"Decimate the non-programming oriented Unreal talent pool" - that's about me. Anyway, this below is all Blueprinys-only 🤷‍♂️

i'm still gonna add visual scripting on my engine. perhaps get some unreal refugees?

"peter nod" search is not giving anymore GIF I want here

gotta download the gif using google. like an asshole

Thanks for filling the void

Looks pretty cool

Thank You 🙂

Blueprints is programming brother

not going anywhere for over 5 YEARS, and nothing is stopping you from using 5.8 forever...

you mean nothing is stopping us using UE 4.27 😏

Godot or something will come and snipe the important parts of this engine... I'm sick of defending them, they're full slop now.

Very cool

Let me introduce my blueprint pilled gameplay. Took a long time but I still can't code C++ to save my life, so this was only possible thanks to blueprints😅

This looks amazing, it's the kind of game I like.

Thank You 🌞

I've wanted to make a game like this for a long time myself, even that Elite-style radar was in my plans. Do you happen to have tutorials and whatnot that teaches some of what you accomplished here?

I had a zero experience of any kind of gamedev, but I accidentally found Unreal Engine (in its golden UE4 times), started to "poke it with a pointy stick", and this is what I came up with. Now I am "paused" in this. Check my Twitter header for links.

So it's learn to code or stop using UE. Hmm.

if blueprints make things accessible to everyone and Ai also makes things accessible to everyone are blueprints also slop that have contributed to the mryiad of unoptomized UE5 titles?

in a way, yes - but BP slop is made without super waste of computing power / electricity / cooling water, as it is in LLMs case 🤷‍♂️

you say that.... but I'm 99% sure unreals plan is to get everyone to be a vibe coder now.

素敵です！

Thank You! See my Twitter header if interested more info :)

Blueprints is programming and if you can write blueprints you can write code the logic is the same.

sorry you're missing the point slightly. "Can"? Most likely, yes. But, by force. Visual things feels natural for my kind of brain. I do not know technical name - "artistic brain"? command lines do not stick with me. Visuals do.

Maybe, cause I'm not saying to go use something with no gui, but have you tried using a code editor that highlights all the code nicely for you so it's easier to look at?

looks pretty sweet!

Hey, thanks 🌞

What game is this? I need it

Not exactly a "game", it is Unreal Engine "asset" made by me, almost a game template, but not quite. If you have UE installed (preferably UE 4.27) and get this asset (link below), you can immediately play ("play-in-editor") demo levels that are included, and edit as you want.

Blueprints is just programming but with a less expressive interface.

Explains a lot

Unlike your tweet 😁

Not epic, just progress. Blueprints are obsolete with coding agents.

Given how LLM coding in general has improved, this is the best decesion. And not even in the far future, a very fast approaching future. I can totally see, epic training a small LLM to assist in coding.

that's apples and oranges. Using BPs is your brain, common sense, logic usage. LLM usage is money. Maybe sometimes not put on end user, but costs are going on somewhere.

That's a very valid point. That's a amazing point. I will rethink my opinion on this. Thank you.

I love when constructive positive discussions happen, on Twitter or whereever. Respect.
