Deep dives on AI-powered game development, MCP servers, and shipping games faster. Written by devs who've been in the trenches.
A behind-the-scenes look at how we used rule-based procedural scatter to fill a massive open world with forests, rocks, and foliage — in just a few hours.
The complete workflow for getting assets from Blender into Unreal Engine 5 — covering export settings, material conversion, collision, LODs, and placing thousands of assets into your world with procedural tools.
World Partition, OFPA, and Data Layers have replaced traditional level streaming in UE5. Here's how to build open worlds larger than 16 km² without drowning in memory, load times, or organizational chaos.
// AI EVERYWHEREUnreal + Blender + Godot MCP servers in one bundle. Works with Claude, Cursor, Windsurf.
Building multiplayer into a game after the fact is one of the most painful refactors in game development. Here's how to design your UE5 gameplay systems for replication from day one — even if you're shipping single-player first.
A deep dive into the new features in Procedural Placement Tool v2, including biome zones, density painting, and performance improvements.
A balanced, no-hype assessment of where AI actually helps game developers in 2026, what's still overpromised, and how to adopt AI tools without betting your project on technology that isn't ready.
AI in game engines goes far beyond generating levels. Here are 10 practical, surprising workflows — from batch asset renaming to cross-tool pipelines — that MCP-powered AI handles right now.
A detailed breakdown of developer hours and real costs for building health, inventory, dialogue, quest, and save systems from scratch versus using pre-built Blueprint templates — with honest trade-offs for both approaches.
// UNREAL MCP SERVER305 editor tools — actors, materials, Blueprints, Sequencer, landscapes, Niagara. Full undo.
Introducing StraySpark — a game studio building professional-grade tools for Unreal Engine developers.
A practical case study showing how a 2-3 person team can achieve photorealistic open-world environments using Nanite, procedural placement, free assets, and smart production planning — with real budget breakdowns and time estimates.
We break down the real math behind subscription vs one-time purchase tool pricing for indie studios — total cost of ownership over 1-3 years, what happens when you stop paying, and why we chose the model we did.
A transparent comparison of every major scatter approach for Unreal Engine 5 — manual foliage painting, PCG framework, Marketplace alternatives, and dedicated placement tools. We cover what each does well, where it falls short, and which one fits your project.
