Looks like a pretty fair split
And we appreciate the transparency ๐Ÿ’…

i get accused of being transactional when my intentions are just being friendly

i want to scratch their back ya know? so it goes both ways i guess

indie pro tip; make your vertical slice the demo of the game

The secret is to manually do all of your Navigation Events

Use popups for UX flow

Or use common UI which makes the latter 2 easier

I imagine through time we'll discover a 5.x that is stable, and i'm hoping it's 5.4.4 this time (for real edition)

01.03.2026 20:21 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Since im never going to ship an indie game with nanite or lumen, the other appeals of 5 aren't worth the development hitch (Also literal hitches heh)

our 5.4.4 upgrade basically paused dev for 2-3 weeks to get everyone online again

Every game i make i de-scope ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

GearGrit is on 5.4.4 now bc 5.1 had a Skeletal mesh bug causing Follower Pose Components to always be 1 frame behind

That kinda stuff just keeps cropping up in 5.x releases;
Bugs that usually dont get uncovered until later

I foolishly started geargrit on 5.1 and im stuck here
If i had only started it on 4.27 i'd still be there..

I think the path of every tech artist is like

Excitement for new tech
Learns new technologies
Realization that the new tech is way too expensive
Oh god its so expensive, everything
Trying to reduce as much as possible
Vows to never use new tech again
Installs Godot

something like that

Probably because they enabled the big green demo button and have no other buttons ๐Ÿ˜”

If your demo has its own page it can have reviews

real life evolution also saw Quadruped -> Bipedal evolution too
dinosaur era animals are linked to be the ancestor of many species alive today, lots of which were quadruped prior

Yeah 2.8 really unleashed Blender into the bigger creative world

And yet we have 2.78 and 2.49 purists out there who say the UI change was bad... lol

Linux fanboys arent real linux fans

linux has its use as the best os for server applications. Extremely lightweight environments.

but really what kills desktop linux is software support. every time.
its not some big conspiracy... its just the linux catch-22
