Props to the UI artist(s) on #Runescape: #Dragonwilds. It's so pleasing to watch and interact with! Rarely are menus so beautiful.
And the game's great too, ofc 🎉The building UX is great, especially the idea of a building spell to get in flying camera mode :)

Because you shouldn't have to think about "coin" or "Bernoulli gate" to find a metasound node that triggers with a chance...
Renamed the Trigger Filter node to be Trigger Chance and rephrased tooltips to make it clearer. Coming in UE5.7!

#MusicBee makes it so simple to play "all my music library in shuffle, but without any OST music". This is peak UX - right click Music, expand Filters, Manage... create a "Non-OST" filter based on the Genre metadata, poof. All in under 3min, and no loading. Damn, it's so good when tech just works!!!

My cat is meowing like crazy when I sing "Une vie à t'aimer" from Clair-Obscur while working. She even bites my face if I do as if she wasn't there.
Is my cat the only cat that does that? Or is it because I sing so bad? xD

A lot of people come into the games industry and pretty soon develop a cynical attitude that the industry is largely run by business guys who don't know a thing about video games. It's only after a few years and some seniority that you realize that those guys don't know shit about business either.

Can somebody tell me why tf AI is so revolutionary for tech and already changes coders lives, while we can still not have Google AI predict the weather for the current day without enormous errors? I can look at the sky and have a better preditciton.

When hunting hitches in your games, you'll need the tools of the trade. And any hitch-hunter worth their salt carries with them a Lantern of Insights at all times.

Today's a melancholy anniversary- 1 year ago today, the devs on Project Dragon (aka Everhaven) were let go and the project canned. Going to celebrate by waking this thread back up and posting more from the concept art archives, click thru to catch up 💜
Just before things started to nosedive on twitter, I posted a thread that walked through the massive body of work I did over the last three years (on an inspiring team) on the cancelled Project Dragon aka Everhaven.
For posterity I reckon I'll repost that thread, piece by piece, over here ✨
