Does anyone know why #Unity promotes #UnrealEngine?
So Unity recently decided that the tiny startup I dayjob for needed to upgrade to Industry at 5k/year/seat. We had no chance to contest it because they would have killed our only product. They even threatened people we worked with in the past with the same.
It's not just us.
DO NOT USE UNITY!

If you’re into #techart and haven’t gotten this newsletter yet, what sign are you waiting for?
The reason why you see clear URLs in my newsletter and not some weird stuff is because I disabled all marketing tracking. I think it's important to know where you will end up after the click.

There is no "Unreal Engine" starter pack to follow.
So im creating one here: go.bsky.app/S3U5wKj
If you have any Unreal Engine skills, reply if you want to be added. Repost if you can so other people can be aware too.

Personally, I would recommend trying RenderDoc to have a better idea of the draw calls, overdraw, and source usage.
I finally understand draw calls. I think. maybe.

PCG is one of my favorite things of #UnrealEngine.
It offers numerous benefits and elevates games to a completely new level.
In my opinion, this represents the next gen of tool development.

You can get a lot more easy detail by scattering level instances instead of meshes and then leverage internal tag data for variation. It's how we have been approaching it at Epic! youtu.be/ncokCVoN-oU?...

What is the game industry to you?
For me, it’s a source of endless knowledge. I’ve always been a curious kid, and no matter how old I get, that feeling remains. I strive to learn something new every day.
Proud and happy to be part of this incredible industry!

People watch our GitHub submits so no point in being quiet. A chunk of our voxel research hit UE5 main today. Still very WIP but first time it’s coming out of a private stream. Some of it is building on prototypes I made 7 years ago now and talked about in my Journey to Nanite HPG talk.

UEFN and UE5 devs, are you using Per Instance Custom Value, and Primitive Data Values to drive material parameters directly in the editor/and at runtime?
I put a 5 minute rundown on how to make it work in UEFN UE5.5! Indiegamedev Optimizations www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9ik3Xq1Cz0

Fun fact: Big game dev studios still use Maya as their main DCC tool, while indie developers are switching to Blender. It’s easy to see why—Blender is free, open-source, and constantly improving! With the gap narrowing, how long will Maya remain the go-to for industry giants? Share your thoughts!

Starter pack I’m looked for
Fun fact: Not every indie studio has TechArt, but in big companies, it’s now split into characters, tools, optimizations, materials & procedural branches! A decade ago, TechArt was just a gray area between art & engineering. It’s amazing to see how much it’s evolved! #GameDev #TechArt

I’m really like that “starter pack” feature ✨
Since people have been asking, I've created a "Background Radiation" Games Industry Starter Pack! The goal is a pack that gives you a good horizontal overview of the games industry and its surrounding fields - and the conversations happening there.
