Tonight is the #alienisolation unofficial reunion. The ten year anniversary.

I've heard that these guys really feed on retweets and likes from people who enjoyed the game.

Sevastopol lives. Let 'em hear some love.

[Fortnite Developers @FNCreate]

What a ride! Shout out to @Magnopus for building this incredible mind-bending experience in UEFN 🤘

What happens when you let a bunch of Magnopus engineers loose on the Connected Spaces Platform for a Hackathon week

[Sam Birley @evilsmeevil]

Super proud! We've just open-sourced the Connected Spaces Platform. The part of our stack that allows for all kinds of spatial computing applications to communicate interoperably.

Unreal's Niagara isn't just for particles/FX, it can be used for general purpose computing. eg making a 'Relaxed Cone Step Map' https://t.co/mfHF2BpAbe.
If you like Parallax Occlusion Mapping, then you'll like this. Less steps and less artefacts. This is a single quad.

Shout out to Float Exposed for being the most useful site for exploring IEEE754 floats in binary, hex and mathematically. Details like "delta to next/prev representable value" are just perfect. https://t.co/NV0qRAP6PD
