God there’s some recent industry discourse I would LOVE to comment on but it’s one of those things that would immediately be picked up and put into an article lmao

It was 10 degrees cooler yesterday than the last two days of 36c and somehow the house had stored all that warmth, so coming back after drinks in the evening we were just blasted by the most foul heat opening the door 😩

as predicted! There will be literally no point in anyone installing UE6 I would say "unless they roll back the AI and Verse shit", but that's the whole thing. We're only 8 versions into UE5, UE4 got to 27. UE6 is illegitimate, it's not anything *but* a product of ai psychosis

all of the UE6 stuff is really exciting news if your idea of a videogame is turning it into shitty Roblox-core slurry for Fortnite otherwise it's a pretty catastrophic misreading of the room, after indies successfully jumping ship from unity with the promise you actually care about developers

UE6 deprecating Blueprints really is a fucking dumb move. It’s been a core skill for designers using the engine for the last 10+ years. No one is currently using Verse for full production and training everyone up is going to be time consuming and costly. Just really stupid

Scythe continues to be one of the best plugins you can get for Unreal as a designer!

I’ve been dying to get a Steam Deck, but I’m glad I held out for this thing because the ergonomic grips make it sooo comfy. Also I’ll be installing Bazzite on it, so best of both worlds 😊

Scythe just keeps getting better! Texture/UV locking whilst transforming meshes, face nudging, rotating and scaling edges while extruding! youtu.be/60oCCLF9MBo?... #gamedev #indiedev #UE5 #unrealengine

@kronok.bsky.social has managed to create with Scythe so far, easily the best UE5 level design tool around. It’s so good I have purchased a bunch of 1 month’s Patreon access to Scythe for other Designers to try! Please get in touch if you’d like to try it out! #UE5 #gamedev #indiedev

Scythe is still heavily in development, but you can get the latest build on my Patreon as I develop it: scytheeditor.com (It'll be a paid plugin on Fab on release) Special thanks to @rms80.bsky.social for guiding me in the right direction when trying to figure this new update out. (6/6)

Clipping Tool! If you've ever used a classic level editor, you've used something like this. Cuts through stuff (multiple meshes or just the selected face(s) of a mesh). Once again, dynamic mesh operators are the real winner here. Super fun to play with. (3/6)

Mirror Tool! I created a new "drag out a line" mechanic that acts as the mirror plane. You can manipulate the points or drag the whole mirror around. What I love about the mirror dynamic mesh operator in UE is you can have merge the meshes together along the mirror line. (2/6)

Just wanted to say to the maybe 5 or 10 people that follow me for my stealth action project. I’ve not got bored of it or anything. I’ve just had too many life things happening to dedicate any time to it. (no personal bad news to worry about lol) Sorry for the lack of updates tho!
