There were many tutorials regarding how to implement a lock-on system. Since so many games have their own way of handling it, there are definitely many ways to do it. I watched a few and found the one that seemed the most straight forward. With it being relatively basic compared to the others I couldContinue reading "A step towards new heights"

The world of sound design is so wonderful and flexible. I finished the lesson and I have a whole new appreciation for those who work with the audio of video games. Well this whole game development journey has given me a look behind the curtain, a rather basic one so far, but my love forContinue reading "Designing audio"

The lesson I started today was about dynamic audio. Setting up sounds that matches certain events, sequences, animations, and more. I didn't finish the course because I wanna leave the last parts for next week since I had a long day and I already updated a lot in the game based on what I learned.Continue reading "The incredible world of sound"

I even got a lesson in organizing the variables in my blueprints which was very useful because my player character is full of variables I took the time toContinue reading "Sounds and more"

I got some place holders for the music from an online source that has a ton of cool tracks. Most if not all of them are from some guy called Kevin Macleod. So thank you Mr. Macleod. I started the day going back to Beepbox trying to make my own music that I would like.Continue reading "Marching to music"

At this point I have been going down many rabbit holes to create the foundation of the game, and I know I'm not very deep into many of them. As expected there aren't aContinue reading "Whip cracks and footsteps"

Power was out most of the day yesterday because of a typhoon. I got up today with a flaming rage to work. Which is apt, because I added flame projectiles today. I dug through the crash logs, it wasn't very deep and I noticed the TargetSystem pop up at least twice. I removed it fromContinue reading "Two days gone, none a day wasted"
