Mel Brooks will reprise his role as Yogurt, Spaceballs' comedic take on Yoda, in the sequel to the classic '80s sci-fi Star Wars parody, which means the actor will be 100 years old when it premieres in 2027. bit.ly/43F3u23

Luxo Jr. is getting the LEGO treatment.

My next main in Mario Kart:

That announcement was incredible .

Sorted my @developconference.com tickets. Can’t wait for it.

Adams been a great lecturer. Some one I’ve pestered an awful lot during my recent modules.

Playing about with the mass entity tools. Some good stuff here. #UE5

My latest #UnrealEngine tutorial is live - dev.epicgames.com/community/le... Hard references / Soft references - There always mentioned. But what actually is a reference? Big thank you to @tomlooman.bsky.social who helped confirm some things. You should deffo check his stuff out! #UE5

Taking a deep dive into world partition since sub levels are being depreciated. Some cool tools here.

Hitting a brick wall on my assignment. I have different systems, but getting them to feel like a game and as a collective is another challenge. Didn’t think I’d struggle this much on this assignment .

Whooop I’ve kept my accreditation 🥳 Love being part of this group. Being an Authorised Instructor is one of best things I’ve ever done. Some could say it’s Epic.. Now to move up the ranks and kick out more content. www.credential.net/2d216b64-b8b...

I’ve just spent 45 minutes trying to work out why my UI wouldn’t appear. Turns out I was trying to execute it from the failed cast node 🤣🤣

Sakamoto is pretty good ain’t it.

Hopefully dropping my next @unrealengine.bsky.social tutorial end of the month. Focussing a lot of my initial stuff on those switching engine. Spending time creating content on aspects that I either struggled with or did not know when I first switched. This next one is all about references.

Super proud moment. Kira completing Pokemon violet by herself.

Also big shout out to the Epic Educational team. The recent training they provided was hugely helpful in creating this tutorial and will be hugely impactful as I look to create more. It was very useful. Not just for creating content for Epic but for online content as a whole.

dev.epicgames.com/community/le... It's live. Quick demo on Game Mode and Game Instances. Many people who move to Unreal often take an approach that has you fighting the framework. + Game Instances class. A great way to move info between levels. Lots of changes to make moving forward.

Just finished my first Unreal video tutorial. A quick demo on Game mode and Game instance. May make it public rather than than just being active on UE forums. But honestly scared 😂 First video tutorial, lots to change. But first is always rough.

BRB just going to go cry. That exodus episode hits hard as a dad.

The Pokémon Trading Card Game has grown so valuable that Japanese crime syndicates are reportedly using it to launder money. bit.ly/4gvl3Fy

The Why of Level Design Part 6 Player Motivations and the Player Economy The 6th installment of my ongoing #leveldesign theory tutorial series is here! #gamedev #IndieGameDev #UEFN You can also find it on the Epic Dev site: dev.epicgames.com/community/le...

It’s submitted. That assignment was insanely intense.

The best order of operations for any mid-scope indie game that requires funding is: - Build it quickly & quietly assuming you'll self-publish - Pitch to everyone - If unsuccessful, put out a store page & start marketing - If successful, publishers will come back to you - If not, continue as-is

The business plan is complete. 🙌 only the build and pitch left. Can’t wait to submitted this assignment. Then actually get things moving 👀

Rare massive W from EA. They had a handshake "we won't sue you probably" agreement for a few years but this is huge W for accessibility for every game dev. Includes the IRIS plug-in for UE5. www.engadget.com/gaming/ea-ju...

My recent talk on switching into Unreal is up! This isn't about what button is where; it's about conceptual challenges involved and where talented folks still slip up when switching over. I hope it's useful to you or someone you know! #UETips www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJI3...

7 days till I submit this module assignment. It’s been eye opening, incredibly interesting but my god. I’m at that point where my motivation has just hit rock bottom.

Check this out if you’re interested in trying or learning about Unreal. www.unrealengine.com/en-US/news/f...

It’s that time of year again.

I can’t wait to share what’s going on in the background. Soon cool stuff being done. 👀👀

Slap me silly and call me Link. I’m now the hero of time.

There genuinly is no better course out there that comes close. Best thing you can ever do for yourself.

Very few people impact the industry in the way Shu has. I was very lucky to speak to him and also get a photo whilst he was in Brighton. Something I will forever cherish.

During my current masters module, I spoke to a solicitor who gave me amazing advice. Most lawyers will always give advice for free. Use them. It will be worth it.

I’ve not been inside the editor for a few weeks due to various things. Looking forward to jumping into 5.5.

I would encourage as many as possible to back this report - zurl.co/lomt

Our Director Shahneila Saeed delivered the keynote speech last week @techuk.bsky.social She spoke on Unlocking Learning Through the Gamification of Education and Play then chaired the panel discussion.

Genuinly over the moon that @designjunkie010.bsky.social is here. I was worried in the translation from X. She rocks, you should deffo check her level design stuff out!

Every year, over 6000 people graduate from games dev courses in the UK, but less than 500 roles are available in UK studios annually (!) But fear not! Here are some other options in other sectors 🧵👇

It’s registered 👀 let’s see what happens

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!

Starting a thread 🧵 on #gamedesign nuggets of wisdom...

This is gold👌

Pretty sure this is how Silent Hill starts

UE5.5 notes are crazy. Sooo much stuff.

Genuinely gutted I can’t be at #DevelopNorth tomorrow. I’m sure everyone will have an amazing event.

Throwback to 10 years ago. Holy shitballs

Arcane Season 2 episode. Daaam.

Just submitted the project to the Epic Indies interest form. Let’s see what happens.
