• Отказ от блюпринтов в пользу чистого кода C++ спас производительность Everspace 2 - 9 October 2026

  Визуальное программирование с помощью системы Blueprints в движке Unreal Engine остается популярным инструментом для быстрого прототипирования, однако на дистанции оно способно загнать крупный проект в технологический тупик. Технический программист студии Rockfish Games Джозеф раскрыл производственные детали создания космического симулятора Everspace 2. Разработчик объяснил, почему авторам пришлось в принудительном порядке переписывать рабочие механики на чистый код C++ ради спасения оптимизации. На ранних этапах производства дизайнеры активно пользовались визуальными скриптами для сборки базового геймплея и элементов интерфейса. По мере расширения масштабов игры, наполнения секторов флотилиями кораблей и усложнения боевой системы накладные расходы визуальных нод стали критическими. Игра стремительно теряла частоту кадров, а стандартные методы поверхностной оптимизации больше не справля…

• Разработчики Everspace 2 раскрыли странные костыли и баги в коде Unreal Engine - 9 October 2026

  Даже признанные флагманские графические движки содержат странные программные решения, с которыми создателям игр приходится бороться нестандартными методами. В ходе технического интервью сотрудники студии Rockfish Games раскрыли детали производственного процесса космического симулятора Everspace 2. Одной из ключевых тем обсуждения стали проблемы движка Unreal Engine, вынудившие авторов внедрять парадоксальные костыли ради исправления базовых визуальных неполадок. Технический программист студии Джозеф поделился показательным примером борьбы со встроенным рендерингом декалей. Во время производства команда столкнулась с неприятным дефектом, когда текстуры декалей и опознавательные эмблемы фракций буквально расползались по соседним частям полигональной сетки космических кораблей. Стандартные настройки не приносили результата, поскольку разработчики из Epic Games зашили в шейдер движка жестко…

• Разработчики Everspace 2 поторопились с финальным обновлением и признали провал своих планов - 3 October 2026

  Студия Rockfish Games оказалась в крайне неловком положении после попытки официально завершить поддержку космического экшена Everspace 2. В начале сентября разработчики торжественно выпустили так называемое финальное обновление, рассчитывая поставить точку в развитии проекта и переключить основные силы на следующую игру. Однако самоуверенность создателей быстро разбилась о суровую реальность, так как сразу после релиза на проект обрушился целый шквал сообщений о критических поломках. Представитель службы технической поддержки студии во время недавней трансляции открыто признал, что команда поторопилась с громкими заявлениями и фактически спровоцировала череду проблем. По его словам, попытка объявить окончание полировки проекта оказалась фатальной ошибкой. К сожалению, эти надоедливые мелкие ошибки просто прятались и ждали того самого момента, когда мы скажем, что выпускаем финальное обн…

• New EVERSPACE 2 + X4: Foundations Bundle - 6 November 2025
