Spent some time yesterday (and I will be working on it again later today) on my new environment in Unreal Engine 5, still in the block out phase whilst I work on the Trim textures and the Tile sheets. Decided to do 2 different lighting setups for this one!

Blue Bottle Games, as a policy, does not use generative AI. It's something we've discussed as a team, weighing the pros and cons, and ultimately, we decided it was not for us. Recently, while chatting with a colleague, she mentioned it was useful hearing our reasoning. So: Sharing time! 1/12

The only wheelchair using speaker gets the stage without a ramp.

I've sat with this for a week, calming down before I felt ready to post about it, but I want to talk about Develop not having a ramp for the stage I gave my talk on. Those that know me will know just ...

Got to meet an all time hero yesterday at Develop! @gamemakerstoolkit.com A genuinely nice and super friendly person. The work he's done for the game dev education scene (for free!) is huge, and I learned so much from his videos. And his game jams are my favourite!

Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer (2002) how the did they get the water to look like that, this is incredible I don't mean the reflections, look at the shape of the wave as it moves, the lighting, the glow.. This and the game loop are **amazing** and needs to be studied This is lost technology oh my god

given that there's a contact sensor in the ball, i think the world cup broadcasts are missing an opportunity to implement screen shake

Let's talk about naming your video game! This is something I come back to with teams over and over again. Naming is really hard. A decent name is hard to find, and a bad one will really make it hard for people to remember your game. Here are some tips.

With animation, not only do you have to understand movement and physics, but you have to interpret movement. How personality and mood and thought manifests physically in ways you can read. What is the rhythm of a type of person. It's part actor, part choreographer, part body language analysis.

I've been thinking a lot about visible vs invisible skill layers. i.e every craft has outer layers of skills that laypeople can recognise, and inner layers that you need expertise and experience to perceive at all. Could y'all think of examples of visible vs invisible skills in your own discipline?
