#unreal — Public Fediverse posts

While working on this part of the level, I added a segment where the ground launch ability really shines. When you don’t have enough space or momentum, you can use it to quickly build both and keep moving

I’ve expanded the surface detection system to the spears. They now detect what type of surface they hit and play the correct sound effect

Spent some time refining the effects for the launch ability. You can now charge crystals to launch up and forward, giving you a fast boost at the start

Added a crouching animation that I completely forgot to make before. I also adjusted the launch move so the two work better together

I am working on a new jump move for the player. From standing still or crouched, it launches you upward and forward to help get a running start

I needed a simpler way to detect what terrain is around the player. Right now it swaps footstep SFX from grass to snow, and later I can use the same system to switch particles for jumping, running and more

There’s now sound when you clean a checkpoint, along with some extra particle effects

Keep an eye out for hidden items and powerups along the way

I worked more on the corruption around the checkpoints. Now particles kick in as the checkpoint activates and the dark corruption starts dissolving

#indiegame #coding #dev #indiedev #unreal #madewithunreal #gaming #videogames #gameplay #3d #blender3d #ai #UnreaEngine5 #animation #shader #nature #coding #conceptart

I spent some time refining the checkpoints, experimenting with new effects and shaders

New checkpoint being added to this part of the level

A closer look to the winter landscape I have been working on

Been working on bounce pad variations so they feel more at home in the snow environment. I’ll be reworking the snow models and polishing the particles next

I’ve started working on a 3D model for the new enemy. It’s a plant-based enemy with dangerous spikes

#indiegame #coding #dev #indiedev #unreal #madewithunreal #gaming #videogames #gameplay #3d #blender3d #ai #UnreaEngine5 #animation #shader #nature #coding #conceptart

A bit of a smaller update today, but here’s some behind-the-scenes work on a new prototype enemy that fires spikes from the ground when the player gets close

There are still snow patches and some falling snow in this level, and I’m working out how to shape a few sections around them

#indiegame #coding #dev #indiedev #unreal #madewithunreal #gaming #videogames #gameplay #3d #blender3d #ai #UnreaEngine5 #animation #shader #nature #coding #conceptart

Found a few issues with the bounce pads that kept them from behaving as intended. They’re fixed now and feel much more reliable

#indiegame #coding #dev #indiedev #unreal #madewithunreal #gaming #videogames #gameplay #3d #blender3d #ai #UnreaEngine5 #animation #shader #nature #coding #conceptart

Been experimenting with new cliffs and rock shapes. Next step is optimizing them, probably by baking everything down to a cleaner low poly version

#indiegame #coding #dev #indiedev #unreal #madewithunreal #gaming #videogames #gameplay #3d #blender3d #ai #UnreaEngine5 #animation #shader #nature #coding #conceptart

I’ve been experimenting with background assets like rocks and cliffs to figure out how to make them more efficient. They still need some color tweaks, and they’re a bit too low poly for what I’m aiming for, so that’s next on the list

#indiegame #coding #dev #indiedev #unreal #madewithunreal #gaming #videogames #gameplay #3d #blender3d #ai #UnreaEngine5 #animation #shader #nature #coding #conceptart

I started building out more water and river areas in the level, experimenting with compositions and looking for strong landmarks to anchor the space

#indiegame #coding #dev #indiedev #unreal #madewithunreal #gaming #videogames #gameplay #3d #blender3d #ai #UnreaEngine5 #animation #shader #nature #coding #conceptart

I’ve been revisiting older level sections and found some great places to add the new bounce pads. They’re already making the flow feel much smoother

#indiegame #coding #dev #indiedev #unreal #madewithunreal #gaming #videogames #gameplay #3d #blender3d #ai #UnreaEngine5 #animation #shader #nature #coding #conceptart

I’ve been playing around with the bounce pads and realized they can send the player downward as well, so I’m using that to shape a new wall sliding section

#indiegame #coding #dev #indiedev #unreal #madewithunreal #gaming #videogames #gameplay #3d #blender3d #ai #UnreaEngine5 #animation #shader #nature #coding #conceptart

Tried bounce pads with wall sliding today. They nudge the player down the wall in a controlled way

#indiegame #coding #dev #indiedev #unreal #madewithunreal #gaming #videogames #gameplay #3d #blender3d #ai #UnreaEngine5 #animation #shader #nature #coding #conceptart

I got regular bounce pads to launch the player diagonally now. Planning to use them for climbing and descending sections

#indiegame #coding #dev #indiedev #unreal #madewithunreal #gaming #videogames #gameplay #3d #blender3d #ai #UnreaEngine5 #animation #shader #nature #coding #conceptart

Spent some time adding more detail and flora to the downward wall-sliding path, with a few fireflies drifting around to bring it to life

#indiegame #coding #dev #indiedev #unreal #madewithunreal #gaming #videogames #gameplay #3d #blender3d #ai #UnreaEngine5 #animation #shader #nature #coding #conceptart

Been adding more to the wall sliding and platforming section, with a few hidden powerups tucked away for players to discover

#indiegame #coding #dev #indiedev #unreal #madewithunreal #gaming #videogames #gameplay #3d #blender3d #ai #UnreaEngine5 #animation #shader #nature #coding #conceptart

One of the early builds had this cave section where you wall-jumped your way down. I’m rebuilding it now, trying to get that same sense of flow back

#indiegame #coding #dev #indiedev #unreal #madewithunreal #gaming #videogames #gameplay #3d #blender3d #ai #UnreaEngine5 #animation #shader #nature #coding #conceptart

Tested a new idea for cliffs that step down like a staircase. It’s not quite there yet, but I like where it’s heading
