I am prototyping a "create an image out of abstract shapes"-mechanic, and this is the very first iteration!

starting to build some new "Levels" for ABSTRACTICA... well they are more stages than levels. I am trying to make the level so it always has a clear goal, in this case the level exit.
Time to add some enemies then!

for someone that does know very little about colors and such I sure do spent a LOT of time on coloring my game.
my color palette now consists of the very delicate selection of EVERY COLOR THERE EVER WAS?!

Do you like adding abstract upgrade cubes to a weapon?
Do you appreciate seing what that upgrade actually does in a UI?
Then wishlist ABSTRACTICA on Steam, and follow me here for updates on development!

me: I am forcing myself to not get lost in perfection and not start refactoring the project.
also me: *spends 3 days refactoring the upgrade logic*
But hey, everything is quite robust now, and I can start designing some of these proper upgrade cubes.

You may not like it, but this is what PEAK Gameplay Ability System usage looks like (pls help I have no idea if this attribute system will work but I am too far down the road to stop now)

the amount of times there is an "apparently" in my comments really tanks my self-credibility in terms of game dev knowledge.
on the other hand, if it works, it works!

Alright gang, what do we think of the new damage and heal SFX in ABSTRACTICA? 🔺
Tried to be abstract with it, but also clear in terms of feedback of what is good for the player and what is bad.
Also, the healing VFX is new. 💥

So... algorithm is a headscratcher it turns out. While my "Early bossfight demo" short on youtube did 5k views, a very short snippet of the new display changer sound only did around 36-ish?
Well, the fucking around and finding out continues!

A secondary ability I've recently been working. You can pick up these attachments for your mask, and then you gain the ability to fire small rockets at all remaining enemies in the room!

So my #unrealengine game is basically ignoring everything that makes Unreal 'unreal', so I am looking into what are default settings that I can disable. I am purely using unlit materials, simple geometric shapes, and one (1!) char mesh with about 11k tris.
Any suggestions?
