A long time ago on the other place I did a post of random bits of Unreal things I think are neat and handy to have knowledge of, so I'm going to post some of them on here as well!
Old vids are UE4 but still relevant in UE5
Hope you find something useful!

I launched a new project last week! "Play With Your Own Junk" is a collection of free games you can play with stuff you already own.
It's my way of making space for anticapitalist art that challenges overconsumption and the carbon impact of large-scale product production.

but if you take either of those approaches - that players derive joy from communicating with the devs through play, whether it's beating their challenges or being led carefully through them - then it really highlights why a lot of gen AI in the game experience is just undesirable
