A lot of people come into the games industry and pretty soon develop a cynical attitude that the industry is largely run by business guys who don't know a thing about video games. It's only after a few years and some seniority that you realize that those guys don't know shit about business either.

At 13, I taught myself scripting by making a d&d engine in the map editor for starcraft.
Bonus : I also learned to save, save often, AND save to multiple files when i lost 2 days of work due to a corrupt save file. Boy, was I giddy when I learned about source control.

[1/4] This is something I've been dreading to rework. The weapon moding system was one of the first things I've made for the game and as a result it was pretty rough around the edges, but it worked. Most of the time
So here's a before and after comparison.

ok. imagine this. your #unrealengine game is crashing but only with RDG multithreading on (no callstack). so you think - ok, let's run unreal insights to debug and figure out what's happening. but then, unreal insights crashes ...
what do i do now? run unreal insights for unreal insights ?

Finally moved away from SceneCapture+Ism for my #unrealengine line of sight system. Now I'm just rendering straight to texture in cpp. Seeing some bodacious performance gains!

#deadlock is like overwatch and league/Dota had a baby but when overwatch was fresh. Mobawatch. Kek.
Seems very polished. I have had numerous crazy comebacks. Balance isn't perfect but it's fun.
Bebop, Yamato, Abrams are my jam

5.5 added the console variable “tick.AllowBatchedTicks” which will automatically group together simple tick functions. It gives a bit of a boost to tick heavy projects but I'm keen to hear results from anyone that's enabled it and seen what happens! Anyone tinkered with 5.5 yet with info? #UETips

fellow #unrealengine devs - how do you retrieve/troubleshoot crashes experienced by players? Do you have a plugin you use for reporting crashes? What service does it leverage and how much $ does it cost?
I have atleast 1 player who reported frequent crashes in my steam reviews but i have gotten 0
