I have friends who used to live in that area!
Hope you are doing well Mikko :)

Hah :) yes that place is definitely on my list to visit!
Too bad we didnt get to meet there last September. Next time!

Well, today’s the big day! Moving to Stockholm, Sweden :)
Living in 5 different countries is my limit, so hopefully this is the last one.

Almost 10 years ago I made a little example on Github to learn mesh generation in Unreal and play with procedural and fractal algorithms.
I just upgraded the project to Unreal 5, fixed a bunch of issues, and added a new mesh type that looks more like a proper tree :)

Unreal 5.7 is out :) enjoy!

I still have mine!

Sadly I'm not able to attend UEFest Stockholm due to illness :( I hope you will all have a great time!

Even though its not a genre I usually enjoy, I decided to give Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 a go, and I'm glad I did!

One of the most unique games I've played, probably one of my top 10 favorites.

This is going to win all the awards this year :) #GOTY

I will be at UnrealFest Stockholm in September, come say hi and talk game AI with me :)

How will the new gear system affect drops from existing raids?

Damn, I hope you recover soon! All the best :)

nope, standard PS5

This tech demo 100% did, that was not a lie. But its important to remember this was a tech demo, not the full game which is still being worked on.

We are just as excited as everyone else to dig into the full game once it launches!

Will do! We all miss you, hope you are doing well! :)

Yesterday Unreal 5.6 Preview was released, lots of goodies in this one :)
Take a look at the updated roadmap for an idea of what's in this release:

Its been a while since a game 100% hooked me from the start, but Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 has definitely done so! World building, story, characters and systems are all amazing here and I look forward to really dive in for the next 100? hours or so :)

Finally upgraded my keyboard, got one of those fancy Keychron Q6 Max now.. damn the thing is smooth and responsive! Been using a WASD Code for the last 11 or so years.

Hey,
We have so many bugs fixed in 5.6, so probably the best thing you can do is test your issues there (by compiling source from Github) and report to us if still broken.

You can also engage with the community on the #ai channel on the Unreal Source Discord. I try to frequent discussions there.

I just started playing Assassins Creed: Shadows, and really enjoying it! Weird how that "internet rage" often feels disconnected from reality.

Ah yeah forgot about that :) I remember now filing two separate tax returns the short time I lived in the US.

Europe: Hold my beer. Typical to have tax rates here over 40% :) but then again we have those terrible things like social health insurance :D
