GPU Skinning in #UnrealEngine immediately allocates vertex buffers for all LODs when using morphs.
Today I learned, that it is actually rather easy to allocate those buffers lazily (by modifying FSkeletalMeshObjectGPUSkin::InitMorphResources()). That way, skeletal mesh components that never take a big amount of screenspace can save a bit of VRAM.
We might be able to benefit form this in one of our projects, as many characters are never close to the camera.
Pretty happy right now that I added Gompl (my scripting tool) to Mops & Mobs, as it makes adding new interactions a breeze. In this case: when you interact with this pipe it executes code that asks for a wheel item in the inventory, if it doesn't exist it shows some dialog; if the item exists, remove it and activate (unhide) a wheel that can be used as a lever (which opens a barrier).

I just published my second The Art of Fauna newsletter to over 400 subscribers! 
I spent too much time making this little pigeon postmark and stamp, but I love them 
You can read the newsletter here:

So... I decided to rebase the project codebase.
The results of my work you can see here 
https://gitlab.com/xolatgames/birdy-wants-crisps
So as you can see - the work on the project is in full swing 
But while I "rebase" the source code of the project - it can't will be running!
Hey #GameDev neighbors! I like you just for being you, keep it up!
Your make-believe world is the place a lot of people need right now.
Impaling enemies, reaching high places, taking shortcuts, or just swinging around with style:
The Spirit Spear is a powerful and very versatile tool! 
Getting a little braver with how public I'm being about my release date. I've now set the Steam page to "Q4 2025."
That's better than "Coming Soon" I guess lol

Much more a philosophical thought experiment than a #gamedev concept, but it has been on my mind all day.
Some kind of Mincraft-style open world of enormous scale where you can slowly build monuments that are protected from vandalism but will very slowly degrade unless maintained.
And done in a custom game engine designed to be as future proof as possible, with data saved in a way that can be converted to newer game engines that can run on future hardware. That can be forked for preservation.
There are a ton of bundles and asset giveaways for #gamedev including #UnrealEngine, #GodotEngine, #Unity3d and even #Defold going on right now.
We gathered them all together into a single place.

Enemy object has just been growing more and more which I find fun to look in on, when it eventually gets some proper geometry and animations I can only imagine how large it will get. I am using #Beehave for the AI which is a great free addon for #godot .
