Heya! I want to share something interesting today. The very first steps in creating this kinda "trippy" datamosh post-processing effect in the Unreal Engine. Which, as it turns out, is quite challenging to implement. (A huge thanks to Dima Karpukhin 😅)

We are underway with our next assignment, which is local split-screen multiplayer. I had thought there would be far more complex systems for creating a split-screen game, however, it turns out it is fairly easy when using the new input system with its built-in input manager. There was no need to set up any special coding for managing the two cameras separately, or a need to set up different render planes to render each camera to an individual render texture, just select the allow split-screen option and set up keys in the control map as joining actions. And enable the option to join the game via said actions. And then we have a split-screen multiplayer, well a very basic one, now we need to focus on the rest of the systems and mechanics that need to be added to the system. #srudentgamedev #indiegamedev #madewithunity

One of the latest models I prepared for the Beyond Skyrim: Valenwood 🙂 It was a very interesting experience that helped me understand the process of carving bones, as well as the general process of creating models for Skyrim.

Case: How to Assemble a Unity Development Team, or Networking Rules!  Part 2 🔥 The candidate selected for Lead Unity Developer role in the previous part successfully passed the probation period, and shortly after, the client once again returned to us for help with a new Unity developer, as it was time to expand the team. This time, we needed to find a strong middle developer with experience working in a team of developers (not just a solo player), who would be ready to quickly integrate into the work and pace of the startup. Let's not forget the key requirement for soft skills. Strategy: We decided to start specifically with publications on job sites, game dev channels, and Unity-specific channels in our favorite Telegram. The job description and project were very appealing (as any description our team works on 🤩 ). Needless to say, the number of responses exceeded a hundred within the first few days? In the end, there were many more, with quite a few responses coming in long after the vacancy was closed :) Fortunately, we are very experienced in high-speed filtering of a large stream of candidates (by the way, we have/will have a separate case on this). We interviewed 15 great candidates within a week, 9 of whom reached the founder's review, and 6 made it to the final interview with him. 🌐 Networking played a role again – the recruiter happened to get a lead on a candidate who wasn't actively looking but decided to try himself after reviewing the job description. The first pool of excellent candidates was gathered quickly, and he was the last in it. The founder was determined to close the vacancy quickly. And so it happened. Guess who got an offer an hour after the final interview? We managed to do it exactly in 2 weeks and 1 day – from receiving the request to the candidate accepting the offer. Impressive? Important! No favoritism was involved in this case! We just want to emphasize how great it is to have a large, active, and responsive network and how cool it can accelerate closures! Do you agree? Share your thoughts on this 😉

𝗖𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗖𝗩 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 Let’s focus on another crucial aspect of your job search: 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗖𝗩 that captures the attention of game industry recruiters. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗮 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗩 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀: Many juniors try to stand out with their CV by making it visually appealing and colorful, often using different formats or even creating them in Photoshop. However, this approach can be counterproductive for several reasons: ATS Systems: Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) often filter out CVs with complex formatting because they can’t read them properly. Accessibility: Recruiters with visual impairments may struggle to read visually complex CVs. Clarity: Important information can be hard to find in overly designed CVs. A simple and clear CV helps recruiters quickly gather the information they need about you, increasing your chances of moving to the next round. 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗖𝗩: 𝟭. 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗜𝘁 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿: • Use a clean, professional layout with standard fonts like Arial or Times New Roman. • Stick to a simple format that ATS systems can easily read. • Ensure the text is large enough for easy reading and has sufficient contrast against the background. 𝟮. 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲 𝗝𝗼𝗯-𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: • Only include information relevant to the job you’re applying for. • Highlight your skills and knowledge that align with the position. • Use keywords from the job description to help your CV get past ATS filters. 𝟯. 𝗧𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗼𝗿 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗖𝗩 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗘𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: • If you have time, create a unique CV for each job application. • If you’re short on time, at least create different versions for each field you’re applying to. 𝗔𝗱𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀: • 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱: Ensure your CV is free of grammatical errors and typos. • 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗜𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲: Aim for a one-page CV if possible, or two pages if you have extensive experience. Be concise and focus on the most relevant information. • 𝗖𝗩 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝘀: Some recruiters are open to reviewing CVs and offering feedback. Don’t hesitate to reach out and ask for a review if you have connections or contacts in the industry. • 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀: There are many online resources and templates available that can guide you in structuring a well-organized and professional CV. Use these tools to ensure your CV meets industry standards and presents your information clearly. Next Steps: In my next post, I will share tips on networking effectively in the game industry. 💬 If you have questions or are able to help, feel free to head to the comments. #GameIndustry #CareerAdvice #GameDev #CVTips #JobSearch #Specialization #Networking

𝗨𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗥𝗞 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸: 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹, 𝗥𝘂𝗹𝗲, 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 🎮✨ Some time ago at a game development conference, I met Piotr Cieślak, who gave a great lecture about the 𝗦𝗥𝗞 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 (compromising Skill, Rule, and Knowledge levels). He provided excellent examples of how it has been used in real life to change people's perception and behavior in problems such as solving the high rate of traffic incidents in Japan. These are the principles my colleagues and I have been using while working with FTUE, game progression, and complexity balance in games. I want to thank Piotr Cieślak and share some tips on creating richer, more immersive experiences that resonate with players on multiple levels 🚀: 1. 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹-𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 🕹️ At this level, players perform tasks intuitively without conscious thought, much like muscle memory. T͟i͟p͟s͟ ͟f͟o͟r͟ ͟I͟m͟p͟l͟e͟m͟e͟n͟t͟a͟t͟i͟o͟n͟: • Intuitive Controls: Design game controls that are easy to grasp, allowing players to develop automatic responses. • Repetition and Practice: Incorporate elements that encourage repetitive actions to build player proficiency.

𝗥𝘂𝗹𝗲-𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 📜 Players rely on established rules or guidelines to make decisions. T͟i͟p͟s͟ ͟f͟o͟r͟ ͟I͟m͟p͟l͟e͟m͟e͟n͟t͟a͟t͟i͟o͟n͟: • Clear Tutorials: Provide comprehensive instructions to help players understand game mechanics. • Consistent Feedback: Offer immediate feedback to reinforce the correct application of rules.

𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲-𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 🧠 Players face unfamiliar situations that require problem-solving and critical thinking. T͟i͟p͟s͟ ͟f͟o͟r͟ ͟I͟m͟p͟l͟e͟m͟e͟n͟t͟a͟t͟i͟o͟n͟: • Strategic Challenges: Introduce complex scenarios that encourage players to devise unique solutions. • Adaptive Gameplay: The game responds to player decisions, keeping the experience dynamic.

For my current scene, I had to choose between different types of wind, the Pivot Painter, Speedtree Game (.st9) or UE (.st). After several tests, the Speedtree UE (.st) seems the most interesting in terms of rendering/performance. There's still room for improvement, but the basis is there and already solid. I can't wait to work on the other planned biomes! 😀 #wip #unrealengine #speedtree #wind #vfx #ginkgo #forest #ghostoftsushima #inspired #scene #fanart

Some of you may know, while others may not, that last year I started writing articles on the topic of game testing. It turns out that writing articles is quite challenging. 1. You need an idea for the article. 2. You need time to write it. 3. You need to write it clearly and interestingly. So, while I have plenty of ideas, I seem to lack the time to write them in an engaging way. Therefore, here is a list of popular texts that I have already written: - Aspects of Testing Mobile Realtime Multiplayer Games - Challenges Encountered in Game Testing - From PC to Mobile: Developer Mistakes and Their Lessons Enjoy! Perhaps you have topics from the world of game testing that interest you? Feel free to ask, and I'll try to write an article about it or provide a brief answer. Links in the comments! #qa #testing #blog #games #gaming
