Bangkok covers games and animation too but runs a single track and leans further into art and animation. Technical art, environments, tech animation, characters and real-time animation workflows are all covered complete with a finale by M2 Animation breaking down their internal Unreal pipeline!

KL runs a programming track and an art track, aimed at teams new to Unreal or deep in their first projects. Outside of tips, tricks and workflow callouts sessions break down common game dev problems and show which parts of Unreal are built to solve them, holistically rather than feature by feature.

Epic is hosting two Unreal Engine Dev Days in Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok covering games and animation, complete with a mixer at the end They're aimed at devs and artists new to Unreal. I'm presenting at both, but we're flying in other international speakers too! www.unrealengine.com/events/south...

If you open it in 5.8 you can probably use nanite foliage, PCG micro scattering and Niagara fluid river sims to make an Influx Redux Redux.

Did you watch it straight after Casino Royale? I feel like the huge production gap between the films really took away from this one.

This is a really great breakdown of a technical art problem that helps look at it mathematically piece by piece. If you're new to TA this is the kind talk you should definitely give a watch!

Chris Murphy @highlyspammable.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

Not something I mess around with, so I can't really point you in a direction there, I've just seen some of the agentic stuff floating around and one of the things with an MCP in the engine is that there's a pathway for external agents to talk to UE graphs.

Chris Murphy @highlyspammable.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

BPs can be read/written from AI stuff already, plus there's quite a few visual languages that are sticking around so hopefully you can see it's not that. They fundamentally solve problems differently, it's not just a syntax change.

Chris Murphy @highlyspammable.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

Unreal is source code accessible so you can make modifications to your version and recompile it to address anything issues like those. On top of that, it's worth noting that the 4.27+ version, which didn't require accepting any future EULA adjustments, still had SDK updates until very recently.

100

Chris Murphy @highlyspammable.bsky.social · 21/06/2026

I'm not a lawyer but the EULA spells out that Epic can't change the terms of an agreement like that in section 8 without devs agreeing to it. This was part of why the Unity runtime cost change was so jarring; it wasn't a thing that could happen to UE devs.

Having explored a few options, I've got to say @yarnspinner.dev 's Unreal PlugIn has been my favourite Narrative Design system so far. Really easy to integrate into workflows with everything compartmentalisted into components and some nice detailed information flowing in and out. #gameDev

her closing point here is why i think normal media should stop engaging in the culture wars at all. just don't cover these chuds or their views. it's not helping anything, it's not changing anyone's mind, it's simply dragging the mud into spaces and lives it doesn't need to touch.

What kind of layouts are you dealing with? Scroll left/right situations or just front to back in a single shot?

110

Chris Murphy @highlyspammable.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

Sorry! Didn't mean to leave this hanging. I haven't seen too much that is 2d specific but, ultimately, it's a pretty similar problem to 3d. What kind of problem are you looking to solve? The pixel generation or is it more the spatial layout of preexisting assets and their placement?

So much better! Really cleans up the final act.

Side note: if everyone implementing grenades could look at the FPS camera matrix blending in Unreal to gently lerp between spaces as it leaves your hand it'd be great.

Also, if you're in town and want to chat about your Unreal projects or are looking to swap over from another engine for a project and want to sound out if that's a good idea for it or not hit me up and we can have a chat.

Oh, cool! That's great to hear it was helpful. And, yeah, I'm always happy to have a bit of a chat with local Unreal devs. The number of features we have checkboxes for that solve minor polish issues is pretty high and missing those for submission only to find out later is.. uhh.. painful.

One really interesting thing that seems to be pretty consistent is that the Steam Deck has actually provided a definitive min spec for PC game developers. Historically this was a bit more vibes based for a lot of folks and it's great to see something so standardised.
