After upgrading to 5.6 in UE5, meshes created in engine no longer have collision turned on by default (Complex). Anyone know if there is a checkbox or something I need to hit to get it to turn collision on on creation?
Not a big issue, just odd it added an extra step.

Been trying to add some more interesting combo attacks to CHUNK, man is it hard to make something that doesn't completely suck.
Anyone have any tips for coming up with cool attack ideas? I often find myself trying and throwing away the same ideas over and over.

What's a point & click game without cursors for pointing and clicking?
Figured these should be pre-rendered sprites to fit with the crunchy 90s aesthetic - what do you think?

Last year I painted this piece of key art even though at that point the game was mostly just some ideas in a document. It's cool to get those ideas into something presentable you can show to people early.

Best in Show, not just a movie about dogs!
Yesterday we demoed our new game Chunk at the Queensland Games Festival and ended up receiving the Best in Show award!
It was a really great day and we want to thank QLD Games fest and ScreenQLD for the event and the award!

Introducing the main character of our game!
He's just a little fella who is excited to go out into the big world on his own for the first time and I'm sure nothing will go wrong and traumatise his small developing brain.

@closecallsports.bsky.social Any chance of a break down of the out at home in the bottom of the 10th for the Pirates Brewers game?
Looked like the run was called off the path, but have seen similar plays be called safe in the past.

Anyone having issues rendering out objects in Sequencer in UE5.5? Transforms seem broken for me. I'll key in locations and the objects won't move in the render, they move correctly in the preview. Tried SK and SM and both act the same.

Really good thread of lots of cool indie games.

Asterix on Netflix is a real treat.
It has some really nice use of colour and some really creative art direction.
Recommended it to everyone.
