So, I created a map in Unreal Engine. It used all the latest and greatest features; it was working great. Built with Mesh Terrain and Procedural Meshes from Lyra. I loaded it with my half-finished Experience in my GFP within Lyra and then shut the engine. The next day, the map wouldn’t load. So I looked in the text file… and it was apparently severely corrupted. The file was full of Traditional Chinese characters (or at least, that’s what the decoder thought it was). And that text made a poem?
Shu Ying Gu Lu s Mu'
The lanterns illuminate the scene, the birds cry, and the waves crash. Everything is peaceful and joyful, full of life. Every person seems vibrant and energetic, enjoying the warmth and light of the lanterns. The joy fills the air, laughter and chatter mixing with the soft glow of the lamps. Children run around excitedly, weaving through the crowd, their eyes wide with wonder. Couples stroll together, holding hands and smiling.
Even the breeze seems alive, brushing gently against the faces of those who wander through the square. Street vendors call out to offer treats, their carts filled to the brim with food and trinkets that shine in the lamplight. Music drifts from performers who gather in corners, playing tunes that make people sway and dance.
As night deepens, the energy remains, the festival vibe not fading. Lanterns float above, casting delicate shadows on the paths below, and the sound of joy carries far and wide. The evening, shared by all, is a celebration of life, of connection, and of small, happy moments that linger in memory.
This was very odd lol. Thankfully there was an autosave backup, which wasn’t corrupted, though I didn’t care about that map too much anyways.
