Feels unreal finally being able to play through a full gameplay loop in my game! Still a ton to polish and improve.

With all these new free AAA shooters dropping, I’ve been feeling pretty down lately about my solo adventure into making one. Still, I’m gonna keep grinding and finish this game. Hopefully I’m not deep in a sunk cost fallacy😅.

Still working on the bot AI system. It’s taking way longer than I expected 😅
For now, here’s a quick clip of the weapon switch system in action!

Turned this bug into a feature 😅, using it to sync FPS and TPS animations and check what’s replicated and what’s not. #indiedev #UnrealEngine #gamedev #indiegame #solodev

Why does it always feel like my game gives players less screen space compared to others?
Here’s a side-by-side with CS2 (and yes, I aced with a pistol 😎).
My hand model’s smaller, HUD tighter, maybe it’s the level design or scale?

Which one do you prefer: a hit-scan sniper or a projectile-based one?

Your team would get a point if you secure the payload to your base.

Much better movement. Now I need to carefully adjust the spline and match the wheel movement with speed.

Just got to work and saw my mouse is not working.
I love my co-workers 😅. It made my day 😁🤣🤣.

Flawless movement! @unrealengine.bsky.social offer me a job, I might accept 😎😎.

Does anybody else doodle like me to figure out how to program a gameplay feature? 😅

Ah… the good old shotgun. Why is it that in competitive shooters they’re either overpowered or completely useless? Any design tips to strike a better balance? (GodMode is on in this clip so I don't take damage 😅)

After lots of tries I built a delivery system: pipes carry resources from the mountains to a refinery, then out to both camps. I made sure both tracks are equal so no team has an advantage.
What do you think of the layout?

Now . . . Do you think this is the right behavior for a heavy weight trolly moving on a metal track? 🤔😅

Finally got a cart working with the new Chaos Modular Vehicle system in UE5.6! 🚗 The modularity makes things so much easier to set up. Highly recommend giving it a try if you’re experimenting with vehicles.

Added some AI to test combat. Not satisfied yet. shooting & movement don’t feel crisp enough. Hitting that sweet spot will be worth it!
How does it look?

"I’m new to level design, but I’ve started shaping my main level! The core idea revolves around controlling water sources. I managed to carve the main map out of some awesome assets from @synty.bsky.social.

Any suggestions?"

Fine-tuning the new smoke grenade ☁️. Making sure it feels right in both gameplay and visuals.

How do you feel about it so far?

Cooking up a Molotov that spreads to nearby surfaces. Still early days, lots of work ahead!

SAM12 – The fastest SMG in the game! ⚡ With a fire rate of 1600 RPM, it shreds through enemies in an instant. Speed, power, and control—can you handle it? 🔥

Check out the new smoke!
Inspired by CS2, it’s fully volumetric, blocks vision realistically, and feels great in gameplay.
Just added it to the test map for combat trials.

Sorry for the long silence! I'm slowly getting back to work, starting by testing environment parameters to check player visibility and scale. Big thanks to @synty.bsky.social.

After nearly 11 months of refining combat, netcode, movement, and animation, it's finally time to dive into level design and gameplay! Excited to shape the experience. What do you want to see in an online first-person shooter?

VSR – the cheapest rifle, but don’t underestimate it. Equipped with a silencer, it delivers 30 damage per shot with a rapid 0.1s fire delay. Reliable, stealthy, and cost-effective.
