@TheMirzaBeig Folks spent a long time in the 80's and 90's wishing for better fidelity from VHS. Sucks to spend a hundred hours making clean art, and it's blurry and weird on tape. I'd be insulted if my art was remembered for looking that bad, but used as a basis to make things look ~worse~??

Hey Kiwi friends! Would like this to go wide for #nzgdc! The Keynote started a bit later than expected, so I wanted to make sure folks who had to run for 10am obligations had a chance to hear the important bits! Thanks for sharing! youtu.be/8a-4eQuQIVM

Curious how we conjured up these spooky fireplace VFX? 🔥👻 VFX Director Jason Johnston breaks it down in today's Level Up episode! 📈 youtu.be/eMK6R15TEc4?fe… #vfx #realtimeeffects #unrealengine #ue5

@LuukFX @tha_rami That's unfair and unreasonable. This is a fair critique of a person making a horrendous statement, not an endorsement of their opponent.

@tha_rami Do you prefer Trump?

The day has arrived! And with that we wanted to share what you can expect to find in the world of Windblown, while also taking a look to the horizon, and what's to come as we embark into Early Access 🙏 Oh, and did we mentioned launch times? 👀 store.steampowered.com/news/app/19116…

@Acerola__t @BenSimsTech No the answer is Godot because the gizmos look cooler

Your friendly reminder that a shader is literally the GPU code that gets executed to render something. If the shader is -identical- between engines, the result will be the same. The only way this can differ is things like post processing, which I thought would be kind of obvious.

@MichaelG_3D Sorry, it's Jon* Cartwright

@MichaelG_3D Having just been at a conference where John Cartwright spoke, I can say with their confidence that right now in the current economic climate that you need a demo that best represents the game you're intending to make in both mechanically and aesthetically (within reason).

Old VHS-like post-process material in UE5. It's improved version that I created before. I've also put together an overview of the node, which I hope will be easier to understand than before. ref:youtube.com/watch?v=TrlzE5… #UE5 #postprocess 古いビデオ風ポストプロセス。 UE5向け。

The Most Important Part of My Keynote. If you are building games as a business, You need to be building tightly scoped games with small teams on a short timeline. #NZGDC
