Unreal Engine C++ Save System

For your game, you will eventually need to write some kind of save system. To store player information, unlocks, achievements, etc. In some cases, you will need to save the world state such as looted chests, unlocked doors, dropped player items, etc.

Creating Latent Blueprint Nodes

For my upcoming game WARPSQUAD, I was curious how easy it is to fetch data from a web service to be displayed in-game. The initial use case is a simple Message of the Day (MOTD) to be displayed in the main menu. Allowing for easy communication with players during playtests or (service) issues. You could use such web interfacing for posting in-game feedback too or whatever data you want to keep outside of the game executable to update on the fly.

Mesh Outlines Without Post-Processing in Unreal Engine

Some time ago I saw a neat solution by Cory Spooner on outlining meshes using particle sprites. The concept has been done before - but it’s interesting enough to cover it regardless for Unreal Engine specifically. We render the outline on a translucent cube or sphere that is tightly fitted around the desired mesh. We apply the outline material to this cube instead of a post-process chain. This let’s us affect only small portions of the screen rather then pay the full-scree...

Distance Fog Post-Process Material
