"Creating digital art masterpieces" must be some new slang for: "I Steal from people I want to be my peers and colleagues.".

There's a bug in Unreal where Text Wrapping inside of a Scale Box creates this circular logic that causes the text to resize constantly.

It's like my PTSD Bug. Every time it comes up, I remember staring into an extremely strong gin drink and rethinking my entire life one night.

There could not be a game more thoroughly up my alley in terms of art style and gameplay...

Sadly they failed to disclose on Steam that it has Generative AI Art in it.

Everyone I've ever met who did film before coming into games are absolute masters of the craft. Wish I had taken those classes in university

Intro to Virtual Cinematography | Course Want to produce cinematic-quality shots in Unreal Engine? Watch this course for an introduction to the Cine Camera Actor.

I missed this course last time I was looking thru the big list of Cinematic courses, but this seems pretty close to what I was looking for, thanks!

I'll take a second look! The only one I saw was a "This is what a track is... this is how to create a sequence...", whereas I'm looking more for the actual decision making, shot selection, etc.

Hey #GameDev got a question for you:

Are there any good Classes for Cinematic Camera work in Unreal out there?

The only advice I've gotten so far is: "Go to film school, lol." which isn't workable.

The only time a journalist wants to chat is when there's an exciting game in front of us, and that is the topic. Never once have I been asked: "Hey Nick, whatcha playing for fun?".

As far as how the Sausage is made: Most of us won't shut the hell up about it if you ask, it's just boring stuff.

Magic circle mentioned! We are on the board guys!

In trying to figure out a type stable way of chaining inheritance and accessing parent classes without reflection... I think I just reinvented the Unreal Header Tool...

No wonder it took 7 years... /s

The Cell Processor certainly was a thing wasn't it?

That really comes down to the art direction which is so not my realm of expertise. But crafting a vision for the game and ensuring it is cohesive across the various disciplines is the core of it.

You can do a lot with text, wiggly cards, and particle fx.

We try! Usually by making a lot of extra work for ourselves but hopefully it helps us stand out!

Talking with Game Engine devs from the PS3 era is always an exercise in awe and horror.

"Oh, our shaders are like that because everything in-game is a skeletal mesh."

"Like... The grass?"

"Skeletal mesh."

"The buildings?"

"Skeletal mesh."

"SKYBOX!?"

"🙂"

Speaking as someone who is working on both a Card Game: store.steampowered.com/app/2781470/...

And an RPG: www.fateboundgames.com

They are such different monsters it's hard to compare the two.

RPGs are an enormous art burden. Extremely Apples to Oranges comparison as far as the content required.

Each of those 50 abilities is gonna have its own timing, animations, scripted logic, etc... When for card based games you can usually define everything in data via keywords.

@dphrygian.com (The Developer) is a friend and a very cool guy who sometimes posts progress on it here on Bsky!

David and Gretchen have been doing amazing work on the Game AI and Card Battler side of things, and I'm looking forward to their own thoughts, and if you are not yet following them you should: @dphrygian.com @gcmaybe.bsky.social

Future Facing, but if there's interest I can do a write up on how we handled Narrative Scripting, VO, or I can do a deep dive into how we structured our core gameplay code in Unreal to achieve faster compile times if there's some true sickos in my follower list.

This card battler has you beating the Devil at his own game, accompanied by the vocal talents of Baldur's Gate 3's Emma Gregory Minthara is helping you take on the devil

I'M GLAD SOMEONE IS, IT'S VERY HARD TO BREAK THROUGH THE DISCOVERABILITY BARRIER BETWEEN THE DESTRUCTION OF TRADITIONAL GAMING PRESS BY VENTURE CAPITAL, TO THE FLOOD OF NEW RELEASES HOURLY ON STEAM, THE ABILITY TO GET EYES ON GAMES IN THIS ECONOMY IS MUCH HARDER THAN IT WAS. IN THIS ESSAY I WILL-
