Notes being used in game!
Still not sure on what I should call this game, do you guys think 'Dungeon Delver' is too generic?

Added a note reading mechanic!
And as always, everything is modeled, animated, and textures by yours truly. This project is slowly growing, follow for more updates and to be alerted when the play test releases!

Some misinformed people think that the Unreal Engine is unoptimized.
It only depends the developer takes the time to optimize or not. And this goes for all game engines.
Here is some footage of a level in my game running on 8gb of vram. An avg build.

A teaser for the alpha playtest coming out at the end of this month (or potentially mid-september).
I'll be posting the link to the packaged game here then so be sure to follow if you're interested!

Did I forget to mention I have an inventory system? I started this devlog after I made it- so here's me showcasing it.
Each item can be assigned specific uses dynamically!

Added a basic dodge mechanic!
Also I spruced up some of the combat and ai. Just trying to get it all to flow together better.

Now our lil' gobo can avoid enemies much more quickly by sliding beneath obstacles rather than slowly crawling!

Added a dialogue system to my game!
I still need to add graphics to the Ui, what I have now is just a generic placeholder. But the underlying logic is working well and is very dynamic.

Starting to refine my gameplay loop for the upcoming alpha demo!
Stealth, combat, exploration - all sharing a singular set of resources like stamina. Darkvision now costs stamina, as well as attacks. Lil' goblins get tired easy, so plan ahead!

Added a 'darkvision' mechanic to my goblin character!
Forget torches or flashlights - goblins can see in the dark whenever they want! Simply toggle dark vision with 'T' or any keybind of choice.

Stamina system added!
The gems are supposed to darken gradually as stamina depletes but as it is they're either completely lit- or completely dark. Rest assured this will be fixed by the time the alpha demo is released.

This was my favorite shooter growing up.
A rich freedom-loving capitalist named Carrington spent his money training up secret agents while teaming up with literal aliens called maians to combat corporate corruption and tyrannical galactic power structures.
10/10 retro game.

Added a Health bar!
I may make it to where the 'pulsing affect' isn't synchronized, and spruce up the icons themselves a bit.
I'll do the same system with green hexagonal gems instead as stamina later.

Sorry about the compression- had to make the video fit below 10mb. I made the 'shield block' sound by attacking a piece of wood with a wrench :3

Taking a tiny break this week, just making minor tweaks to the combat system to get it to where I want it to be for the pre-alpha demo build.
Added blocking and spruced up the attack animations / combo flow today.

Goblin character added to my game!
It's default is the knights crouching height- and it's crouch is more of a 'crawl', which means it can reach places the knight can't. Which evens the playing field.
The dagger is like a sword to this lil' guy.
