And before anyone says "just don't use child actors" which is the usual advice people give which might as well be "just don't use unreal". ChildActorComponent explicitly have a ComponentInstanceData so obviously they want to support this. It's definitely a regression from 5.5 to 5.6

Ofc ugrading from UE5.5 to UE5.6 breaks ChildActor per-instance data... because why not.... thanks Epic. #ue5 #gamedev

Last weekend we showed our game Berghotel Heist at the Game City in Vienna! Thanks to everyone who played and wishlisted right afterwards!

After hours of debugging and trying really hard to make GUID initialization work.... I finally give up!
You win RerunConstructionScripts and ReregisterComponent bullshit... you win! OnRegister is dead to me!

Good producers are rare. You have to make the impossible work and be a strong decision maker. I have seen plenty just watch the project burn, again, and again

there is a wrong side of UE? :0
you mean like, the non-programing side?

I recently had a crash on an IsValid(Actor) check in Unreal and learned that whenever you use StreamableManager.RequestAsyncLoad with a lambda and need to capture a UObject (like an Actor) it's only safe to capture the object as TWeakObjectPtr instead of the raw pointer!

This f*ing UV Editor might be the worst Unreal Engine feature I have encountered so far. And people make fun of the one in Blender.... if you want to see what peak garbage experience looks like, look no further #ue5 #3dart

Ah, well, you mean bc it's Krampustag? I think it would be a suitable release date, in case we don't make the Halloween deadline

No, we started in mid January

Swag for the next convention has arrived! Let's go! #gamedev #indiegame

I call it the "Burnout State Machine" - feels familiar?
#gamedev #gamedevtalk

I've settled on a title for my talk:
“Just a small multiplayer project, right?” - Reality of after-hours indie game dev, and behind the scenes of Berghotel Heist

Kinda like the atmosphere in this one! 🔦🪞👑

If you haven't already, make sure to wishlist Berghotel Heist on Steam and join our Discord for weekly discussions. #gamedev #horrorgame #indiegame 🎮

Would any of these talks spark your interest:

a) Code, Coffee, and Chaos: The Late-Night Indie Dev Survival Guide
b) "Just a small project, right?" – Managing Scope, Burnout, and Motivation
c) "Still having fun?" – Personal stories from after-hours indie game dev
