jumbotron mesh jumbotron unreal setup jumbotron in game

just made a live jumbotron in unreal!

how to do it: make a renderTarget texture that uses a sceneCapture2d camera and add it to the emissive of an unlit material so it's fullbright. #gamedev #unreal

sorry, thought that was your goal (to sell it). since people don't buy html games but love to buy executables it's a good option for selling html games on steam etc. ps it works on a mac (and linux too)

for freeware, not worth the effort. simply zip it up and post as a web game on itch. best wishes

had to wait until the servers weren't so overloaded, but I'm proud to announce that Quake Brutalist Jam 3 is out now!
there's a standalone version that works like a game for those who don't own quake too!

this week I did a lot of #gamedev coding for a speedrunning game's movement! eventually I hope to implement wall running, drifting, and wingsuit gliding, all the time trying to make it "feel faster" using tricks like a speed boost that changes fov and adds speed lines to the edge of the camera

As I was growing up, I thought I wanted to be many things:

An inventor
A magician
An artist
A musician
An animator
A writer

Turns out, I didn't have to pick! I could be ALL of it. Gamedev is every bit of my dreams and so much more. I love this career!

they're not all great GAMES but I had a great time making every one of them: it's such a cliche but it's the people that really matter when you look back

the eureka moments shared with a compatriot as we struggle through the process, those little celebrations together along the way

made a wormhole lightspeed effect in js today. =)

I photoshopped a star picture into a ring-shaped transparent sprite, then in code draw eight copies at different scales based on the current time. whole thing is 25 lines of code yay
