A quick update as I head to GDC

On topic,

@INovaeKeith
Well if you ran into Tim Sweeney then surely you also ran into Cliff Bleszincki? Even though Tim is the CEO, we don’t hear much about him as we did about Cliff when he was at Epic Games.

Oh and what your thoughts on the recently released Unreal Engine 4?

I have had my best sex toys out waiting for that video. There getting dusty now. Do I have time to run them through the dishwasher and put them away or just use a hairdryer to dust them off then keep them in a bag by the computer?
Not sure what to do.

I think it’s telling that you’re willing to put sex toys in a dishwasher…

@Bentware I’ve been traveling outside the US all week and it has had a significant impact on my ability to remove the last remaining blockers for releasing the video. Originally I didn’t think it was going to be quite this disruptive but… I was wrong.

From what I saw at GDC it looks great. They’ve really polished up the editor/tools and the new pricing model + source is quite disruptive. Beyond that I haven’t looked at any of the guts. From what I’ve heard from people who are actually working with it is they have mixed feelings about the removal of UnrealScript. Apparently UE4 relies on its dynamic recompiling with a C++ macro based scripting language instead. I guess I’ll have to cough up $20 and take a look myself at some point :stuck_out_tongue:

That’s the best forum post ever.

Visiting Flavien land?

Edit:
Regardless, enjoy your trip!

Don’t worry for us, we’ve learned patience. Good travels and have fun (if you find time for it)!

Nah, it doesn’t top the Doughnout post.
This is not a subtle way to ask if putting the old forum’s archives is still planned.
I’m not good at subtle anyway.
But it was even funnier than it was creepy!

Recommended by lots of porn sights.

Surely you must get mates’ rates or something? :stuck_out_tongue:

Maybe Bentware just buys in bulk? Or is lazy? Or likes things fresh off the heated dry cycle?

That isn’t a quote of me!
Do a better job of your porn research.
Get back on subject before this thread gets locked! I rather like this thread. Got to go, the heated dry cycle just ended.

Who says that this isn’t the NEW subject?

Five days until video. It will probably be longer than that. Pant pant pant.

Two days… they must be working on it as Keith’s Twitter account is very slow.

I was traveling for the last 10 days, I just got back last night. My level of activity will be picking up this week as I work to clear the remaining blockers on our video.

I’m all excised, maybe too much so. One day left. I do like counting down ever so much.

Thanks for keeping us up to date.

Huh, you’ve taxed yourself? It actually kinda works…

Did you mean “words” That law still holding true :wink:

Like I said, I can’t spell and depend on spellchecker. It’s not wordchecker. And ya it kind of does work.

I know. It was just such a tempting typo to make fun of. I mean, how many times do you see someone excising themselves? :smile:

Getting out of bed is very taxing :wink:
