Did you already give the Choosers in Unreal a try? They can be really handy for choosing Animations - but also for non-anim assets 🔥
Let's check them out 👇

I wasn't very active lately - but if there is one tip I can give to anyone who gets started with unreal engine, then its learning what each class is meant to be used for.
I am talking about GameModes, GameStates, PlayerControllers and so on.
Ignoring that will make your game's architecture a nightmare to work on.
So dig into these and every dev you'll add to your project in the feature will thank you.

Are you testing your multiplayer game in unreal engine?
Make sure to also test conditions where not all clients are joining at the same time!
You can easily do that by enabling the "Allow late joining" feature 👇🔥

Unreal has a pretty neat built in way of using bitmasks in blueprints with just a few clicks.
This enables you to store & track multiple boolean-like states in a compact way.
And in the editor, its like a multi-select dropdown thanks to unreal enums 🙌

We've made Property History free & open source!
You can use it to quickly see the history of any property in Unreal

Every time I make a new plugin (especially editor ones) I feel like I outdid myself.
But this time I am 100% I've reached the peak of debugging experience improvements.
Here is a breakdown of the problem and how you can implement it in your project.

We game devs are all trying our best with the knowledge, skills, time, and tools available to us.
Unfortunately, sometimes that's not enough and our games are affected.
But knowledge goes a long way, and you can help by sharing this article with your team:

How can a company be so obsessed with attention to detail in their OS ...
... and yet so incredibly bad when it comes to the UX of appstoreconnect.
Really, its the worst.
It’s easy to dismiss Liquid Glass if you’re only looking at the surface.
But this shift has been a long time coming. We need dynamic, dimensional systems that scale across screens, platforms, and spatial environments.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking this is just a fresh coat of paint.
This is a foundational change toward that future.

It is super annoying that a blueprint object is not allowing you to use a lot of typical nodes, like delays, spawning an actor, accessing subsystems or calling functions of a blueprint function library.
This is how you can fix it 👇

When developing a game you eventually reach the point of wanting to translate it to other languages.
A few very helpful things I learned over the past years (the hard way) 👇

And whats even cooler: You can also make it return data. This way you can let your chooser, for example, output a float value that depends on the chosen animation, so you can use that value to drive some anim logic in your ABP.
