Wonderful that you share your story!
I think getting into any creative field is gonna be a lot of hard work that may not feel "worth it" until you manage to get a position that will pay your bills. But when you do, that hard work really feels rewarding.

While I tend to agree with you I think a game like V-Rising needs the "incremental stat boost" so that a person with Tier-2 items don't completely steamroll someone with Tier-1 items, and seeing how the game is designed with PVP in mind that becomes an important aspect of it!

It's been very nice to work with during solo projects and gamejams.
I did find that their merge tool was quite subpar, but I haven't had any other issues with it!

Would probably start with the nodes, scenes and what happens from start to finish of a play session! .. but isn't it inevitable to end up in the source code at some point? :b
I appreciate the resource! Will be sure to check it out

Games of all engine release in broken and unoptimized states. Unreal is not a inherent problem, it's a tool just like Unity, Godot, Gamemaker or any other engine. There are also great and optimized games being released using UE5!
Personally I think the issue lies more in company culture than tools.

If you want a great resource for learning UI development in Unreal (and other cool tips and tricks) I recommend checking out benui.ca. He even has a video called "Intro to making UIs in Unreal Engine 5" and I think he is one of the most consistent sources I've used!
