UI means user interface and UX means user exerface

Hey, you! Yes, you! That noun you should be verbing? Just verb the f*ckin' noun! Think about it. Tomorrow you can say, "Man... that noun? Glad I finally verbed that."

i really love how inscrutable the fucking Enter the Matrix launcher is...what is any of this shit. "allow gamma". "force object lod". force it to what. on? off? min? max? what is meant by w-buffer. what the fuck is Classical FPS

did a blog post of my Thoughts on the Actual State of Unreal in 2026, how it has come to this, etc etc. i've been an unreal user since 2008, and this is the worst the vibes have ever been. is there hope? perhaps www.joewintergreen.com/absolute-sta...

I love you, halflife.wad

I haven't sat down and worked on a model for a while. I'm still burned out and unmedicated so I only chipped away at this for a little bit, but I got the last of the more complicated organic shapes sorted out, I think. Nervous about merging the grip meshes together even though they're contiguous.

Cheap as shit junior coders starting to look real good, huh token bros

Hey all, what with the world being what it is, and with the company I work for continuing to drag its feet on giving us the raise we were meant to have 2 years ago, I could really use your help getting my friend out of a tight space before I move countries. gofund.me/294bc49c5

I have released my level scripting i/o system, it's called JoeIO and it works great for me and at work but it's early so be gentle and just holler if you come across any weirdness. An explanatory video is below www.joewintergreen.com/joeio-a-leve...

my level scripting i/o system "joeio" is nearly out, i made an example level with an elevator

this is way better than the other meme

got back to trying to finish this off so yall can give me money for it today. not quite there yet but added some new features: -disabling an output without deleting it, v useful for testing etc -"unlocking" an output so that you can type target/function names manually instead of choosing them

new blog post about: makin' it easier to integrate elaborate (or not) contextual character animation stuff into gameplay in @sleightofhand.game. Like all the best shit, this is not so much technically impressive as workflowily excellent. www.joewintergreen.com/contextual-a...

I wanted to redesign Scythe's texture alignment UI a little, so I asked Kronok to let me swap UI chunks out for my own editor utility widgets (or just drop them in the viewport). Here's what I got. The feature is coming in the next version, I'll put this out when it does

Punkins for mini project. Feels nice to have the art pipeline sorted

I contributed multiple in-universe movie posters for this, and I recommend playing.

I've just released the newest update to my Unreal Engine level editor called Scythe. Here's what's new... 🧵

Bugs, faith, and honey. Find out what happened to the moths. Chiaroscuro Imago, our narrative-driven horror game about murky secrets and stark realities, will be releasing on Steam come November 10th! Very exciting. You should probably wishlist it so you don't forget! Link below! 🔽🐝📞🍯

being in a chat of indie gamedevs talking about how to price their game feels like an intervention with a rotating target. everyone telling others to double their game price while halving their own

I must pay for a new mattress and doctor's appointments and bills... I can make you a great model for a game or a VTuber or anything else you might need! (and I can animate it too!) #lowpoly #3dart #commissions

#1 trending mod on Nexus, baby We beat off all the gooners

Yeah I mean, emotionally heathy people don't typically want to provide quote material for the engagement engine of a medium that's in perpetual culture wars full of children with too much time on their hands, the mentally ill, and grifters. What's the benefit? It's just stress Russian Roulette.

Because itch.io is by far the best store out there for game developers, and also players imo, and has been given a hard time lately, I just put my game InFlux Redux on there, and upped itch's rev share to 30%. I want 'em to have a little walkin' around money impromptu-games.itch.io/influx-redux

Big day today. Reached the final stage of production. New project reveal... TOMORROW!

Standard insertion for a non-standard specimen.

did you know: the major character in this game besides the ball is a whale animated by Jay Benson, who you might know from the first and last pages of The Final Hours Of Half-Life Alyx! if YOU found this piece of trivia sort of weird and left field, consider buying InFlux Redux

First human character model is going pretty well, I'd say! Spending some time goofing around with it.

Needs some last minute tweaks but almost done w high poly

I will learn character art if it kills me

The foray into organic art continues

Thought Experiment A company comes out with a 'Human Respawn' product via some crazy scifi quantum bullshit. They are doing a free promo, where you get a week of daily respawns. With each you remember every moment up to your death, but wake up fine the next day. What do you 'spend' the 7 days on?
