Go heavy perf drop (~10 fps) after updating project from UE5.5 to 5.7. turns out: it was not the game itself but the stat gpu and stat scenerendering which drain perf WAY more in 5.7 than in 5.5. #unrealengine

A YouTube creator built the perfect alternative for anyone switching from Photoshop to GIMP. This free and open-source patch turns GIMP into a Photoshop-like editor with a familiar tool layout, keyboard shortcuts, more canvas space, and fully local files

A colorful interface showcases PhotoGIMP, designed to mimic Photoshop with familiar tools and shortcuts for users transitioning from Adobe.

Why is Unreal 5.5/5.8 correctly falling back to the Lumen SWRT (Surface Cache) when I disable HWRT globally (top) or for Lumen in general (Middle) BUT TURNS BLACK when I specifically disable HWRT it ONLY for Lumen Reflections (bottom) ?! Does anyone know? #gamedev #unrealengine #unreal

Added some automated physics generation for cloth canopies and gave them some poofy feedback effects. Uses just one rigid body - no soft body or cloth simulation. #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

Credits for Brent Porter (3D art lead) and Catherine Menabde (2D art lead) are shown here. There's a lengthy description of what they did, with a pastiche of various Demonschool characters underneath, messing around with a computer.
