Setting it up so standing on a steep slope makes the player slide down, only issue now is it's based on player facing still haha

hay hay… nothing flashy today, just saving + loading magic 😂
you can’t tell I unlocked moves yet (no UI for that lol), but it all works under the hood!

tiny save files working = victory 💾✨

question for devs & gamers: what’s one feature you always test first in a game?

Need to peel myself off of iterating on the outfit for now, I think it's in a passable state. Next stop is gameplay stuff! (I swear!) ((Probably simple traversal methods, stay tuned!))

So lucky Epic Games included a bad guy detector as a visualizer for me. 😇

Added reverb in large zones to the game. Players are about to get extremely noisy, I can feel it

To simplify adding buildings to the environment and avoid the "sticker" effect (where a building appears to float over the background), I created a script that automatically adds grass sprigs from the atlas along paths.

Hey there!
Floor 2 is finished, and with it my work on the mines is done for now!
Watch out for the two new items on this floor: The switch and the super spike!
Figuring out how to deal with these traps will be key to making the most out of this floor.

I’m working on MeloMisterio!
Because I want to make sure it runs at 30 fps on Steam Deck.

So many small things go unnoticed in a finished game. I feel like this is a nice example of a day of work that no player will ever realise is there (hopefully).

Saturday Unreal Engine. Here is an example of how to make a MetaSound Patch of several modulations to create a rhythm wave. When the wave goes beyond the edges of our ear, you can use a One-Pole High Pass Filter for this #UnrealEngine #gamedev #UE5 #sounds

New HP Bar designs for Astropods 2: Unnamed. These feature a slightly curved diamond shape as the portrait art border.

Old HP Bar designs for Astropods 2: Unnamed. These had a shining star shape to them, which look cool, but...isn't the most space efficient.

This #screenshotsaturday we have an updated HP Bar!

I wanted the portrait art to be bigger, so I made a more space efficient design. I did like the old design's silhouette tho.

TBH I may update it again to have even more art space, but this will do for now.

I think the leaves in the air give a pleasant feeling.
