@ASA2FLY Hiya! I've been trying to study for my PPL written test and I can't log into the ASA Library. It's always had issues off and on, but now it just keeps saying invalid email. I'm in the main website, but can't log into the library. Is the site down?

@FoadZone Oh I can’t wait!

Time to toss some FOADs around. 🏀💣

Let's just pretend that Fortnite Discovery launched an "Adventure" tab...One can dream right? Created in UEFN @JayVilGameDev @KentitoRollins #UEFN #FortniteCreative @fncreate

@Wertandrew We're happy the community has this now. Can't wait to see what you all make!

I have been waiting for this setting since 2019 when I was flown to Epic and literally the first feature I asked was the ability to have an NPC with a variety of styles that fit every theme. I am extremely happy rn, what a day. Epic has finally done it. Time to make some killer content.

Secret of Mana is one of my favorite games of all time. It is part of the reason I wanted to make games. I teared up seeing this. I’m looking forward to this game. youtu.be/9biJipMQ-9Y?si…

I cover what "juicing" is and how to do it in UEFN. In short, it's about emotional design. How to make something feel good.

My Unreal Fest talk on juicing your game mechanics in UEFN is now available! I hope it helps all in the community who could not attend Unreal Fest 2023. Thank you all for the feedback and support! #UEFN #UnrealFest #Fortnite #FortniteCreative youtu.be/SgJhZw7-46s?si…

@DolphinDom @SeedohFN This one!? twitter.com/JayVilGameDev/…

@SeedohFN @JayVilGameDev (it actually looks like his session hasn't been posted yet, but the post still contains a breakdown of the different things animation controller can do)

I made a lucky wheel in verse with the use of only .MoveTo() and math to simulate realistic acceleration and deacceleration. No animation used. #UEFN

@SlothGames99 I think it’s cool! The games are interesting and bite sized, though some are deep. I found out that something I wrote like 7 years ago was packaged with it which is wild. It’s all about pulling out the IDE and coding something for it which is fun!

@JayVilGameDev How’s the Arduboy? I’ve contemplated getting one in the past.

My haul from Portland Retro Game Expo. I worked hard this year so I rewarded myself. I made my friends choose a Turbo Grafx game based on its cover and we played them all night. It was a riot. I bought them Arduboys so we can hack away together. #PRGE #PRGE2023

@AwsmZero62 Good to know! I wasn’t sure if I wanted to risk my 360! I think what I should do is pick up a series X!

@JayVilGameDev Funny enough, that Time Splitters game is backwards compatible with the Xbox Series X

@CardinOvO I bought the whole lot for a good price. I have not played it yet!

@JayVilGameDev Kasumi Ninja 🤣 It's bonkers

I’m happy except the Neo Geo AES I bought didn’t work 😓. I hope @ogdoublejumpvg can help me out when they open back up later this week. I was excited to duke it out with friends but we’ll have to wait until next year.

Hello from Portland Retro Game Expo! Found some classics! #PRGE

Installed Pop OS tonight on an older Laptop. I really like it! It's zippy, small and I haven't run into a lot of the usual configuration issues.

@ZandyUEFN It hasn't yet! I'll be tweeting out a link when it goes live.

@JayVilGameDev Do you know if it has been uploaded yet?

If you’re at #UnrealFest2023, I invite you to come to my talk about low lift ways to “Juice” your game mechanics in UEFN! 10:30am, Room 257 For those who can’t attend, it will be recorded and I’ll post the video later! #Unreal #UEFN #UnrealFest

@SlothGames99 They look ALIVE!! Good work! It was my pleasure! Thank you for attending and the feedback, I hope it helps!

Thanks @JayVilGameDev for the session on "Juicing" your game mechanics!

@X_TyFighter and I have a working tycoon with all mechanics done in verse. Hoping to publish in the next couple of days but have to "juice" our mechanics first. Players will be able to pet the dog and every other animal 🙂

Thanks to everyone at #EpicGames who put in a lot of hard work during #UnrealFest to help so focus on talks, demonstrating and connecting with #UEFN game developers. I look forward to watching recorded talks and sifting through all your feedback! #UnrealFest23
