@MattGambell Useful tip to save you the time - check out the actual error code - LNK2001. LNK means the linker's failing, not the compiler, which usually means you're trying to use half of something, in this case one half of a function definition :)

[Tom Shinton @tomshinton]

@MattGambell oh yea for sure for sure, projects i've worked on typically have a project consisting of all uassets, and then another folder containing source for those on the team that need it

[Tom Shinton @tomshinton]

@MattGambell Yea i dont see why not :) open source and whatnot. To be honest knowing im not bloating my P4 with FBX nonsense has always felt like a blessing rather than a curse

[Tom Shinton @tomshinton]

@MattGambell I am an Unreal friend! You have to add it yourself im afraid - you can export back out of Unreal at a later date though, if you need the source back

[Flix Interactive @FlixInteractive]

If you or someone you know has been affected by recent layoffs or studio closures, we'd love to talk to you.

Flix have open roles available over multiple disciplines and we are excited to tell you more about the projects we're working on! Please share.

@KabutoKai_ upward trends man, upward trends

Yesterday 50% of BYG got laid off, myself included. I got to know many incredibly talented people there who were affected by this.

Please send them some love!

Now that after 4 years this journey has ended, I am actively seeking Game design opportunities to start a new one.

@GrogSwillinDill I took up running in the new year, and have recently learned that an average male 5k time is 29mins. 29 MINUTES. No chance, chief, not a chance in hell
