Yeah that one hurts me too... Blocking out a level can help but then you feel wait will my assets work or wait is this fun... Or it looks so boring (cos you see it everyday) it's a hard one, but here's where it gets to be fun... You can talk to anyone about, feel free to DM me.

Game dev is fun until it’s NOT. So tell me what’s the thing that makes you question your career? 😂
UVs? Retargeting? Network replication? Waiting 45 mins for a cook?

Let’s suffer together.

Yeah for some reason there was that overly protective wave... Which didn't help...

It does, cos I alot of effort goes into just planing the song. it's just something I noticed with some friends and other people. They play games and turn the music to zero and open Spotify or something. Really can discourage musicians....

Been playing with the idea of having the background music fade into different tracks depending on where you are
What’s a game soundtrack that instantly puts you back in the world?

Unreal tip: Don’t use Tick for animation checks. Use AnimNotifies or Montage Branch Points (or even AnimNotify States for start/tick/end). Add an interface + call the mesh owner instead of casting. Cleaner, faster, safer.

AI is still a WIP but it’s alive 👀 they’ll chase + attack you in combat, then just go back to aimlessly wandering if you bail out of the fight 😂 baby’s first brain cells!

Ayyyyy 👀 check it… title menu is in!
Not even close to complete, but hey—it boots, it blinks, it has pretty little animations. That’s a win in my book 💖

Tasque Manager and Miss Mizzle from Deltarune.

In hack-and-slash games, what’s the move that makes you feel the most badass?

• Air combo juggles
• Dash-slash finishers
• Screen-wide magic nuke
• Perfect parry into counter

As much as I like this tool, I’m wondering if I could get Mandy’s movement system to pull sockets at runtime—then I wouldn’t need 60+ actors in a map, just the sockets 👀
You ever dig deep to see what tricks you can do to push your systems?

Thank you! The tricks I am using to get the best FPS and keeping pretty has been tricky.

Added a camera icon so it’s clear when you’re locked-on vs zoomed-out. No more guessing what the camera’s up to 👀

Just found out that my plans might take a full year to make FWTBT if I was a coder/designer while redesigning Starli/Andromeda💔💔💔
BUT I'M NOT GIVING UP, IF ANYONE CAN CODE OR LIKES PAPER MARIO OR WHATEVER, NOTE THIS, I SWEAR I WANT TO MAKE IT GOOD🙏
