Sprites, not stories. Some day Bsky will let us fix typos.

I thought you used PaperZD stories! I never really realized they were actual models?!

I mean, it's not that surprising when you realize Titanfall and Apex are made in a modified version of Source.

I'm not really familiar with current GameMaker Studio 2, but I made several fun Star Wars, Sonic, & Naruto fan games back on GameMaker 7 in the PopCap days. This was in the late 2000s, but it was super simple with the visual nodes based programming. That whole vibe is why I chose UE over Unity.

I wonder how many hard references they're casting to to make it after this bad, because what the shit.

It's definitely different levels 😅 But same topic! I develop in Unreal, so I've been keeping an eye on it. My hope was to learn UE because I figured it was inevitable that they'd move to it, and then I could hopefully work on Halo.
