New Video on YouTube: "We're Wrong About DayZ's Central Economy - Part 1 - Nominal and Min" youtu.be/TU1CRnZLxyg

Two songs from the Arc Raiders soundtrack are now live. So good. I'm getting more and more stoked for this game. music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Just finished reading this. I grew up with all the music of this era and was completely unfamiliar with J DIlla. Great read.

New Film Review on my cinema channel. Have you seen the film? What did you think? youtu.be/LY1Iiljqj0A

Did you know that before making "Her" Spike Jonze wrote and directed a short film titled "I'm Here" in which robots and humans live side-by-side and two robots fall in love? I just discovered this. youtu.be/CWnqTukQmyM?...

The Mandalorian theme is one of the most iconic of our time for me. Ludwig Göransson is so great. youtu.be/_pa1KLXuW0Y?...

Just got a Circuit Tracks. So fun to play with. youtu.be/Lwv4TeqFMiw?...

Just pre-ordered Arc Raiders. Anyone else looking forward to it?

Hey all! I just created a new YouTube channel to post film-related content, reviews, essays, critiques, etc. Subscribe if you're interested! 👍 www.youtube.com/@lootcinema

I recently watched Ballerina. Here's a quick 2 minute review (no spoilers) youtu.be/QtpsuWM5-30?...

My favorite films. What are yours? 🎬

Movie watched: F1, 2025. My rating: 3.0/5. I think it's about as good as a high concept movie about Formula 1 can be.

Movie watched: The Worst Person in the World, 2021. My rating: 2.5/5. It's decent. Visually stunning. But the hype is beyond me a bit.

Finally arrived! Stranger Things scripts.

Movie watched: Ballerina, 2025. My rating: 3.0/5. Solid evolution of the John Wick franchise and Gun Fu.

Movie watched: City of God, 2002. My rating: 3.5/5. Watched on Sunday August 24, 2025.

Played a bit more of the Battlefied 6 Open Beta today. Finally got back into the Recon groove. youtu.be/YOxHnSmUo1A

Movie watched: Enemy, 2013. My rating: 2.5/5. Wtf.

Movie watched: Beyond the Black Rainbow, 2010. My rating: 2.0/5. I randomly came across the soundtrack for this film. The soundtrack is fire 🔥. Visually, the film is great. I actually really liked it, until the ending didn't do the rest of the film justice.

Played the Battlefield 6 Open Beta some over the weekend. What are your thoughts? youtu.be/RkoA4Qsu0S0

Movie watched: The Descent, 2005. My rating: 2.5/5. Quality B movie horror. First saw it about 15 years ago.

Movie watched: The Devil Wears Prada, 2006. My rating: 3.0/5. Embarrassed that I'd never seen this before. Not bad.

Movie watched: There Will Be Blood, 2007. My rating: 4.0/5. My third viewing overall I think. Another great one.

Movie watched: No Country for Old Men, 2007. My rating: 4.0/5. It gets better every time I watch it. Anton Chigurh is one of the all-time great characters.

Movie watched: The Grey, 2011. My rating: 3.0/5. Surprisingly great movie given a dumb seeming premise. I read the screenplay first which is excellent.

New Blog Post: Understanding Unreal Landscape Units. Trying to explain this to myself 😂 blog.thisisloot.com/understandin...

Painted cloud effect in Unreal

Working on some animation outline and shader effects in Unreal.

Continuing to learn Blender. Obligatory donut tutorial render result. Not bad. Learned a TON.

New toy. #arturia

A little grayboxing. #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #solodev

Watching The Last of Us series gave me an idea for a game: You're a sniper in a post-apocalyptic city and you survive as long as you can by shooting other snipers before they shoot you. There's no hunger, thirst, etc. You don't leave your post. Just sniping.

#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #solodev

Not bad for literally the first thing I've tried to create in Blender. #solodev #indiegame

Some 3D modeling work today.

Amazing. Regardless of your thoughts on the game itself, this cinematic is incredible. youtu.be/fvbEnWLRo1s?...

It's the little things. Getting skid marks set up in Unreal. #solodev #indiegame

Blueprints in Unreal can't handle int64?

New Blog Post: Creating an Infinite World - Chunk Management in Unreal Engine https://blog.thisisloot.com/creating-an-infinite-world-chunk-management-in-unreal-engine/

I've had parts of this written down for a while - but I thought it was about time to document the detailed version of what happened during Balatro development localthunk.com/blog/balatro...

Someone asked me how to create a full-resolution sat map of @DayZ maps using the tiles in the game files so I created a repo with instructions and all the scripts you need. #DayZ github.com/ThisIsLoot/D...
