the people saying "it looks like AI" or "it looks like Unreal Engine 5" (the latter is not necessarily a bad thing, this is stupid gamer speak for "I'm tired of photorealistic PBR textures and Quixel Megascan trees") aren't literally making accusations, they're saying it looks busy and weird!!!!

I would have never found a lot of the free assets that are available on booth such as Silent's shaders, Quixel Megascans, Freesound, etc.
Puzzle creators can obfuscate relevant sources until the end if worried about mechanical spoilers. ex. "Calamity" By JustTemTem does this in a really fun way.

i dunno, i've been developing on Linux so using Vulkan shaders, not DX. the visual quality is great, at least in a photorealistic style using Quixel assets like trees and rocks.

tim sweeney is so out of touch and he's going to destroy epic. this shit is the final nail in the coffin.
as someone who uses unreal as a hobby i can't tell you how busted that shit has become over the last 18 months to 2 years. it started with them ripping out quixel which was amazing.

does the more kit-bashed quixel asset style of terrain feel less distinct these days?

And right now he is REALLY into AI and vibecoding as it seems, which is once again dictating the entire direction of the company.
Personally I’ve distrusted Epic for a while since I watched
them destroy Quixel from the inside; but especially for any devs that depend on UE it’s a disaster.

Started Control Resonant and it's funny that I haven't seen anyone [among those in the know] mention that it seems to harbor unused live-service elements.
You don't build a Nakama server for a game unless there are some online features coming.
Expeditions 2 maybe?

messing around with a different workflow today. I hand painted a shading/AO mask and then used it as input in quixel mixer. this would be an alternative to a like, sculpt and then bake down workflow

This was right after Adobe bought Allegorithmic, so my outlook was bleak. Epic pledging to keep Quixel Mixer free was genuinely hopeful, damn it.
They did honor that pledge to the end but also lmao they let Mixer die, so.

A few years ago, *checks calendar* okay so 7 years ago I was borderline fanboying for Epic to buy out Quixel, and compete with Valve's monopoly.
Everything they've done since then, everything that this dork has said, has made me regret ever believing them.

Epic Games have released a new "vibe coded" launcher for their store, because of course they have.

🧵(1/3) Extremely proud of this world commission I finished in July for @strasz.bsky.social
Everything was fully scratch modeled, and textured excluding the potted foliage being assembled from Quixel Megascans.
This is what human art made with care and passion looks like, support artists!
