It's been 4 weeks since we got laid off, so we built our own studio from scratch and we've got a teaser out for our game Bay 23! Link below:

Our cook-to-Steam pipeline in BuildGraph and the details that make one script reusable across projects.

Unreal Toolbox's Horde proxy buffers whole responses into memory and restarts itself every time the access token refreshes. With 30-second tokens and a 2.8 GB PDB, nothing ever completes. It’s a two line fix. #unrealengine #gamedev

QA tooling is absurdly expensive for what it does.
Qase is $20-30/seat. For a 10-person studio that's $300/mo+ for a tool not built for games.
So I built Ludovite, purpose-built for game studios. Free tier, no credit card required. Paid from $49/mo flat.

Sick of cert submissions bouncing because something slipped through?
I built a free Xbox cert checklist - 172 steps from the official GDK v16.1 spec, with time estimates so you know exactly how long the pass will take.

Had a pretty close encounter with a glider at 3,000ft today. Everyone was safe.
Practicing critical speed manouvers in the C42 over Brighton today.

I've started learning to fly, apparently starting a plane isn't as simple as pressing a button 😂

Going to take me a little time to get used to chokes being used on carbs!
I only managed to bring my phone with me on this trip - somehow I forgot the battery for my camera. I think I may just leave it at home next time 😂

I started recording and posting videos a year ago after a long hiatus and surprisingly hit 2000 subscribers over the last week.
Super surprised it's getting that much attention 😄
