decided the change the general vibes of these guys to be more feral and use their claws instead of weapons, also got health and poise attributes working along with knockback and death Gameplay abilities.

Im trying to add hit reactions to the lizards but instead I managed to turn them into weeb ninjas.

Thanks to my hot programmer GF I now have GAS implemented!
all the attacks and dodges are now abilities with stamina costs and the stamina is used to influence the utility of those abilities!
Also Damage is now much easier to implement (hence the capsule traces on attacks)!
#gamedev #indiedev

Did some small improvements to the Toadboii's state tree and movement stats so they feel a bit more skittish and slippery when fighting.
Next I'll look into giving them some small avoidance so they dont bump into each other so often!

Fixed some of the animation/facing and AI issues with strafing and attacking, but I'm starting to realize I my poor mans blueprint GAS is probably more trouble than implementing the real gameplay ability system🫠

adding some more combat behavoursto the toadguys and finding all sorts of weird bugs.

Got some family ties using gameplay tags now!
goats and lizards recognize each other and then form hierarchies based on scale.
so now lizards know to go after goats and goats know to run away from them, while little guys follow larger ones to give some semblance of hearding.
#gamedev

Finally got some basic perception going for the goats and the lizardudes!
#gamedev

also did this just to make them creepier at night.

testing out the 5.6 retargeting features in unreal and the scale modifier is a huge help

now that I can trigger anims from my state tree I decided to improve my old floaty animations with some nicer stuff and I have to say #UE5 #animation retargetting has come such a long way since the last time I tried it!
#gamedev #gameart

got them to animate using gameplay tags from the state tree!
theres still a lot of polish missing but at least the idea is there.
#UE5 #gamedev #wip

The fluffly goats are getting smarter! they now realize when they are stuck and choose different paths so they are less likely get stuck performing strange ritual circles.
#wip #unrealengine #gamedev #gameAI

Trying my hand at a custom quadruped AiMoveTo function in #unreal Hoping to give these guys some more life.. and brains?
#gamedev #Indiedev

back to my own game stuff!
I did some skinning straight in UE5 and I have to say I'm happy to be able to test skinning on the actual animations and tweak them on the spot.
