Happy to help if you still need it. Iโ€™ve routinely been on recruitment panels in games for a while now.

Worried Europe is too reliant on US tech? Our data shows youโ€™re likely in the majority.

Surveying 3,000 people in the UK ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง, Germany ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช, and France ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท, we found that 8 out of 10 consumers are concerned about US tech dependence. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

Let's dig into our findings...

Officially at the point in my career where I've been working remotely for longer than I've been showing up at an office/studio every day. Wild.

VXMusic is officially out of Beta!

After tinkering around with VXMusic over the holidays, I'm happy to finally remove the beta stamp.

Shazam now works without BYO API Keys! Just plug and play without any further config needed.

Enjoy!

Im so upset about this. The Romeros are an important slice of the Irish game dev scene, I know folks affected, I was excited for this project. Itโ€™s just all around terrible.

Source/Target is such needlessly obtuse language used by Perforce. The amount of time it took Source/Target to become From/To in my head is embarrassing.

I just used TuneMyMusic to transfer it over. I think you get like 500 free transfers a month or something, which should be fine for your weeklies lmao. Works for YT and Apple Music too. Also yeah, Tidal doesn't always have the latest remixes that Spotify does which is a shame.

This is verified to work with ZenDashboard, UnrealFrontend, and UnrealInsights.

It should work with many more, so feel free to try it out for yourself!

I use this all the time to push Editor tooling to the likes of QA and Artists who may not have all dependencies installed.

For Unreal devs who work with the UE Editor source code directly, running different tools outside of the context of the Editor can be a pain.

Here's a script that extracts tools so they can run in isolation on machines that don't have the Editor installed.

Seeing as this is a time of retrospection, I want to try and put into words how I've been feeling over the past few months (if you'll humour a moment of vulnerability)

I've been struggling with how [ECHOSTASIS] has done and to put it bluntly, I've felt a bit broken ever since ๐Ÿงต
