We made a little GIF showing how our main character evolved during development 🐾
Prototype to now we softened her features and made her cuter, we wanted to show how she evolved.
Curious what you think?

Hey I implemented a conveyor belt! Neat!
Never made one and honestly I was expecting it to be more complicated than it ended up being. Go me!
Glad it's working as well as it is. Which means I got more time to move on to other stuff I need to do :D

I feel the TargetActor concept itself is easy to grasp and I see why it's handy... but how to output the TargetData to the Ability in question... I had a lot of trouble wrapping my head around that😵💫
But look at it! It does the thing!!!!
(2/2)
Needed to implement an ability that targets in an area around the player and fires 1 projectile per target when the player releases the button
Since I'm using GAS I took this as an opportunity to learn about TargetActors and... I figured it out! (1/2)

All the time spent learning to do basic animations was just so I could do a proper implementation of these 2 character's attacks and have animation-driven timings instead of artificial ones
Now it's time to move on to the super secret third character :x
#unrealengine #indiedev
I hate the mannequin, I need it to go away I'm sick of it. but idk how to rig/animate... except I NOW DO
I finally added sword combo anims and... LOOK AT IT! ITS GREAT! IM SO HAPPY! AND I CAN TWEAK THE ANIMATIONS HOWEVER THE FUCK I WANT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Wind Trails are cool, everybody knows that. BUT. Wind Trails that follow a spline? That's where it's at.

We shipped a Mixed Reality game on Thursday, where a magical animal shows up at your house and needs a place to stay.
It doesn't have any guns, or even any murders, except about a thousand years ago in the backstory that hasn't been revealed.

Alright I think this should fix the issu... oh.
Yeah sure Unity, take your time, I'm sure the 50 characters I added must be giving you a lot to think about.
No worries.
That domain sure needs completion alright.
I'll do something else in the meantime I guess.
#gamedev
Fixed a sneaky bug in @stayforeverhome.bsky.social that involved items rescaling. Funny, but problematic
Putting an item in a slot? Fine. Having the slot rescale and then pulling the item out? Nooo no no, thats bad
NOT TRIVIAL I SWEAR, items are hard ok?
#unityengine #gamedev
LOL I love everything about this I should do the same
guess you definitely cannot kill that which has no life huh?
