Give yourself some credit! Not only is it luck, but someone has also seen the value of your hard work!

It is a privilege indeed

Since I started with game design I've tried to define what the fuck it actually entails. And honestly.. I still don't know, but I think that I've boiled it down to two words:

Empathy & Intuition.

Like, there's a million things adjacent to Design, but you really only *need* these two skills..or?

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!

seeing talking about nanite and lumen because of popular ue5 games all looking the same burns my mood like nothing else 💀
not even because of whatever discourse at the time is going on it just reminds me of my old job

I know this is not like a hot take but game jams fucking rock.
I'd love to host something larger if Timezones weren't a thing.

Had a small jam this weekend, if you're interested in the submissions ya got a link here:

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

Debating taking the plunge into learning Godot (for like the millionth time), do y'all have any cool tips and/or tips on understanding how the engine is structured and maybe something to think about from someone who has primarily worked in Unreal until this point?

Now this makes me happy, it looks beautiful !

Would love to see more of the plugin when it's ready :D

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.

Yooo, this looks sick! Love the art style so much!

Yesterday I started adding steaming-hot geysers and accompanying lilypad platforms! I also implemented a "lilypad seed" that can be used to grow your own platforms on water and geysers.
Is this a clever way to introduce the seed mechanic?

-- Unsolicited advice ahead --

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!

Crazy how far graphics have come in recent years 🧠💥

Super cute game, bound to be up someone's alley..and if nobody else than at least in mine :)

If you enjoy using it it's not a waste of money.

Alright! I'll check them out.

Thanks for answering some of my questions, and I wish you and the team the best of luck with the project 💜

I'd love to read it if you made one. Or talk in private! I've been thinking about making a point n' click, but never in Unreal so I'd love to hear what your experience 😁

I've hears so many mixed messages regarding Unreal's 2D, how does it compare in your opinion?
