Meanwhile, #Nintendo killed yet another emulator... #emulation

They were doing it for years but slowly. Recently, they probably decided to clean up the market for the upcoming Switch 2 release and attacked almost every significant emulator out there, taking them down one by one.

Me, trying to get home from work faster #meme

You may be thinking, if there are #FlaxEngine, #O3DE, #Stride3D, #S2ENGINE, and literally dozens of others, where are games? I've tried a bunch of those engines today in a row: it's a minefield.

What common features are there, which aren't, what works and not — it's absolutely unpredictable.

Imagine, that things like the game settings are exceptionally limited; Project creation/deletion may not work from time to time; Or strict folders per file type, turning import process into an hour of guessing and testing.

That's the experience you don't want to have as #IndieDeveloper (there are already enough issues to fix).

Overall, making good #GameEngines isn't about pure technical features or a combination of those, it's how the app provides a meaningful workflow: proper groups of tasks + swiftly shifting between those groups.

Or, in case of the majority of modern engines, fails trying.

Compression intensifies #meme

Do you remember Reboot? The first fully 3D TV series that was nearly impossible during the first episode and absolutely outdated by the end of the show...

We haven't told you about the recent Unreal Engine 5.5 announcement, so here's the best part — Unreal Mega Lights.

— It's now possible to use thousands of dynamic lights in the scene with accurate soft shadows. It's called Mega Lights.
— Developers of high-end games will have the ability to utilize any shape and any texture of light not only for diffuse lighting (which was possible before), but for shadows and reflections too

This is exactly how my first renovation looked: me and my brother decided to do things ourselves... what could possibly go wrong?
