Prismatica is an indie game currently in development by one human and four cats in Melbourne, Australia.

A challenging RPG experience in a beautifully stylized world that harnesses inspiration from melee combat games such as Mordhau, Mount & Blade and Dark Souls and conveys it from a top-down perspective.

My mission is to demonstrate that learning the required skills to develop and ship a game can be done in spare time with the right attitude.

Hello, everybody! Today we're having a little look at Light Functions inside Unreal Engine! These bad-boys can be a very intelligent way of dealing with many light-based effects, including overhead clouds, flickering lights and even creating a film projector!

Enjoy!

Hey team! Today we're doing a walk-through of the Directional and Sky lights in Unreal Engine! We won't be covering Lumen specifically, however everything you learn here can also be applied to Lumen. We're also going to look at all of the ways you can achieve fantastic lighting without hurting your performance using methods such as Far Shadows, Distance Field Shadows, Cascade Shadows, Screen-space Ambient Occlusion AND Distance Field Ambient Occlusion.

Enjoy!

Hello, fellow Unreal-er-engine-ers! Today we're looking at a fabulous feature introduced in Unreal Engine 5.1. It's a real banger, even in its first iteration. I'm sure this system will be expanded upon in the future. We're also going to look at some performance tests and some little tidbits you won't have known until now.

Enjoy!

Hey Prismaticrew! Today we're having a look at an extremely useful set of tools that can be used for hundreds of different things. If you've ever wanted to do vehicle damage, character damage, Splatoon-style painting or just letting players paint and customise things as runtime, then this is the video for you!

Runtime Vertex Paint || The Best Bang-for-Buck Plugin

Hey team! Today we're having a look at how to create infinite sound variations using all 3 auditory-dimensions! These techniques are the bread and butter of MetaSounds and I figured I would cover it to help you get more accustomed to the way the MetaSound graph functions.

Randomizing Audio with MetaSounds [UE5]

Heyyyyy, how you been? Today we're having a cheeky gander at the NOISE node in the Unreal Engine 5 and why we may want to use it over a traditional noise texture sample. It can be incredibly useful as a replacement for tri-planar noise/textures, being used in a Height Lerp, amogus other things.

Enjoy!

I'm starting on a new game!

WOW! Here's a handy node that can save you hundreds of thousands of instructions in your shaders and materials. This node saved my marriage. While the outcome can look blocky when used inappropriately, it's unnoticeable when used correctly. This is a vital part of optimizing shaders :)

Happy New Year my fellow Prismaticans! Today we're looking at a few nodes that are ESSENTIAL for character shaders and other skinned meshes. The pre-skinned nodes allow you to access the positions of vertices before the animation is applied, sort of like how you can Exclude WPO when getting the World Position.

Enjoy!

HEY! LISTEN! Today we're looking at how I handle weapon trails in Prismatica. We use a 2-socket method and calculate all the necessary parameters ahead of time so our trails will match perfectly. We also look in to some of the common mistakes made when doing weapon trails, so make sure you watch until the end!

Hey all! Today marks the dawn of a new age - my Audio in Unreal series! Wow!~ 
In this video, we go over the VERY basics of MetaSounds in Unreal Engine 5 (UE5) and I show a few examples of the practical uses of MetaSounds.

I hope you're looking forward to all the videos to come!
