honestly this game is so inspiring to me i LOVE when you post. i can’t wait to see where this goes. :)

i haven’t used unity myself, so i can’t comment. unreal isn’t perfect, but has been stable for me 🤷‍♂️

this has not been my experience at all lmfao

coming from x, i haven’t even noticed an add lmfao

Procedural Tree Bark Material blueprintue.com/blueprint/x7...

hate that i loved this

side note, it even generates normals for the texture, but imho it looks really weird so i usually disable it.

i made this procedural material so i could quickly make bark for trees, but really it could be used for a couple different things, like grass or dirt or cobblestone. #ue5 #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #procedural

starting to find some visual identity (day/night sped up significantly)

HOW TF CAN I MAKE WORLDALIGNEDTEXTURE STOP BLURRING MY TEXTURES 😭😭😭

#ue5 #gamedev #indiedev #worldalignedtexture

made the decision to remove wall running (even though i loved doing it) and instead replace it with a wall cling/jump mechanic. wall running made the game into something i wasn’t wanting it to be.

side bonus is that now you can climb, which is something i wanted to add

i’ve spent at least 3 hours working on my game this week, and at least 20 hours watching tutorials that go over my head. 🙃

learning is pain.

#ue5 #gamedev #indiedev

game dev is so fun. you can wip up a working prototype in in a couple hours, realize you did it entirely wrong, spend days fixing it, and end up with basically the same thing you started with. 🙃 just *sometimes* more robust.

A Settings page in a video game

the results of the blueprints i posted earlier. i should have done this a long time ago. 🤤

#ue5 #indiedev #gamedev

learning how to make some settings and stuff like that, love how clean this logic looks 🤤

#ue5 #indiedev #gamedev

you can now pick up physics items

realized that everything i did yesterday was wrong, so i fixed it plus added stars (and a moon)

#ue5 #gamedev #indiedev

Been kinda struggling with what i want to do next because there’s so much i don’t know, so i got a day night cycle working

#indiedev #ue5 #gamedev

added input smoothing. in this vid it’s set really low(meaning high smoothing) and i wouldn’t recommend playing like this, but the tech works and reasonable settings make a huge difference in playability.

showcasing chaining double jump + air boosting to clear large distances

#unrealengine #indiegamedev #wallrun #doublejump

too many changes to mention since my last, but not a lot of fun things, mostly just polish.
moved fov change from spring input to overall velocity, so you get more change during things like falling, jumping, air boosting etc
#unrealengine #indiegamedev #wallrun #doublejump

Got double jump working out of wall jumping.

before, i could only jump one additional time until i touched the ground again, now wall running correctly resets the jump counter (had to make my own jump feature copying default jumps z vector)

#unrealengine #indiegamedev #wallrun #doublejump

vaulting (sorta) working.

having tons of collision issues using sweep mode on setcharacterlocation, so i just disabled my collision while mantling. it seems i should learn root movement maybe. 😬😬

#unrealengine #sologamedev #indiegamedev

plan on adding vaulting, not really sure how i’m going to do it though. also need to make sure that it doesn’t keep “wall running” off the end of the walls or off of curves.

once i got that smoothed out a bit i added some stuff like maintaining velocity into the wallrun, dropping if you move too slow, tilting the camera when you’re on the wall. it’s still janky, but we’re getting somewhere.

got wall running working in my game today :) in this vid it’s still a bit janky, but i can’t believe i even got this far.

#beginninggamedev #movementgames #wallrun #walljump

decided to finally start learning game dev, learned to do some very basic 3D modeling in blender, and today i made my first blueprint in unreal (i got my character to sprint, the FOV even changes!)
