Hey everyone! I’m very excited to share I’ve joined the team at Great Ape Games as a level designer working on The Lost Wild 🦖 youtu.be/fA1AkZn2PrE?...

starting to build out a proper test mission to stress test mechanics so far 😎 #gamedev #indiedev #UE5

security camera first pass is done, it’s networked and alerts guards, and has a line of sight check if you run behind walls/cover! #indiedev #gamedev #UE5

fuck yeah Scowl!!

was starting to get annoyed by having individual pickup actors to populate a scene, so took the time to make a universal object spawner that I can place anywhere and quickly switch between different data tables. #gamedev #indiedev #UE5

GTA 6 looks bonkers, and damn near done? Weird they’ve delayed

Today I released Scythe 0.4.0 which brings Hotspots to Unreal 5.5: 🧵(1/9)

One of the biggest updates to @kronok.bsky.social’s incredible Scythe level design tool for UE5.5 has added texture Hotspot support 🤯 #gamedev #indiedev #UE5 youtu.be/WS0GP-UuFOQ?...

waking up to a brand new Loathe single in like 5 years is a glorious time to be alive

Today is the anniversary of Roll7’s untimely and unnecessary demise. RIP to a legendary studio I was so proud to be part of.

very early WIP but I got the fundamentals of a scoped sniper working! #gamedev #indiedev #UE5

Long distance knife throws are extremely fun 😮‍💨 #gamedev #indiedev #UE5

When Knife Throwing Goes Wrong! #gamedev #indiedev #UE5

I made a thing! "Texture Browser" is a Unity editor tool for... browsing and using textures! Inspired by @joewintergreen.com 's tool for UE, I made this for myself to work with Realtime CSG. You can find it on Itch & GitHub! billowper.itch.io/texture-brow... #gamdev #unity3d #indiedev

if you are a cis person it costs you nothing to just say today that you see & hear your trans sisters & brothers & others over in the UK today -- and around the world, too, knowing that rulings like today's ripple out in ugly ways.

Hey the UK Supreme Court is a supreme buncha cunts and they can get fucked for legislating this transphobic bullshit

Fuck YES I just got some extremely good news

More guard behaviours! You can sneak up behind and make them surrender! Holster your gun and they will try to lower their hands 👀 #indiedev #gamedev #UE5

The NowTV app has to be one of the most dog shit streaming services out there. It just doesn’t even fucking work with chrome casting at the moment

I’ve never been the biggest fan of LCD Soundsystem - entirely through fault of my own I might add- but listening to All My Friends again today just totally fucking wrecked me in a way a song has not done for years

Marathon stylistically is so fucking cool but it being just another extraction shooter really deflated the potential excitement I had for it

Been waiting to add this for ages, but if you're precise enough, you can now shoot grenades guards are carrying and set them off! Also guards will run away from nearby live grenades #gamedev #indiedev #UE5

Accidentally made my AI enemies into professional grenade throwers #gamedev #indiedev #UE5

We are so BACK youtu.be/Nfk1Su1Q8SI?...

Added more enemy behaviours! They will adjust movement speed based on distance, take cover and pop out to shoot and also throw grenades! (Sometimes currently explode themselves lol) #gamedev #indiedev #UE5

oh my god that new Sleep Token track is like liquid shit in my ears

Hmm Donkey Kong Red Faction Edition looks pretty fantastic
