The free and open source painting, sketching, animating and concept art application Krita has just released Krita 5.2. In this video we look at the top new features of Krita 5.2 in action, then run through all the various other features and improvements that were added in 5.2
Released last week along side Unreal Engine 5 was the City Scene assets from the Matrix Demo (released for PS5 and Xbox the end of 2021). This amazing project showcases using UE5 for next generation AAA game development, including new features like Nanite, Lumen and World Partitions. In this video we show the Matrix City Scene running in Unreal 5. Additionally we look at how you can tweak performance to run the demo on less powerful machines.
You can also learn how to tweak the requirements of the City Scene demo in this linked article:

Last October I did my semi-annual Choosing A Game Development Laptop guide... and at the time, I didn't personally need a laptop. Since then, my Razer is having problems, so I purchased a new laptop specifically for game development.
Did I buy the Zephyrus G15 I recommended in that video...? No, but... I came very close. So if you are thinking about buying a laptop for game development, this is what I ultimately choose, and why.

What I bought [Amazon]:

What I recommend if you want to save money[Amazon]:
https://amzn.to/36N2qyy
Both the above are rock solid choices. The Amazon links pay GFS a small commission if used. There is no way to buy directly from Asus... no idea why.

*Well, some can. Manticore Games just launched a new program for their currently alpha Core game engine/platform, where developers get paid simply by the number of players that play their games. During this pilot program however, the number of seats available is limited.
