Programmer art is never pretty, but when the tech works, its so darn beautiful.

Guys, Steven doesn't seem too happy. I think cart physics has become more difficult than he thought. #gamedev #indiegame #unrealengine #UE5 #pridemonth

Not too bad honestly, especially for a first attempt. What do you think can be improved?

How do you guys handle "rubble" 3d assets? Do you use scatter algorithms? Or simulations?

Brick by brick, the low poly graybox is underway!
I'm finding this step really helpful in solving the design problems that a blockout wouldn't have highlighted.

Number 1 most annoying thing in Unreal. Scaling multiple objects together. How is this still not a thing?

Quick fly-through of the level blockout. Any final tips? I think it feels good.

This is prototype B for the spiral tower. This time the camera follows the player. This has to be my least favourite solution, it's very disorienting and doesn't achieve any of my design goals. Gonna try out some of your ideas next!

This is prototype A for the spiral staircase. A tight, locked view with a "hole punch" view. I don't really like it, any ideas for a different approach?

Prototype ladders? Check. Prototype doors? Check.
I think next I need to model the Spiral Tower combat arena, gonna be a fun challenge!

The layout feels pretty good, I think this'll be enough for a vertical slice. Next is a playable whitebox

Finally! The combat flow is feeling smooth and robust! Took me a whole week of work, so glad to finally move on.
So, more art next? Maybe a whole environment?!

Enemies now have a root motion boost to help close the gap. Exaggerated example:

Got the camera lock-on working, some VFX and SFX as well. Collision is now a sweep. What next? Grapple system?

UNHINGED graphs are my favourite in Unreal, I literally cannot go to sleep until I get it out of my mind palace >>

Took quite some thought but finally, a clean and stable charged ability system! Animations are just prototype.
