We've pushed some big updates, and have started private playtesting. Ping me a message if you think you can do this level ;)

@henningsanden @Snefer @HelderHP @EuropaGame The main thing you shouldn't really be doing in blueprints is tight loops of heavy calculation. Things like fluid simulation, or large crowds. The main thing you can't do is messing with deeper ue internals, you are more limited on tweaking the rendering pipeline and private API

@Snefer @HelderHP @Chozabu @EuropaGame What are some examples of what can’t be done, and why is that?

Can you make a whole game in UE with only blueprints or do you need to code at some point?

@HelderHP @henningsanden @EuropaGame I actually did end up doing a little C++ (in a plugin), some custom damp/interp functions, a function to force grass to load, some functions to get frame/render time. That said - I do agree BP generally wasn't at the top of the issues when it came to performance or limitations.

@henningsanden @Chozabu did all of the code for the @EuropaGame with blueprints, and we're very glad we did. We still had access to all the performance tools needed to get the game running on Switch1 at flat 30fps 1080p.

Hovertron - our 2D boarding game, is progressing nicely. Let us know what you think!

This week on Tiny Game Chronicles, we soar through Europa's dreamy landscape on Jupiter's moon, uncovering humanity's lost history. Soaring high! x.com/HelderHP; x.com/Chozabu; @FutureFriendsVG Apple: tinyurl.com/z8vrmjjn Spotify: tinyurl.com/2w8epec6

We’re doing an AMA on r/NintendoSwitch to talk about Europa! 💖 Join us in an hour and a half, and ask anything you want about our cozy indie game. 😊 ➡️ reddit.com/r/NintendoSwit…

@SteenMcGonagle @EuropaGame It could be some sort of binary encryption.

@SteenMcGonagle @EuropaGame there more ( ≖‿ ≖ ) @EuropaGame

I'm playing @EuropaGame and I noticed these markings either side of a door. They are a little hidden. It makes me wonder if these are a code or have another meaning. Or they could mean absolutely nothing and are just a fun design element.

7 years ago, I started making my dream game while balancing a AAA dev job. Today, it's finally out on Steam and Switch. Making Europa has changed my life, and I hope you love it as much as I've loved making it. 💖

To achieve it, I used a single Niagara actor to read the screen-space velocity directly from the GBuffer and apply that to a render target by using a Grid2D interface to loop through each screen pixel. The rest is mapping, manipulating and masking that in the material :) #Shaders

@CosmotownDotCOM You have a scammer holding domain steammcomunmity. com Compromised a friends account, attempted to get mine too, they are based on moscow, russia

Releasing in exactly three months from today... I'm so excited!! 😊 Is there anything in particular you want to see about Europa before then?

Thank you @IndieXPT for giving @EuropaGame the "Best of the show" award. Kudos to @Chozabu for being the programming wizard and @FutureFriendsVG for the support, and on behalf of our tiny, yet uber talented team, obrigado! 🤘

@Demruth This is fantastic! I wanted to do some of these features in my portals project, but skipped them, thinking it impractical without modifying some engine/physics code. Bravo on finding a way to make this work so well!

Hi Twitter... have a video update for once, after all my talk about tech, optimisations, bugs, etc. Perfectly seamless portals with accurate physics, rendering and collision. Long objects half sticking through double sided multi-entry portals... who needs that? Me, apparently!

@Morph_All @EuropaGame (2/2) 3. Right click the game `manage->browse local files` 4. open `Europa/Saved/Logs` - and share the files there (sending to chozabu@gmail.com should work, or join our discord) Thanks! Hopefully that'll be enough for us to see what's gone wrong and fix it :)

@EuropaGame I can't play the demo, I'm stuck with this little image in the middle of my screen

Have you played the Europa demo already? 💖 Take a 30-minute breather out of your day to relax and see the peaceful sights and sounds we have to offer you. 🦋 Play now: s.team/a/2214880 🌻 Once you're done, share your thoughts on the demo here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

@Morph_All @EuropaGame (1/2) Hey, would be great to fix this - could you send a log? 1. Right click on game in steam, open `properties` then look in `betas`, pick `debug` from the list 2. Let the game update, then try to open it (close if stuck for a few mins)
