There are now free and open-source power saving plugins available for the 3 biggest game engines out there:

https://github.com/BoldBeetleGames/energy-saver-addon

https://github.com/HaukeThiessen/EnergySavingPlugin

https://github.com/wtfoliver/UnityEnergySaver
So if you're using any of these engines, you can make your game use significantly less energy in less than an hour, without having to write any code yourself.

#unreal is about the only turn key engine that pushed their builtin #gameaudio capabilities and innovated in the past years.

They made audio a 1st class feature and not just an afterthought that forces you to turn to middleware if you need anything beyond the bare essentials (see unity/godot).

It's such a shame so many of the audio team where caught in the recent layoffs, including the Audio Engine Director.

Makes you wonder wtf is going on at that company and definitely erodes trust.

Collect crystals and chain them together to get a nice reward in the end

«USA verbieten alle neuen Router für Verbraucher:
Ab sofort lassen die USA nur noch im Inland hergestellte Router für Verbraucher zu. Solche Modelle gibt es aber nicht.»

Nun ja, so kann man das Internet, sprich Meinungsfreiheit, auch untergraben. Wenn dies bezüglich den kommenden US-Wahlen einen Einfluss hat?

Welcome! You are invited to join a meeting: Optimizing Energy Efficiency: Examining the Power-Saving Unreal Plugin by Hauke Thießen. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the meeting.

Optimizing Energy Efficiency: Examining the Power-Saving Unreal Plugin by Hauke Thießen - with Hauke Thießen, Technical Artist at Deck 13 Interactive, Dietmar Hauser, Principal Software Engineer at Epic Games and Mitchell Largan, CEO & Creative Director at Ever Curious Entertainment Get the Power-Saving Unreal Plugin here: https://www.fab.com/listings/05b7bb7f-0bb4-4421-94f8-133c47e23de2 https://github.com/HaukeThiessen/EnergySavingPlugin/tree/main Description This session focuses on the Power-Saving Unreal Plugin by Hauke Thießen (Technical Artist at Deck 13 Interactive), developed to optimize your game’s energy efficiency in a pragmatic and time-efficient way—without compromising the player experience. In fact, these optimizations can even enhance the player experience by improving battery life, reducing heat-induced slowdowns, and minimizing fan noise, making them a benefit for developers. After a brief introduction to the Power-Saving Unreal Plugin by Hauke, Dietmar Hauser (Principal Software Engineer at Epic Games) and Mitchell Lagran (CEO & Creative Director at Ever Curious Entertainment) will open the floor for discussion and questions with Hauke, diving deeper into the technical aspects, benefits, and practical implementation of the plugin.

Enemies can now spawn crystals when they are defeated, they spawn a random amount of crystals per enemy
