This was mostly in jest. UE is a fine engine if you wanna create high fidelity titles, but unless you have an absolutely beefy machine and TBs of free space, forget about it! 😭😭 Would still pick it over Unity.
Day 12 of not having to open Unreal Engine. Colours seem brighter. I can taste foods again.

Just unearthed this putt-putt game I made in Flash back in 2010 when I was still in high school! I haven't seen this game in 15 years but I will formally apologise for the shade of green. I'd been dabbling in Flash for a couple years and I'm sure this is the first game I actually finished.

'Hollow Knight: Silksong' has a boss named Seth who is a tribute to a fan who passed away from cancer

The earliest known Easter egg in software in general is one placed in the "make" command for PDP-6/PDP-10 computers sometime in October 1967–October 1968, where if the user attempts to create a file named "love" by typing "make love", the program responds "not war?" before proceeding.

In the last decade I've released more than 160 packs of 2D sprites and 50+ packs of 3D models - they're all completely free to use by anyone for anything! Not thinking of stopping anytime soon, it's a lot of fun and the community support is fantastic! ✨

After ~5 months, I released a new build of my dice game yesterday and wrote about some of the changes (including a new name!) in this devlog post:

v0.6
Wow, it's been a minute since I wrote one of these. 219000 minutes to be exact (~5 months). Truth is, I have had something else on my plate for 3 of those months, but that's ogre now. I spent a week a...

“AI will help with pointless interactions like item descriptions and NPC barks” if it’s pointless it shouldn’t be in the game. If there’s nothing interesting about something, cut it

Watching GTMK's breakdown of Blue Prince and it only just clicked for me that Blue Prince = Blueprints. I haven't played the game but always wondered where the title fit in. 🤔

If social media is our generation's "smoking" (everyone does it but it's bad for our mental health) then AI will probably be our CFCs. At least we will be able to generate a photo of a planet with polar ice caps... 😅
Professor Gina Neff of Queen Mary University London tells the BBC that ChatGPT is "burning through energy", and the data centres used to power it consume more electricity in a year than 117 countries.
