Multiplayer debugging lesson of the week: the round state was correct, replication was healthy, and nobody could move.
The problem wasn't the network code.
The GameMode was spawning the wrong Pawn/Controller pair, so the expected input setup never existed.
Sometimes the best networking debug step is checking what actually spawned.
A production annoyance turned into my first LostMinions Unreal tool headed for Fab.
LostMinionsAssetLocks adds an editor-facing Git LFS checkout workflow for binary Unreal assets, including lock ownership, status, team visibility and safeguards against conflicting edits.
Nice milestone to finally cross.
August at Lost Minions was less about one big release and more about the machinery around the projects.
Side labs. Better tooling. Portability and migration work. Cleaner boundaries between things that should share infrastructure without becoming the same project.
