Rendering 1,000,000+ (one million!) sprites with no frame drops. (Top left is # of sprites, top right is FPS) Massive thanks to this video for the implementation: youtu.be/0R7llmGGTXA Now to add collision! #unreal #unrealengine #ue5 #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #indie

So... what do we think? Better optimization now? Niagara is crazy. #ue5 #unreal #unrealengine #indiedev #gamedev #indie #indiegame

Tip: To any gamedevs who want to make a game with lots of projectiles (like a bullet-hell) in Unreal Engine, don’t do what I did and try to figure it out yourself. Use the Niagara system to manage your bullets. Your framerate will thank me. #unreal #indiedev #gamedev #ue5

Why I didn’t think to put my YouTube Devlog (y’know… the MAIN thing I’m updating) in my bio is beyond me. Well, better late than never I guess! #indiedev #gamedev
