Agreed, but mostly use the engine that’s right for your idea (ie Unity over UE for mobile etc)

I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉
No update this Friday, it’s taking WAY longer than I hoped to make the traversal animations to fill the “gaps”
#solodev #indiedev #gamedev
Only took 1.5 weeks but finally got my new traversal system working!
No longer does it occasionally clip through the objects 😊
Now to make some animations for better coverage 😅
That said I left Unity for Unreal a few months back after too much time fighting DOTS (how they can release it with so much missing functionality is beyond me)
The brown and turquoise is mesmerising!
I don’t have anything to use something like that in but Id like to think of something 🫡
Is this a smile? 🤣🤷♂️
And who knows my demo might be ready by then 🤣🤷♂️
Didn’t even here that was on, only 10 or so miles down the road 😞
Looks good!
Tip for OBS if you didn’t know it, you can setup keyboard shortcuts to start/stop recording so can do it while on the games window
Yea I was thinking more RDR2 though with filters, etc
Noise is noise, good when used in a shader using world cords as UV offset so everything has different noise from the same material 🫡
That said one thing I haven’t & want to is cinematic photo modes, think it’s a good way for players to show of their characters and in the process my game for me 🤷♂️
Tfw you still have some edge cases to fix in your procedural locomotion system #gamedev
Mint Cinnamon use the be what I suggested ppl moving from Windows try
Unfortunately I can’t myself as several bits of software I use are windows only & quiet demanding so really don’t need an emulation layer adding extra demand 😞
This is what the previous iteration looked like, it was a bit rough round the edges but worked for the most part 🙂

Redoing my traversal system as hit a roadblock with windows, etc in the previous version 😬
Added min depth, height and width checks for both where the traverse starts and end, + other safety checks in this latest iteration 😅
Getting there slowly!
Should I allow traversing over walls that would mean certain death? 🤔
I'm really not sure 🤷♂️
Can imagine myself go “just go round” while waving a finger motion 🤣🤷♂️
Teach me to move animations I wasn’t using yet to sub folders 😂🤷♂️
Ugh had to resolve my 1st MAJOR file path/redirector issue in UE5 today 🤦♂️
Ended up just using a file explorer to move things to where UE thought they were 😅
It worked 😁 🤷♂️
(It crashed while moving stuff but didn’t notice the issues till more dev had been done 😞)

Stupid thing is she probably got chewed out for this even tho it’s what every sane person would have been thinking 🤷♂️
And here’s me giving myself the jump scares when drifting off just laying in bed 😂🤷♂️
What is he signaling with the finger/hand taps?
Day I got Kojoe (with her bro Hugo)
(Damn photo history)
Only bc I’m nosey and like to see how bad mine is in comparison 🤣
Very nice!
But I’d rather see the retopology 🤷♂️😉
Making headway with traversal 🫡
Making it work with all world objects & not specific defined traversable objects is definitely adding complexity tho 😅
#gamedev #solodev #indiedev
First Notepad++ now this 🙄
