Even small games have hundreds of assets, so the asset workflows are critical for any project, big or small.
The asset browser is a critical tool because of that. Asset importing, searching, and use, have to be easy to do. I wrote about it sometime ago here: rystorm.com/blog/asset-b...

Take a look at one of our most ambitious backgrounds! 🌊✨ Peñíscola’s iconic castle 🏰 plays a key role in Shadows of the Afterland.
Why a location in Valencia when the game is set in Madrid? 🤔 No spoilers, but it’s vital to Carolina’s story! 🖤🔮

Well, I never would have guessed that I would live in the 'Game Engine Snake Oil Salesman' era. This is quite an interesting timeline.

It's live. Quick demo on Game Mode and Game Instances. Many people who move to Unreal often take an approach that has you fighting the framework. + Game Instances class. A great way to move info between levels.
Lots of changes to make moving forward.

I love the revamping of Game Developer but am tired of all this engineers first - this is what games are - stories.
game != engine (for you nerds)
Also... the every game has to be a totally new thing, that new mechanics are required versus a good version of something is just lazy and exhausting.

One of the biggest questions in 2024 was if developers should move on from Unity and other proprietary engines, and if so, how?
At GDC 2024, developer Rez Graham made a case for building your own engine, outlining the available tools, as well as some pitfalls #GDBestof2024

Why (and how) you should leave Unity and Unreal to make your own engine
Longtime developer Rez Graham shares the advantages (and disadvantages) of building your own tech for indie game development.

Hear me out, one of the worst #UETips you probably saw. Used a lot in fast protyping if I want to avoid Casts (IE: I don't know the class) and is too early to implement interfaces. You can use 'Set timer By Function' to call it in an actor without parameters and if you set time more than zero.

For every like this gets, I’ll post a page of the manual with my thoughts on it.

Meshlet Compression using Mesh shaders gpuopen.com/learn/mesh_s...
Meshlet compression - Mesh shaders on AMD RDNA™ graphics cards
We show how to diminish the memory footprint of meshlet geometry, thus both the index buffer and the vertex attributes. Decompression then happens on the fly on every frame in the mesh shader.

I highly recommend this book, whether you're talking to someone important, like your special other, parents/siblings or friends, or even business partner/coworkers. It takes a lot to be vulnerable and to speak honest truth, but that goes a long way to prevent the growth of resentment.
