Sadly I'm not able to attend UEFest Stockholm due to illness :( I hope you will all have a great time!

Even though its not a genre I usually enjoy, I decided to give Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 a go, and I'm glad I did! One of the most unique games I've played, probably one of my top 10 favorites. This is going to win all the awards this year :) #GOTY

I will be at UnrealFest Stockholm in September, come say hi and talk game AI with me :)

Truly a privilege to have worked on this project with such amazingly talented people at both CDPR and Epic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aorR...

Unreal 5.6 is live! www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOX4...

Thanks for tuning in to The Witcher 4 — Unreal Engine 5 tech demo and joining us during the State of Unreal 2025! #UnrealFest The full presentation will be uploaded and shared with everyone later today, but in the meantime, here's four screenshots straight from the demo to tide us all over. 😍

Epic Games and CD Projekt have shown off a stunning tech demo of The Witcher 4 running on Unreal Engine 5.

We'll be coming together with Unreal Engine to present during the State of Unreal. We’re looking forward to showcasing some of the innovative technology & features that will power The Witcher 4, and beyond. Join us at #UnrealFest — 9:30 AM ET | 3:30 PM CEST on June 3: epic.gm/state-of-unreal-2025

Dont forget to tune in tomorrow to watch the State of Unreal livestream! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ajik...

Yesterday Unreal 5.6 Preview was released, lots of goodies in this one :) Take a look at the updated roadmap for an idea of what's in this release: portal.productboard.com/epicgames/1-...

Its been a while since a game 100% hooked me from the start, but Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 has definitely done so! World building, story, characters and systems are all amazing here and I look forward to really dive in for the next 100? hours or so :)

Finally upgraded my keyboard, got one of those fancy Keychron Q6 Max now.. damn the thing is smooth and responsive! Been using a WASD Code for the last 11 or so years.

Really great listen here, 4.5 hour interview with Tim Sweeney :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=477q...

Agenda for UEFest Orlando is up and its huge! So many great talks :) epic.gm/unreal-fest-...

I just started playing Assassins Creed: Shadows, and really enjoying it! Weird how that "internet rage" often feels disconnected from reality.

Im very excited about the work my team has been doing for Unreal 5.6, its turning out to be a big release for us. Huge improvements to State Tree and Mass, among others :) Cant wait to see what you all think!

Oh, we announced it already? Unreal Fest Europe will be in Stockholm Sept 22-24, reserve the dates! We're also moving Unreal Fest Gold Cost to sunny Bali, June 25-26, call for proposals is open right now! Info coming later for Tokyo, Shanghai and Seoul. unrealengine.com/news/unreal-...

Its been a difficult game to get into, but I'm really enjoying Warframe these days! Good alternative to Destiny 2, which sadly is a shadow of what that game used to be :/

Sometimes I feel like my views are radical... Its simple, be kind and treat everyone equally. But I must admit my tolerance for hate is low.

Anyone else feel like sometime their productivity gets supercharged simply by finding the right music to your current mood?

Those of you still using Behavior Trees in Unreal, are there reasons why you havent switched over to using State Tree? Im genuinely interested to hear, and what we can do to improve the tool.

My reaction when a new NVidia GPU is announced: "Wow those are some huge gains!" My reaction when a new CPU is announced: "Meh" Why is the CPU industry not on the same incremental growth curve? Is it a lack of a driver/need?

Back to work tomorrow, huge stack of exciting projects awaits!

Happy new year from Berlin! Streets here were an absolute warzone at midnight.

For Christmas we give you the recording for Myth-busting "Best Practices" in Unreal Engine 🎁🎄 And don't worry, watching this doesn't count as "working during the holidays", it's just great fun! 😄 #uetips www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2ol...

Went surfing first time in my life today, in December! Everything hurts now :)

Without a doubt, Path of Exile 2 is one of the best games Ive played in a looong time! I hope it will have as rich of a lifetime and expansion as PoE 1.

Whats this? A metal song about programming (in Java though)? 🤣 www.youtube.com/watch?v=yup8...

I so dont miss (current) Twitter/X. Very happy to have stopped using that platform :)

Unreal 5.5 has a LOT of great additions for profiling, performance and optimization. I've compiled a list of the most interesting changes, with some commentary. www.tomlooman.com/unreal-engin... These awesome features and improvements will be included in my Game Optimization Course asap!

What do you all consider the ideal approach to author AI behaviors? Freeform graphs spaghetti? A more structured hierarchical fsm? Utility scoring? Something else? Consider ease of authoring, flexibility and ease of maintaining (thats where normal behavior trees fail IMO).

If you’re new to Bluesky - please have at least 1 original post on your profile to show me you’re worth following back. So many folks here have nothing but their bio, but that’s just not enough!

Well on my way to regain the follower count I had on that ex platform :) Welcome everyone, I will be more active once back on my feet.. dealing with some illness atm.

Best upcoming feature of 5.6 right here! Amazing that this was finally fixed <3 Ari you are a true hero!

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

Had the pleasure of attending a Wardruna concert last night, what a feast for the ears :) Those of you who dont recognize the name probably heard their music in either the Vikings TV show or in the Assassins Creed Valhalla soundtrack. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfiZ...

Unreal Engine 5.5 is out :) lots of great stuff in this release! dev.epicgames.com/documentatio...

Here is @mikkomononen.bsky.social 's excellent talk on State Tree from UEFest Prague this summer. #unreal #ue5 #ai #statetree www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEmq...

We just released a talk called "PCG: Advanced Topics & New Features in UE 5.5", see what cool things you can make with PCG in Unreal 5.5! (note that this is more of a showcase than a tutorial) #uetips www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3ke...

Maybe time to start posting here too! Hopefully can find some more folks from Twitter!

One of the breakthrough hits for me this year is a German game called Enshrouded, and they just realeased a massive new update. They have their own custom engine and voxel world, and its mighty impressive! Probably the best visualization of voxels I've seen, being able to add detail dynamically. 🧵

Oh great, I woke up in the dark timeline :/

Just started Factorio again, havent played since launch of 1.0! Loading in I just blink and have no clue how to play again :) Im sure in a few days I'll be launching rockets into space and conquering other planets.

Ive been following Unreal Engine releases since UE 4.0, and it still blows my mind how much is added into every release. Now as part of Epic I see a bit more, and it blows my mind even harder! Truly amazing people who work here.

Come work with me! We are looking for an expert in navigation and AI systems to come help us build the next generation of Unreal Engine! #UE5 #UnrealEngine #jobs www.epicgames.com/site/en-US/c...

Might be time to fully move over here?

Good luck with Whamageddon this year. Let the games begin!

So today is German Unity day? Why haven't they switched to Unreal already??

This week I had to solve a tough problem in Unreal, namely replicate large arrays. This is an optimization that is alternative to replicating thousands of actors, which of course doesnt work. Thread 🧵

Ive been playing Remnant 2 lately, and its the surprise hit of the year for me! I fear this excellent game is getting a bit lost since it launched at a similar time as Baldurs Gate 3 (which is probably my GOTY tbf).
