After 6 years of learning game development, I am releasing my first indie game today. SPEEDSHOT is out now on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/3984040/SP… #indiegame #gamedev #indiegames

Back in my days we used to laugh at bugs

@NerosCinema One somewhat interesting thing I’ve noticed with any friends just getting into cod is that they really only play warzone. They don’t seem to care about the base game at all, so how many new cod players are even interested in paying for game pass when warzone is free?

It’s safe to say the Call of Duty experiment failed…

Temporal anti aliasing be like

@spoocle This is inspiring as someone that has been cooking up some shorter game ideas 💯

I'm the creator of small, short games. And I do NOT think Steam should change its refund policy. I've made many games that are 30–40 minutes long. Do you know what their refund rate is? About 10%, which is the average refund rate for all games on Steam. The fact that this particular person has a refund rate of around 30% is NOT because the game is short! It's because something is wrong with the game! Moreover, I've seen a refund rate of about 20% on my own games, and often that happened when the game turned out to be not very interesting — and that's normal! People should have the right to get their money back for something they didn't like, didn't suit them, or disappointed them. Yes, there will be a percentage of people who just want to take advantage of the system. But that percentage is incredibly small, and if his game weren't tied to online features, those people would have just pirated it anyway. Steam's policy is on the side of the buyers, and in reality, it doesn't harm the creators of small, good games at all. Let it stay that way.

Another environment that I really love using some of the materials within this pack I actually use a weak version of the "Fake Unlit" material blended with the cel-shader and then the same hand painted brush stroke effect from the video, just on a much smaller and more subtle scale. #ue5 #unrealengine #indiedev

I just released a new asset for UE5 to Fab, a massive library of post process effects. Among my favorite effects is this painterly ghibli effect. Transforming low poly models into something that looks hand painted is a lot of fun, and it uses edge detection to mask a lot of the artifacting that could occur which makes it look pretty solid in motion. #ue5 #unrealengine #gamedev

I really hate how opinionated articles have headlines that try to state their opinion as a fact.

@HorrorUntitled I’ve been working on a little hiking game prototype, do you think it’d be worth buying MS flight sim to see some of these locations?

Walking around Camp Crystal Lake in MS Flight Sim

@IndieGameJoe If you like first person more I’d start with 7 or 8, third person start with 2 or 4

i have never played a Resident Evil game. i don't scare easy. which one do i play first and do i live stream it?

I worked on Lumen Lite which is now out in UE 5.8. It's based on Irradiance Fields with Probe Occlusion, but with automatic probe placement. It is used when the engine is set to Medium GI and Reflections quality. #lumenlite(beta)" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">dev.epicgames.com/documentation/…

@JalexRosa Making the terrain the enemy seems like the best bet IMO. Things like rock slides, avalanches, wobbly bridges/beams that are set up that you have to walk across.

The game will be co-op then, I have 1 more question, what do you prefer? 1 - Fun Combat, penguins can use improvised weapons fight the enemies 2 - enemies are too strong so you should just avoid or use traps. 3 - No enemies, focus on the climbing.

HD-2D ist ein Jackpot für Square Enix: ➡️ geringe Produktionskosten ➡️ kurze Entwicklungszeiten ➡️ mehrere Projekte parallel ➡️ weniger Flop-Risiko und starke Verkaufszahlen Dazu lassen sich alte IPs profitabel wiederbeleben. Während AAA immer teurer wird, wächst HD-2D weiter.

@SeanNoonan @MikeTM_TBB I would assume ue4 and ue5 will both be fine as long as DX11 and DX12 are still supported by hardware

@MikeTM_TBB Depends what you mean by support. If it’s consoles, no idea! But I can’t see there being any problems on the PC front unless they revoke licenses or something?

All of the UE6 chatter was getting me down, but I realised I'm still rocking Unreal 4.27 for my game, so I guess it won't effect me? 😅

Still one of my favorite environments #gamedev #unreal #indiegame

@amablue_ @Vizor_tm @MR3Dev Yeah, realistically BPs will still be an option for indies for another 5-7 years at least

@Vizor_tm @MR3Dev You can still use them to develop and launch a game. Even if depricated they'll still be there for you to use, and even if removed you can still use the version of Unreal you started your project on that has them.

Holy cow my timeline is just doom and gloom about Unreal Engine 6. Ppl this is 3 years away and the blueprint fade out is 5 years away, plz chill out

@stilljuyi @TheoryWiseOS I do, I just like the whole fixed client look. I use legacy when I’m afking on the side because it scales really well

@karmacode_dev @TheoryWiseOS You know there’s a legacy interface right? Even has circular map.

Okay, now RS3 is really feeling like OSRS.

@Niwaessence I like the highlight, but I could see a world where a player does not realize they can pick up all those physics objects like the cardboard boxes because they don't have the highlight

Highlight or no highlight? Its helpful to know if an object is important, but hurts immersion. Idk Should I keep it on, or have it off with an optional toggle? #WishlistWednesday #gamedev #indiegame

The unreal presentation just implied that you are uncreative if you don't use AI. At what point is there a global awakening to the fact that this is obviously insane gaslighting and cope from billionaires investing all their money into a boondoggle

@pcgamer 16/20, some of the middle ones tripped me up big time

Can you name these survival crafting games? Prove you're the real master of roughin' it with a quiz pcgamer.com/games/survival…
