I'm finalizing what the gameplay control in the surveillance camera will look like. Changed the post-processing Unreal Engine material, made my own version of the fisheye, more like the old screen, added glitches that have a breath. Now I like it! #gamedev #indiedev #scifi #videogame

One by One, If I Could Turn Back Time, Walking in Memphis, ... I could go on giving examples, but you already know who I'm listening to today. She's amazing. When I was a kid, I bought an audio cassette, one of my first, and it was these songs. Why? I still don't know. Cher ❤️

Wednesday, game dev, non-alcoholic mahito, or just water with ice and different flavors of syrup. Here's some Unreal Engine of various skittles splashes for you in this heat, Niagara in your room #gamedev #UnrealEngine #UE5 #indiedev

I think even I'm 69% sure Dr. Strangelove would like this. I hope you appreciated the joke and what you see on scene, and those who didn't, watch the movie How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)

Mystery is one of the things a player wants to experience. Right? If you follow the game's devlog, you already know that in CHARGE.R will be a lot of puzzles and riddles related to the environment you are in and the technology #WishlistWednesday #gaming #indiegame #gamedev

This mysterious device had been lying around for over 10 years among my various retro tech junk. This is a type of scanner for radio emitters, bugs, phones and visual search for surveillance cameras. The paranoia of some of my clients has been an interesting experience

I started expanding the terminal behavior. I did the first draft last year, and now I'm finally back to finish it. Smile. This is a song from 1978. Y.M.C.A. by Village People. When I hear it, I think of Brendan Fraser and Christopher Walken in movie Blast from the Past

My night game dev with Unreal Engine. Blueprint with Сable Component monitors the length every 0.5 seconds if it attached and can be disconnected + transmitting a signal to other actors. The battery wants to go somewhere else #gamedev #UnrealEngine #UE5 #indiedev

Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells. 3 of 5 are downloaded to my brain. I ordered the 4 + 5 book, I'm waiting. The main character is an introvert. I completely understand him or her. I think synthetic intelligence should not have a gender unless it is a simulation of earthly life.

Another old thing from my chest of the past (Hack the Planet). When located near a transmitter, such as a walkie-talkie, this scanner would show the frequency. If u have a talkie device, you could tune to that frequency, listen or make broadcasts, notify people in the subway

Before game dev, my life was connected with dozens of programming directions, and there were many hobbies. For example, in my chest of old devices I found this: a RFID cloner, readers and NFC writer. It was 12-15 years ago, I remember almost nothing, it's like another life

Monday, a hard day. Traditionally from alien, i.e. me, a brain workout with Unreal Engine (Noise, BumpOffset, VectorToRadialValue, Panner). A little coffee or tea, and then go ahead and continue working on the game #gamedev #UnrealEngine #UE5 #indiedev

Exponential Height Fog is OFF, old school is ON. My fake light for screens in Unreal Engine. I once showed another similar material, so now I'll show you a small piece of material for screen, a node that rotates the panel is core. Fantastic? Brilliant? #gamedev #UnrealEngine #UE5 #indiedev

There is such a node in Unreal Engine - CheapContrast. I made a pizza in 5 minutes, just by throwing sausage, onion, tomato, cheese on pita bread... and just heat it in a pan. I call this node Cheap Pizza

Sunday game dev with Unreal Engine. Coffee and brain awakening. A little fact from Niagara about "Avoid Distance Field Surface GPU". #gamedev #UnrealEngine #UE5 #indiedev

Binary code lock on the door, 0 and 1, it's like Morse code. I also added the ability to turn your head during this gameplay. A small feature, but adds a bit of realism #gamedev #indiedev #gameplay

CHARGE.R@charge-r.bsky.social · 4d ago

Hello gamer, hello SCI-FI traveler. Do you like combination locks? If not, you'll love binary code locks. It'll even be in the demo. 4 characters 0 and 1, this is what converts to 0-F · · · − − − · · · #ScreenshotSaturday #indiegame #scifi #gaming #gamedev

My night game dev with Unreal Engine. Exponential Height Fog is cool, but I did it without the light and this fog. Old school, I showed an example of the material not so long ago. Now the terminal screen glows without the light and fog. #gamedev #indiedev

You know, right? This thing in Unreal Engine called Exponential Height Fog. I tested it several times, but deleted it because it wasn't the right time. This time has come. I thinking... I'm afraid, because I it need to raise the settings to the level of shadows in high ;( #gamedev

Another terrible night, many rockets, explosions, deaths. The terrorist country continues to demonstrate its essence to the world. This will continue as long as it is beneficial to other countries' governments. Everyone knows the truth, and continues to play for their own interests

Friday, cleaning and laundry day. Why? Because weekends for indie devs are not a vacation, we need to do something interesting! For example, start doing something you've been putting off for a long time.

Alien 👽 Max | gamedev 🇺🇦@alienmax.bsky.social · 5d ago

I have an archive of everything I do, over 2 years with Unreal Engine, I've accumulated a thousand videos there. Sometimes I forget what's there, so I have to watch it more often. Here's an example of the gameplay of wiping the surface. Cool! I need this for the Moon.

Friday game dev with Alien, coffee, Unreal Engine, minute of brain training. Interior Cubemap and a simple way to project a circle onto a far wall. Where are my 10k followers? But for starters I'll be happy with 5555 #gamedev #UnrealEngine #followfriday #UE5 #indiedev

That's what I meant. Only such light things can add something that a light source on the ceiling or wall can hardly add and the wire for more atmosphere. Remember the energy bridge? I figured it would be better to add a state to it, a complete shutdown, so that it would be dark

I decided that for the classic atmosphere, there should be lamps lying on the floor. Inside Unreal Engine in modeling mode (haven't practiced for a long time), I created a cube, then started to twist something and didn't notice how I did this, a draft in 5 minutes for Spot Light #gamedev

GPU Baked light. I'll call this final version of one of the scenes that will be in the demo (I tell myself this dozens of times and improve something again). There's a lot to talk about in this piece, for example, dynamic cables with emission, baked clones #gamedev #UnrealEngine #indiedev

Hello traveler of mysterious spaces and puzzles. Do you like riddles? If the color of your charge from the device that creates the arc won't activate the device, then you probably need to change the color or find a mediator. For example, this robot #indiegame #scifi #gaming #WishlistWednesday

The night was scary, lots of explosions. Several were very close, one wave shook the house a little. I was looking through my archive of Unreal Engine materials on my laptop, found this one, forgot I did it in the winter when there was no electricity for almost 12 hours every day

Hey programmer! In Unreal Engine 5, every component in the Blueprint has the "Start with Tick Enabled" parameter enabled by default. Do you turn it off, or do you think UE5 is smart enough to ignore it if there is no Event Tick inside? #gamedev #UnrealEngine

I felt how neural network of my brain works. For several weeks I spent hundreds of experiments with lighting in Unreal Engine, hundreds of changes in level design. Having accumulated information from experience, I draw conclusions, I see many shortcomings in previous videos demos
