Simple depiction of a person, with “you” written on their chest. A rock flying over their head. “The point” written on it.

Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.
Would really be interested in fiction where a devil uses GenAI to create a cult.
When became reality so fictional?
Neuromancer will be a happy bedtime story in the future. And Cyberpunk2077 a cozy game.

Created my first animation in #UnrealEngine5
Nothing special, but I’m proud of it.
It also showed me, some errors in my #Metahuman
Somehow, the Mesh it is retargeted to is approx 10cm taller. Now it has a z-scale of 0.9 while the body 1.1 due to being a child.

Finally got some drive back to work on #Odium. Last couple of weeks wasn't really as planned, but the Forest starts to become the hellish environment it is meant to be. #ADHD be like work on everything a little bit. At least one ending riddle is finished.

Screenshot of Odium in Unreal Engine Editor. Unusual for the Game you see the dreamer from behind. She stands in front of some vines, which blocks her way. behind the vines you can see a building and some torches on Stone Pillars. The Building is below the Dreamer

Epic saw the Numbers #QuatschQuartett was doing and decided to add Side Scroller Template/Variant back to #UnrealEngine 5.6.
#GameDev
Screenshot from the GameDev.tv GameJam Scoring where the Quatsch Quartett reached, based on 12 Ratings rankes between 128(Story) and 455 (Sound) (what is not displayed there were over 1000 submitted Games Screenshot from the Unreal Engine Editor Version 5.6. the Third Person Template is selected and now there is a possibility to add a special Variant/Template with focus on 2.5D Platforming.

Uploaded the built to #itch. Need to modify the page before I release the #QuatschQuartett Game. The outcome of 5 days high intensity #GameDev
No time for procrastination, just focused work. But tbh I really need some time off afterwards.

The Pain Using #RealityScan in #UnrealEngine just a couple of Edges to many.
Screenshot of UE5.5 Modeling Section, reading This tool is currently disallowed from operating on a mesh of this resolution. Current limit set by "modeling.PolyEdit.EdgeLimit" is 60,000 edges, and mesh has 1,501,047. Limit can be changed but exists to avoid hanging the editor when trying to render too many edges using the current system, so make sure to save your work if you change the upper limit and try to edit a very dense

Made some progress, most gameplay features are done. Tomorrow I hope I can make progress with UI and maybe Level building.
In the last couple of Minutes had a lot of fun with Reality Scan.

Unreal Editor Screenshot with UE5 Quinn and Teddy and Norbi on one side and Shelby on the other. The scale is pretty similar Unreal Editor Screenshot with UE5 Quinn and Teddy and Norbi on one side and Shelby on the other. Quinn is way bigger then the others HUUUUUUUUUUUGE NORBI. Like the Biggest Norbi you’ve ever seen.

#UnrealEngine #MetaHuman arrived in #Odium
Took me way to long to retarget it to the existing Animations. But it is worth the trouble. SHE IS WEARING A SHELBY SHIRT (I know it is just an Template from Epic, but THAT IS SHELBY!)

Shelby is a buff and very cute Dog Screenshot of Odium, where the Protagonist stands on a hill, some trees in the Background. She is looking burdened. but good for her she wears a shirt, with a Dog Silhouette, which looks similar to Shelby with some Fantasy

I finally did it! 800 Hours #Anno 1800 @ubisoft.com
The expectations are high for the next one!
and btw @gog.com galaxy with its multiplatform integration is just the best.
Screenshot from gog galaxy. Anno1800; Stellaris and Cyberpunk are the most played games, with 800h 45min; 377h 32min; 343h 23min respectively, there are also some values when the games were released, How big there are installed and when I last played it. A Red arrow marks the Playtime Value of Anno1800. The reason for this post

The next #Odium Map starts to become what it is meant to be. A Maze. A place where the Dreamer can get lost.
I found a couple premade Spline Blueprints to let me keep track of the possible routes.
I really prefer to design as I develop, no preparation. #UnrealEngine #SoloDev #GameDev #ADHD
Screenshot of an Unreal Editor Window. The there are multiple Lanterns displaying marking different paths through the Map. There are only geographic Obstacles. Screenshot of an Unreal Editor Window.

Probably my game of the year 2025.
Even though I struggle with some fatal crashes, the game is still so good that I keep returning and always want to play more. #Avowed #GOTY @obsidian.net outdid themself again. Worthy successor of Pillars of Eternity. And #UE5 in its full beautiful glory

I don’t know how many times I started from scratch, because I wasn’t happy what I created, but now I have the outline and geography of the next #Odium dream. The material needs improvement and all the foliage is missing. I want more indoor levels…
#UnrealEngine #Solodev #GameDev #IndiDev
Unreal Engine Editor Screenshot of a topographical map. The material and lights doesn’t really look good for Unreal Engine stuff. It is really the rawest possible thing after a world material plane.

Right after a nice walk there has to be some nice cuddles. Shelby met one of her best friends. Except for lying on the floor there wasn’t much strength left. Best Sunday morning.

Shelby lies on the floor, on a carpet, her head rests on a foot in a floral sock. A person sits behind her. The focus is on her head.

The moment a big release also has some issues.
No shade, but let’s me feel a little better #indiegame #Avowed #UnrealEngine
But still Avowed is a very good game.

Endlich:
Toast/Brot Hawaii ganz in #vegan mit #Greenforce Kochschinken und #Mondarella Emmentaler. Ein Traum.
Vielleicht will ich auch einfach nur das Internet brennen sehen.

Not really liking the cold; but the light was great and the stick was tasty
#Winterwalk #Winterphotography #DogWalk
Shelby chews a stick while wearing a thick winter jacket. Light fog, and frozen grass beside her is a tree and the sun fights through the fog behind some trees Very similar to first one; more focus on Shelby and her chewing and less on the scenery

Finally investing some more time in #blender
Basic concept of a hut. Let’s see how far I can go.

Looking forward to not being dependent on bought/gifted assets for #gamedev

Chilly as hell (-7 degree Celsius) but the sun made it okayish. Beautiful morning walk with Shelby.
