To access UE I have to use VPNs because of sanctions and VPNs are illegal here. Even logging into Fab or updating the engine is a struggle.The game industry barely exists here and surviving as a dev is hard. That didn’t stop me. I just hope war or internet shutdowns don’t either.
The current situation in Iran, conflict, and internet disruptions have made it difficult to beactive.
This isn’t burnout. External factors are involved. I don’t know what the coming weeks will look like or if I’ll be able to finish Geno, but as long as I can, I’ll keep working.
My cyclothymia and severe depression have made it really hard to even open the engine lately. I’m sorry if I’ve gone quiet or unintentionally brought the mood down.
But I built a betta fish tank Hoping it helps me reset and slowly get back on track.

After a control point is captured, it now goes into a cooldown. Since capturing CPs = hacking the trolley and switching its direction, the cooldown helps keep the tension up.
Sorry for the scuffed video editing
Any Thoughts?

Thanks for your encouraging worlds. I do appreciate it.
Yeah, the state of AAA games are not great these days.
Thank you very much.
With all these new free AAA shooters dropping, I’ve been feeling pretty down lately about my solo adventure into making one. Still, I’m gonna keep grinding and finish this game. Hopefully I’m not deep in a sunk cost fallacy😅.

Still working on the bot AI system. It’s taking way longer than I expected 😅
For now, here’s a quick clip of the weapon switch system in action!

Yeah I just forgot to hide FPS meshes when switching to the third person camera and this happened (long time ago) and since I use it to debug my animations and net code 😅.
Turned this bug into a feature 😅, using it to sync FPS and TPS animations and check what’s replicated and what’s not. #indiedev #UnrealEngine #gamedev #indiegame #solodev
It could! I'm playing with it now I hope higher values might solve the problem.
Thank you. I think one problem is that I am a CS2 lover and I constantly compare my work to a game which is more that 20 years old and is constantly getting better. I guess that is why It took more than 16 months for me to just finish one gameplay loop. (not fulltime work though).
Oh, yeah! 2 great suggestions. Thank you. I will consider them. The life-bar is really not necessary there!
Why does it always feel like my game gives players less screen space compared to others?
Here’s a side-by-side with CS2 (and yes, I aced with a pistol 😎).
My hand model’s smaller, HUD tighter, maybe it’s the level design or scale?

Feels unreal finally being able to play through a full gameplay loop in my game! Still a ton to polish and improve.

More like unreal tournament.
Which one do you prefer: a hit-scan sniper or a projectile-based one?

It's not old school! It's classic 😎. And it looks incredible!
A samurai meditating.
The scene lacks blood and treason 😅
Your team would get a point if you secure the payload to your base.

The tracks are solid static meshes. I couldn't get the result that I wanted using mesh instances on a spline. There are multiple separate splines in the map. I just need to align them with the track.
One in the middle. That's why the wheels are not perfectly aligned.
Much better movement. Now I need to carefully adjust the spline and match the wheel movement with speed.

Just got to work and saw my mouse is not working.
I love my co-workers 😅. It made my day 😁🤣🤣.
I am rehearsing my game award speech right now.
Flawless movement! @unrealengine.bsky.social offer me a job, I might accept 😎😎.

Wishlisted 👌
Yeah. you are not the first person to tell me that these things belongs to GDD! I will surely try to work more with GDD. I'm just used to write down stuff.
😂😂
