My solo dev journey has taken me down the route of UI. I've made both a hotbar and a radial menu for my farming game. I'm going to pretend it is still #ScreenshotSaturday for #gamedev visibility purposes lol

But I'm learning a lot about Unreal Engine's UMG for UI. 😅😅😅

Oh I missed #WIPWednesday for my #gamedev lol... was on 24 hours of no sleep lol.

My solo dev journey has taken me into the realm of UI. It's not great... but it's something.

I'm grateful for assets from @selieltheshaper.bsky.social and @synty.bsky.social for saving me so much time. 💖💖💖

I'm currently building a "no code" system for making games, that is also extendable with Unreal Engine's new language #Verse.

The goal is to be able to rapidly build an early access quality game every 2 weeks.

This is a fun part of my workflow using a stream deck and AutoHotKey.

#GameDev experiment for my no code system using Unreal Engine's future language #Verse.

This is using no custom gameplay logic, just the pre-existing "devices" I've made, and I can put together this logic in an hour.

Goal is to enable Solo Devs to make initial game logic in less than a day 😉😉😉

Playing around with a fun little level editor that I'd figure I'd share for #ScreenshotSaturday.

This is using Unreal Engine's future #Verse language. Which I absolutely LOVE, despite its early form. 💖💖💖

This is one of currently 4 projects I'm using to test my no code system.

Hey #gamedev 👋👋👋

Wanted to share the progress of my first cozy game I'm working on as I juggle 4.5 projects right now as a solo dev.

It's inspired by Rusty's Retirement, Stardew Valley, and eventually Satisfactory.

Been fun nailing the lighting in particular for this one, Lumen is so good. 😊😊😊
