The morphs in Keeper use distance fields as an (implicit) surface representation, which makes it possible to control the distance at which the surface should lie. In other words, it’s easy to deflate or inflate objects, and meshes become easily ‘moldable’.

Made it to Ultimate Vault Hunter level 5 in #Borderlands4, the first time I've ever reached max endgame in a Borderlands title. Maybe now I'll get back to the other games on my backlog.

Fun with spooky lighting for #screenshotsaturday. Fun fact: I made a component that causes any actor -- like this lighting rig -- to follow the viewport camera. No need to fiddle with un/possessing or piloting an actor. :) #unrealengine #procgen #usability #dungeoncrawler

This is a pretty big hobby milestone for me-- a real corridor & chamber solution that works with PCG partitions. Now I can experiment with more interesting generators for the corridors and chambers themselves, and interior/exterior features.

Rolled credits on #Borderlands4 last night. Gearbox built a super impressive, layered open world and filled it with lots of fun things to see and do. It’s a rock solid platform on which they can build DLC and maybe even new features.

Despite easily being the most British fighting vehicle ever developed, the mock-Tudor AT-AT programme was sadly cancelled due to budgetary concerns

Did I mention the 'behemoth' free expansion for Bulwark coming later this month, will also feature the ability for your regular surveyor to be upgraded to a higher tier?

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?
It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

My brother offered up an alternative I like better: "Give yourself something to edit."
the thing about "just make it exist, make it good later" is that unfortunately three key challenges in game development are 1. deciding what should exist 2. deciding when to make things good 3. deciding what 'good' means
