After stuffing myself full of Xmas meats and candy, I have finally emerged from my coma-stasis to finish the first official Sunset Boost trailer! #Fortnite @FNCreate

@waifu19738 @clemmygames luckily that low effort slop-maker would have had to pay 100 dollars x15 to publish that many games on Steam. imagine if they didn't have that baseline guard (ie. roblox/fortnite creative)....

@clemmygames While the increase in games being released is a good thing, I wonder just how many of those are low effort copy-and-paste games (like one developer reasling 15 puzzle games each for a different fetish or whatever). Wish Steam would crack down more on them.

Never been so hyped to play a car game before, looking forward to this evening!

@snoozkii Yeah, I'm happy to see it! Godot looks really nice :D

@hellobard It seems like a lot of uefn devs have been branching out into other engines lately, including myself. I've been having so much fun with godot :D

Been enjoying my time making a small and fun little game for Steam the last few weeks. It's been nice to take a break from Fornite Creative/UEFN and focus on something that I know will last for years rather than 1 month without breaking 😅

If you've played Ghost of Tsushima, Control, Alan Wake 2, Injustice 2, Black Ops 6, Hellblade 2, Split Fiction, Hellblade 2, Hogwarts Legacy, Mortal Kombat 1, Suicide Squad, Jedi Survivor, or Horizon Forbidden West - you've seen this hair artist's work either directly or have seen someone he trained personally to create hair at this quality. He is the same artist that taught me how to make hair for games. I spent time with him in his hometown Hyderabad, India. His name is Naky Solanki. Him and his team are the 1992 Chicago Bulls of hair for real-time games and no gamers know who he is.

@IndieGameJoe Wow! Well done! 👏

Guys, look at THAT graph!😅

@stevelauda_ It's currently set to Burn 10% of the Rainforest Token-usage mode. Please wait 5 years before using.

Who is actually using Claude Design? Anyone?

Claude vs. Blender MCP for creative work went like this for me:

MotionBricks from Nvidia looks really impressive

@GameDevMicah If you can do your own marketing effectively and have a game that’s easy to be interested in, publishers should be taken out of that equation.

Imagine paying Steam 30% and then also having a separate publisher take another 30%, then taxes, baby that’s 5-7% for you and ryan to split, it’s not bad. I’ve seen a lot worse!

So I'm not actually leaving for UEFN for Steam entirely. Just saying that these dorks are what made Fortnite Creative into the dumpster fire it currently is. I still think this platform can get better eventually when UE6 comes out and if they can separate it from Fortnite BR...

@MFTFGames haha yeah, it's hilarious how it's presented. imagine a game developer trying to release a game totally untested! Testing and refining is 50% of this craft.

@hellobard Funny thing is, when they ACTUALLY try this, it will not work and they INDEED need to play the game LOL...

Ok, these guys can have the platform now, good luck. I guess they already owned it. I'm leaving for Steam, kthxbye.

@GameDevMicah The slop is certainly real there too but at least players are a little easier to please/older

@GameDevMicah Haha certainly not, but I want to make software that works for longer than 2 months without 20 updates

Hilariously, this guy claims to never opened the game once even though you have to run the game to actually get it mem-tested and published. Article is 100% AI-produced...

@MaestroShark Wishing you all the best of luck! The time after finishing college was a great time, follow your dreams and don't take the overly secure overpaid jobs :D

Today I’m overwhelmed by peace. A few weeks left in college, then a new chapter. Ready to return to my creative roots full-time, to embrace each of the arts of game dev: programming, storytelling, music, modeling… The uncertainty, and the breadth of opportunity is exhilarating. To the end, it’s the people; the colleagues and players that make it worthwhile.

@MaestroShark @ricomadiko Haha yeah, I'm sure the AAA folks will love the UEFN-lifestyle 🤣

@hellobard @ricomadiko The power of UE combined with the bugs of UEFN… 😂

Pretty hyped to check out this session (which I'm hoping will be on YouTube at some point) 😅

@ricomadiko Yup, UEFN will merge with UE to become UE6, as far as I understand it anyway...

@hellobard UE6!! Oh my!!
