In the past year I have completed 4 prototypes and 1 major patch release.
Was I spinning my tires on those little games or did I need those experiences to be ready for the next big one?
Either way, I found it and I'm ready to take it all the way.
Thank you all for your kind words.

Looking for people's thoughts on Steam Remote Play:
-How was your experience with Steam Remote Play?
-What games have you played on it and how many people were connected?
-How was the lag?
-How did it compare to something like Parsec? (if you have used that)

Any need by #UnrealEngine users for an analog controller plugin?
It converts player input into 360 degree values, normalized values, and square coordinates.
It also gives designers a quick way to change deadzones.
If there's interest I can go thru the effort to make it available (free)

Continuation of my #nhl sprites. I can paint team "kits" in a generic .png file and apply them to a model that mimics UV maps, but for #pixelart.
This way I only have to draw a sprite once and then I can create new team variations quickly.
I think this is similar to how they did it for NHL94

In my game, you play as a 🐦birb. You've got a wacky beak that can be used like a springboard to launch around levels.
Not persuaded yet? There's also an 🐘elephant with a wacky trunk that can grab things.
Still not convinced? How about 75% off?

Trying out some low poly modelling with low resolution texturing. My first experience in Blockbench. Even if it is missing functionality that Blender has, I found it more fun. I think the limitations help with establishing a style!

I've been working on custom client authoritative movement AND abilities. The client pawn is using two abilities; a jump and then a "pounce". Net simulation is "bad" (100-200 ping with 5% loss).
The client appears smooth on the server and gives a great experience for the player.

Hey #gamedev, add accessibility options and button customization. It gives people options to play the way that's best/most expressive for them.
It was a pita to make them but I'm glad I did, and so is this lovely reviewer.

It's better to be cooking than to be cooked.
So when you're cooking that's good, but if you're cooked that's bad. Never stop cooking?

Any unreal developers looking for client authoritative pawn movement and abilities?
I have been refactoring my own plugins for this and wondering if it is worth it to spend some extra time polishing and releasing it for others.

I was able to create smooth custom client authoritative movement and abilities (jump and air attack in this video). The client is the top frame and the server is the bottom. Tested with network emulation profile = bad (1-200 ping with 5% packet loss for client and server

Re-imagining levels for different characters is really fun. In this case, I added some platforms to keep Rupert bouncing because he doesn't have a wall slide like Kiopioke and his hit box is a little different too. Both factors change the timing just enough to matter.
