What Are Feedback Loops and How Do They Work? | PCG Basics

[@pricklyprickle]

Thanks so much for making these videos. I really appreciate it and I hope you make more videos like this in the future.

[@Procedural_Minds]

You're very welcome! And feel free to suggest what kinds of things you want me to cover in the future. :)

[@pricklyprickle]

@@Procedural_Minds Just a question is there a way to reach out to you directly?

[@Procedural_Minds]

@@pricklyprickle For business inquiries my email is in the youtube contact / about section.

[@erichance8222]

Makes sense, good vid!

[@Procedural_Minds]

Thank you very much! :)

[@hellomistershifty]

oh nice! thank you for making this one so fast haha

[@Procedural_Minds]

You say fast, I say I've been wanting to make this for months. 😆

[@dawidwieczorek7425]

Please contact me, I try to learn it. Can you reverse attribute partition after using Point loop? In order to have all point in one chart

[@ilitvinov]

Again. Lip desync with voice. Like if you also see it.

[@Procedural_Minds]

Odd, I'm looking at the video again right now directly on KZbin and I don't see any desync.

@@Procedural_Minds At the 4m 10sec mark is a good example. Maybe it happens when pausing and rewinding the video a lot? Or maybe it was just a section. Dunno. Thanks for the vid.

[@Procedural_Minds]

@@tmanook Huh. I saw it too when I clicked straight to 4:10. But once I clicked to rewind back it synced up again. I think KZbin is just having hiccups potentially. Or it'd consistently be off there. Definitely unexpected though.

I appreciate the effort you put into this, but I really couldn't follow what you are doing. I watched it once, and then had to watch it all over again at 0.5x playback speed because you were talking at auctioneer speed and were flicking open and closed the dialog boxes filled with dozens of options and settings, faster than they could be read, let alone fully understood. You were placing blocks, but I couldn't work out how you knew which blocks to choose as all the block-names and settings had non obvious names, and it wasn't clear (to me at least) how a lay-person would know how to make these particular choices. The video seemed to be about feedback, but the block diagrams didn't seem to have obvious feedback paths lines, as I think the feedback seemed to be partially implemented with variables, which jumped the information all over the diagram to non-obvious places for unclear reasons. I'm sure all this is all terribly "Basic" (as you put it) to someone already familiar with Blueprints and PCG, but as a C++ programmer, to me this was all smoke-and-mirrors, and very much not "Basic". Sorry about that, maybe it's just me. 🤷‍♀

[@Procedural_Minds]

This tutorial definitely assumes you're already familiar with PCG and loops to begin with. As this is a more of an intermediate level compared to just starting out with PCG.

​@@Procedural_Minds Just as a counterpoint to the first part of his feedback: I appreciate when videos respect my time. If I want to read a dialog box, pausing the video isn't a big deal, nor is rewinding a piece that I didn't catch the first time.
