Editor toolbar | Unreal Snacks

🍪 New bite available on Unreal Snacks - Editor toolbar! I'm in the process of building a custom editor tool and found out how to add custom toolbar actions to my editor. I thought to myself; "Someone else could probably use this". #gamedev #indiegamedev #unrealengine #unrealengine5 #ue5

How to create a custom editor toolbar in Unreal Engine.

That we can definitely agree on. It's a shame. At least Niels A. Wetterberg created an amazing post on LinkedIn that openly explained this. Let's hope this is the beginning of a new era, where local media opens their eyes and actually recognize the Danish productions.

001

That is true. The fact that a 007 game is made in Denmark is very impressive. Still baffles me that they get no recognition from local media.

Welcome to IO Interactive - 007 First Light TItle Song feat. Lana Del Rey Out Now!

From BBC, Rolling Stone and Forbes, to Romanian TV and Indian news the news was covered, but any Danish media? Nope. Silence. This is a massive achievement for the game industry scene in Denmark, and its own country doesn't care. Well done... Big congrats to IO Interactive though 👍

Debat: Kulturdækningen ignorerer vilde danske spilsucceser – og ender med at udstille sig selv

I just read Kulturmonitor's article on the lack of Danish media coverage of "007 First Light". It's frightening how the country in which the game was develop, basically has no media coverage whatsoever. Somethings deeply wrong with that. They landed Lana Del Rey for crying out loud.

Mens New York Times og Rolling Stone anerkender danske spilsucceser, er de danske medier mest bare tavse. Det viser, at kulturdækningen har brug for et generationsskifte, skriver Louise Willingsøe.

I believe I found the next valuable bite for unreal-snacks.com: Creating a toolbar in your custom editor. It’s actually quite simple but extremely helpful.

And night time is darker (juuuuust a tiny bit)...

Detilium @detilium.bsky.social · 10/05/2025

Oh and here's the starting area of the prototype from within #unrealengine (free assets for now). The "feel" of the day time is almost there.

Detilium @detilium.bsky.social · 10/05/2025

I decided to add some basic ambient sound to my tiny prototype section of the larger open-world level in my #unrealengine project. I had no idea this would end up with a ton of beautifully red sphere wireframes 😅 This is probably not the most performant solution but who cares - it's a prototype 😇

Well, you’ve got yourself a DM!

000

Well… everything. Creatures, first person arms, various props, foliage… you name it 😂

100

It’ll be extremely useful once I get to the point where I need to roughly estimate the production phase.

000

I’ve begun actually registering how much time I spent on features in my prototype. Not for any particular reason but to see how long it’ll take me to make a mechanic. It’s quite interesting. Apparently it only took me 2,5 hrs. to implement a resting feature which I expected would take longer.

100

Already made a reminder for myself so I won’t get startled once it begins 😅

Because I want other people to have many great gaming memories as I have from my childhood.

Well, "solo" until I find a 3D teammate somehow 😅

Detilium @detilium.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

Having accepted the fact that I cannot create as high fidelity 3D models as my solo #indiedev #unrealengine game requires, I've begun working on designing my "enemies" within the game - not designing as in visual representation, but designing as in #gamedesign. And oh boy, are you in for a treat...

I can appreciate some fun on a Friday night 🙌

Trying to create some first person arms for my game... I need to find a 3D partner in crime...

Detilium @detilium.bsky.social · 25/03/2025

Being a software engineer, I always find it interesting to delve into the narration of the game and explore my possibilities to tie it all together. Thera nothing quite like a compelling story to drive the actions of the player.

Detilium @detilium.bsky.social · 25/03/2025

For a long while, I’ve been focusing on the technical implementation for my game. I’ve decided to take a step back and look at the backstory. That’s a quite interesting process, and nothing should be added to the game without meaning of some sort. #indiedev #unrealengine #ue5

Detilium @detilium.bsky.social · 21/03/2025

That sounds delicious 🤤

Detilium @detilium.bsky.social · 20/03/2025

I have the sketch for my landscape, I just can’t get the shape into Gaea as I want with the draw 😂 And my island has extremely sharp edges near the shores… I need to experiment with the different nodes 😊

Detilium @detilium.bsky.social · 20/03/2025

My game is set on an island and for now I’ve just used the default open world map from #ue5. Starting up the process of building the island. I guess I’ll have to look at tools like Gaea 😅

As I've been struggling to find any good resources to learn saving/loading in #unrealengine, I've decided to make my own resource available for others. I've made part 1 out of 2 available on Medium, and hopefully this can help someone else. #indiedev #gamedev medium.com/@chrhaase_71...

Well, a combination of serialization and custom structs... Not everything is suitable for serialization... I've learned 😅

Detilium @detilium.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

I think I may have cracked the code in regard to saving/loading actors, uobject, player character, controller, inventory, game state, game mode... etc. in my #unrealengine game, utilizing FObjectAndNameAsStringProxyArchive. This is quite exiting 🥳 #indiedev #gamdev

That is so disturbing to look at 😳

Detilium @detilium.bsky.social · 02/03/2025

Found a few resources that mentions that this is a great opportunity to utilize a GameInstance subsystem. Haven’t made a subsystem before so might as well start there and learn how subsystems are created and how they work.

000

Detilium @detilium.bsky.social · 02/03/2025

Anyone who made a save/load system in #unrealengine? Would be optimal to make it as a game instance subsystem? Something tells me it would make sense 🤔

Detilium @detilium.bsky.social · 01/03/2025

It feels great to finish a major gameplay mechanic and actually merge it into the main branch 😍 Finished my 3D physical inventory UI in my #unrealengine open-world survival horror #indiegame. Next task: save/load game mechanic 💾 #indiegamedev #gamedev

Detilium @detilium.bsky.social · 01/03/2025

Okay, its time to dig back down into my game. I’ve almost managed to get a complete 3D physical inventory system working in #unralengine, and only have some minor details left. I guess my next task would be a save/load game system.
