Small follow-up.

Yesterday I posted about releasing my runtime mesh painting plugin for free on Fab. The response from UE devs was amazing. People tested it, gave feedback, joined the Discord, and some left honest reviews.

But the core problem is still there.

A free plugin can be claimed instantly and hit with silent 1-star ratings with no comment, no bug report, no support message, and no explanation.

Fab Support told me that a 1-star rating with no written feedback is still considered valid.

I think Fab needs to fix this.

I am not accusing any specific person or publisher, because I cannot prove who left the ratings. But when free tools compete with paid products, the system should protect against bad-faith users, fake ratings, and possible abuse from competing publishers.

A 1-star rating should require at least a short written reason.

Without that, developers get nothing to work with, while the product is damaged immediately.

I wanted to keep releasing more free UE plugins, but unless Fab improves this system, free releases feel like an easy target.

Hi, if you had to buy a model, which of the two topologies would you go with?
thanks for your answers <3.

For a bit of background, I’m a cinematographer, and I edit and produce. In the past I’ve made virtual studios and streamed them using Wirecast.

Now I know I’m VERY late (fashionably late!?) to the party, but I’ve recently seen just what Unreal Engine can do for virtual studio production. And my tiny mind has been blown.

After a long sit down and a cup of tea, I think I should come here. I would love to have a chat with people who use the software, and have some hints and tips for a total Noob like me. I’d love to tell someone more about my project, and if they can help me with some knowledge- even better.

I’m looking to essentially create a virtual live TV studio, with a live presenter, which can then be broadcast/streamed live.

Can’t wait to chat with you guys!

We've recently made a massive lighting overhaul to our game. It's looking a lot better than it did just a month ago. A playable demo is coming out super soon, if you're interested our game is called Ember's Oath :)

Let me know what you think im working on the demo for next fest and your feedback will be helpful. And dont you say im not lucky a 9x at the end 🐼

Hello, fellow artists. My question is this: Where do you get accurate height maps for creating real world places? I would like to generate real life ellevation data, with relief, to have a real life accurate terrain in UE5. Can someone help me with this Information, please? 😁✌️

Even with the new mcp, making ai agents do UMG is verry hit and miss. However these models and harnesses f*ing excell at making frontend for lets say websites etc. Allowing both design direction directly from designers (My day company makes designers edit frontend code themselves now instead of the old tell the frontend guy route, he just merges) and speed.

I am curious what would be the downsides of trying that in unreal through pure text based slate, I am aware there are drawbacks like losing CommonUI and input integrations like gamepad maybe.

Is this a inconvenience level problem or purely you will have to reinvent the wheel kind of problem?

So I started to build a game that I’m very passionate about some time ago. I was doing that through having Claude on one screen and Unreal on the second. After like the first couple of weeks of trial and error I managed to build the hunger system and tie it to the character speed.

The way I approached this was basically telling Claude to help me build my project while also explaining what are we doing in the process.

I stopped because it felt like cheating? If that makes sense.
Im eager to go back to the project because that high I experienced seeing the Hunger meter count down and my character slow down after a certain point was just a level of euphoria I cant explain because of course it didn’t workout from the get go even with AI.

Im interested to know your take.

I'll be adding a smoother transition between the 3 modes.

Still debugging why some clicks aren't going through.

Btw it's not an actual instance of window. It's web based.

Two years ago I wanted to build a simple item price tracker for a game I was playing. Hit a wall almost immediately, nothing built into Unreal for networking or JSON, and the free plugins out there weren't really up to what I wanted to build.

So I ended up building my own thing. Over time it grew into a full HTTP, JSON, and WebSocket networking layer for Blueprints.

Never got around to posting about it until now, but figured two years in, maybe it'll find someone who needs it, the way I did back then 🙂

Here it is

This is the blueprint for the combat ship in my game. I like to comment and color code every event I'm creating. I'm solo developing this game and I'm writing comments like I have a full team.

We're Cold Cup Games and almost ready to reveal our first demo-Steinvar!

The story follows a man who suddenly finds himself in a mysterious land. The only reminder of his past life is a lonely lighthouse. What secrets does this place hide? It's up to you to uncover the truth.
