if someone wants to help on dev side, i have design done

Update with learning Unreal Engine:

Decided to buy more ram for my laptop, should arrive in the mail today. Instead of running the engine on a virtual machine, gonna dual boot Pop!_OS instead as it has built in support for Nvidia drivers.

Was mulling over just buying a new laptop, but gonna hold off on that. My current laptop is at least 3 yo, but it still works perfectly fine and is a pretty beefy machine. Don't want to upgrade unless I get super serious with UE dev. For now I'm just dipping my toes in the water.

Getting back into learning UE5 but recently found out that Epic moved their entire asset store to some platform called Fab. Problem is that I made my own build of UE5 since I'm a Linux user and Epic Games Launcher is not officially supported on Linux. Don't even remember how I manage to set up the build in the first place and have no clue how to install the Fab plug in from scratch.

Did manage to get the launcher working via a wine GUI but UE5 runs like crap on it and constantly crashes. Trying another GUI to see if it works any better.

Part of me wants to give up and just use UE5 on a Windows 10 VM. On the other hand screw Microsoft and their anti privacy BS, I would prefer not to go that route unless I absolutely can't figure this out.

I just wanna learn game dev bro, come ooooooonnnnn 🙃

As an experiment I created a podcast about my game Space Huggers using AI tools and this is the result! 👍

I see that the roadmap for Unreal Engine 5.5 has been released. Betas of several features have been officially implemented, and new features such as “Megalights” with unlimited lighting placement have been announced.

The new Voxel Plugin looks pretty good.

My website has a new theme! After having the same look for over 10 years it was due for a change. The new theme is a moded version of Rachana by WPKoi. It auto adjusts layout for mobile. There's a little dweet easter egg if you scroll to the bottom! 😁👍

My original game Birdfood is now on Newgrounds, support it here: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/946533

Took a while to bootstrap it, but finally managed to get Unreal Engine 5 up and running on Linux.

Time to start doing some tutorials!

Happy to share that my original game "Birdfood" was featured on Phaser.io and in the Phaser World and GameDev.js newsletters! They also wrote a nice article about it here: https://phaser.io/news/2024/08/birdfood

Wallet connect and wallet abstraction + reading the amount of NFTs from the contract.

That was another issue driving me nuts, but we got there! It's time to connect all these parts. 🚀

the thing is so Annoying me is the “ design” part
I hate to design the characters (frames and etc)
But when we reach the code part it’s fine.I mean it. It’s really fine.
P.s. the picture is made by ai and it’s not my design
any way when we have some one to design it’s easy 🫡
