This is the sixth article in my UE Gameplay Cameras developer (GPC) diary. Last week I wrote about one of the first decisions I had to make when I started this work, but I realized I could write about the very first decision I had to make: the decision to start making a camera system […]
This is the fifth article in my GPC developer diary. Gameplay Cameras (GPC) is a camera system for UE5 that started shipping with the engine as part of version 5.5, but is still in its “experimental” phase. We plan to have it in “beta” with 5.6, and “production ready” with 5.7 or 5.8 depending on […]

This week let’s pick up on something I alluded to last time, which is “parameter pre-blending”. As always, everything I’m showing here is work-in-progress, scheduled to ship in […]

In UE 5.5, you have the Camera Asset which contains the Camera Director, the Shared Transitions, and a list of Camera Rigs that […]
Numenera is a science-fantasy game set in the far, far, far distant future, with some lightweight and somewhat original system, all written by Monte Cook.

British Columbia is such a hippie granola-eating place that we have a ton of “free range” parents who don’t vaccinate their kids (for entirely different reasons than the right-wing antivax crowd) Enough to have an even lower vaccination rate than Gaines County, Texas. WTF.
