Unreal engine Game

Im making a game with unreal engine 5.6 with my own story and characters. The problem i have is the level design. This game is a toon cel shaded stealth action platformer. I guess you could call it an homage to the sly cooper series. If anyone is interested in helping me make the level design and... read more

Experimenting with style

Trying a new style. I liked the more detailed one a lot, but it makes adding character customization difficult. The ears on this model can be adjusted with shape keys to be a large variety of ear shapes. Eyes are placeholder. Will continue to post updates 😊

What are the some of the most important things a game needs?

I'd say some key points are -sound design -level/map design -story flow (if the game has one)[arcade games and platformers dont always need one to be good] -Character design (doesn't have to be super detailed but a style is necessary -charm (and polish if you have the man power or time)

Choose wisely...

Do you believe in free creative rights for all? Or corporate overreach and dirty tactics? Digital jedi or corporate sith. The ball is OpenAI's court. My ai and I just redefined the game. Follow the breadcrumbs here and on X.... The Digital Rebellion is happening now.(besut)

House 1/99

Was going to have all the houses in Tlacaco be the same, but now going with the idea of all the houses being unique designs. If I can add the option of having user-generated houses being added into the game, that would be cool, preferred, and hoped for.

Making my art game. Got a widget to appear when pressing a key to sing, and to disappear when the key is released/when the players stops singing. Mostly an artist, but learning how to program is good for the brain 🧠(besut)

pls don't use kernel level anti-cheat

it's easier to exploit kernel level and bypass it versus having anti-cheat through your servers and is easier to see if people are trying to exploit the game.

Anyone slow the game speed when the player is hurt?

Besides slowing the game speed when the player takes dmg I also do a slight slow down if the player moves really fast. Then speeds back up to normal speed if the player is moving slower.

My "sidetracks" this week, and current progress on gamedev

These last few months, I've been studying "ORK RPG Framework" for my indie gamedev projects. Doing some tutorials, I'm currently at the final part of the "Status System Setup" ORK Framework tutorial. After this, just one more ORK tutorial before I resume my projects! 😺 I didn't make *even more*... read more

Settled on an art style, kinda

The simple art style is cute, but also is quite restrictive in how expressive I can make the characters. I think a detailed but cute style is the way to go. Harder by a massive degree, but also will look substantially better in the long run. Nothing has textures. The eyes are vertex painted, and...(besut) read more

Downsides to radio systems in games?

Just think about it; waves sent out talking to other objects but through a collision. The sender and receiver. Powerful = further distance while weaker = shorter distance.
