I’m doing solo gamedev. It’s not that Im greedy or trying to take everything on myself. Working freely without pressure is bliss. My imagination is the only limit. I wouldnt mind teaming up, but finding the right partner for such a long journey is hard. One problem could bring the whole project down

3D modeling is my wayout to not get burnt out from gamedev. I will take a moment to model this slowly. looks like I need to learn more about cloth rigging after this, but it is fun #blender #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #sologamedevelopment #3dmodeling

This visual debugger is a must when developing NPC in team combat I guess. Better than logs or breakpoints at least

Finally, combat system, still need a lot of thing to be improved. Still 1 active combo ability and several passive defense mechanism (sorry for the AI voice, I need it for sound map testing)

Migrating my existing model to metahuman latest version. I took this chance to remaster the model, hair and texture #gamedev #blender #substance3dpainter

I create separate parallel AI action for defense. Was using state tree event, but keep distracting current state. So I decided to make it separate process in parallel using actor component, it works nice. might fire event to state tree in some cases later #gamedev #ue5 #indiegame

State tree my beloved, bye2 behavior tree. I love the readability and debugging tools. We can define which states need tick operations and give better performance especially for interaction which mostly not required tick. #UnrealEngine #gamedev #indiegame

Team combat, yeah, headache, lol. need to add range and support behavior too #unrealengine5 #gamedev #indiegames

Switching input context, normal -> interaction -> combat -> normal -> inventory. Wait why it stuck in normal. Ok, lets do this even though i am sure it wont work. Wait, it works 💀

I underestimate UI, it has a lot of headache. This is pretty much basic feature for RPG I guess. I integrate this with official unreal GAS plugin for better scalability and combat integration

I ended up rewriting everything in C++. Blueprint is a nightmare when it comes to refactoring or when something breaks because of redirector issues #gamedevelopment #UnrealEngine

Procedural Maze, I think it would be a dynamic challenge if players could enter the dungeon to solve. Higher level No mini-map and bigger, but better loot
