Fun with spooky lighting for #screenshotsaturday. Fun fact: I made a component that causes any actor -- like this lighting rig -- to follow the viewport camera. No need to fiddle with un/possessing or piloting an actor. :) #unrealengine #procgen #usability #dungeoncrawler

This is a pretty big hobby milestone for me-- a real corridor & chamber solution that works with PCG partitions. Now I can experiment with more interesting generators for the corridors and chambers themselves, and interior/exterior features.

A lot of open worlds are just excessive set dressing. You don’t often see open worlds that are built with the intent to support future work. I think BL4’s world is going to keep giving for a long time to come.

Rolled credits on #Borderlands4 last night. Gearbox built a super impressive, layered open world and filled it with lots of fun things to see and do. It’s a rock solid platform on which they can build DLC and maybe even new features.

I've just released version 1.1.0 of my #UE5 SDF Plugin. Now featuring some extra material functions, some basic materials and this nifty interactive explainer / examples / tutorial window

This year, we organized four RED Summer Camps for our amazing REDs’ children to enjoy. With movie trips, trampolines, and the best counselors, the adventure was full of creativity, learning, and unforgettable fun!

NvPresent is part of NVIDIA's drivers, so the problem may be downstream of UE.

An AI-generated concept screenshot depicting a "timberpunk" dungeon crawling game.

💡 Today's insight: "timberpunk."

I don't know why this didn't occur to me earlier but it captures in one word much of the #Thief adjacent aesthetic I've had in my head for my dungeon crawling game. And it gets #ChatGPT closer to my target than anything else I've tried.

The Old Wellington Inn in Manchester, being jacked up on stilts to the new street level during redevelopment. It definitely looks like it's about to waddle out of the picture.

Despite easily being the most British fighting vehicle ever developed, the mock-Tudor AT-AT programme was sadly cancelled due to budgetary concerns

Did I mention the 'behemoth' free expansion for Bulwark coming later this month, will also feature the ability for your regular surveyor to be upgraded to a higher tier?

For those who didn't know, Dungeon is already available for wishlist, like and follow to keep up with the news!

technically Silksong boss nerfs are actually just bug fixes

Really enjoyed the demo and am looking forward to this release.

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?

It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

I remember when curved surfaces were a back-of-the-box marketing bullet.

Brutal takedown.

The poster used to feel that way, too.

We *won’t* nail it on the first try.

We *will* make mistakes and we *will* throw stuff away, and that *must* be okay. (If it isn’t, that indicates much bigger problems.)

Time spent failing fast is time well spent.

I think this sort of thinking is exactly the trap that this advice is meant to help us avoid.

And I think a lot of this thinking stems from a fear of being wrong, and the belief that you can’t afford — literally, too little money or time — to make mistakes.

My brother offered up an alternative I like better: "Give yourself something to edit."

easy fix: just decide

Cleaning up SDF physics objects with a portable hole. Oddly satisfying.
