Finally got the early blockout into the hands of our wonderful and talented level designer!

Watching a blockout come to life is one of the most wonderfully entertaining things about making games.

More brilliance from our friend Ari!
An excellent article on the tools anyone interested in game optimization should know of 👇 #uetips
My last article of the year: How to Build an Optimization Toolbox.

An overview of the types of tools you should have ready when your game's framerate drops, with specific recommendations of programs I have used in the past.

Taking a look at some of the early concept art for The Deep. The Deep is an underground factory where NAMDA conducts there mind altering experiments

The air here is acrid and thick, requiring any inhabitants to use respiratory devices in order to survive the hostile environment

Man this one hits us hard. Rest in Peace Martyn. Your games touched so many lives and sparked creativity and imagination in an entire generation.

You will be missed.
I met up with Martyn again a few times this year to discuss a potential collaboration, and even though having a stroke had impacted his motor skills, it hadn't taken away his love of games or desire to help others.

Presenting.... The Holomap!

Why have an obtrusive sprite of a mini-map when you can have THIS? A full 3D rendering of the surrounding area, friendlies, threats, and important objects (MIA).

The next step in creating a truly immersive game.

We checked out the sneak peek of this in Seattle at Unreal Fest and it was very impressive. There are going to be some pretty wild games coming out in the next few years, that's for sure!

Venommiss doesn’t ask questions; she finds answers.
She’s at home in the shadows, a sniper whose every shot is calculated. She is the silent guardian who orchestrates the actions and movements of the RUN crew.

To Grimm, survival means sacrifice.
A relentless heavy gunner with scars that run deeper than he lets on. He’s brash, emotional, and unapologetically loyal to the R.U.N Crew.

Mercy: the calm in the chaos, the heart of the R.U.N Crew. Her Medi-Drone keeps the squad alive while her resolve keeps them together. When things fall apart, she’s the one picking up the pieces. #GameDev #IndieGame #Cyberpunk #SciFiGames #IndieDev #MadeWithUnreal #IndieRevolution

Taking a look at what we want destruction and player exploration to look like in #District32

Certain textures, such as brick, glass, etc, will indicate a destructible surface which may hide new paths, easter eggs, and powerful items!

#Deadspace vibes anyone? Update to the mesh we are using for our health system in #District32

The light colors will change from green to red and the individual sections will drain to show percentage of total health. Let us know what you think!

Excuse the rough recording, but we got the health bar to drain, change color, and increase the frequency of the pulse effect as the health drains.

Functionality? Check

Polish? Not really, lol.
