The companion project for my #PacktPublishing book is progressing pretty well...

These days, I'm working on the UI elements. Thanks to @kenney.nl for his amazing (and free!) assets.

So you’re crafting something for an all-knowing megacorp that owns your data, your soul, and your dog microchip? A few clicks in #UnrealEngine to add a looming tower and an all-seeing eye and you are finished. A totally original idea! ...or, is it?

Juicy...

I'm building a new UE5 plugin to be able to load VDB files at runtime. Any VDB on your disk. Only supporting static VDBs for now. Pretty happy with the results so far considering how challenging that was.

Kitbashing with the #UnrealEngine Modeling Tools a proper mecha-boss for my upcoming Packt book. This tool is so much fun to use and easy to work with even for a programmer like me.

I have partnered again with Packt to author a new #UnrealEngine book! I will be writing about advanced #CPlusPlus programming techniques.
This time, I'll be using the amazing assets from #Quaternius.

More updates very soon!

Some screenshot from Giulia's final project "Interludio"; an amazing mix-and-match of physical #sculpting, illustrations, #photogrammetry and #UnrealEngine cinematics. Congrats Giulia, that was an amazing journey!

A small update to my maze generation system based on Wang Tiles. I have created a tool widget that can generate persistent levels with some tile variations.

If you live near Milan, IT make sure you don't miss this unmissable event: cotoletta8bit.carrd.co

#gamedev #indiedev #event #game #cotoletta8bit

I've recently been hired for a game developed in #UnrealEngine that has been stopped for a couple of years.
Working on such projects is always inspiring as you need to 'get into' the mind of other developers.
You always learn something new...
