Sorry the next episode of the interaction system series is taking a while - I actually ended up getting pretty sick, and needed to get surgery. Working on the next episode now.

#IndieDev, #GameDev, #UnrealEngine - I finally released the third episode for my interaction system in #UE5!
This one focuses on handling when there are multiple in range interactables at same time, & uses Dot Product calculations to allow the player to pick one.

#GameDev, #IndieDev, #UnrealEngine - I'm still working on the Interaction system series, part 3 is taking extra time. This is because the episode is close to an hour long. I should get it out the door tomorrow at some point, after that, episodes will be shorter as most of the hard will be completed!

Because of the rise in GPU prices, which won't come down any time soon, #GameDev studios will HAVE to go back to optimizing correctly. You can't sell games if #gamers can't run them.
Rises aren't due to gamer demand, but hardware companies abandoning us for AI.
We also need an Nvidia alternative.

Today, let's get #GameDev, #IndieDev, #IndieGameDev & #Gaming in the same room as each other to discuss their least favorite mechanic in video games!
I'll go first, "Hunger" systems, in non-food / non-vampire games. I'm here to have fun, not look after a human virtual pet!
What's yours? Why?

I promise my next video on Unreal Engine blueprints is coming either today or tomorrow. The pixel art doesn't make itself, and this one has a lot of new elements that I can re-use from previous videos! Editing takes longer than the making of the content!

UX in #GameDesign is often extremely over-looked. However, some studios really do it well. In particular, #NaughtyDog makes use of the color yellow so well in #TheLastOfUs & #Uncharted, that #Gamers instantly know what to do & focus is on the challenge.
#GameDev do you think is also great at UX?

On this day in 1995... Sega released Ristar. Objectively, it's a decent game, but as a child, I despised it. Probably because Sega actually wanted to replace my beloved Sonic the Hedgehog with him! What’s your take on Ristar? #GamingHistory #RetroGaming #Gaming

Question for #GameDev, #GameDesign, #GamingCommunity & #indiegame:
For my 'Blueprint Bites' series on blueprint nodes, should I launch an open source project with working examples on separate levels?
