Seamless loading of worlds in WE GO - live now in Fortnite #UEFN #Fortnite

This is one of 16 worlds in the game so far. Adding more this week

Just a little moment from my game recorded during last week's playtest. Gotta watch out for those Bippos

There's an informal playtest tonight - 9pm eastern time - I'd love it if you gave it a go! It's free and I promise you will NOT BE BORED. To play, search this code in Fortnite: 6197-5922-3657

I've spent the last 3 months full time building a new sort of game in UEFN (Fortnite). I'm really happy to be pushing it to Early Access today! #FortniteCreative youtube.com/watch?v=DPCsuN…

In Gamecraft S2E1, @blakeir and I discuss content vs. distribution innovation and its impact on value creation. I'm a bit of broken record on this topic, as Blake reminds me ... 🙄

@DMeville Plenty of indirect light and light-colored walls to bounce it around the room

Anyone have tricks for dealing with posture/computer headaches? I get headaches a lot. Like 5/7 days of the week and it sucks. Been trying to figure out the trigger and how to improve for years, with little success. Decided to try out removing two of my screens today :(

Here it is! The @noclipvideo on my game!🎞️ Hope you all like it! I chat about going solo, why I left Bethesda and of course, The Axis Unseen!🤘 youtube.com/watch?v=nXu7b9…

@nesskain Check out Affinity Photo 2 - easy to move to from Photoshop, affordable (no sub), and has better features in some areas.

I forgot Adobe were scamming like this. And of course even if I'm paying it monthly it's still an "annual plan".

@NPurkeypile Very interesting, thank you!

@lhardi Still technically Nanite meshes, there’s just an lod bias setting that can be used. Not nearly as much of a perf difference as you’d think though. Disabling Lumen/vsm are way bigger gains.

Messing around with some of the options to let people run The Axis Unseen on all kinds of computers. You can shut off the fancy lighting, make models simpler, etc. The goal is to have as many people run the game well as possible. (Zoom in to see the differences)

@AlexJayBrady I'm really liking the lift on this

@DevRelCallum I had it bad for 9 months last year. Turns out it was shoulder impingement from putting weight on my elbow by leaning on my work chair armrest all day. Took my arm off the armrest, did some daily stretching, a few weeks later it was all good.

@FreyaHolmer @tloch14 My high school physics teacher started by pointing his whole hand forward (x), then curling his middle finger (y), then pointing his thumb (z). It's burned in my brain. That said I love Freya's image and use it often.

@tloch14 I really like starting with the thumb, because then it lines up all indices and all standards perfectly X -> Y -> Z R -> G -> B thumb -> index -> middle starting with any other finger feels arbitrary and error prone to me~

I just noticed that the coloring on the fingers is now how I imagine it when I do the test with my own hand. I point forward, and the index finger is Z+. Thumb is +Y and middle finger is +X. I guess it works out ok anyway.

@CalumAWatt I'm starting to think I might be an AI.

@thejaymo I worked on early MMOs and appreciate their importance, but they were weak on UGC. Modding is where that side of things was born.

@thejaymo Quake C felt like the Metaverse. You could join a random Quake server and it would load a custom mod that you didn't have to download ahead of time. Later, the general modding scene around early FPS games was huge. Entire worlds and loads of avatars to be scraped from FTPs.

*Thinks to self* "I'm going to use 90's clipart on my metaverse talk slides" Me searching for cool clip arts 10mins later

@JensClaessens Yes, and some artists will avoid posting original work on sites that are targeted for scraping - like Artstation - because it will feel icky. This will further increase the density of AI art. It's similar to fake news sites and article paywalls devaluing Google search.

What happens when the internet is saturated with AI images? Will the ais just cannibalize their own images? Like a jpeg that has been saved 10000 times? Just derivative dribble after derivative dribble?
