These are my porch babies. I will guard them with my life. They also apparently never stop eating. The parent birds work overtime feeding them.

Been working on adding edge logic conditionals to LoomGraph.com. So you can define logic conditions (player.level > 10), weights, or probabilities. Given what your use case is for you game. #unrealengine #ue5 #godot #unity3d

You can add attributes to each node, which allows you to extend its data footprint. For instance in my game I use QuestId, QuestType, Description, CompletedLogText, etc etc. These attributes will be serialized with each node on export. My own use case is I then load this JSON into a #UE5 Datatable

To solve a problem I had, I have been building a node base narrative tool, so I can visually see my quests/steps and I can edit the flow, attributes, etc. This allows me to export into json to import into #UE5. www.loomgraph.com I plan on opening this up to users in the next few weeks.

I wrote an NHL themed MCP server, to learn about MCP. It uses my nhl python library. Im not sure what use it has outside of learning, but it does work.

Been working on a node based editor for narrative design, specifically quest / steps. Something that I can easily visualize, edit, and export into a format that I can then load into #UE5 datatable that holds my quests. It's coming along nicely. I would be curious if this is of interest to anyone

So I think I got the initial UI to a place im happy with for now. Navigation, layout and keyboard/mouse or controller support. Also save slots can be created, loaded and started.
I use UE5 CommonUI and MVVM packages to accomplish this. So happy to get back to actual mechanics now.

I think im throwing in the towel for UI stuff for the time being. I got UE commonUI working with keyboard/controller, but everything seems so difficult. Pop ups, view models, saving/loading. I have been digging thru Lyra's code and it just seems so convoluted. All I want is a basic menu system.

My old guy had surgery this morning. He survived it and is recovering. Stressful morning, but I am way to use to this having, a few cats with rare issues.

First time working with #UE5 's PCG stuff. Quite simple to get a nice diverse forest laid out, with clear trails/pathways. Not sure the pros/cons vs foliage editor, but this was quite simple with minimal performance impact with nanite everything.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #522,911!

Been trying to focus on a playable vertical slice of this game. The quest system now supports locations, interaction events, collections, and general game events. Slowly replacing all event broadcasting with my own GlobalEventSystem in #ue5. Helps reduce dependencies and coupling between objs.

Started playing guild wars 2. Most of the time I have no idea what's going on. But it's been fun so far.
