@mwmoedinger Those stairs. That tile 🤩

Them: so like for renovations, do you do the whole building or just like pick out colors and pretty stuff Me: 💪

@TheOtherTravGuy Went back to play Eternal and I think I like Dark Ages's _combat_ more. Eternal's secrets and movement is still better IMO. A few tweaks to levels and pacing and Dark Age's would be a clear winner!

I feel like I've finally hit the point with Doom: Dark Ages where I understand how I'm supposed to play. Like, I'm coming out of nightmare fights barely taking any damage and completely controlling the battlefield. Fuck it, I think it's better than Eternal at this point.

@UnderTheMayo @literaryparadox I mostly agree, but it does lack a bit of depth from Eternal. I still wish it had a bit more encouragement of weapon/rune/melee swapping. Maybe more depth in upgrades as well. Platforming was more fun in Eternal as well. Just a few tweaks and I think I'd prefer TDA

@literaryparadox yeah it's wild for me. Something about it just feels right. As a whole game I probably prefer eternal. But strictly talking about combat, I think I MIGHT like TDA better.

I'm slowly preferring The Dark Ages' combat to Eternal's. The gameplay goes that HARD! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

@itsGregorski Yes it is a pain! Especially with everyone's monitors slightly different too

@paulcsmith Thanks!! I’ll have things tweaked more by the next time I post I’m sure - yeah it always feels darker on socials but usually doesn’t feel that way in editor, for me. My eternal battle with getting the values right, haha.

@brotzky Thank you for kicking out the trend of boring flat design. This is gorgeous! I hope to see more UI like this in the next few years 🤞

We've launched Manual Portfolios in Fey! Say goodbye to your clunky excel sheet 👋

@GrulkeLamonte Ah thanks! That is incredible!

Found out ChatGPT can do lumber takeoffs. I’m shocked at how accurate it is. 🤯

@itsGregorski Looks really smooth!

Walking cycle done all through curves and a timer 👌 surprised how hasty it comes across!

@QuodSoler Agree. Strength of the blue matters a lot too. IMO if you’re doing global it can still look good but needs to be quite low strength by default

Motion Blur can look really good if it's used "per-object" like in Sekiro. The way those animations get smoothed out and extra blur is applied on parries makes them look so good.

@scionti_design 🤩

@paulcsmith Thank you no light bounce just balance atmo with sky light

@Metal_Eden Great idea. It has good bones and with a bit of polish it’ll be fantastic!

A message from the METAL EDEN team.

@itsGregorski Box type sounds cool. If I played on PC I’d definitely give your game a try. Looks great!

Iterated the projectile shader again, and got a box type projectile working.

@UnderTheMayo All linear. Was really hoping for some secrets or exploration. Especially since it had currency for upgrades. Seems ripe for adding an incentive to explore and find more

In the Metal Eden demo, has anyone found secrets or exploration in the levels? Is it just one room to the next?

@UnderTheMayo That would be awesome! I’ve played it and enjoyed it. I’m curious what you think about it

I'm thinking maybe Metal Eden demo review.

@itsGregorski I started last night. Really liked what I played so far!

Metal Eden is pretty fantastic. Big Doom 2016 vibes, great integration of movement mechanics with gameplay loop, and levels give a nice Ghostrunner feel. I'm very, very into this one.

@thomasbrushdev Really digging some of the latest promo pics and videos

@peyart13 @UnrealEngine I’ll definitely give it a go! I love that you’re sharing your expertise with the world

@paulcsmith @UnrealEngine In smaller tests, it's been reasonable for using on personal environments. But I haven't used it in larger formats with a lot more involved.

Hey all, Had fun with this new workflow. I setup landscape blend materials with nanite displacement in @UnrealEngine 5.5. This is pretty powerful for material blending in the new versions. Hope this vid helps with setup! youtu.be/UAaBORd2SrU #gameart #gamedev #ue5
