Finished setting up my threadripper & restoring most of my apps, copied over my development projects. Wow what a difference in performance. Glad i went back to this machine. Tomorrow I re-setup my streaming software and i'll be back to 100% #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine

Anyone else use #Samsung penup to sketch and draw with? Im coming from procreate on an iPad and have been using penup the last 3 months on my phone and tablet. Today for some reason my tablet drafts are gone but I can see them on my phone still. It says it syncs and my pub art shows on both. #artist

Been a crazy couple months... Upgraded from a threadripper 3970x to a i9 13900k, wasn't happy w perf then upgraded to an AMD 9950x3d and wasn't happy so now im going back to my threadripper w a couple upgrades... 2x4tb nvme and 1x2tb nvme and a rtx 5090. 64 full threads is just hard to beat.

new area prototype - crowds still alittle buggy. It works fine with clear weather but when it rains or snows the detection gets bugged and they stop thinking the droplets are cars etc. Have to work on it more. #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine #starcitizen #startrek #scifi #sciencefiction

Some extra goodies... new power supply for my new rtx 5090... picked up nzxt c1200 gold and 2x4tb nvme wd, a pcie nvme adapter and an internal nic with bigger cache than the one on motherboard #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine

Was having discussion w a game tester & he wanted me to put more R rated content in the game... more gore when shot w guns, more seductive hologram girls, he also suggested making more explicit npc encounters like what you have in cyberpunk. Thoughts? #starcitizen #startrek #gamedev #indiedev

And so it begins... Had to buy the 5090 in a motherboard bundle to get it... wasn't planning on building an Intel PC since I have an i9 13th and i9 14th in the test group but... #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine

My 5090 is enroute. Should have it in hands by this afternoon!!! #unrealengine #gamedev #indiedev #gamer #gaming #twitch #twitchstreamer

Worked on an instance manager - when players are far enough away from vegetation, etc it turns objects into instances so it saves perf & then if they go even further it unloads meshs & objects - works in multiplayer as well so its aware of all players & spheres of instance. An uplift of 275% perf

Working on the general elevator and door system that w be on most bases. Adding in sounds, vfx and of course programming a control panel #scifi #startrek #starcitizen #gamedev #indiedev #gameart #scifiart #sciencefiction #unrealengine

Decided to take a break and watch some Farscape and as I was watching can’t help but think this universe would make such a great story driven game. I picked up my phone and started jotting down ideas for missions for such a game. #farscape #scifi #sciencefiction #unrealengine #gamedev #indiedev

If you stream on twitch, heavy metal is looking to work with you. I stream but mostly stream about game development and game design w a side of actual gaming 😆

Taking a stroll around a new departure gate prototype map #unrealengine #gamedev #indiedev #gamer #gaming #science #scifi #startrek #starcitizen #twitch #twitchstreamer

Screenshots of one of the ships interior - working on the actual bed UI mechanism. Flight, cockpit and entry and dressing set is almost done Also have to work on hyperspace vfx #starcitizen #startrek #scifi #sciencefiction #gamedev #unrealengine #science #gamers #gaming #twitch

Current server farm running backend dbs, login and mesh instances of my sci-fi mmorpg game as well as render and build farm. #gamedev #indiedev #starcitizen #startrek #science #technology #scifi #unrealengine

Working on flight deck crews and putting some touches on the modular ship parts - adding in animations, exterior lights, adding in airlock sounds, and vent exhaust smoke, etc #starcitizen #startrek #scifi #sciencefiction #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine #mmorpg #gamer #gaming #twitchstreamer

My new gigabyte 5090 OC card just got shipped and will be here Thursday!!! So excited! #gamedev #indiedev #gamer #gaming #twitch #twitchstreamer #unrealengine

have 2xXEON Swarm Agent servers each with 32 cores 128gb ram 2080ti Putting them into slave mode for my machine to bounce off render and compile requests to. #unrealengine #gamedev #indiedev #gamer #gaming #twitch #twitchstreamer

Color Grading some of maps - It's crazy how much this process changes overall feel of game or video production. So far I have 4 star systems w average of 8-10 planets populated w various missions, bases, etc. #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine #gamer #gaming #scifi #sciencefiction #starcitizen

Working on some of the indigenous lifeforms found out in certain planets around one of the systems. Currently working on its motions and the creatures A.I. - Oh and I made a saliva blueprint 😆 #starcitizen #startrek #gaming #gamer #twitch #scifi #sciencefiction #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine

So I can pickup Rtx 4090 d from a source in china for $1800.00 - it’s the model they added 48gb. But I just purchased a Rtx 5090 for $2800 —- think I should return the 5090 and get the 4090 and save some money and get the larger vram for unreal engine and AI work on the 4090? #gamedev #indiedev

Screenshot of the nightclub dancers - have to work on hologram versions... and one of the cockpits for an interceptor class ship... definitely need to work on getting a cockpit kitbash or greebles for #blender or unreal #starcitizen #startrek #scifi #sciencefiction #unrealengine #tgamedev #indiedev

my wall of npcs is growing... been working on fleshing out npcs for crowds, store fronts, quest npcs etc today #starcitizen #startrek #scifi #sciencefiction #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine #science #gamer #gaming #twitch #twitchstreamer

So I’m purging this whole week hardware that I don’t use in my company. Servers, hds, old video cards, boxes of old cat 5 wiring and cabling, Drobo’s, old synology nas devices. We have way too much stuff just collecting dust. If you are a nonprofit and can use some hardware send a dm.

Been working on character creator for my #scifi mmorpg and I can see why #starcitizen doesn't let you deform the actual character body and stays w basically the skin tone, hair and face. Applying body morphs to body affects everything from matching morphs to all in-game clothing etc. #gamedev

Enjoy getting back from my vacation and jumping back into #gamedev Helped 2 #unity developers today and jumped into discord dms to help 3 separate #unrealengine asset developers w some bugs w their assets... even found time to work a bit on my train system for my #sci-fi mmorpg. #indiedev
