Do you need a fun AI behavior in your unreal engine game? I can help develop it. I can find out a nicer way to manage npcs, unique characters and refine the pipeline from game design to implementation of game ai.

So would a guild master management sound like fun?

Im thinking of having the player organize quests and accept heros that want that quest. The fun is seeing if a copper rank hero being able to take down a rank plat demon lord at slim margins.

Trying to find ways to practice game ai.

Huge respect to the people who worked on personal 5 main menu. Blending animation and menus in a nice way is very challenging.

For village life and project Neptune I would like to have more templates for the systems I want to make in the game.

I want to make a lot of systems and thats how I end up procrastinating. Analysis paralysis is real.

This game jam was fun. But I procrastinated alot more than I wanted to.

Its an issue I have, I need to manage my time better.

I am following gamedev blender courses to see if I can learn something new.

I would like to make my own assets so I can rely less on marketplace. It adds up.

Next for the game jam game.

Implement power ups

Update damage handling events so I can override them with children.

Create projectile types for power ups

Enemy health pop up

I didn't stream it but I was able to do what I made a list for.

I have the rotation of player now to work in more that just 1 dimension of rotation.

As a bonus I have the movement also implemented with a blendspace.

New day. lets get some fun game dev done!

Plan for the day.

* Fix some bugs for current feature
* Add power ups to make killing enemies rewarding
* Implement a boss
* Change movement for 3 dimensions instead of just xy rotation. To implement some interesting boss fight mechanics.
Think time crisis

Added some assets from FAB. Trying to make it look like a game.

I can't do much modeling so I hope the asset flipping isn't too out of place.

Did a good amount of progress this time.

Got further in my game jam game.

Need to further flesh out the AI and the UI but it's getting there.

Once I have the game loop and some basic characters imported Ill work on the sound.

Unreal Engine MetaSound. I want to show you two things here, how you can simply make a short sound from a knock to a drop of water, and StereoPanner node - sound movement between right and left output

How do game devs keep updated with the game industry?
Any advice or pointers that y'all could give. I don't like spending too much time following headlines and such since I like being a developer more than marketing research even though its so important.

Currently learning the GAS framework for Unreal Engine 5.

Is a great guy that has many playlists that have continued to help me as I work on getting myself skilled in making games in Unreal Engine.

I will be exploring to see how to use this in Village Life.

Today I will be working on the game jam game. I have been putting it off for too long. Hopefully I get a good amount of it done.

I still need to work on my game jam game. Its going to be a impromptu tower defense type of game. Simple game where enemies are closing in to the player who needs to shoot at the enemies.

Since the theme is waves I was thinking of making the enemies be sent in "waves" with an odd Boss time to time.
November 20, 2025 at 5:25 AM
Current progress on current work.

I have done the following

1. Implemented Rhythm Mechanic to the game along with fixes to the rhythm boss fight.
2. Changed color of damage text based on character causing the damage.
3. Working on AI Boss fight to have some more phases to the fight.
