A couple of days ago I was watching my FireTV install the latest FireTV FireOS 5.0 OS update. It downloaded it and rebooted. What I saw on my TV during the update was Beautiful, I know it's silly to get all gitty about a update screen that most people just leave the room for. But it does show that it doesn't have to look like ass. Yes, i'm talking about the Windows Insider build / November update screen.

 

So I was wondering, if they borrowed from the FireTV, what it would look like. So for fun, I made some Mockups.

Watching paint dry is more interesting than watching updates install on a PC.

 

Who cares what it looks like, really? Again, another non-issue. 

 

Neowin, all about eye candy... 

Yes, because why have anything look good at all, when it can just look like ass instead. Oh wait, we tried that a few times with Windows. It worked out so well. (Y)

      I know I won't ever be using it to make my game. I'd rather pay real humans.

      Nah. For every indie dev that needs to create code for "stuff" or textures, it's a godsend enabler to possibly tackle a project that you may not otherwise. The end result and testing will tell the truth if everything works or doesn't, or a game is just mediocre slop, but now these tools are now there and it's the developer's duty to judge the outcome, and even more so for pro studios. And you gotta remember that they will be at an early stage.

      As a game dev, today was really depressing. They announced that Blueprints will be deprecated in UE6 to be fully replaced by their sh**ty Python-like Verse language... They also announced that 5.8 will be the last version of UE5 until UE6 comes out in MID 2029!!!! They have completely lost the plot.
