Valve making a game again. Wow. Source 2 looks fantastic

It is not unusual. Sure there are long breaks but as long the game does not end with 3 it is no huge deal.

They are talking about barks. To anyone interested, and since I remember reading it a few years back : here is a post that was shared by JE Sawyer on his tumblr about writing for video games, it’s from one of Outer Worlds narrative designer, Kate Dollarhyde, and a twitter thread by Katie Chironis about barks.

Fortnite gets classy with a brand new level editor/toolset called Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) [previously rumored as “Creative 2.0”]

Taking advantage of the hugely detailed Unreal Engine 5, this brings a massive overhaul to creating worlds, experiences and games within Fortnite. Huge prop editing tools, a new programming language called Verse, and the ability to program things like unique animations and cutscenes.

That fancy tech wasted on a game like Fortnite and not something like, you know, Unreal which is the engine is named after :roll_eyes:

Yes it is a waste to program something for the most played game in the world. Clearly Epic should have released this for the series that hasn’t had a game since the GFC.

I would have also mentioned Gears of War but they sold it to MS and also Jazz Jackrabbit but I doubt that more than half of Epic’s user base are old enough to remember that game :face_holding_back_tears:

You can fully build your own racecar to drive around which is cool. What is also cool is this:

Of course, it’s going to take me half the weekend just to download it. :grin:

Okay, I woke up this morning, went to try Midnight Suns (not fully downloaded yet, but the opening bit was ready to play)…and the game gives me “This trial is no longer available” and promptly crashes. :frowning_with_open_mouth:

Apparently, a lot of people are having the same problem on PS5 and they’re working on a fix.
