Working on selection healthbars for my plugin, turns out Particles are cheaper than UI widgets...

Took a 100-word story out from a drawer where it's been gathering dustr and put it on my blog.

It's an adventure story if by adventure you mean being terrified of dark and tight spaces.

Would anyone here have expertise about releasing plugins on FAB or similar marketplaces? I've made a blueprint-friendly plugin using Mass in UE5. If anyone has advice about selling plugins, I would appreciate it.

It's alive!

Such a good feeling to see my #playdate game running on the actual console!

well that explains a lot.
SCOOP: For the last two years, Microsoft has pushed Xbox to hit profit margins of 30%, an ambitious target that's far higher than the industry average.

This chase for profit has led Xbox to raise prices, cut thousands of jobs, and rethink everything.

Which engine noise is better? My finger snap (1st) or my mic hit (2nd)

The locomotion system in Unreal with physics is so funny. Please disregard that this model uses world position and not local position (Arms shifting color when it moves). I swear I fixed it later (also made materials double-sided).

Stomach wiggles (yes I call it stomach even though there are more organs there)

I wonder if this makes sense as a mechanic for the Stack O Bot #UnrealJam. Also, it's supposed to be a grappling hook, not a bungee jump...

Didn't manage to create everything in my scope (wanted some RTS) for #KenneyJam, but at least there's something there. The base is good for further things afterwards anyway!

If anyone wants to try it, I'd suggest waiting until I fix the performance.

A lot of improvements, still some stuff left to go #KenneyJam
For example, I just realised I forgot to add shadows to them while uploading this video

Only 6.5 hours more to go, still a fair amount left, hopefully will make it, at least this looks funny.

Finally, the basics are set up for the #KenneyJam, although there are still some issues. Might still do more simulated parts, i.e., hands and leg ends, but animations don't play as nicely.

Which shader is better? It's supposed to feel like an energy ball. #gamedev

EA has to be the most prevalent in somehow failing and doing layoffs in studios with massive talent. Pandemic Studios will always be unforgettable, and Respawn has kept getting bad news even with the success of Apex Legends. I guess the only viable title is FIFA Ultimate EA Sports FC MTX. #respawn
