Well, it's been over a year since my last post. I've managed to update most unreal plugins to 4.25/4.26, but other than that, not a lot has happened!

Still working on Everwild at Rare. Still in lockdown!

Working from home constantly I really need to disconnect from work at the end of the workday so I have not been doing any programming work, outside work. That will probably remain true for a good few months, until going to work means getting out of the house!

Hope y'all are keeping well through this nonsense, that's all from me for now :)

Not really been keeping up these regular updates have I? In my defence, it's been a very busy time, settling into a new job, new country (kinda), and in the process of buying a house.

The UnrealEngine plugins haven't got much love in a while, the the point where CashGen, the most popular, needs a decent size refactor to support a raft of changes that have come in the RuntimeMeshComponent plugin that it depends on. Hopefully I can find some time in the next month to get that work done.

Normality has almost been resumed, my PC and all my other junk has arrived from Germany and I've made a reasonable dent in the unpacking. Just utterly exhausted now and looking forward to a bit of time off over Christmas.

Finally updating to Unrealengine 4.23 and will take a look at updating all the plugins some time this week.

I've been pretty unhappy with the way that social media has been developing in recent years, so in recent months I've slowly been shutting down my accounts. LinkedIn I'm hanging on to as it's genuinely useful, but the rest is gone.

In the absence of any other online outlet, I'm going to start writing more posts on here. It's been quiet lately, but international moves are tough! I am literally sat on a pillow on my living room floor at the moment because I haven't had any furniture for the last 6 weeks, but finally this purgatory comes to an end next week and everything turns up, including the PC!

Once my PC is set up I'll crack on with getting my plugins updated to UE 4.23 for y'all. Since I'm working in Unreal daily now I'm sure I'll be learning things that'll make me want to update and enhance them.

In other news, the project I'm working on has been announced, which is super awesome for many reasons. Here's the trailer:

 

Getting back into life in the UK has been surprisingly easy, having lived in big cities for the last decade, coming back to small town life, running a car, driving to work, shopping on Sundays! It's good to be back home.

I want to note what I've been listening to and playing, so this week :
