here's a good showcase of how the baked light base is already pretty nice but passing over it a bunch with just a basic ass round brush and a mouse can quickly elevate it & gives it more of that same vibe you find in original STALKER textures (theirs were photos with paint over on top)

WIP Makarov replacement for STALKER, mixture of baked light and hand paint. 100% static lighting as shown here started this in 2020 but never finished it. gonna have to get it rigged and ingame soon so i can test it in context

Since the Shoulder Check is functionally identical to the Kick, I found out you can use it to return projectiles 😅 The CheckTech is -deep- #gamedev #unity3d

Really enjoyed FlyKnight! Feels like a more casual take on that Lunacid/Shadow Tower formula. Perfect for a one-sitting co-op experience, requires enough engagement and strategy while still having room for goofing around. Short and sweet, hope there will be more at some point.

There's a lot of talk around in-engine tools for level design / modelling, and I've always wondered - has anyone experimented with a 'server' for this kind of thing? The concept being that the actual engine for manipulating geeometry is entirely agnostic to the 'client' sending the commands.

I don't know how feasible it'd be, but in theory It'd allow you to move from one engine to another while keeping the same tooling, in the worst case having to write a custom client for the engine. It's something I'm interested in prototyping myself, but does something like this exist?

He looks great of course, but that's not the point. Some people were destined for that "holding desperately on to your 80s head of hair" look

Unreal Gold and Unreal Tournament can now be downloaded for free, Epic Games just gave the OldUnreal folks permission to host installers for both games on their website. It'll install the games and the OldUnreal patches to make them run on modern systems without hassles.

As part of the enemy code rewrite, I've been working on a Behavior Tree system. Combined with our Timeline, it can be very versatile. These tools make complex behaviors a lot easier for us to manage, and will help modders create new enemy types. 1/X #screenshotsaturday

Selectors try to 'select' the first successful node - they run all their children top-to-bottom, until one Succeeds. Sequences try to run all their children in sequence - if one fails, the sequence stops and returns Fail. If we reach a Timeline node, we play that timeline! (e.g colored path) 4/X

These systems alone can represent very complex enemy behaviors, without having to write any custom code. They are also decoupled from the ULTRAKILL codebase, so in the long term we hope to make them widely available for others to use in Unity. Anyway! Thanks for reading! 🍅

This window is the Timeline Editor. Timelines have various 'tracks', allowing timed events to be synchronized. For example, if a hitbox needs to activate for part of an animation, we can use an Animation Track and Activation Track, and line them up, as seen below. 2/X

And this is the behavior tree - the brain of the enemy. To decide what an enemy should do next, we start on the left side of the tree, asking our root node (highlighted red) to run and give us a result. 3/X
