I'm making a #blender add-on that lets you sculpt directly onto low poly models via the manipulation of object space surface normals under the hood

If anybody remembers Brute Force on XBOX, I really loved their on-the-spot character switch through missions. It took a long while to refine the architecture for this to work, but we now have the ability to tell our characters in players' roster to take the lead. #ProjectVerocity #IndieDev #UE5

There are way more tricks that you can do with FlowGraph that can communicate with your subsystems in ways you want them to. Considering that the FlowGraph is also NetworkMode aware, you can use it to also organize your UI, music control etc. More on that in the future👀

If you build story scenes in Unreal and dread the camera work, try this shape: describe the shot, do not animate it. Happy to go deeper on the light rig or the preview tool if anyone wants it. #UnrealEngine #GameDev github.com/MothCocoon/F... Thank you @mothdoctor.bsky.social !

Why Flow Graph and not a custom tool: it is free, it is a graph designers already know, and a new node type is a small C++ class. The camera and lighting setup live in the node, so every future scene inherits them for nothing. Alternatively, this can be switched to shared sets.

Myk @nikout13.online · 08/09/2026

This flow is designed for one specific character with one specific context the NPC is narratively focused on. We can make as many types of flow dialogues as we like to leave room for more and save time for less.

Myk @nikout13.online · 08/09/2026

Branching stays readable. A choice is a node with four options. An outcome is a node. The ending is a node. A writer follows the whole conversation left to right without opening a spreadsheet.

100

Myk @nikout13.online · 08/09/2026

Designers see it before pressing Play. A preview actor takes two stand-in characters, a shot and a rig. Hit Refresh and the editor camera shows exactly the player's view, because it runs the same code as the game. Nudge, pick another angle, refresh.

100

Myk @nikout13.online · 08/09/2026

Lighting is a reusable asset: key, fill, rim. Key and fill ride with the camera, the rim sits behind the subject. On a reverse angle the rig mirrors itself, so a face stays lit the same across the cut. "Make him look menacing" is one asset, dropped on any line.

100

Myk @nikout13.online · 08/09/2026

As a Lighting Artist from the beginning of the career, it has become far more important for the light to be adaptable, and executable within the gameplay scripting sphere, without Sequencer-only binding process that can make the game feel less like a game.

100

Myk @nikout13.online · 08/09/2026

The camera is computed, not statically placed. A node says "over the listener's shoulder". At runtime the game finds both characters' heads and builds that shot where they stand. The same node works in a corridor, a hangar or a cave.

Myk @nikout13.online · 08/09/2026

Our dialogue scenes in Verocity are not animated. They are described. One node per line: who speaks, the text, the camera shot, the light rig. That is the whole authoring job. A short thread on why Flow Graph carries all of it. A thread into our scope 🧵

Stepped away from a lot of spaces this morning. Nothing to do with anyone here, I've been dealing with some personal stuff and needed the quiet. I'll be around when I've got more to give.

Myk @nikout13.online · 04/09/2026

Just been recovering from something that ended badly, and it's been slower and heavier than I expected. Distracting myself with work and #ProjectVerocity has been keeping me on track frankly. If I've gone quiet on someone lately, no hard feelings, I reassure you I will get back.

There is a way to make keyboard navigation (be or arrow or wasd nav) with CommonUI but it's a structure of a different kind to adapt to.

100

Myk @nikout13.online · 18/08/2026

Check out CommonUI, components such as BoundActionBar is what you are looking for, along with the entry widget class that gives you a button and you design it to show what IA's button it's bound to.

Myk @nikout13.online · 17/08/2026

Now, I gotta focus on a vertical slice showcase. There won't be tiny showcases as thats mostly content work, tons of playtests and general refinements to close the gap on open valves. I'd love to show more, but it deserves a much more meaningful delivery than a clip.

Myk @nikout13.online · 17/08/2026

Yes, crosshair was overdue. Not final design, just an exercise with materials.

Myk @nikout13.online · 17/08/2026

Improvements to dialogues and general typewriter feel. Since I am more than willing to include voice acting, there is some content where you just don't actually need it (like Yakuza with side quests), so keeping big guns for bigger things is the right way to say what I am planning.

I've done a stereo UI system. Toggleable CommonUI widgets can have an audio component added to them that govern whether widgets play in 2D or ticked with converting their geometry to world position + ZDistance.

I have a lot of good memories playing platformers like Croc, Crash Bandicoot and Spyro starting from the age of PS1. Knowing how much inspiration they've drawn from Nintendo with Zelda and Mario, I still never get to love them as much, out of my league.

The launch trailer for Sheepherds quadrupled the views of the announce trailer—I made a video on the changes i recommended when @ultimodisco.bsky.social hired me as a consultant. My main advice was show more gameplay and not worry about making the game look packed with features.

Sculpt is now complete, and retopo has also been done! A bit of work as I was mixing Quad Remesher with Retopoflow 4, but we are sitting at 50,400 tris. Managed to make hair cards straight out of blender hair curves, and spread them across the scalp. Coming to stores. Texturing later this week.

This creates a lot more issues in the long run. There is no trust in avatar creators code for that distribution method. As much as they want to defend their revenue, there are no other ways to track files unless you want to break GDPR and TOS clauses.
