You know what I was thinking about while lying in bed trying to sleep... Creating indie games is the most difficult and exhausting process. You can do thousands of different things thousands of times faster where the result is quickly converted into money. Sometimes I want to feel it. For example, food production, souvenir creation, 3D printing, photography, farming...

What would you like to do besides gamedev?

How long have you been a #gamedev or dev software?

@risingtail cool, that's a long way to go

I created a new gameplay prototype for the protagonist's mechanics, a shocker that will have multiple uses. In addition to protection from monsters, the main thing is charging for various types of electrical devices that will give a temporary effect. It will be very interactive

An example of interactive and level design: imagine a corridor that leads to different rooms, there is no electricity, along the walls there are places for distribution blocks of electrical wiring, if you hit them with a shocker, they transmit electricity to lighting, opening doors, household appliances... this effect lasts for a few seconds. If you direct the shocker to other places, the discharge can damage the object, for example, the lighting will light up very brightly and break

Finished the prototype of the scanner for the rover. Visually in game it will look different, but conceptually it will be like this: material draws everything, the blueprint check collisions, creates and transfers to the material a small render texture with target points

Today I want to make a scanner, blueprint for searching objects and transferring data to this material, which will display everything (many targets). This requires an array, but material cant use array. I found a solution - Render Target 2d. Maybe there are other options?

Computer Vision gameplay mechanic... I changed the way markers are drawn by Draw Material Simple node. This method allows you to use material, where you can make animation. But it works only in HUD Blueprint in Event Receive Draw HUD

I am working on a new little game mechanic... a Computer Vision (CV) of the protagonist, an assistant program for identifying the objects he sees.

What I do: in the Blueprint -> Box Trace for Objects -> save Locations to array... In the Widget -> OnPaint function -> Draw Box

To be continued...

UFO detected 🛸I created another scanner, where the pulse goes from the center in all directions. The material will receive data from the blueprint to display the position of the targets. Look for previous versions in my feed

@maxim@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

Added a target for the scanner. The idea is that the blueprint transmits data to the material for drawing found moving objects. I still need to figure out how to make a delay for target display and target array processing

It's time to open the section - demonstration of materials (shaders) in Unreal Engine 5, because I started doing this more and more often. This will be part of the screen panels in the Rover in my Sci-Fi adventure game

I had a brilliant idea for a game in Unreal Engine 5. I decided to write about it, because I will not do it myself, maybe you will like it and make an indie game... It can also be a mobile game.

Slap fighting = Chaos Flesh + MetaHuman
The main focus is the detailing and physics of the face. This is a sports game where you have to choose a character and train him and take part in various face-slapping battles. Write in the comments your ideas for this concept

How slap fights work. Power Slap fights are typically three to five rounds. The fighters take turns hitting each other in the face with an open hand, and those on the receiving end stand with their hands behind their backs. A fighter has up to 60 seconds to recover and respond after receiving a blow

I did this a few months ago. Now I'm thinking if it would be ok to use it for a wheeled Rover. If gameplay is 1st person view and wheels will not be visible during the movement of the rover. Activate the complex suspension and wheels where the camera will be 3rd person

Today in Unreal Engine I experimented with materials. I'm trying to figure out how to make an animated grid for scanning space, something like Terminator. My task - animate one cell that moves on the grid.

I want to create material for a widget. It is easier to do it in the widget itself, use only a simple material that draws the grid, and make the movement of the cell itself through a sequence in the widget

I feel more confident and ready to make a Sci-Fi adventure game. My result of studying the Unreal Engine for May 2024, the 3rd month of the transition from Unity to Unreal

Variants for what it can be: nanorobot technology, which must be delivered through a laser into the rock, when the bot gets inside it extracts material and comes out already in a different state, this can be collected in a separate stack

Where can it be used in the game? A mysterious altar in a cave, a cooling system after the landing of a spaceship, a room with cryocapsules...

I haven't drank alcohol for several years... The last time I drank 0-alc beer was six months ago. My wife and son went on vacation for a month and left me alone at home. Therefore, I will be a Troglodyte for a whole month, living in a cave and do #gamedev

On the left can of #beer it is written that it contains vitamins, the best format of taking vitamins... this is the most delicious non-alcoholic beer I have ever tasted

In the night there was a strong thunderstorm, a lot of lightning and loud thunder that sounded like explosions... Don't be surprised if there was something like that somewhere

It already looks like gameplay and prototype game mechanics... A collection device with a limit, a device for accumulation and whatever. What's next? Make a Ghostbusters energy trap?

Today in Unreal Engine 5, I finally did it… Niagara System on GPU without event collision. I transfer the position of the collector to Niagara, calculate the distance there, and through the Export Particle Data to Blueprint module catch the supposedly collision, which I count as a particle collected, on the emitter side the Kill Particles module does a similar check

@mehdi_benadel I don't have any experience at all, I've been learning the engine for 3 months, but simple complex things can be done with simple approaches... I agree, writing custom modules in Niagara is difficult
