community and we delivered. Here is what you can expect from Taxi Life for the next 3 months! A couple of things that are worth highlighting: 👉 Steering Wheel Support for Consoles: We're putting in work to make sure you can play Taxi Life on steering wheels both on PC and consoles. 👉 Community requested features: We have a lot of feedback coming from our community and we wanted to let you know that we're here and we're listening. 👉 Smoothing Out Car Physics: Even better driving physics! See you in Barcelona 🌴

Barcelona com a musa de la indústria 'gaming': més que un ‘hub’. Des del 1989, empreses de videojocs internacionals fan servir el patrimoni cultural i artístic de la capital catalana per fer brillar les seves obres 🎮. A més, Catalunya és la regió europea que més inversions estrangeres rep en el sector dels videojocs. ✍ Ho explica David Lombrana Simteract Marcin Jaśkiewicz Wolf Team Sega Amusements International Ltd.

"You should probably fix that" Is the response you'd probably get pulling up in a car like this. When your lights start flashing and camera does a slight shake. It's probably time to hit up the garage. Make sure to wishlist Taxi Life in the meantime 👉 https://bit.ly/3DCmIbg #gamedev #videogames #drivingsim
