PCGEx 5.6 has now reached a whopping 3000 commits 😅

You don't hate Rockstar enough, once again circumstances prove that the negative stories about them aren't exaggerated, but watered down. gtaforums.com/topic/100418... Boeing of gaming companies.

Some progress on importing @watabou.bsky.social' JSON exports using #PCGEx <3 #unreal #pcg #watabou

@proceduralminds.bsky.social just pushed a really cool intro to #PCGEx filter ecosystem which is hand down one of the anti-pattern I’m the most proud of introducing into PCG :D youtu.be/lqS9u3ll48s?...

Survive the cursed forest by day - hunt, scavenge, endure. Defend your people by night - lead, heal, and hold back the darkness. Peregrino is a survival journey through faith, fear, and the edge of despair. 🛒 Add it to your wishlist: bit.ly/PeregrinoGame #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

@watabou.bsky.social Hey there! I'm thinking of parsing the output of your generators to generate PCG data skeletons in Unreal -- would that be ok with you? And if so, how stable are your different data models for the existing generators? Feel free to DM me if you want to take this in private!

MeshBlend is finally here! 🥳 So proud to finally release what I've been working on for 16 months! MeshBlend brings next generation blending to Unreal. Easy to use, fast and great quality! Available on Fab for #UE5 now! #gamedev #unrealengine

#PCGEx Discord hit the 600 members milestone(?) today, and yet there is still no proper documentation for the plugin. :D

Weeee #PCGEx 0.66 is officially out on FAB! - Decent changelog : pcgex.gitbook.io/pcgex/infos/... - New Cool™ Examples in the example project : github.com/Nebukam/PCGE... #unreal #techart #ue5 #pcg #opensource

Fun stuff coming to #PCGEx example project tomorrow (or earlier, or later, depending on when FAB push goes through) 👀

highly recommend making a fully procedural character controller, there's no way you'll spend too much time on it.

In an industry just full of so many blatantly anti consumer practices, it's important we are fighting back in any way possible "Games as a service" is theft #stopkillinggames EU: eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#... UK: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

I'm giving this a huge shout-out, especially today when this ultra-talented open source developer helped me improve a challenging PCGEx cluster-graph filtering issue. Awesome plugin, awesome dev, awesome ecosystem around it. And hell yeah, it builds on Linux!

In other news : boing.

Just pushed version 0.65 of PCGEx for Unreal 5.6! 🚀 This release comes after a nerve-wracking refactor to align with the new data architecture; painful, but worth it. Big thanks to the always-growing community, you keep this alive ❤️ #pcg #unreal #pcgex

as a child I thought it was wildly unrealistic that Sims would immediately give up on all their goals and dreams if a single dirty plate was left on the ground but now that I’m an adult I understand that that was the most realistic part of the game

Hop in, Vagabonds...✈️🪐 #Atmosfar #games #explore #discover #GameDev #IndieGame

Steam page now up- bit premature as I don't have a trailer yet, but since I'm on Inside Unreal tonight it's better to have it than not. Wishlist today! store.steampowered.com/app/3680580/... forums.unrealengine.com/t/inside-unr... #gamedev #indiedev #ue5 #robots #london

don't forget

For #UE5 folks working in PCG, you owe it to yourself to check out this free tool. It can be a bit overwhelming to learn, as ProceduralMinds' video says, but #PCGEx does the heavy lifting on a lot of complex geometry problems.

Looking for potential new team members for GRIDHACK: Due to funding requirements MUST be based in Canada, diverse backgrounds welcome and encouraged! - 3D art (low poly) - Programming (Unity) - Narrative - Production If interested, send me a summary of your background and experience. Pls share!

I also started writing up the process on my blog, which you can check out here: jeanpaulsoftware.com/2025/02/25/f... - this first bit is mostly about how PCG works. It's not a tutorial, it's more a primer for how to start thinking about how the system works. Let me know if you find it useful...

20 minutes late for #screenshotsaturday (UK time) but let's do it anyway- got basic traffic working in #procedural #london using the #ue5 Mass Entity system and the new zone graph stuff in PCGEx. No bus and cycle lanes as yet, but we'll get there... #gamedev

Absolutely bonkers work by Ed :D This is getting juicier and juicier with every update.

Been a little while since I've done a proper #screenshotsaturday post on this #ue5 #gamedev #pcg London, but I've made a ton of progress and fixed all the bugs I was really interested in fixing. So here goes... 1/n

Absolutely insane amount of work ❤️

@proceduralminds.bsky.social had his first contact with #PCGEx this weekend, and he's saying very good things about it 👀 -- I really need to tackle that documentation debt, it's more like bankruptcy at the moment 😅 www.youtube.com/watch?v=mA_U...

Think I've finally cracked the 'natural' layout for this #ue5 #gamedev #procedural city project...

and finally- I've written a new node for @nebukam.bsky.social 's PCGEx, which allows you to extract values from an enum of your choice. I'm using a lot of a data tables and data assets, and it was getting a bit annoying to work with enums when they were all ints. Hopefully in soon...

No one - absolutely no one on planet earth - is more frustrated by a game’s bugs than the people who made it One of the criticisms I’ve seen lately re: bugs is that devs just shrug and go “them’s the breaks.” no. We are little balls of rage, spite, and swallowed tears

More PCGEx tensor goodies because I can’t get enough of them apparently

Started working on tensor flows for PCGEx, and it's beautiful. #PCGEx #PCG #Unreal #TechArt

The passing process once again! ✨🌟✨Happy new year!!✨🌟✨ Best wishes and all the success possible for all of you for 2025!! You got this 💪

#PCGEx, an Unreal' open source PCG plugin I've been working on for over a year is finally available on FAB! www.fab.com/listings/3f0... #ue5 #pcg #gamedev #procgen Thanks @amathlog.bsky.social for the all the support, you're not getting rid of me just yet 💙

This shows the actual layout. I did play around with imposter planes as well, but didn't notice any real performance gain, so I'll stick with cuboids for now. Next is generating different building blocks, which I've made some progress on but needs a little more thought...

The broad idea is to trace paths through a field of directions. In the image below, the red arrows denote a direction to interpolate towards, and the yellow dots are locations to interpolate towards. The individual points then do a weighted sum of those rotations based on range.

#ue5 #procedural city update for #screenshotsaturday - added lights, parks, and some more interesting building patterns. It's getting close to 'good enough' so I can go back to the actual #gamedev bit I left before going down this particular rabbit hole 1/n

If you're a #gamedev using #ue5 #pcg you should definitely check out PCGEx by @nebukam.bsky.social - github.com/Nebukam/PCGE... . This is *mostly* because it's packed with great things, but also because I just had a PR accepted that adds a lot of very handy nodes for commonly used constants. 1/n

#UE5 #PCG #PCGEX procedural city update for #screenshotsaturday - a lot of things solved, but hardly any of them visible. This turns out to be one of those things where getting 90% of the way there is easy, and then you find you have another 90% to do. And the last 10 percent takes even longer

@thespaceshipper.bsky.social just wanted to say thanks for the starter packs ❤️
