Growing up with games from the 80s & early 90s Im honestly baffled how one could even end up liking them! Watching GrandPOOBear play Lion King (SNES) & man, crazy frustrating just even watching it haha! My first video game was Ghosts'n Goblins for NES. I was 4. F me right? xD

Noticed this while watching footage of builder games,Its a bit sad to see tbh If you spend 2-3 years making a game, its sad to see it come out the other end unrecognizable because you made a decision to use marketplace assets. Better to downscope art into something more managable imo! #Gamedev

I dont know whats going on with Starsand Island, but the gamepass early access version is buggy. Playing on Ultra & they completely butchered the EA version to make it run well? They also just deleted collision for a bunch of assets. O_o I'm so confused #StarsandIsland

Chris Radsby || Game Dev @chrisradsby.bsky.social · 06/02/2026

Having played a bunch of the Nioh 3 Demo I can say that Yes I like the game & Yes its probably one of the worst optimized games out there. What you pay vs what you get in terms of graphics fidelity is not really worth it. Good game though, its just a sad state of things.

Alright, another Unreal Engine (5.6) Heads Up for people using Lumen + Non-Nanite Meshes + Packed Level Actors. It appears that surface caches doesn't properly get forwarded/generated for packed level actors BPs with HISMs inside. tinyurl.com/yus8cctx #UnrealEngine #UE5

Looking back at Borderlands 4, I'm not sure I quite like the specular response they have on the landscapes & materials. The game just kinda ends up looking wrong to me. Especially in comparison to BL3. BL3 had a nice matte look to it, made it look painterly. Maybe Im just picky 😆 #GameDev #Gaming

Had another one of these Win 11 BS things in Unreal. This time in the editor instead of a game. After the PC has been running a while (days + sleepmode), performance degrades, you get stutters even in Editor. A restart fixes it completely. #GameDev #UnrealEngine

One of my favorite things in the world is seeing people enjoying themselves quietly listening to music on the bus. Small movements, head bop etc. It's nice thing to see people enjoying life in small ways.

There is joy in creating something by yourself. Something worth remembering in these times especially for the ones that feel despair for the future. Just create anyways, for you, for joy. #craftmanship #gamedev #hobbies #creativity

The best weekend days are the ones where you can spend like 12-14h on your own personal project, whatever it may be. Just put on your favorite music albums and go for it all day.

Started playing Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden and my first reaction to the game after playing for like 20 mins or so, is damn, I really enjoy the voice-acting! #Banishers #Gaming

Been playing some open world games this year. Mostly mixed feelings, it feels like teams are scrambling to reach the expectations of the genre while games that have more focused experiences has excelled Favorite open worlds this year is probably: MH Wilds & Nightreign #GameDev

Been playing Star Wars Outlaws and I'm pretty impressed with it. Especially since I worked at Ubisoft Massive for 10 years and know the tech it's cool to see it move in this direction. The quality of everything compared to say Division 1 is incredible. #Gamedev #SWOutlaws

I'm 50/50 when it comes to stepped-anim in games. I feel like having a choppy character & fluid everything else is weird. If I made a game like this I'd force usage static cameras + hand-animating everything with steps + moving objects on a grid with steps XD..team would hate me

With the drama in regards to retracted awards I do feel like the IGDA needs to have a more fleshed out AI Policy. Any award show should do their due diligence before handing out awards, handing the award to another after the fact just sours the experience for everybody =/ #GameDev

Had a a good evening hanging out & drinking beer with the She Was Such A Good Horse team. They are making store.steampowered.com/app/2024600/... , extremely artistic and cool game, from some awesome people. Honestly can't wait to play it! #GameDev #IntoTheUnwell

Man do I miss more focus on immersive gameplay in more modern titles. Games are just becoming more & more static. I understand that its a huge production cost but its a bit sad to see large productions barely even doing the minimum when it comes to world interaction.

I was up at midnight to early morning watching the Game Awards with some really cool people involved in the swedish gamedev scene. Had a great time! I really enjoy when we come together like that, up all night, celebrating the successes of our peers, lets do it again! #Gamedev

You know that moment, when you play the game you are making & even though its rough its starting to come together, it finally feels like a game. Its such a wonderful feeling, just some more content, more variation & maybe something magical with happen in the future. #Gamedev

So I've been having lots of issues with stuttering in Oblivion Remastered. Turns out Resize Bar wasnt working even if toggled in BIOS. Flashed system bios and VGA BIOS for my MSI 3080. Framepacing is now smooth! #OblivionRemastered #PCGaming #PC

Let's give some appreciation for The Order 1886. It's 10 years old, hands down a lot more realistic & nicer looking than some modern titles. The care, effort, craftmanship put into the visuals is stunning even 10 years later. Thanks DF for the gifs ! Part 1

Considering how freakin well made #KingdomComeDeliverance2 is, maybe we should call these games Warhorse-likes instead of Bethesda-likes. I'm really loving the game, its so awesome. Spent all weekend playing from morning til evening. It was great & just what I needed!

Chris Radsby || Game Dev @chrisradsby.bsky.social · 30/01/2025

Played some #EternalStrands , 2-3h. Not sure what to say about it to be honest, for some reason it reminds me of Fable but without the charm & mystique. Like...a light action rpg with some weird decisions regarding inventory management. Will keep playing & see what happens!

Chris Radsby || Game Dev @chrisradsby.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

So I've been doing some tests using CustomDepth to isolate a post process material to only affect certain characters (cel-shading). But me using CustomDepth also messes up Occlusion Culling for said characters (they dont), anybody got any tips to fix that? #UnrealEngine #UE5

Man Stalker is a long game! Had a funny interaction with a door yesterday as well I was just so surprised how fast it was closing after you get out of its range. It basically slams itself shut and it surprised me XD #Stalker

Chris Radsby || Game Dev @chrisradsby.bsky.social · 27/11/2024

Really been enjoying Stalker, it's nice to be plating a pretty straight forward game, it's too bad it has some perf issues and missing some AI feature but still though, I'm enjoying it :)

020

Chris Radsby || Game Dev @chrisradsby.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

So I've been playing Stalker 2 saturday evening & all day sunday. It's definitely a stalker game which is awesome, the visuals are alright! though overall quite noisy, ie the art content itself. Some of the ground-clutter is just..ultra noise! Having fun though!

030

Chris Radsby || Game Dev @chrisradsby.bsky.social · 23/11/2024

Spent 63h in Dragon Age, basically 100% the game. Its a 7/10 game & I don't really agree that its "back to form" for Bioware. It's an OK experience with some frustrating moments (mainly level design & progression) Character art was great and overall world art :) Now onto Stalker! Woop!

040

Chris Radsby || Game Dev @chrisradsby.bsky.social · 18/11/2024

Watching the Half-Life 2 Documentary just really makes me realize just how much I miss the focus on physics interactions in games Right now its just all pretty rendering & very little interaction which is not really what games should be doing imo! Breaking crates isn't it xD

090

Chris Radsby || Game Dev @chrisradsby.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

I think it's weird that #DragonAgeVeilguard sometimes don't provide all the different personality/attitude options in dialogues. Forcing your character into behaving in ways you don't want. Ie you cant have a stoic or tough character always behaving that way. The game doesn't let you.

When I talk about visual inconsistency in Dragon Age I'm basically talking about this: If you look close at these images, nothing looks like it fits. Texel Density all over the place, noise-level all over the place, stylization, all over the place. Scanned wood create, next to hand-made table.

030

Chris Radsby || Game Dev @chrisradsby.bsky.social · 09/11/2024

Dragon Age Veilguard definitely has some visual consistency issues art direction wise (previous posts) since some of the stuff comes from scans and some of it is hand-made. It kinda makes for a mixed-bag visually Here is an example of Megascan usage. #DragonAgeVeilguard #GameArt

Chris Radsby || Game Dev @chrisradsby.bsky.social · 09/11/2024

This is a little bit funny too. Not sure why one would do that rather than just scale the mesh to a point or something. & also I'm sorry if I'm being overly negative about the game, its a good game its just not the quality I expected in many ways. #DragonAgeVeilguard

030

Chris Radsby || Game Dev @chrisradsby.bsky.social · 09/11/2024

#DragonAgeVeilguard has some uneven art direction in some areas & I'm currently on the main path. The noise levels are crazy on some of these assets. Like this normal-noise placed on all the terrain & some of these rocks, contrasted against the cleaner marble. There must be a nicer middle-ground.
