Check out my new article where I reflect on starting my career as a tech artist, async leadership, and why we should strive to make ourselves obsolete!

I also crudely compare async leadership to writing code for GPUs.

Started working on my next #gamedev tutorial!

I am still a Tech Artist at heart so instead of just recording it, I've spent an inordinate amountwriting a tool to so that I have a datadriven way to iterate 😅.

In the end, I'll have the whole tutorial in a a JSON file

After 4 tries, I finallyI managed to publish my first piece of content on Fab 😀

I learned a lot, so hopefully this is the first step towards releasing even more things on there!

You can check it out here:

Second attempt at uploading my simple appartment furtniture pack to Fab. The problem was missing collision on a few of the items :p

Updated the lighting a little bit, its much warmer now, giving off a more cozy feel.

Lets see if it gets approved :D

I have a new found respect for people who publish content on marketplaces. I was going to "quickly clean up" meshes from an old game idea and make available on fab.

Its been 2 weeks and I'm still cleaning up 😅

Submitted the first version, waiting for approval

What are people using as Photoshop alternatives these days? I need to create some simple images and export them out in linear color space

Is gimp still used?
Could I do this is Blender?

I just figured out that I can do AB testing on #Youtube thumbnails. I'm going to be low-key upset if the one with my face does worse.

The video is called "How to make UI in Unreal Engine 5 - Learn the basics"

Which one you like better?

Messing around making videos with code. Its still rough but I'm happy with the progress 😅

Here I want to show people who are new to #gamedev how to create a framework for their game in #UnrealEngine

My goal is to learn how to show complex things quickly and then later dive deep with explinations

I'm learning how explain #gamedev concepts in more accessable ways. Both for my #YouTube tutorials and for my day-to-day job

The best thing about the animation is that its all made in code, so I can refactor until perfect 🤓

Can you guess the game (WIP)😅

I just posted an article walking through why it sometimes feels like finding the fun in game development is all about luck and not a skill just like any other

Do you relate to these points?

Do you wonder why so many game developers work and work but never manage to finish a game?

I've seen many talented people stuck in an endless loop of prototypes and tests😢

Here are some useful insights!
