I've made 2 packs with 100 diffuse textures each, they're free to download and use wherever!
Pack 1: epicmcdude.itch.io/100-photo-te...
Pack 2: epicmcdude.itch.io/100-diffuse-...
These are game-ready seamless and horizontally tiled textures, as well as some decals. I used these on my own game.

nice extended version of a cheap uv-domain triplanar shader I demonstrated back in 2017!
it's very very cheap as it doesn't result in multiple samples per texture *and* it's reusable due to the nature of how the projection is achieved, unlike traditional triplanar.
pros and cons in reply below:

I have a joke about game development, but I'm still waiting on a jira so I can work on the punchline.

In addition to sculpting, Voxel Plugin 2 will have a fully non-destructive stamp-based workflow
In other words: you'll be able to use any mesh you want to shape the terrain, and if you need to move them 6 months later, you can!
Here I'm making a simple cave with 3 meshes

After about 30 mins of small optimizations I have it running fully playable on the deck! :)
~80 Billion Polys, 150 Ray-Traced Lights using MegaLights, Lumen & Substrate all running at 30fps on the SteamDeck.

If you have any Unreal Engine skills, reply if you want to be added. Repost if you can so other people can be aware too.

Since people have been asking, I've created a "Background Radiation" Games Industry Starter Pack! The goal is a pack that gives you a good horizontal overview of the games industry and its surrounding fields - and the conversations happening there.

There's a rad feature built into Unreal 5.4 and onwards that allows you to see any other actor with a matching property. Just activate the 'Property Color' Viewmode then Ctrl Click on a property and any actor with a matching property will be highlighted. Great for tracking down issues! #UETips

I built a portable Xbox.
This isn't a PC handheld, it isn't emulation, this is a real motherboard from a real Xbox. It has a 9” 480p display, pure digital video/audio, 100W USB C charge and play, and I'm currently adding WiFi 6 for wireless Xbox Live functionality.
Yes, really.

It’s great to work at a studio that practices pay transparency. It’s really helped bring in some very fantastic new hires who could probably command a bigger salary elsewhere. But when you can show someone “this is why we came up with this comp number” it’s very a very powerful way to build trust

Some of you have bought this which is very lovely especially in a jobless time. Also I just updated it to fix a small bug!
Buy this tool if you're worried there might be a single big expensive light somewhere in your map that you could delete to get a bunch of perf back!
