Today is a #screenshotsaturday and I have sinned.

On one hand people prefer hand-drawn programmer art to the AI-generated.

On another - right now above me hundreds of TNT-equiped drones, and I'm too anxious to draw even the ugliest art of my life.
So I did placeholder. For a placeholder.
#gamedev

Yeeeeeah. State machines are awesome.
The more I use them, the more I like them

Some quality updates.
Fixes random jiggling of circled map points.
Now they behave properly like a good bush strokes.
(Had to move generations from Blueprints to C++)
#gamedev #indie #UI

Added a rest camp screen.
It's less then a doodle, but I call it programmer art. And I'm not proud of this one.

The question is, what is less morally wrong?
Show people my horrendously drawn placeholder, or use AI-drawn placeholder?

Both options seems equally bad

I feel it may be uncomfortable posting video of scene, which looks basically the same except few minor differences.

So maybe it's worth to do daily updates in text, and post videos only once in a week or two.

Added enemy generation for every level.
Next milestone - increase enemy stats with levels, and make testable prototype.

IT"S ALIVE!
Base map flow is finally ready.
Add enemy generation for empty levels, and will send it to #epic megagrant.

If you're making a game with simple AI behaviour, the checkbox "Generate navigation only around invokers" can save A LOT of time for you and player alike.

Working with the map today.
Some weird issues happens - map points losing color after restart.
Need to force set color when updating map elements on map.
#gamedev #indie #devlog #unreal

The demo day is one small step closer.

Now level chunks are spawned when map element clicked.
Proud of my progress

I solved it, it was easy - I had a wrong portal on the floor

I'm pretty sure this portal shall redirect player back to map, but for some reason it didn't.
Workiing on fixing it

Trying to make map feel good with gamma and background elements.
Any advice about better palette?

Added portals, as placeholder to end the level section.
Looking rough, but I need working mechanics for vertical slice
