My plans - start making sound design for the demo. So everything you see this week will be from the past. This was the first gameplay of cleaning, the dirt texture is not a decal, after 6 months I redid it for the cleaning robot and decals #UnrealEngine #indiedev #gamedev

11.11 here's something mystical and Sci-Fi for you

Game design, such as the sequence of actions in the environment between objects after the player's actions, can be seen and found anywhere. My son loves Gravitrax, he's a fan. Today I realized that my game has some similar actions and visual design. #gamedev is everywhere

This is one of the prototypes of what I call energy Sci-Fi Skittles. I think it's clear why. I haven't eaten these candies in a long time

Electricity is on schedule, I decided to stay awake, so I ate jam, drank tea and worked with Unreal Engine. I made the final text for Terminal, now collecting screenshots and videos that I made before (hundreds) for the Steam page. This week is the chosen one, the time has come.

and this, I did this last year when I was experimenting with effects and physics in Unreal Engine, but the idea of ​​combining it together only came to me today #scifi #gaming #videogames #gamedesign

Due to the night attack of evil, we have no electricity all day. Therefore, Unreal Engine is postponed, I'm writing texts for the game. I had an idea that - I won't say, but it's a combination of this and ⤵️

Friday's Unreal Engine for me was about doors. Do you like doors in games? Do you like the band The Doors? I listened to their songs a little to get inspired and then I created Niagara, now the doors open epically, more Sci-Fi #UnrealEngine #gamedev #indiedev #UE5

Hello sci-fi lovers, hello programs, hello gamers... There will be something in this place that absorbs energy, it will suck your spirit, robot, so be careful. But it is not evil, it is technology that gives energy.

Now I definitely did it. Am I a super genius? Or maybe Wile E. Coyote? Generate a texture with text in any language and font for the decal and a customizable frame. Now I will write on the walls. Unreal Engine my cave

I finally feel like I've mastered the art of creating indoor level designs, but not 100%. It's not perfect, but it's better than it was at the beginning of this year. It was originally a schematic, which you can see in the previous post #gamedev #indiedev

Did you think that was all? No ;) This time the material Blend mode is Translucent. if turn on Focal Distance in Post Process Volume, we see light... f%ck-up focal-up. Today Niagara and Unreal Engine opens up new fun for me #UnrealEngine #UE5 #gamedev #uetips #indiedev
November 4, 2025 at 9:07 PM
Did you think that was all? No. Another Unreal Engine WOW question. For Niagara, I change the Blend mode of the material from Translucent to Masked, and then light appears. WAT? I didn't know that #UnrealEngine #UE5 #gamedev #uetips #indiedev

When there is no electricity and it is dark, I work on my laptop, for example today on diagrams from which I will later make a level design in Unreal Engine, and listen to GUNSHIP music. Sometimes my son brings me a bunny-firefly, which changes my mood #indiedev #gamedev
