I'm SO done with modern society. I don't want a phone anymore. Living is so goddamn expensive 😭

I just released Unreal Launcher v2.0, a fast, open-source alternative for managing your projects.

You get instant project auto-detection, integrated log monitoring, and a much smoother workflow without the extra friction.

Navlinks are so borderline useless, this is an incredible fix!

Not exactly what we meant by "watch your back," but major points for creativity. 😅 #blooper #gamedev #indiedev #ue5 #indiegames

I had this problem for awhile! 😭 I calculated from my camera instead of getting my forward vector starting from my gun barrel and (I think?) adding (or was it multiplying?) by my camera location. It was so frustrating, but I had some really funny moments with it 🤣

This is where I'm currently at in my Unreal Engine "Catgirl Halo" shooter. The weapon system is primed, and now I also have some basic parkour! I still need to turn off Controller Rotation Yaw and clamp the camera so it can't look 360° when doing parkour tho.

Are you using Paper ZD?

This looks cooler every day

Had some time tonight, so I did a bunch of under the hood work, including shields. All sorts of attributes now play a roll in attacks and damage amplitude, determining the hit reaction as well as warning flares.

Here I'm slowly decreasing Clover's mass to fun results.

Well shit. It explains why feeds update inconsistently if ever.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility, beloveds! You are seen and loved!

For impacted Epic Games folks in Texas (or exploring Texas), we have an "Unreal Engine Texas" Discord, and you can pick your Austin, Dallas, Houston, or San Antonio chapter.

If anyone also wants to make something like that, Cobra Code is the guy in that niche.

I made a really competent Zelda-like battle system entirely in 2d using PaperZd! And the entire thing took less than a day.

I keep hearing Unreal Engine is "poorly optimized"... Anyway, here's me vs ~400 demons ⚔️😅

Arms of God endless mode, 60 fps, UE5

I can't wait for Sandbox. Gaben and Garry always have our backs 😭

Wires with situational awareness.

Got laid off earlier this week, so I'm on the hunt for a new job. Most of my professional experience is as a game artist, but I'm flexible. I do character design, concept art, animation, etc.

If you wanna help, just share the post and spread the word, or DM me with any opportunities you know of.

Every PS1 game is like "the hardware sucked shit but the genius programmers tricked it into playing games" and every N64 game is like "you could run crysis on this thing but no one actually knew what they were doing"

I think the worst aspect of DLSS 5 is - despite developers having some level of "control" over how frames are "generated" - is the amount of cognitive dissonance for the same people who bitch and moan about games "looking like "Unreal Engine games" and hailing this AI slop as technical achievement.

Guardian boss fights just hit different. Take on the Shards of Ursul, Morda, and Yggri in Kristala's full release, COMING SOON. ✨

But for now, I can pick up weapons, swap between them, shoot, deal and take damage, and ragdoll on death for both player and enemy. And when the enemy dies, it drops a weapon pickup of the correct type!

I've literally already improved it from here 😅 Currently the enemy chooses a point around the player and strafes around, but it's not setting the player as it's target in the blackboard and idk why not yet. I love UE5! This is so fun!

Honestly, I highly recommend Pitchfork Academy on YouTube if you're just starting. His Third Person Shooter system was very helpful to me. For more intermediate and best-practices stuff, Taken Grace and Kingboars/ZeroTwoGamedev have been especially great. Kingboars does a lot of GASP/Mover 2.0.

Yeah, it's not only allowed but common. The only truly closed engine I know of is currently Unity.

I love random asdfmovie references

You can literally pull UE apart with enough knowhow. The most optimized version of UE is a custom fork on GitHub built from the source.

Very happy to share that my entry to Megajam 25, Crashowary won not one but TWO categories!

Crashowary took out both the Make Us Go WOW! (Photoreal) &
Procedural Magicians prizes.

Congrats to all who participated, was a very fun Jam!

Like, if they did some creative endeavors for once in their life, maybe they'd be too busy to bitch about how other people choose to create things. Meanwhile they create nothing and perpetually bitch about everything they consume, like the worthless Unreal-hating locusts they are.
