Quote:At the keynote of Unreal Fest Tokyo 2026 (November 3–4, 2026, Tokyo), Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney announced significant changes for Unreal Engine 6 (UE6):

Blueprints (BP) and Actors will be removed (not merely deprecated) in UE6.

This is a shift from the earlier plan announced at Unreal Fest Chicago / State of Unreal in June 2026, where they were expected to remain in early versions and later be deprecated.⁠

The C++ Gameplay Framework will also be abolished. Game logic will fully migrate to Verse + Scene Graph.
C++ will continue to be used for core engine systems (rendering, physics, etc.), but not for the gameplay framework.⁠

Reasons given: higher development productivity, better content portability/interoperability across games and ecosystems, and stronger compatibility with AI-assisted development.

Epic reported significant efficiency gains from internal Verse-based work.⁠

Tim Sweeney acknowledged it as a “painful change” and apologized to developers attached to Blueprints. He noted that Epic itself is experiencing the same pain (e.g., migrating Fortnite to Verse without service interruption).

Migration support: AI-powered conversion tools are planned to help transition from Blueprints/C++ to Verse (exact form TBD).

Projects already in development on UE5 can continue on the UE5 branch (including UE5.9 and future 5.x releases).⁠

UE6 Early Access remains targeted for the end of 2027.
The event also features 30+ sessions covering games (Sega, ACE COMBAT 8, etc.), film, architecture, automotive, digital twins, UEFN, MetaHuman, and deep dives into Verse/Scene Graph.

Bottom line: UE6 is moving to a Verse-centric programming model and will remove the traditional Actor / Blueprint / C++ Gameplay Framework.

So, What do you thinks about these changes?

Quote:It’s official: 5.9 is happening and it's coming in Preview next week.

It’ll include improved AI workflows, web as a target platform, rendering and animation updates, plus more.

We’re making a few changes in 5.9 branch over on GitHub, and more will come in over the next few…

Quote:ONE APP TO CRAFT IT ALL, FROM ANYWHERE AT ALL
Creative work on iPad has always been split across apps, with a trip to desktop required to finish the job. Affinity for iPad brings it all together in one file, without losing any power. Sketch ideas, develop RAW files, edit vectors node by node, take full control of type and layouts, then send it straight to print. You can feel every change take shape under your fingertip and every curve snap into place where you touch your Apple Pencil.

FULL PHOTO EDITING POWER ON IPAD
Non-destructively edit photos, build composites, make intelligent selections, fine-tune RAW files, and retouch in real time. It’s a hands-on, live-editing experience that lets you reach in, refine the tiniest details, and keep pushing the image exactly where you want it to go.

SKETCH FREELY, SHAPE PRECISELY
Sketch out your ideas, then shape them into precise vectors. Affinity is powerful enough to design a full brand system, yet tactile enough to sketch out a logo idea mid-meeting on iPad. Tilt your Apple Pencil to shade a line, then roll the barrel in your hand to switch up the stroke as the idea takes shape. When you’re done with the drawing, switch from Sketch Studio to Vector Studio and build real curves, paths, and nodes straight over what you drew. It all happens in the same file, in real time.

PRO PAGE LAYOUT, WHEREVER YOU ARE
Use touch and Apple Pencil to place grids, guides, text, and images with precision, then edit it all directly in your document as it updates live. From short brochures to 500-page books, Affinity gives you serious layout tools, professional color control, and everything else you need to create print-ready output on iPad.

AI THAT RESPECTS YOUR CRAFT
Creation is all about craft, and we’re here to simplify your creative journey, not complicate it. So the Canva AI Studio handles the jobs nobody really wants: clearing grain, rescuing a blurry shot, cutting out a background. You stay in charge of how far each fix goes, dialling it in until it’s exactly right, before getting straight back to the work you love. (Note: The Canva AI Studio is unlocked with a Canva premium plan. All your core photo, vector, layout and sketching tools are free.)

DESKTOP POWER AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
Affinity for iPad isn’t just a cut-down companion; it’s a fully-fledged, creative experience built for touch. Create production-ready artwork with real curves, precise nodes, and type that stays sharp through to print. Work with thousands of fully editable layers, follow every tangent, and change your mind whenever you like. Every adjustment, filter, and effect updates live, and heavy files stay fast and smooth, while Pencil pressure, tilt, and gestures respond exactly as your hand expects.

NO ORIGINAL FILES HARMED
Every edit in Affinity is non-destructive and your original files always stay intact, giving you the peace of mind to create freely, wherever you are.

YOUR PSDs ARE WELCOME HERE
Bring PSD, AI, INDD, IDML, PDF, SVG, and other file types into Affinity with layers and structure preserved.

FREE FOR INDIVIDUALS
True creative freedom: That’s what we’ve always wanted. To create without limits and focus on our craft. So we created something that lets you do just that. Something that enables you to create the highest quality work — anywhere — without the high costs.

Download Affinity and create wherever inspiration strikes, for free.

Quote:The name is a warning.

BRUTAL is intended for experienced programmers who want to make their own architectural decisions and are prepared to build and maintain the systems their games require. Its scope is deliberately focused. The team prioritises low-level functionality for demanding games, with contributions assessed against that purpose.

Quote:Other tools bring one piece over: a pivot tool, a keymap, a shelf. This rebuilds the set together — hotbox and marking menus, Channel Box and Attribute Editor, menu sets, shelves and option windows — on top of Blender’s own tools. Installing it changes nothing until you choose Maya.

Enabling the extension adds a small Maya | Blender switch at the right of the top bar, an Edit menu entry, the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Shift+M and, once, a welcome dialog. Your keymap, theme, layout and preferences stay as they are.

Choose Make Blender feel like Maya and the kit adds its Maya-style keys, menus and panels and the Maya layout in the open file. It never touches your theme, preferences or active keymap. Click Blender in the switch and Blender’s own keys and UI are back; switch again whenever a tutorial uses Blender’s own keys.

Quote:I spent years in Maya. When I finally tried to move to Blender, the software wasn’t really the problem. My hands were. I’d hold Space and nothing would pop up, I’d look for the Channel Box that wasn’t there, and every few minutes I’d catch myself reaching for a shelf. I made this hoping that people like me, who are used to Maya, can settle into Blender a little more easily.

To be honest, it’s still rough in places. Some Maya tools aren’t there yet, and some don’t feel quite right. I use it myself and I’ll keep improving it, but I can only fix what I know about. So if something breaks, feels off, or you miss a Maya feature you use every day, please leave an issue. Even a one-liner helps a lot. Want to help in other ways? Anything goes — see CONTRIBUTING.md.

Thanks for giving it a try ?

Quote:Today, we’re excited to announce that our next-generation runtime, GMRT, will be made free for commercial use starting January 1, 2027, allowing developers to create and distribute their games for free across desktop, mobile, web, and GX Games. 

These changes are building upon the source code access for GMRT announced earlier this year, aiming to make indie game development on GameMaker more accessible. As a result, developers will have more flexibility in how they work with GameMaker and a simplified commercial model for their new projects. The community will also be able to explore GameMaker’s technology, tailor it to their specific project needs, and even potentially contribute to it.

Empowering developers to build and distribute

The streamlined licensing model will enable developers to build and commercially distribute their games using GMRT without having to purchase a Professional license. In addition, they will have source code access across every tier.

Developers who currently own the Professional license will still be able to commercially distribute games made on the existing GMS2 runtime, and will additionally benefit from access to GMS2 runtime source code. Regardless of runtime, developers will still need an Enterprise license and to be an approved developer to be able to export to consoles. There will be no changes to existing tier pricing. 

“From the very beginning, GameMaker has been committed to making game development more accessible and flexible for every creator out there,” said Russell Kay, Head of GameMaker. “As GMRT continues to roll out in beta across platforms, we are widening the scope of what we provide to developers. We are excited to see what the community comes up with as we embark on this fresh chapter for GameMaker.”

Quote:UVgami is a free website for automatically UV unwrapping 3D models. You can open OBJ, GLB, GLTF, FBX, STL and .blend files and download them with a UV map. Everything runs in your browser, so your models are never uploaded to a server.

The unwrapping engines are built on OptCuts by Minchen Li et al. and xatlas by Jonathan Young.

If UVgami helped you out, you can support me on Ko-fi.

What is UV unwrapping?

UV unwrapping is the process of taking a 3D model and flattening it into 2D (like the reverse of origami!). The 2D UV map can then be used to texture the 3D model with an image. Manual UV unwrapping can be tedious and take a long time, so if you have a 3D model you want to texture, you can use this website to automatically UV unwrap it.

• DDGI improvements: The real-time global illumination system now samples and filters better in areas far from probes, keeping indirect shadowing intact. A new option also renders indirect lighting at half resolution with bilateral upscaling for better performance.
  
  
• DDGI specular reflections: DDGI can now place a set of specular probes so rough surfaces get dynamic reflections, removing the need for Environment Probes. On the demo level this costs about 49 MB of VRAM and 0.5–0.9 ms of GPU time on a 2080 Ti.
  
  
• .NET 10 and C# 14: Since .NET 8 reaches end of life this year, Flax moved its base runtime to .NET 10 LTS, bringing C# 14 and major performance gains. The team showed it running on Nintendo Switch.
  
  
• Editor UI improvements: The properties panel now has a search field. The wireframe debug view was also rebuilt, drawing lines over the lit model.
  
  
• Split-screen local co-op: Flax can now render multiple viewports into the main window, each with its own GUI region. A new local co-op racing sample, built on the Arizona Framework, shows split-screen with multiple HUDs.
  
  
• PCSS shadows: A new soft-shadow algorithm adjusts penumbra size to the light source’s size. It works with point, spot and directional lights.
  
  
• Occlusion culling: New hardware-query and HZB-based culling skip hidden objects to cut draw calls, especially in interior scenes. It covers models, particles, terrain, foliage and dynamic shadows, and you can plug in your own culling methods.
  
  
• Hardware instancing for animated models: Skeleton bone data now lives in a shared GPU buffer, so identical skinned meshes can be drawn in one call. A demo ran 5,000 animated characters at 60 fps.
  
  
• FSR 4 and TAAU: Temporal anti-aliasing can now upscale the image itself (TAAU), and the FSR plugin has been updated to AMD FSR 4.
  
  
• Reversed Z: The depth buffer now runs from 1 to 0, which gives more precision at a distance and improves rendering of large worlds. It’s on by default.
  
  
• Online Platform sample: A new sample project shows how to get player avatars, achievements and friends lists. It also uses new
  Code:

  IOnlinePlatform
  features for overlay UI and rich presence.
  
  
• Audio device detection: On desktop, games now automatically switch audio output when the player changes devices, such as moving from headphones to speakers.
  
  
• Other editor and tooling updates: Nodes such as comments can be resized from any side, and the GPU memory profiler can preview and save resources. Behavior Tree decorators now show condition text, colored by the result during play mode.
  
  
• Scripting and UI extras: A new
  Code:

  ScriptingObjectInterfaceReference<T>
  lets you reference objects by interface in both C++ and C#.
  Code:

  RenderToTextureControl
  can now apply a custom material shader to rendered UI, for effects like curved HUDs.
  
  
• Roadmap: Flax 1.14 is planned for Q1 2027 and 1.15 for Q3 2027, with Flax 2.0 targeted for late 2027. The team aims for full backward compatibility when projects move to 2.0.

• Massive Editor UI Improvements: The biggest highlight of this release is a comprehensive overhaul of editor UI features. The game view is now embedded into the main editor window by default, alongside main screen editors that have been converted into regular, undockable, and closable windows. Furthermore, quality-of-life enhancements like zoomable resource thumbnails, improved drag and drop indication and new hover visibility toggles in the scene tree make managing complex projects incredibly fast.
  
  
• Trail3D for VFX: A highly requested native 3D trail node has been added to make creating stunning visual effects accessible without requiring deep math knowledge. It provides an out-of-the-box solution that just works (It really is stupidly easy to use).
  
  
• Mip-level Texture Streaming: You can now dynamically load and unload images based on a camera’s relative position. This improves rendering performance and manages memory more effectively in larger scenes. While not quite texture streaming, it should greatly improve performance on texture dense games like open worlds.
  
  
• Focused GDScript Underlines & Refactoring: The editor now features focused in-editor underlines specifically designed to highlight GDScript warnings and errors without cluttering the screen. It also improves syntax highlighting performance and introduces powerful new GDScript refactoring capabilities.
  
  
• CanvasItem Game View Manipulation: You can now directly move, resize, rotate, and scale CanvasItems of your running game within the game view using a dedicated toolbar. It also supports full undo/redo and opening scenes via double-clicking.
  
  
• VisualShader Node Groups: To reduce bloat in complex shader graphs, you can now encapsulate frequently-used sections into reusable node groups. This cleans up messy boilerplate and makes shader development much more organized.
  
  
• Auto-Resizing UI Fonts: Labels and RichTextLabels now include properties for auto, minimum, and maximum font sizing. This automatically adjusts in-game text to fit constraints..
  
  
• Screen Space Contact Shadows: A new rendering feature creates an R8 shadow texture for each directional light and blends them with shadow maps. This delivers highly performant shadows without compromising visual quality.
  
  
• Built-in Android SDK Manager: The editor can now automatically download, set up, and manage the Android and Java SDKs with the click of a button. This dramatically streamlines the mobile export process.
  
  
• TextEdit & CodeEdit Touch Support: The script editors received major touch input upgrades, including tap-to-place cursor, drag-to-scroll, and double-tap for text selection. The code completion popup can now also be scrolled via touch.
  
  
• Core Engine Optimizations: Runtime RAM usage has been reduced by ~12mb by simplifying GDType, and object property access was accelerated by 1.6x. Removing many child nodes simultaneously is also noticeably faster.
