I am making a Procedural Synthwave Racing game in UE5.. Not much more to say about that🙂

Today’s #Unreal session: making a door out of 4 boxes, 1 cylinder and a timeline (and an input action, action mapping, boolean, …)

The music of Beep’s Escape (@MartiansGame ) is running in loop while we practice 🔥🤖👍🏻

Today's #UnrealEngine session was about #PoppyPlaytime!
With the player possessing Huggy Wuggy, it's time to hunt the employees!
Disclaimer: no grabpacks were broken during the session!

@CollaborationG7 We use @gameresources - it’s worth subscribing to their newsletter as there are frequent discounts on large asset packs. Lots of useful sounds there too, inexpensive and rich 👍🏻

Learning @UnrealEngine at 6… Level design is his favorite part so far… happy new year @TimSweeneyEpic & his team 🫶🏻🥳

Been fan of Unreal tech since the early days of Unreal and making levels ad a teen in 1999… jeez I’m geforce 256 old.

Shoutout to @GameDevMicah for the tuts!

Dadda, can we add a Vegetablia bonus before my shower?
- yes, only if I take an ugly shortcut in the code
- why do you say that?
- because ECS. Because bitwise collision mask.
- errr?
- ok, there you go.

Next step: state machine & character animations.

[Jolan | 8yo Unreal game designer ✨ @jolanific]

Well, what a time to be alive indeed @kometbomb @STuFFk 🕹️
This side project has been restarted. From scratch, only issue now is the IP 😇
What about a 4 player rick?
Wife & kid are testing the first steps towards a Rick Arena…

As requested, a "tech preview" of the "#Rick skinning" of my @photonstorm based platformer engine. Man, those 1990 guys at @CoreDesign_com were #godlike #programmers. Such sense of details & fine grained nuancing every possible behavior. #IndieGameDev #pixelart

[Dercetech | Systems Across Domains @dercetech]

Hi @simorph, are you that Godlike Programmer I mentionned last year? I used Rick2 sprites to develop my engine and based my specs on the original Atari St version you made. Just found you on twitter and thought I’d send my respects! That title gave rise to my gamedev passion!

[Dercetech | Systems Across Domains @dercetech]

#retrogaming & #pixelart as a great way to keep a 3 yo #kid happy during the #COVID19 #confinement. Today is a #diorama made of cardboard after showing him #RickDangerous2 on a real #Atari ST 1040 🥰 Born after the #Millennials, this one will know what a #floppy is...

[Dercetech | Systems Across Domains @dercetech]

Finalising the demo of #BlockysQuest this week! @capacitor makes ios/android build pipeline so easy. @ionic appflow live updates rock. @phaser_ runs literally everywhere - now even on 256MB @KaiOStech feature phones. @maxlynch how about adding KaiOs to npx cap targets?

[Jolan | 8yo Unreal game designer ✨ @jolanific]

@johnjoemcbob @jemReactor Thanks!

[Jolan | 8yo Unreal game designer ✨ @jolanific]

@jemReactor can we make this?

@echoLogin @TheIndigoGaming @conormcl2023 Hmmm… last picture: making a DIY duck fishing game with drain pipes, a 12V pump from aliexpress and some ducks.

@pikuma In mathematics, and in particular vector algebra, “direction” is used to describe the orientation of a vector in space. It does not consider “sense,” which refers to the particular direction along a line or plane in which a vector is pointing.
