Been working on this for the last couple of months!

[NEXUS: A World Beyond @nexus_thegame]

Presenting the cable / logic system for NEXUS. Fully simulated, movable cables! #gamedev #indiedev #madewithunreal #UE4 @UnrealEngine @UnrealAlexander @iveytron

Here's what I've been up to for the past year with my dear colleagues at @Croteam 💕

[The Talos Principle 3 | Coming Soon to PC and PS5 @TalosPrinciple]

Video games are not just products. They are the works that we will leave behind for future generations.

This is why we're announcing The Talos Principle: Reawakened. It's our chance to refresh and preserve a wonderful game that means so much to us.

Early 2025 | PC, PS5, XSX/S.

@_benui I've submitted a PR just now! https://t.co/Jv5G6EREIv

Coming out of my programming cave to let you know that there's a undocumented UMETA specifier called "RowType" that filters the editor drop-down of a FDataTableRowHandle to show tables of a specific type only:

@Michell01539140 Danke für die Info! Hoffentlich kriege ich dann über den Magenta Presale morgen welche.

[Johnny Verbeek @iUltimateLP]

Kennt jemand den Zwischenstand bei #Coldplay #düsseldorf? Sind noch Karten für die ersten beiden Shows da?

[Johnny Verbeek @iUltimateLP]

@Medusa25 Danke für die Info!

[Johnny Verbeek @iUltimateLP]

Ticketmaster versteckt übrigens absichtlich die verbleibende Zeit. Das Warten macht erfinderisch, vielleicht schreibe ich einen Bot, der mich wach klingelt, wenn es soweit ist 😂

[Johnny Verbeek @iUltimateLP]

Leute, bleibt stark! Mit einer empirischen Rate von 104,7 Wartelistenplätzen pro Minute brauche ich nur noch ca. 20,8 Stunden, dann bin ich dran! #Coldplay #Ticketmaster #Duesseldorf

[Johnny Verbeek @iUltimateLP]

@fandomlovee8 125k hier 🥲. Es lohnt sich dennoch wahrscheinlich drin zu bleiben, ich wette der Presale für den neu angekündigten Termin landet eh in der selben Queue...

[Johnny Verbeek @iUltimateLP]

@_benui Great, congrats!

[Johnny Verbeek @iUltimateLP]

@gugananadev Awesome, I've been looking for something like that! Bookmarked.

[Johnny Verbeek @iUltimateLP]

I can then just take the recorded .utrace files into Unreal Insights and compare performance directly, knowing that *exactly* the same player input has been given!

[Johnny Verbeek @iUltimateLP]

Cool fun thing I've written for #UnrealEngine! I needed to compare the performance of my cable physics in UE4 vs UE5, so I wrote a shared plugin that can record my whole user input into a file and play it back via command line.

[Johnny Verbeek @iUltimateLP]

I've combined that with a series of batch scripts that would go over a set of .inputrec files I recorded, open the game with profiling enabled, play back the input recording, close the game, repeat.

[Johnny Verbeek @iUltimateLP]

@amu_mhr I see, one problem would be though that I'd need a RT for every "paintable" object in the scene, which could be quite a lot. And all of them need to be dynamic material instances too.

[Johnny Verbeek @iUltimateLP]

@amu_mhr Great, thank you! I'll try that soon :) What were your performance findings? Is it very expensive to use per-pixel instead of per-vertex?

[Johnny Verbeek @iUltimateLP]

@HoussineMehnik Ah, interesting - thought you could only use the geometry scripting stuff in editor. How's the performance?
