Fringe - one of my favorite series, so I want to add amber to the game. A gas that crystallizes. If there's a hole in the wall and there's no atmosphere behind it, everything will blow away. So this technology has limitations in outer space and Moon

Steam Frame, finally the VR gaming trend can grow faster! 2 years before the Steam Deck came out, I said that Valve would release a portable console, I said it more than once. My game dev colleagues in the office didn't believe it and laughed at this prediction.

Yes, I'm currently doing sound design 🔊, so get ready to hear my various experiments. Glitches and sparks, electricity and energy, technology and space, it's all be in my Sci-Fi game, so it all needs to be created. I love Unreal Engine and MetaSound

I try to read this book every day, at least 1 chapter. The fact that this book was written a little less than 20 years ago, the information is still relevant today. It is like a foundation for a game designer. I recommend it to all indie developers

My plans - start making sound design for the demo. So everything you see this week will be from the past. This was the first gameplay of cleaning, the dirt texture is not a decal, after 6 months I redid it for the cleaning robot and decals #UnrealEngine #indiedev #gamedev

Game design, such as the sequence of actions in the environment between objects after the player's actions, can be seen and found anywhere. My son loves Gravitrax, he's a fan. Today I realized that my game has some similar actions and visual design. #gamedev is everywhere

Electricity is on schedule, I decided to stay awake, so I ate jam, drank tea and worked with Unreal Engine. I made the final text for Terminal, now collecting screenshots and videos that I made before (hundreds) for the Steam page. This week is the chosen one, the time has come.

This is so funny. I wrote you about this book and added the words "Holy Grail", and 10 minutes later, I see these words in the book. This is probably a sign that I and you need to read this book completely as soon as possible!

I found what I needed to read, an old #book (~18 years) that I consider to be the Holy Grail and something that every human from #gamedev should definitely read. I don't understand why it hasn't been republished and isn't available in e-book format. Emergence in Games, by Penny Sweetser

I used to collect books about game development, it was 2012. Today I remembered it, found old HDD and in the folder there are 14GB of books on the topic of game development. I wish I hadn't found them, because now I want to reread them all, or skim through them, even the ones I don't need to know

And here's what my 11-year-old son does when there's no electricity. He experiments with Lego Mindstorms and various additional kits that are not related to Lego, but are compatible, today with pneumatics

and this, I did this last year when I was experimenting with effects and physics in Unreal Engine, but the idea of combining it together only came to me today #scifi #gaming #videogames #gamedesign

Due to the night attack of evil, we have no electricity all day. Therefore, Unreal Engine is postponed, I'm writing texts for the game. I had an idea that - I won't say, but it's a combination of this and ⤵️

Friday's Unreal Engine for me was about doors. Do you like doors in games? Do you like the band The Doors? I listened to their songs a little to get inspired and then I created Niagara, now the doors open epically, more Sci-Fi #UnrealEngine #gamedev #indiedev #UE5

From my past. A big game about the Moon, which I started making in 2014 but froze forever. The idea was born at the 2013. I still have a lot of material (game design document, hundred concept arts) and a memories. I will write about it sometimes, and I hope that it will inspire not only me again

Hello sci-fi lovers, hello programs, hello gamers... There will be something in this place that absorbs energy, it will suck your spirit, robot, so be careful. But it is not evil, it is technology that gives energy.

Oh no, coyote loser, I saw that the corners of the frame are the wrong color at the intersection, so I need to add a Saturate node

Now I definitely did it. Am I a super genius? Or maybe Wile E. Coyote? Generate a texture with text in any language and font for the decal and a customizable frame. Now I will write on the walls. Unreal Engine my cave

I used to buy a lot of books before #gamedev hundreds about IT. This is the first book about a programming language that I bought today, after 7-10 years. I had little experience with #python and it was a long time ago, I forgot everything. I love the Head First series. So, why do I need Python now?
