After a few weeks in the DaVinci and YT mines, it took some time to shake off the #UnrealEngine rust. Celebrated with some Niagara learning: mesh renderers and array randomizers, collision events, random rotation.

Rocks fall, everyone dies.

Experimenting with chroma keying my soon-to-be YouTube video avatar white cat (like my profile pic) and accidentally inverted the colors.

I've created a monster. 😨

As I've been falling more and more down the rabbit hole of movement games, I've really been enjoying freedom of movement, and the sword lunge technique feels SO good I want to find a future game to integrate it into.

Hope you're able to take the time that you need for yourself. β™₯️ Burnout sucks big time.

Very well! The pop filter's turnbolt is a great resting point for the back of the box, so it's consistently in the same spot. The only variable is where your head is when you speak, so I plan on making a chin rest so that distance is always consistent too. Big difference compared to blanket/nothing.

Oooh look at that! Foldable and with little stand/wire ports. Too bad It's $60 here in the states 😭 Gonna add this to the wishlist for the future. β™₯️

Took all of a day to yearn for a voice recording improvement, so the blanket needed an upgrade.

Necessity, meet invention. πŸ“¦

Recording voice lines for a YouTube vid about game development that I wanna make and discovered that my room is too big and echoey. I don't have a recording closet so... I improvised.

Behold! Peak voice recording setup. πŸ˜†

Haven't been posting as many development updates lately. Been solidifying my timeline for my game and working on polishing DaVinci skills, as I plan on trying to dabble in YouTube dev logs and memes as well. Honestly, Audacity and DaVinci work has been a nice break and fun to learn.

More to come!

They were right.

You start off by crouch slide jumping. Figuring out the grappling hook. Air strafing. You get your first taste of weightlessness.

Next thing you know, you're chaining wall jumps into sling shots and hitting the ground without losing momentum.

#Titanfall *is* a gateway drug. 😞

Still working on polishing the rough edges of particle effects and animation, but not a bad start. Loving how the shadows of this place feel mixed with the brightness of the torches.

If there's a wizard when it comes to knowing, appreciating, and designing movement in video games, it's this guy. πŸ™‚

That wizard math often goes over my head but this video was super informational and helpful with visuals. It's got me thinking how to add movement in my *own* game ideas.

Polish continues, this time with the Lore Compendium. A few rounded outlines, some nice texture pics, testing new fonts, and this is really starting to look quite nice. ❀️

Today's been a day of importing and implementing sound effects. Almost forgot the most important one, until I remembered the sage words of @imdreamwarrior.bsky.social 😌

Me when I try to wrap my head around data tables that can pull arrays of structs used for other data tables and I try to comprehend that it's just rows of data all the way down.

Learned how to tie collision hits on physics objects to sound cues, and Indie Game Dev has given me far too much power.

It's wild how a polished UI instantly gives a feeling of authenticity to your game. A cohesive color scheme, a few animations, and suddenly you realize how close you're getting.

Meme of the cat from the "Who knocked over my onions? YOU!" meme. A scared cat is getting grabbed and held against the floor with his mess apparent near him. A screenshot of an Unreal Engine menu is overlaid over top of him with red arrows pointing to a particular part of the menu.
