RetroSurface released!

Hey all, I've released RetroSurface, an Unreal Material base intended to be used with old school, low resolution textures like those you might find in Doom. Why not just use point filtering? Point fil...

Just released the Material base I use on Vesper to get nice, chunky anti-aliased pixels with meaningful shimmer reduction. Check it out! riversalmon.itch.io/retro-surfac... *example image uses Makkon Textures, not included. #unrealengine #retro #gamedev

Congratulations everyone

Art is communication. I don't care about talking to an algorithm.

Rest well in Valhalla, Burger Becky. Your contributions to the video games industry, and of course - DOOM - will live on with us here on earth forever

HEARTBREAKING NEWS: Ubisoft was asking too much for the "Tonic Trouble" IP, so unfortunately my acquisition bid fell through at the last minute

What UVing in a good level editor tool is like: Select a face and Alt + RMB on hovered faces to flow it to that face. I can also flow it from the hovered face to the selected faces with Shift + Alt + RMB (coming in Scythe 0.7).

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

New update to Scythe, my Source 2 Hammer inspired level editor for Unreal Engine 5! New features below! 🧵(1/6)

Hey all, I've been maintaining a games-focused community fork of #unrealengine available to UE licensees over at github.com/River-Salmon.... Come on in, we've got User Defined Shading Models!

Ex-farm worker here. We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing. Not true AT ALL. Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are. The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour. At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.

Property History is out! Quickly see the history of any property in Unreal Engine

Hey y'all! I am Fairweather, and I make singleplayer levels for Quake, Team Fortress 2 and Doom! Here's some of my work, I typically focus on encounter design, but here's some pretty visuals to catch your eye. Reposts appreciated.

If I was a dev and I had spent years working on a game and my boss went on stage and looked like this much of a jackass I'd be so pissed

Oh.. oh no.

one of the saddest things about western masculinity is that it comes with a predetermined set of life goals from the very start. a kind of life that one should live, and things they should strive for lest they be a failure as a man. none of that sounds like freedom

another shot of the Retro Surface material I'm making to make using nice crunchy pixel textures look right in #unrealengine

Using some UV tricks from Inigo Quilez's blog, I was able to get very convincing pixel textures but still using regular samplers - meaning you get to use shared samplers, anisotropic filtering, etc! I also have some PBR inference from color textures worked in too. Textures by Makkon.

Honestly the only thing anyone needs to know at any age is that anyone who says they have the “answers” to anything I life is 100% full of shit

The problem with "you're wrong about" type podcasts is that eventually they get around to covering something you actually know quite a bit about and when they get major things wrong it bursts the illusion that the hosts know anything other than how to make a podcast.

Look at what a simple temp pivot + shift drag extrude can do in Unreal Engine now with Scythe (coming in the next version).

before I forget, here's some art I made in Quake

If we’re renaming bodies of water based on petty grievances, I propose that this be renamed the Kendrick Lamar passage.

I'm that purple marine there. Much exciting new possibilities in multiplayer classic #Doom!

Network test success. Slowly lifting the GZDoom netcode curse. Ongoing behind the scenes netcode improvements, and improved it has. 6 players across the world, no connection troubles (OGs remember the struggle), SMOOTH prediction (feels like playing single player), no jitter/rubberbanding. #GZDoom

A friend of mine just pitched something to a studio and the executive said, “That’s great, but nobody is buying anything with a point of view right now.”

The only successful type of game going forward is the kind I make and like. All other types of game are doomed to fail because players don’t like those games, as demonstrated by the commercial failure of one specific example, Game X. Don’t be an idiot, be a clever person, like me.

doctor who should bring nikola tesla back so they can do the opposite of the ending of vincent and the doctor and bring him to the modern day and have him hate what his legacy is
