Unreal N00b

Couple of updates incoming... I got the "entering mech" anim to a state last week where it's good enough for proof of concept. That and I'm tired of staring at it. More updates continued in the thread... (🧵) #gamedev #unrealengine #ue5 #ue5study #solodev #metroidvania #indiedev

@TimSweeneyEpic @jdcollado @BackersGamesF Respect Tim. Thanks for correcting and doing the right thing for this family. I’m sure company policy will also be updated to ensure future HR decisions account for these rare but heart breaking scenarios. 😢

@BackersGamesF Epic is in contact with the family and will solve the insurance for them. There is high confidentiality around medical information and it was not a factor in this layoff decision. Sorry to everyone for not recognizing this terribly painful situation and handling it in advance.

ARE YOU HAPPY NOW @TimSweeneyEpic ???????

@flamesfever I like the haul - a replacement player and 4 assets. Weegar is 32 and will be ancient by the end of his contract. Great asset management imo.

Trading Weegar was the right thing to do in this "rebuild" he was declining, and time to build this properly #Flames

@Serellan Brotato heard you on this.

So here is an idea. Make a cool single player game. Add a multiplayer mode. Maybe even a couple.

UGOMEKU NOTE is an RPG with a wonderful hand drawn art style, having rhythm-action combat and perhaps must impressively, is being made with RPG Maker MV

Awesome video where @DoubleFine show you their in-engine Unreal workflows 😍 #uetips youtube.com/watch?v=VMa5xb…

This tool is insane. Upload any image. Move camera in 3D space. And get a completely new camera angle 🤯 Also it’s free! 👇

@Emilie_Stabell What if he spun (twirled) and his tentacles swung out while he spun.

A look into the process: construction pass, clean lines, then color. Lmk what types of attacks you'd expect this enemy to have :) we need 2-3 for this guy

@Johd_onx @TheBigGame Looking for clues, this ain’t it!

@thebiggame i'm trapped and shaking, Trying to remember where i am, Hoping someone listens, I can't see exits, Sounds lie. Maybe this reaches you, Every breath hurts, Anxiety spikes, Nothing feels real, Still i talk. No windows, Only dark, Time warps, Head ringing, I can't think, Nerves frayed, Goodness help me. I keep whispering. Just in case, Unknown footsteps pass, Silence answers, Terrifying. Walls close in, Air thin, Nails scrape, Trying to focus, Every mark matters, Desperate. Take this seriously, Observe closely. What you're reading, All of it, Seems urgent, Tense, Enough. You're still here, Obviously reading, Unaware, Right? Time slipped, Ironic, Maybe smile, Ending now. Laughter feels earned, Oddly enough, Linger on that.

@thebiggame 1 mill?

@MrBeast You’re not nice 😆

For the record it’s very hard and lots of steps. Good luck!

No one has solved the $1,000,000 puzzle in our SuperBowl ad yesterday. You could win a million dollars from your pc today 🤪

@flamesfever @RingOfFireCGY 20 minutes TOI, and an even +\- Love to see the kids getting some reasonable ice time.

@RingOfFireCGY Hands down it was his best game, and probably the Flames best dman last night

This Zayne Parekh pass leads to a Matvei Gridin scoring chance. This might be Parekh's best game in the NHL this season. 🎥: Sportsnet | #Flames

Hybrid 3d + GenAI is the future of VFX, no doubt. Look at the high freq clothing deformation. These details are very difficult to achieve with vertex deformers. Conversely, precise motions / acting and reframing with prompt-based GenAI is virtually impossible.

Today i created The Metroidvania Collective Discord server and I invite any indie and solo #metroidvania devs to join. We can help and connect with each other. Wouldn't it be awesome to be friends with 20 devs that support you? Let's make it happen! discord.gg/Uxz8vgGYWe

3D game dev is about to change forever. Claude can now talk directly to Unity / Unreal / Blender... so you can build crazy 3D scenes + game with just prompts. 3 MCPs to try this weekend. Bookmark this. 1. Blender MCP

@jobutsu_uk @mattworkman Here it is from 2023, it’s a really iterative way to mod.

@jobutsu_uk @mattworkman Also good for wall textures etc…

interested to try this with MetaHumans but also terrified

The Control Rig Workshop has been updated with all project files including over 230 slides of information. We’ve also decided to make the course free forever - stay tuned. 🎁 #controlrig #rigging #animation #ue5 #gamedevelopment #vfx #UnrealEngine dev.epicgames.com/community/lear…

@MjTheHunter Even that is cool. I learned a bit about vlogging/dev-logging when I was doing a bit of YouTubing. People like a story, so showing some of those perspectives (joint dev with the wife) are interesting things to include. The best devlog I saw out there was done by @Pontypants

@HoobTall Might need to do it as a joint thing with my wife as she's primarily the one producing the visuals and tinkering around in procreate. But yeah all assets are made in there, and animated in dreams

I think I want to get started on a devlog series

Nick Pattas experimented with randomized behavior techniques in Unreal Engine 5 using only textures to create this lightning system VFX. Breakdown: 80.lv/articles/creat…
