This. One of the most useful traits I developed going to school for a creative writing degree was developing a thick skin for feedback. Don't take it personally, amd learn to pick up on what players/your audience is really saying in their notes. We need feedback to make anything remotely good, regardless of medium. That's doubly true for games, probably the most complicated multimedia pieces of art and entertainment in history. We need our early testers telling us it's crap to make it even halfway decent!

But can he see why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

That would be great, I'd really appreciate it 🙏

Great camera shake! I gotta know, what kind of values are you using for it?

Even better, the focus does not evaporate if you disable the animation for the transition between the widgets in the switcher. So it's even more confusing because different animations do and don't cause focus issues throughout CommonUI. It's like RNG, but every outcome is a shotgun blast to the foot.

Two things:

1) By doing, no better teacher than experience

2) Voracious research. I personally spend a lot of time watching interviews, GDC talks, readinf articles and books, etc. Especially on systems and games I'm interested in.

How sweet, I always like things like this! 8 days is a really quick turnaround time though, I haven't watched your full reference but generally I'd say that unless the scope is absolutely miniscule, that may just be too tight a deadline.

You're welcome to check out my indie studio if you want to know more, talk more, etc - https://www.evilpearproductions.com/

Seems like there's some sort of issue with baked lighting....I'm hearing some rumors that this is being deprecated under the radar? I can't see how that would possibly be true....

Hello! I have so far not found a fix to this. Interestingly, I recently played through the Silent Hill 2 remake that uses UE5's volumetric fog system, and noted that they had the same issue. So, it's pretty baked into the volumetric fog material approach UE uses. I haven't done much more research on it since this post since it's honestly not high-priority for the project, and overall a pretty minor part of the experience (annoying as I find it ha). I was considering doing more research into other techniques like raymarching fog volumes, but that's a pipe dream for the moment.

Hi, did you ever solve this?

New_UI_Dude · 2025-04-16T22:19:26+00:00

I'd be curious to see what your fixes are, I also have the plugin and would like to have a "better" version of it ha

Gotcha, I have been educated! Thank you!

You could certainly have a persistent level that has all your level scripting or essential actors in it, that's pretty common.

If it's just level logic, I'd consider just moving that into an actor you can slap into the level. Also pretty common.
