Animated a new combat idle for my barbarian character in #Blender 🪓 I'm thinking it may be a bit fast for a casual idle. He looks a little out of breath. What do you think? Should I slow it down a little?

Took a small break from #UnrealEngine and #Blender learning, so not much to show today… But I’m not coasting! Spent some time in my secret dev lab 🧪💻, digging into research for my next #indiegame.
I’m itching to start… stay tuned — the reveal is coming! 🎮

It’s not a golden banana or a legendary loot drop… but it is collectable! 😂
The challenge was to find something to collect using only the map assets I had. May swap it out later, but the mechanics work! That’s a win in my book! 🎮✨

Built a mover component in #UnrealEngine to make a sliding door and a moving platform! It will take teamwork, timing, and just a dash of chaos to reach the goal… but that’s half the fun, right? 😎🎮 How should I use these to create challenges?

Welp… that didn’t go quite as planned 😅
The perfectionist in me wants to keep tinkering, but this lesson is just an intro to #Blender #Animation Time to accept — “good enough” is good enough!✨ Any tips as I move forward?

The learning course I’m following is for #UnrealEngine 5.2, but I’m on #UE 5.6 — turns out the Steam Subsystem had major changes!☠️
Spent way too long troubleshooting… but victory tastes sweet!🍾Hard-fought, hard-learned, and now I know better.💻🔥

Super hyped to finally learn how to bridge a main menu to the game session in #UnrealEngine 🎮
Until now, it’s all been about the game loop. I’ve been itching to figure out how menus fit into the bigger picture. Can’t wait to dive deeper! 🚀

Pro tip for fellow #UnrealEngine devs: don’t put your Main Menu widget logic in the level! 😅 Learned the hard way when my packaged build refused to show it. Moving the setup into the Controller fixed everything... after some painful head-scratching 🧠💥

Striking poses like I’m about to headline Fashion Week… but really, it’s just me and my viewport. Be honest — do I work the runway, or trip over it? 😂👠

I've already redesigned the armor for my Orcs three times, so I decided to work on the weapons until I feel confident enough to touch up the main models.

Fun fact: A client RPC only runs on the target client. That means only the player who triggered it sees the fire… so yes, Ricky Bobby really was on fire!🔥😂

I’ve been experimenting with FK vs. IK animations—I always assumed IK is just better than FK. But having tried it with arm swing I see that was a rookie thought… IK isn’t always the go-to solution! Arms have their own drama.😂💪
