Game developer (Ghost of a Tale) and animation supervisor on 2D and 3D movies (DreamWorks, Illumination).

Ahem... Anyone knows how to pan with the middle mouse button in the sequencer in UE5? It seems to be hard-locked by default to the right mouse button. Which is awkward to say the least...

"We used a 3D model that SOMEONE had made"...?! Sorry, that's not how you present things. The correct way is "We didn't create or design the backgrounds, Mike Kurabi did". The authorship of things is getting muddy as hell with AI...

If you currently live on this planet you might be aware Russia launched a full-on military invasion of Ukraine over a year ago. So enjoy this short video of the Russian foreign minister getting laughed at by a crowd in India when pretending otherwise.

PSA: If you're into old-school RPGs you could do worse than diving into @spiderwebsoft's games. As a reminder, here's Jeff's GDC lecture from 2018, about surviving as a Very Small game developer:
