Going to GDC next week, if anyone wants to meet for whatever reason, hit me up! I am mostly interested in Unreal, PCG, Optimization, maybe some Graphics Programming. Also generally I just like making games, I love to hear any development stories.

long shot but, if @teamcherry.bsky.social ever needed a freelance tech artist I would absolutely love to work on almost anything shader/rendering/art related in their games

Hey! New article! This one's about the history of first person shooters, what makes 'em work, and why I like the shooters I like. It's also me lamenting how they've died, and talking a bit about why I want to go ahead and make one. docseuss.medium.com/first-person...

first person shooters are extremely fun, but the industry rarely makes the ones i like anymore

There’s something about that anticipation as your dropship passes over open ocean and the fighting on the beach comes into view…

Unreal 5 CVar tip: Slate.GameLayer.PlayerCanvasVisible Slate.GameLayer.ViewportSlotVisible Slate.GameLayer.DebugCanvasVisible Slate.GameLayer.AllCanvasesVisible These let you easily hide all/some of the UI, for a photomode, getting trailer shots, or whatever else you want!

Optimizing your game is an environmentally conscious activity and can save a ton of greenhouse gases. Also add a frame limiter, and stop rendering your 3D world behind full screen UI. SetEnableWorldRendering(bool) in Unreal.

In Unreal you can make specific nodes Development only with hotkeys. Go into your editor preferences and search for Nodes. You'll see entries for Enable Nodes (Always) and Enable Nodes (Development). I've set them to ctrl alt A and ctrl alt D. Enjoy! ✨ #Unreal #Blueprint

Tiny little shader thing: if you want to add components of a vector together, you can just dot product it with a vector of all 1's. Not always faster or slower, but especially in shader/material graphs I feel it looks better.

Absolutely massive collection of #unrealengine links by the #ue5study group, for everything from BP, Animation, Materials, UMG & C++, to publishing plugins on the Marketplace. It's in Japanese but there's an "EN" button at the top, if your browser doesn't auto-translate it. ue5study.com

I see a ton of forums with "optimized settings" for Unreal games, and one is the r.fastvram.* settings being set to 1. This will not help. It's a console variable meant for Xbox One originally. With its tiny (fast) ESRAM of 32MB. You can assign a texture to go in there if the GPU needs it a lot.

There is no "Unreal Engine" starter pack to follow. So im creating one here: go.bsky.app/S3U5wKj If you have any Unreal Engine skills, reply if you want to be added. Repost if you can so other people can be aware too. #UE5 #UnrealEngine5 #UnrealEngine #Gamedev #Indiedev

Big bunch of hopefully helpful info I wrote down for Unreal Devs that have gotten started but aren't sure yet what settings and workflows are optimal: www.torkar.studio/blog/unreal-...

Unreal Quickstart Guide

In this guide I try to explain many things. It's expected you have some general sense of how Unreal and it's interface works. The focus lies on doing things optimally, in the most efficient sense, hop...

Reposting info from my Twitter: Did you know you can add a custom view mode to the buffer visualizations in #UnrealEngine ? In the project's DefaultEngine.ini you can add a few lines to add any Post Process material you've made. I used this for easily checking Ray Tracing cost. (1/3)
