A stream of fire, or a flamethrower, or something similar 🔊 I continue to experiment with MetaSound in Unreal Engine: Noise + Flanger gives an interesting effect. I slow down by Delay Pitch Shift and add echo through Diffuser. Or just through Biquad Filter

My wife bought clock with nature sounds, there are many light imitation modes so that the child wakes up better in the morning. But it didn't work, the child continues to sleep. So I use it as a light with FM radio when the electricity goes out, I connect it to a power bank

On this day, November 30, 1939, the USSR attacked Finland. An aggressor country with imperial ambitions will never stop as long as it exists. Everything that happens has already happened. Scenarios change a little, but attitudes towards human life do not

Saturday's Unreal Engine is when you need to get some rest, because evil bombed us all night and I barely slept, so I need to do something intellectual and calming

My first #gamedev project as a game designer was in 2014, I wrote the story in 2013 and tried to make something a year later, but it was frozen forever. This time I will show you a joker scientist (Fox Mulder) who works in isolation on signals in a remote part of the Moon base for a long time.

Do you want to see the code for this stuff? Yes, I'm in the Unreal Engine sect, but I need motivation to share this, easy peasy. I'm probably an outcast, a strange creature, and yes, I love everything here

I'm like a propagandist of a cult / religion ;) This is the cult of Unreal Engine, I'm in it. I'll show you how to create a ventilation sound with MetaSound, the rotation through a shader I showed in the previous post

I was playing for a few hours with MetaSound, looking for classic sounds of old PCs and accidentally heard this, incredible discovery, set a negative value to the Bandwidth in Biquad Filter and Unreal Engine beeps like old terminals 🔊 #UnrealEngine #gamedev #UE5 #indiedev

One of the ways to rotate an object in Unreal Engine - use a Rotating Movement Component or change values in the Blueprint by Timeline. Or do it through the material, transfer it to the GPU. But I don't know how to fix the visual bug #UnrealEngine #gamedev #UE5 #indiedev

While reading the book "Emergence in Games", I learned something that probably everyone knows. Counter-Strike was initially released as a mod for Half-Life that was designed by Minh Le and Jess Cliffe before the rights to the mod's intellectual property were acquired by Valve

I'm a programmer, but now I do sound design. Unreal Engine and visual programming of sound waves thanks to MetaSound is WOW, especially when it's generation, not a wav file. This is not the final version, this is just the beginning 🔊

I finally read this book "Emergence in Games". I stumbled a lot because my brain started to imagine the material I read. The information triggered me for ideas, creating parallel thought processes. I haven't felt this way in a long time, so many triggers #gamedev

For those who don't know, this is the air alert map of Ukraine. I very rarely post this, the last time was maybe a month ago, but we have this situation every day. There is now a threat of a missile strike and a bunch of drones flying around.

Today, my 11 year old son and I started learning Python. We decided that when there is no electricity, we should spend at least 1 hour a day reading the book Head First Python. I haven't laughed so much while studying in a long time, the book is super duper.

When there is no electricity, the Moon comes out. I bought this nightlight about 10+ years ago because back then I wanted to try to get into game development and create a game about the Moon. Now it's happening. This device was hidden in a closet for many years

I've been thinking about mystery entity that would add Emergence to gameplay. I told my 11-year-old son about it. He made something else and suggested it to me as an idea for my Sci-Fi game. These are nanorobots platforms that can have different geometries. Brilliant!

I got an idea in the form of a ?: is it possible to export a sound curve from an Surge XT and use it in Unreal Engine. This is called a WaveTable, MetaSound can work with it too. The Surge exports it to a wav file and MetaSound makes a curve out of it

My Saturday Unreal Engine, hello wind, aloha ocean waves and I don't know what else it sounds like, it's all very easy to do in MetaSound: Envelope + LFO + Noise + Biquad Filter

I'm working on a Sci-Fi game where the plot is related to space and interstellar objects and our solar system. But today, for the first time, I decided to read and watch details about the comet 3I/ATLAS's. Thank you NASA science.nasa.gov/solar-system...

Saturday, don't blink. It's raining outside, there's no electricity inside, I can't run Unreal Engine, so I keep reading the book: Emergence in Games. Because this book is from 2007, there are a lot of examples from Half-Life

Unreal Engine MetaSound. I want to show you two things here, how you can simply make a short sound from a knock to a drop of water, and StereoPanner node - sound movement between right and left output

From 00 to 99, timer in the material. My 11 year old son created this, I didn't add anything. Finally he does it on his new laptop (ASUS TUF Gaming F16, GeForce RTX 3050, Intel Core 5 210H), Unreal Engine works fine. #UnrealEngine #UE5 #gamedev #uetips #indiedev

Friday Unreal Engine. I tried "Stereo Delay" node for the first time in MetaSound, it gives echo. I also like the combination of Noise x "AD Envelope" => "Biquad Filter" #gamedev #UnrealEngine #UE5
