I'm offically declaring war on procrastination in 2025. I'm hoping to finish the first draft of the script for my game and at least get a working prototype for the core gameplay loop finished.

Copyright and Artificial Intelligence This consultation seeks views on how the government can ensure the UK’s legal framework for AI and copyright supports the UK creative industries and AI sector together.

UK Folks.

If you're concerned about the catastrophic impact of generative AI on the creative industries & the theft of artists/writers creations, then you REALLY NEED to complete the below online consultation form.

This is your chance to say 'fuck off, this is not okay'

Any chance of us getting a starter pack directory? It would be alot easier to find accounts related to subjects we're interested in.

Yeah ok, I’m doing this.

Here is some advice for aspiring game writers.

Do not come into games wanting to be a game writer with the attitude that all you are going to write are the cinematics.

Fact: a game’s story is not about the cinematics.

More blue stuff from me (looks like I like color blue), this time made for Prosperous Universe, a browser-based space economy game, perfect for anyone loving spreadsheets and space.

Diversion: Best Version Control for UE | Perforce Alternative Diversion: The best version control for Unreal Engine, Game Development, Virtual Production and 3D Visualization. A scalable, easy alternative to Perforce, Git and SVN for large files, UE, Unity, Godo...

Just switched to Diversion for version control. It’s super easy to use with Unreal Engine and works great for game development. I’d definitely recommend it for a small team, and the free tier is very generous.

Astronaut floating over the surface due to the very low gravity of Phobos.

3rd (in chronological order) piece in Sunrise 2 series. Before going down toward martian surface, the lander visits the surface of Phobos, to set up some relay antennas and sensors. Due to very low gravity of this moon, the lander only needs a few thin supports to stabilize itself over the surface.

Banish the old default Unreal Engine lens flares for good, Cinematic Lens Flares 2.0 offers an appealing replacement with lots more features coming soon.
