- Friday was dedicated to MetaSounds because there was no electricity for 18 hours, tomorrow the schedule is not encouraging, there will be no 20 hours. So I'm postponing the visual part of the game again, so I'll show something from the past #gamedev #gaming #scifi
- A black hole that sucks in and a staircase that hides the truth
- I love this texture, Area 51, I have it for experimenting with Unreal Engine materials. Here I generate a normal map, add cells, a lot of metal and it looks like a tin can. This is for the apocalypse setting, food, etc. #gamedev #UnrealEngine #UE5
- There's been no electricity all day, so at times like these, Unreal Engine is for me in the context of MetaSound to stretch the charge of my laptop and charging station. I've made a dozen patches. I want to show how Ring Modulator works #gamedev #UnrealEngine #UE5Study #UE5
- I decided it was time to create a playlist dedicated to the user interface in my secret place channel. This is full video of experiments on curving part of the interface #gamedev #indiedev #UnrealEngine #UE5 www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8Ln...
- Wednesday, Unreal Engine, ☕️ coffee. The first cup of coffee during experiments with material for widget, creating UV for the user interface elements, so that some had curvature. Maybe when I try different options, I'll realize that I don't need it #UnrealEngine #UE5 #gamedev #indiedev
- I decided that even in the demo there would be a little bit gameplay of freeze, cold, coolness, like we have in reality in Ukraine now. This has already become a rule in my game development, to transfer reality into the game, even if it's on the Moon, sci-fi adventure
- More than once I showed various examples of Unreal Engine materials, Vector To Radial Value node. So I used it in frost. Then I will show the code, it can be called a pattern for frozen glass #UnrealEngine #UE5 #gamedev
- I finally got to the stage where I started practicing optimization. I made several variants and even interesting patterns for UV, which I will show later in separate "learn stuff" videos. The summary of this video is obvious, refraction and transparency eat like a big whale. So I had to turn it off
- I am experimenting with Unreal Engine MetaSound, I call this patch a PowerVolts 🔊
- Monday, here's little bit Unreal Engine for you. This is the second part of the lightning 3d billboard material (example in previous posts). Or you can see it on my secret channel www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgUn... #UnrealEngine #UE5 #GameDevLife #gamedev #indiedev
- My first prototype of the cooling system and post-processing of the freeze that I made today. This scene has been waiting for a long time for the final gameplay idea for the perimeter around a simple puzzle. I didn't know what exactly to come up with and as always the idea comes from reality (1/2)
- Sunday, morning, coffee, Unreal Engine. One part of this material is to make the texture more contrasty. I once accidentally made the contrast through an inversion node InvLerp. CheapContrast also suitable #UnrealEngine #UE5 #gamedev
- My nightly Unreal Engine Material, between Saturday and Sunday. Maybe I'll even show some of the main parts of the code. Shouldn't I? I'm going to sleep and I hope for WOW reposts #gamedev #UnrealEngine #UE5 #indiedev

- I first made a Niagara, there were a lot of particles, and then I remembered that I know the Kung Fu of creating Unreal Engine materials, so I redid this effect, there is no Niagara here, just a simple Plane
- Stranger Things to you this Saturday from the Unreal Engine sorcerer. I'm Max and I've been listening to Kate Bush every day >20 years. I'm hiding a lot from you because I'm an introvert who doesn't yet see the reaction that will be a wave of * #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #UE5 #scifi #gaming

- I don't know what to call it, I just played some Unreal Engine material for you over dinner. I'm one of those game devs who works all the time except when they're sleeping and pooping #UnrealEngine #UE5 #gamedev
- Friday, I started writing the code for loading scenes. Maybe this is not a completely standard solution, but I have an architecture: between locations there can be an intermediate scene that is the same. These are just test scenes, just to show an Blueprint example #UnrealEngine #gamedev #UE5
- Not long ago, my 12-year-old son and I started learning Python. He wrote a code that prints a Pac-Man image to the console in symbols. I tell him: can you create that in Unreal Engine material? He surprised me again. My little genius #PacMan #UnrealEngine #UE5 #gamedev
- Thursday, I'm trying to create an energy effect for wirelessly charging a robot. What you see here is a completely different vfx, it's where it all started. At first I thought it would be Unreal Engine Niagara, but then I remembered that I'm a genius #gamedev #UnrealEngine #UE5
- 2 weeks ago I did this post-processing, I liked it, now I look at it, and see flaws. It's always like that when I create something, the first few days WOW, and then OK, and then - I don't like something, some more time passes and you start to think that it's complete bullshit #gamedev
- Curved UV for widget, or curved screen, or whatever it's called. I'll show it from another side a little bit. This is a classic Unreal Engine material example of a sci-fi user interface #gamedev #UnrealEngine #UE5
- When I don't have electricity, I have enough energy to experiment on my laptop, where I only have Unreal Engine for MetaSound right now. So, I made a Beep Patch #UnrealEngine #UE5 #gamedev #sound #indiedev
- Wednesday, morning, coffee, Unreal Engine material, BumpOffset node, again! #UnrealEngine #UE5 #gamedev
- I love game dev because it is here, in this place, that programming ideas can be seen, for example, the shape is a 3D object, to take position the particle looks for collisions in the center #UnrealEngine #gamedev
- This is the first part of the checkpoint gameplay. Scanning the robot's body to detect some things and then adjusting and fixing it #scifi #gaming #indiegame #gamedev
- Almost 20 years have passed since the first episode of the series Heroes. I can't believe this. Sometimes I feel like someone has stolen my time. Masi Oka (Hiro Nakamura), Zachary Quinto (Sylar), Milo Ventimiglia (Peter Petrelli)... I look at them and try to remember the past
- In a week I made a prototype of a scene that will be in the game as a checkpoint, meaning the player will see it often. There will be a lot actions here. This is a multitool system for robots. Can I already be called a level designer and an entry-level 3D artist?
- BumpOffset node, one of the variants for making a volume from 2D in Unreal Engine material. A small movement, a changed texture for the bump offset height, all this as UV for a other texture, magic #UnrealEngine #UE5 #gamedev
- Sunday. Decided to diversify your game dev feed a bit with Unreal Engine, show how to create a sound wave, but also in UE5 😜 What's in the MetaSounf Patch? Everything is simple there, details on my YouTube channel. I'm not a sound designer #gamedev #sound #indiedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCMm...
- Hello programs! Saturday. When stairs, or better yet, dynamic steps, can be a catapult. It's funny. This is my game dev bubble that keeps me from going crazy. I wish you inspiration
- For the 100th video on my YouTube channel, I decided to dedicate it to 3D modeling inside Unreal Engine 5. This is the first video of this length, 5 minutes. I like everything very fast and to the point, the CORE! #gamedev #indiedev #UnrealEngine #UE5 #d3d www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7iu...
- My 12 year old son saw me making Unreal Engine material for the scanner and suggested his ideas. One is really cool, simple and I already want to use it in other places. I called it - POWERSINE #UnrealEngine #UE5 #gamedev #indiedev
- MetaSound, Unreal Engine. A simple patch that gives lots of variations and ideas. There are other examples and more will be on my YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/@alienmax-re... #gamedev #UnrealEngine5 #UE5 #indiedev #UnrealEngine
