Island map progressing along nicely in engine. 🏝️👀 Lots of optimizations here. Hitting 140+ frames per second on a mid-tier machine. Custom surface textures going in next. After that we'll stack on the character controller, weapons, UI, VFX, SFX and battle modes we've got built out. Getting closer each... show more

⚽ Day 45 of building my football/soccer game solo in Unreal Engine 5. Tonight, I gave all players in the database a permanent identity and a visible skin complexion to go along with it. 🧬 Players are beginning to look unique from one another. 🎨 Hair styles and hair colors are next on the road map, then facial hair, then other attributes like height and facial morphs. 🌍 9 regional profiles were created on a global distribution, each containing a continuous range of skin color swatches rather than a fixed number of color swatches. No two players should share the exact same skin tone. 🧠 My c++ code already generates hair, eye color, height and other appearance elements per Player ID. These aren't wired to the visible character meshes yet. 🌐 I built the architecture so during online play, both machines generate the identical squad locally. 🛠️ Mod-ready: Roster packs and appearance packs can ship separately with community support #indiedev #gamedev #soccer #football #unrealengine

It has been about 45 days since I was laid off at my 6 figure gamedev/engineering job. Here's what I've accomplished since going full time indie gamedev. - Happiness is at all time highs.. The creative excitement I've felt everyday has been amazing! For about 15 days I kind of dabbled around different areas to figure out what I wanted to work on and sink myself into. - I dabbled with VFX authoring in Three.js - I built the basis of an MMO engine in Rust Language and rendered it in Three.js I then decided I wanted to focus on something realistic and get a game out the door that could turn me from wanting to be a full time indie gamedev, to actually doing it, because realistically none of those projects are going to make me a living. I settled on building a Roblox game because I felt I like I could make something pretty unique and cool with a built in userbase. I chose roblox because it has a good platform of discovery for new games, which I think is pretty crucial for indie devs. - I then ported Plume my threejs library for Niagra like VFX to Roblox. - completed the full gameloop for my roblox game. What's featured in the video - Several menu types for kind of figuring out the direction and some placeholder menus - Cross server guilds/parties/queing - Itemization - Loot Tables - Inventory - Character Equipment - Item Upgrading/Leveling - Some interaction polishing - 1 Completed class with actions, unique boss drops, vfx/sfx - Boss State Machines / Encounter Systems - 1 Boss encounter - Everything is server authorative to prevent cheating. - Sound system Over the next 45 days my focus is on finish the last of the systems that will make up the game(solo quest/mission(story) content, monster codex, move raid board/social from the isolated menu you see in the video to the newer full screen menus, leaderboards. Once those systems are complete it will be time to then focus on just creating content so hopefully a few of you out there will come join and play! If any of this looks interesting or you want to follow the journey of trying to make it as a solo indie developer, follow along! #gamedev #indiedev #robloxdev

Kimmy Kimm narrates how her entire a6ult indu$try career started after a performer randomly reached out to her on TikTok saying She drove to Miami same day and the VERY next day, She got into her very first scene which was a thr66søme that all6g6dly left her with a Cut down there. 👀🔥 “They put us in a stack, Basically just two girls laying on top of each other and the guy going back and forth between each girl and so he’s doing that and then I feel like a sharp pain and I’m like what’s happening, I scream a little bit but the guy filming was like what’s wrong? Cause I screamed and I was like something just really hurt and the guy was like oh I just slip on some lu6e and I was like omg and I didn’t even wanna look down there but I knew that something was wrong because I just kept on going and it hurt more than anything I’ve ever felt in my life so I clean up and go home.”

NEW: A Local Resident Who Physically Went Out To Lahaina To Help Victims Of The Maui, Hawaii Fires Tells Her Story, It’s Not Good She recorded this the day after going: “Insulin was boated in and it got turned away from FEMA on the shoreline” “So I went out to Lahaina yesterday and I thought that I should just update the world on what FEMA is doing or what's going on because I just saw that they posted a website to defend themselves against the rumors. But I went out to Lahaina yesterday to help and talked to OneMaidHub from a Native Hawaiian and they got insulin from a private sector. ‌ Obviously we are not getting any help from the government or anyone at all. So they were getting insulin boated in and it got turned away from FEMA on the shoreline. So they turned away that and then this, which that was one or two days ago because the hub literally told us that. They were like, we don't even know what's going on or why they're turning things away. Cause it's not like they're getting us stuff and then also found out that we need storage containers and FEMA turned away 60 of them just yesterday as well, or the day before. And we need those things because there's supposed to be more hurricanes coming. ‌ So I don't know what's going on, but I thought I should share so you guys know what's going on from someone who is here and also going to Lahaina and seeing all of this with my own eyes and hearing it from people that are over there with the hubs and-like living over there and managing all of this because I'm like, I don't know what they're doing, but it's not a lot besides turning away supplies.

Shane van Gisbergen keeping it light talking about his matchup with Ryan Preece in the first round of the In-Season Challenge "I see he's been getting pretty lippy online, so that's a bit of fun. We were giving each other shit the other day from Pocono when he was throwing signs at me and stuff. But he's a good dude. "We had a little tussle last week, he kind of pulled a shitty move on me and half-spun me so I got him back. But yeah, I look forward to it. It's cool that there's something else to focus on, and he's been going really well on his road courses this year. "I'm sure I'll see him on Sunday, and it'll be a tough but fair battle and we'll see who gets to the next round. I look forward to it."

Mid journey unveils the future of medical scanning: "Less than a dozen of these machines operating together at full speed can do more full body scans than every MRI machine together on Earth. Our goal is to build a fleet of 50,000 of these scanners, capable together of doing a billion scans a month—enough to bring full body imaging to everyone on Earth." Using thousands of specialized transducers, this prototype system shoots ultra-precise sound waves through the body at over 1,400 meters per second. As these sonic vibrations echo back, they are captured in data streams of 17 gigabytes per second, measuring changes finer than the width of an atom. A massive 2-petaflop compute ring then merges these thousands of sub-images to map out a highly detailed, 3D internal anatomy of organs and tissues in just 60 seconds. "This is a new kind of infrastructure. It’s Full Body Ultrasonic Computational Tomography. No such device has ever been built until now, and yeah, we’re calling it the Midjourney Scanner." My favorite quote from David, was that they want this to be a feel like a genuinely “nice” experience, not a “going to the doctor experience” they’re going to put these inside mid journey spas!

She will face a significant period of time in prison and I can guarantee you she's going to wish she NEVER left the Dominican Republic!" 🔥 "They would go to an ATM, take out $1,000 a day on each of 12 cards where they took the identities of other people and they would take out...they got them up to about $600,000 that they pulled out in cash."

After 1,000,000+ engineering hours, we're ready to give an update on what we've been making and how. Construction is the largest, least productive industry on Earth, and it’s starting to affect housing. We're here to fix that. Thesis: We can build quality homes — any type — faster and cheaper than most of the industry through industrialization. Here's how: Construction's biggest problem is logistics: getting the right materials, people, and information in the right place at the right time. So we invented a new type of manufacturing, Mobile Micro-Factories — small, modular, local factories that make and prepare every part of a home, then deliver it in stages, last-mile, to the site ready to assemble with non-specialized labor. We’re built to scale fast — we can quickly copy our factories into hundreds of markets worldwide. This is a really hard problem to solve; we're going to get there. We'll walk through the nuances in more detail over the next few weeks. Full film dropping soon.

I've been spending more time with Bezi to see how far I can push vibe coding a game on the Unity Editor. So far, I'm pretty happy with what I can achieve with Bezi. Here are some learnings: - Even though I use Bezi to do all agentic coding, I still have to perform a few small manual tasks in the Unity Editor - As a result, I feel like I am getting a hang of Unity's complex and clunky UI, which actually feels good! - This is one of those examples where Vibe Coding is a great way to learn game dev. - For big features, I can't state the importance of asking the agent to create a plan first before implementing the feature. It can work wonders. Most of the bigger features/ssytems starts with a clear plan. - The biggest strength about working with Unity Engine is the Unity Asset Store, there's so much good stuff in there, 3D assets, shaders, vfx etc that can really spice up your game, that other game enginers will need to build from scratch. - Because Unity Assets Stores sell UI assets packs, I was able to implement decent looking UI fairly quickly. For those of you that vibe code games, you know how much of a pain it is to implement UI. - I did meet a few hiccups along the way where Bezi seems to struggle a little with implementing some features, but usually with some retries it works out at the end, though it burns a ton of tokens. After spending more time with Bezi, I'm still feeling good about using it. I am able to get this PvZ style autobattler working in a few days!

Robert Donat and Madeleine Carroll had never met before the first day of filming of Alfred Hitchcock's "The 39 Steps" (1935). They were handcuffed together on the first morning immediately after being introduced for a scene. When the scene was filmed, Hitchcock had lost the keys to the handcuffs. For nearly an hour, while a hunt for the "missing" key was going on, Donat and Carroll were talking about their lives & exchanged experiences. After Hitchcock noticed that they were getting along well, he took out the "missing" key from his pocket, released them from the cuffs and said with a grin on his face, "Now that you two know each other we can go ahead." "We had never met before our making of 'The 39 Steps' together ('together-' is a particularly suitable word here.) On our first morning at the studio, immediately after being introduced, we were shackled in a pair of handcuffs, each having one hand imprisoned, and commenced to act a scene. Such a start was not exactly helpful in establishing relations, we thought, and these feelings were not lessened when, at the conclusion of the scene 'Hitch' lost the key of the handcuffs! For nearly an hour Madeleine and I shared this enforced companionship, while the hunt for the key of the handcuffs was sustained. There was nothing else to do, so we talked of our mutual friends, of our ambitions, and of film matters generally. Gradually our reserve thawed as we exchanged experiences. When Hitch saw that we were getting along famously, he extracted the 'missing' key from his waistcoat pocket, released us, and said, with a satisfied grin, 'Now that you two know each other we can go ahead.'" ("Mr. Chips: The Life of Robert Donat", Kenneth Barrow, 1985) P.S: On this day, 91 years ago, "The 39 Steps" (1935) premiered in London, UK.

Sam Altman says the AI infrastructure race is not about bigger chatbots. It is about shifting the planet's intellectual output from human brains to AI brains. "If people knew what we could do with compute, they would want way, way more." "The thing I am personally most excited about is to use AI and lots of compute to discover new science." "A recent cool example here is we built the Sora Android app using Codex... in less than a month." "You can imagine that way much further, where entire companies can build their products using lots of compute." Then he gives the scale: "Let's say that an AI company today might be generating something on the order of 10 trillion tokens a day out of frontier models." "We're going to have these models at a company be outputting more tokens per day than all of humanity put together, and then 10 times that, and then 100 times that." The bottleneck is moving from software talent to compute supply, inference speed, product integration, and where all that machine intelligence gets pointed.

Sam Altman says the AI infrastructure race is not about bigger chatbots. It is about shifting the planet's intellectual output from human brains to AI brains. "If people knew what we could do with compute, they would want way, way more." "The thing I am personally most excited about is to use AI and lots of compute to discover new science." "A recent cool example here is we built the Sora Android app using Codex... in less than a month." "You can imagine that way much further, where entire companies can build their products using lots of compute."

Costume designer Michael Wilkinson describes changes being made to an earlier version of Henry Cavill's Superman suit after a camera test behind the scenes of Zack Snyder's Man of Steel. "So what we're looking at here is the Superman suit from the second camera test. And the notes we got back from that we're going to make a few adjustments for our next camera test. "We decided that we didn't like this central shape so we've cut that out. We've made a few adjustments to these lines here to act like the idea that it had a more geometric, slightly harder, stronger line through here, a little bit like the cut lines of the human anatomy. "We're making our buckle a little bit bigger. And in general we're just adjusting the thickness of a lot of these pieces so it really feels like they're more integrated with the suit that they just sort of are like almost like an embossing. "And with just some general R&D work that we're doing with the way that the cape attaches to the suit, there's a lot going on here. "You're trying to make something beautiful and sculptural disappear into an impossibly thin membrane here and make it all look as beautiful as possible because we're going to be really close up for a lot of the movies so we're spending a lot of time and resources in getting that right. "It definitely pays respect to the classical details of the Superman costume but we're rendering it in a very high-tech current kind of a process."

During the snowstorm that is sweeping through the U.S. right now, the safest vehicle you can be in is in a Tesla with FSD bc it can react faster than any human or gas car. An electric motors respond in milliseconds. When a wheel starts to slip on snow or ice, Tesla’s sensors detect it up to 1,000 times per second, and the computer instantly cuts or redistributes power to the wheels with grip. On the other hand, gas cars have major delay and don’t have this capability… That means if your Tesla hits a tiny patch of ice, the car corrects it right away, even before you even feel it, almost like the car is thinking ahead. If you don’t believe me listen to the man that built it. Joe: “What happens if you get sideways in the snow? Like, does it correct for that?” Elon: “Yeah. Electric cars have really great traction control because the reaction time is so fast. So, with a gasoline car, you’ve got a lot of latency. It takes a while for the engine to react, but for electric motors, incredibly precise…. But to an electric motor, it’s operating at the millisecond level. So, it can turn on and off traction within, like, inches of getting on… let’s say, you’re driving on a patch of ice, it will turn traction off, and then turn it on a couple inches right after the ice, like a little patch of ice because in the frame of the electric motor, you’re moving incredibly slowly. You’re like a, you’re a snail. You’re just moving so slowly because it can see at a thousand frames a second. And so, it’s like, say ‘one Mississippi’, it just thought about things a thousand times.” Joe: “So, it has realized that your wheels are not getting traction. It understands there’s some slippery surface that you’re driving on.” Elon: “Yes.” Joe: “And it makes adjustments in real-time.” Elon: “Yes, in milliseconds.” Joe: “That would be so much safer than a regular car.” AKA, buy a Tesla if you want to be in the safest car in the world. 💯

FABLE 5 JUST REBUILT FORTNITE FROM 1 PROMPT IN 20 MINUTES. EPIC NEEDED HUNDREDS OF ENGINEERS AND 6 YEARS. The test was simple: Fable 5 vs GLM 5.2, one prompt each, a 100-player battle royale running in the browser with no engine and no team. GLM went first and checked all 8 milestones. The game loaded with a battle bus, a generated map, Tilted Towers, even health and shield bars ripped straight from 2018. Then it fell apart. 2 FPS on landing, S walking forward and W walking backward, a gun that fires upward and a camera that refuses to look up. First fight ended with the enemy standing above physically impossible to aim at. Then Fable 5 took the same prompt on max effort. Different game entirely. Real character models instead of beans, hit reactions lighting up on contact, a shadow tracking every player, movement that just works out of the box. One follow-up prompt “add more Fortnite elements” and it shipped gliders, chests, shield potions, medkits and a sniper without breaking a thing. Final circle at 3:28 AM. Storm closing, 0 bullets left, box to box with medkit spam and a last-second swap to the SMG. Victory Royale in a game an AI wrote from a single sentence. GLM checked more boxes. Fable built something you could actually play and no benchmark on earth measures that gap. Epic needed 6 years. Fable 5 needed 1 prompt.

WATCH: Jason Rantz on Seattle Red responding on 'CNN NewsNight' to a second ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis.... "ICE tonight went after someone in a targeted act b/c not only were they in this country illegally, but presumably there was also a crime that was committed. That ICE agent was attacked. This is not terrorizing the community. This is, in fact, precisely what it is that most people usually at this table has also conceded is kind of important where you don't want to just go around and randomly ask people for papers. You compare that to the gestapo, but now you're saying that going after someone who is a criminal, that somehow is hands off, we shouldn't be doing that. And that doesn't make a community safer by going after criminals." "And at the exact same time, we've got the ICE agent not only being attacked allegedly by this individual, but also two people in the neighborhood. Perhaps we should also take just a moment, pause and say, you shouldn't do that. That is wrong. That is a quick way to get injured yourself. We can separate out going after someone who is in this country illegally, who is going about their day, and trying to contribute to our society. Like, I don't think there's an appetite -- I don't have an appetite for that. But I do have an appetite for going after people who are committing crimes here. And this seems to be like the least controversial issue that we should be angry with."

🇺🇸 The U.S. fired more than 800 Tomahawk missiles in the Iran war, at $2.6 million apiece, and it takes nearly 4 years to replenish a single production run. Here is the full picture: -Nearly half of U.S. Patriot interceptors gone -Between 190-290 THAAD interceptors fired ($15.5 million each) -Up to 80% of long-range ground-launched precision missiles expended And the Pentagon is now scrambling to put the defense industry on wartime footing, with companies that make thermostats and electric bus drives suddenly being asked to manufacture missile components… The replacement timeline is the part nobody is talking about: 4-5 years per weapons system, and that is if everything goes perfectly, which it never does. A CSIS war game simulation found that in a U.S.-China conflict over Taiwan, the U.S. would run out of long-range anti-ship missiles in 3-7 days and air-to-surface missiles within a month. The Heritage Foundation found the same scenario leads to "systemic operational failure" by day 120. The Iran war is not going to deplete the U.S. to the point of losing, nobody is saying that, but it has revealed something that adversaries can see clearly: America burned through years of precision munitions stockpile in 6 weeks against a mid-tier military power. A country that can regenerate combat power quickly is dangerous to fight, a country that visibly cannot is one that invites aggression. China is watching, and they just launched their most extensive military drills around Taiwan in years. Source: CBC News
