I've worked on a few traversal systems in my time, but this is probably my best work. This is a really cool game made by an amazing team. I can't wait for everyone to get their hands on it!

@robmclac I just have it as a tab in the same slot as my details/world settings. Converts it from an annoying pop-up to a neat little thing on the side.

the Unreal editor experience... will no one rid me of this turbulent window??

@geoffkeene I imagine the tentacles use a simple control rig. Either in a linked animbp or in a post process animbp. Kinda like where you'd put a ponytail or jiggle bones.

@NOTRobertHarper Animations all being additive just on those bones? (e.g. every idle character isn't playing an anim with tentacles I assume)

Okay, how do you set up secondary skeletal animations on models like this in Unreal? Since all the characters use the same skeleton - right?

...then in Official PlayStation Magazine.

Clearing out the family home. Found this gem in an old issue of PC Gamer.

oh no

@joewintergreen There is this fix from nvidia you could try. Helped a similar issue I was having with dialogues and dropdowns in Unreal. nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/de…

@hippowombat Never bumped into any problems myself jumping between 3 devices.

UE5 Preview 1 has a revised third person template. They've got some funky new stuff in the animation blueprint. Really digging these new "State Aliases". Seems to be a way to share transition criteria between states without adding a ton of connections to the state machine.

Today, is a good day.

this is about the extent of my downpicking ability

@Corryborry117 If your budget can stretch, I'd opt for an LG CX. The contrast and blacks that OLED provides is simply incredible and can't be matched by LCD. I have a B8 myself, which missed out on the 120Hz and VRR. Otherwise, a damn fine TV. They're also thin A F. currys.co.uk/gbuk/tv-and-ho…

Mostly.

I decided to stress test the #ue5 project upgrade with my ol' honours project from 4.24. Shockingly, it mostly works.

@RMMcLachlan @joewintergreen I swear there is a better way to do this. But I couldn't find a magic checkbox to deal with this. Spawn particles as an actor rather than a component, so then when the host actor is destroyed, the particle actor remains intact.

@joewintergreen Funny, that’s what @NOTRobertHarper always says about my ideas too, after a big sigh

It brings me so much joy to say this. I ranked up :')
