allright my VR gamedev lackeys! apologies for the lack of postings lately. i have been a bit discouraged by the layoffs caused by 'line must go up' mentality, but i've also been sidetracked on a different mixed reality project for the Devpost sponsored Meta XR game jam that i will likely write a whole new series of articles on, since Meta's XR system is, shall we say 'different' than what i'd gotten used to with Unity's XRI Toolkit and required quite a bit of guesswork and experimentation to get similar results. anyway, let's keep going on the escape room, shall we? this one's just scratching the surface with a Game Manager of sorts but we'll get into how this plays into turning on the power in our scene in the next one! #madewithunity #unity #gamedev #gamedevhq #vr #xr

Super excited to share my new PCG Extended Toolkit for Unreal with the tech art community! Explore it here: https://lnkd.in/ejsgt-Mg Released under the MIT license, it's completely free and always will be! I've started working on this C++ plugin for PCG since last fall, unlocking a wide range of possibilities. It focuses on graph creation and establishing relationships between points, featuring extensive pathfinding tools and numerous utility nodes for attribute remapping, complex sorting, partitioning, and so. much. more. There's also a work-in-progress example project: https://lnkd.in/e8VrBzx7. There's still plenty to refine & documentation to write, but I wanted to share it in its current state. I believe my fellow tech artists will have some interest in this toolkit (especially if you come from Houdini) 😀 #unreal #pcg #gamedev #tool #opensource #techart #innovation #procgen #pathfinding #plugin

edit/ people have chosen -- it'll be fully remote 👍 /edit if anyone's in #Bucharest june-jul, I'm doing a 4-week intensive #gamedev #course for #Unity3d for #free. there's a discord link here: https://rockstart.ai I'll also stream it and will be available online. I worked on it for the past 6 months (and on the idea for 2 years) why: I want to experience a teacher's perspective, because I intend to later create a platform where free in-person courses like this will be the norm. this is not a partial or 'cheap' quality course requirements: laptop and some coding knowledge slots filled: 6/20 edit/ slots filled: 20/20 (but probably not all of you will show up, so don't get discouraged from applying!) /edit please share with your network! :)

yo my VR gamedev homies (in my case that's literal since i'm posting from home)! time for another article. this one's starting to dive into actions relating to the second goal of the escape room - that of turning the power on. here i'm detailing what has to be dealt with to manage this feat. enjoy! #madewithunity #unity #gamedev #gamedevhq #vr #xr

Happy Thursday! I'm trying to learn UnReal 5.4 and now I'm stuck on growing grass in my woodland scene. Seems there was change from 4.1, so I need to re-learn a new way. Today's article is more on script/ procedure driven game play. We've discussed story before. Here we crafted a C# solution. #unity3d #unitydevelopment
