Gaming Industry Is Struggling. 🎮 These two posts really highlight the issue: Most game developers now aim to make games addictive, not fun or entertaining. That’s the problem.

🚨 1 Billion Users? Not So Fast. If we bring 1 billion users into Web3 today, we won’t just be scaling innovation—we’ll be feeding the scammers. 📉 2023 global scam losses: $1 TRILLION 💸 2023 Web3 scam losses: $30 BILLION 🔮 Projected by 2026 with 1B users: $150 BILLION in scam-related losses Before we scale, we need education. 📚 1. We Need Education Before Abstraction Simplifying the UX is great, but it’s not enough. People also need to be taught: 🔵 How to spot scams 🔵 Basics of cybersecurity 🔵 Ethics and values in digital spaces Web3 companies should allocate real budgets to educational initiatives—not just UX polish. I'm personally building an educational game that tackles scams through storytelling: 👉 https://www.mindattic.io/plankton But I can't do it alone—collaborators and support welcome.

Brackeys 2025 Game Jam has begun. I spent the last two weeks learning game development in Godot and this week I put those skills to the test! The plan right now is to make a game about an abandoned robot who adopts stray cats and strives to keep a perfectly clean house. But the cats make that very difficult.

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 🙃

"Ever try stuffing a gaming console into a file smaller then a cat meme?" 😹 As an experiment I created a podcast about my game Space Huggers using AI tools and this is the result! 👍 https://youtu.be/2JZR-erR9gg?si=RVub-Y_78EmyE8ZV

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. https://portal.productboard.com/epicgames/1-unreal-engine-public-roadmap/tabs/109-unreal-engine-5-5
