Fly through of part of a Keeper level directly in the Unreal Engine editor. Part way through I turn on all of the game objects the player doesn't see -- it takes a lot to make games work.

The wait is almost over.

This illustrates the full process of capturing the "Essence" of a mesh to be used in a morph. The distance field is retrieved and then the mesh is projected onto the cube-shaped "screen" in order to pack its surface properties into two cubemaps.

I'm so lucky to have been a part of this team, just an incredibly talented, passionate, and hard-working group of people. I'm excited for everyone to see what we've been up to :) Wild that the game is out and available for people to play!

Incredibly proud of this team ❤️ Super exciting that they'll be showing the game at the Tokyo Game Show!

Both the best and worst part of my seat during P2, always smelled like burgers...

I really hope other people feel the same way haha

The Freespace games are so good, I'm really glad they open sourced them.

Open to all skill levels, it's a very chill time. 🤙

My dad runs a landscaping business, and he bought a few F-150 Lightnings last year. They work reasonably well towing landscape trailers around the county, though obviously those aren’t super heavy. His biggest issue so far is with the software (trucks randomly won’t charge, etc.)

Fuming? I thought I smelled something weird in the office...

Behind the Code: On The Move! Raz is an acrobat. He runs, jumps, climbs, rolls, swings, and slides through the world.

Last year I wrote about the movement systems for Raz that we built on top of Unreal’s CharacterMovementComponent. This covers the architecture of our Move Mode system, how a few of our custom modes work, and a bit about dealing with inconsistent gravity.
