@L3x217 Oui.

Alors ça a marché pour Clair Obscur, peut être car RPG tour par tour, mais n’essayez pas la même cascade à la maison :p. je connais d’autres personne qui ont été traumatisés par l’utilisation massive de Blueprints au point de conseiller l’inverse de ce slide xD

@kevinnbass Inferior species disappear it’s called evolution. Not elimination.

The elimination of conservative professors from academia

@Rezus1991 @Snefer @TheTrue_Seal Yup. Ue base significance is subpar and you still have to dev your system reactions to it down the road. There’s no simple tick aggregation system and crowd is meh at best. You do have update rate optimization but that’s far off what’s required for a crowd like unity.

@Snefer @TheTrue_Seal I have to say my initial comment seems incorrect afterwards. Apologies to the OP. Nice thread we got there ;)

Over a decade later, people still debate whether Assassin's Creed Unity was the last true AC game or simply a disaster, but most ignore the fact that its tech was years ahead of its time. Take how the system handles NPCs for example. It's not just about a bunch of random NPCs popping in. The engine is constantly calculating your distance to every person in the street to swap how they act. Up close, they're "real NPCs" who react to what you're doing but as you get further away, their behavior merges into one giant, simplified group to save performance. I built this visualization to show exactly how the system handles NPCs in real time.

@SoftEngineer This is breaking my mind.

A fly-through, testing GI in my WebGPU engine

@Ademola_4life This for unreal. For the love of god ?

[Demo link below] (ssgi noise free) Tried with poisson blur (inspired by n8ao) but honestly I prefer the bilateral blur im using, rendered to low res and upscaled (I added both in the demo btw). I was able to get good performance and keep good quality. I used my ipad for performance test, it usually gets hot but it's cool as mfer now. #threejs #webgpu #ts

@GhislainGir We will miss you but you picked a fantastic house to go to. Best of luck in your new endeavor ! Des bisous

@JKoukourakis these trees looks yummy

A common question I've received is whether the engine is always looking dark and gloomy! That look is just the specific lighting and mood I'm aiming for in my game.

@jantonsson2 Be human

What would you expect from a world class indie publisher?

@jantonsson2 So many layers of corporate bs I could read through the end.

I can’t express deeply enough how sad and disappointed this statement makes me. It isn’t human. It isn’t humane. It is mechanical mouth-washing to try to eliminate the bad taste of what happened. Massive ran into trouble and had to let people go. And this statement belittles the people affected.

@skx_doom Damn am not alone !!!

It's 2025, and Windows still doesn't know what means "Update and Shut Down"

@theredpix So sad they discontinued rtxgi for unreal. Is it arc rider still using 5.0 for that very reason ?

#UnrealEngine This is the same scene with #RTXGI on a RTX 2060 and i3 10100f. It does 155-180fps at native 1440p. Only 1.5gb of vram usage! This should run at 60fps on Switch 2 level hardware at same resolution #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gpu #Raytracing

@skx_doom Let’s do it ! People don’t want lumen anymore

That's right there is a promising start 👀

@TimSweeneyEpic @Jonathan_Blow I miss the simpler day of baked lighting

@Jonathan_Blow I miss the simpler days of clicking on cows.

@DrkFX @raysan5 @UnrealEngine That’s awesome. Any chance it can run on another thread so the debug display won’t freeze/lag the editor for large numbers of?

@Jonathan_Blow You can thank me whenever store.steampowered.com/app/1293730/Br…

What game should I play tonight that does *not* have squiggledybopper stat increases? P.S. I played this demo last night and it is really good for a Snake Puzzle game... try it out if you want. It does not even have stat-increasing bingerbombles. store.steampowered.com/app/3350860/Tr…

@thomasbrushdev I believe 1440p is slowly becoming the norm ? Might be wrong but if I get a game on high setting 60fps on a 1440p am happy (3090) Also steam deck medium setting 45fps is becoming my go to :D

At 4k, the Twisted Tower demo is running.... not amazing. For some with mid range to decent gaming hardware, they are getting 30 or less FPS. What do you think: do gamers expect this, or should it run at 4k, 60fps and silky smooth out of the box? I'm considering 1080p as the default simply because it runs silky smooth with no huccups at 1080p.

@thomasbrushdev Johny watt new ceo of frontier and a huuuge career behind him.

@games_inu Yummy

Shutters vertex anim version 2, modelled the scene and animated the fan and the side pieces like in the reference. Vertex colors are used to specify the type of movement #UE5

@thomasbrushdev I am quite hesitating to put our current project on display. But as time goes by without a publisher it seems that we are making a huge mistake.

Overall, my assessment (for what it’s worth) of the game industry is publishers and AAA are taking a beating. If you’re a self publishing indie though, it seems things are potentially looking bright. For one, if you wanna self publish, just keep grabbing those wishlists and if you’re low budget you can still make a living (if not great money!) If you’re one day going to want a publisher, keep chugging along with development and my hope is this bubble pops, the dust settles, and the publishers that survive are worth looking into. What do you guys think?

@jantonsson2 haha no memes there ! I am way too old to know the latests ;D

@ElsewareE Used to be fries. Now it is cucumber. Oh god I hope this isn’t some “I am too old go get the meme” question 😂

Founded Raw Fury - a 10 y/o “generalist” publisher and we’re doing pretty okay. Have an hour or so to be social on the internet. So… AMA?
