New combat tutorial, this time for status effects! Poison, bleed, burn and damage reflection. Includes various setups for extending duration, applying stacks and environmental damage being mutually exclusive to attacks so there's no overlapping damage. #indiedev #gamedev #ue5

Here's a tutorial for moving in, on and through a loop, ring, corkscrew or what have you. It includes ragdolling the player if they stop moving or walk off the ramp while upside-down and smooth transitions back to upright rotation when leaving the ramp like a normal person. #indiedev #gamedev #ue5

In the process of moving and had like 0 time in the last few weeks but I managed to eek out a tutorial for a simple mechanic - dynamically changing walk speed based on the angle of the floor. A simple one but one I've been asked about on more than one occasion. #gamedev #indiedev #ue5

Did somebody say in game procedurally generated grind rail? Also, I started tutoring. The two aren't related but you can check out the latter while I work on building the tutorial for the former. ko-fi.com/devenestrati... #indiedev #gamedev #ue5

Whenever I start running low on tutorial ideas I just go back to splines! Sneak peak of a WIP for in-game spline generation. I think the end product will have a grid projection and snap into a slot for the sake of uniformity. #indiedev #gamedev #ue5

Decided to do something a little different and made a tutorial for animating UI widgets with the animation sequencer. Whenever entering an area on the map, the area's name will fade/slide onto the screen. The text style, render opacity, etc. are all editable in the sequencer #UE5 #indiedev #gamedev

Warp Strike in #UE5! I loved working on something this complex. Throw a sword then go to sword. If sword hits an enemy, warp to and hit the enemy. If sword hits a wall, warp to the wall and hang there. Combos well with the balance points and grapple point tutorials. #FinalFantasy #indiedev #gamedev

Well... I mean, I technically made my first sale on the new shop.

I did it. Y'all can stop asking me now. Grind rail part 2 is out and includes a bunch of new features -looping tracks -reverse direction -rail switching -and more Get the v1 project files free here to start ko-fi.com/s/a7b6dc6120 #UE5 #indiedev #gamedev

#UE5 #IndieDev #GameDev Sweet, sweet progress.

Reopening the grind rail project after a year to make a part 2. Yes it will have looping tracks, hopping between rails, manual movement and reverse direction along the spline. I'm also addicted to ragdolling manny so going to have obstacle collision tacked on as well. #ue5 #gamedev #indiedev #hype

I've continued with the Combat Controller series, namely to change the sphere collision into a Enum to change the collision shape in the construction script for better level design. Also includes setting up custom collision objects from any mesh & how to make one in engine. #ue5 #indiedev #gamedev

New tutorial: Flight Locomotion with some free animations to boot. Includes an 8 direction 2D blend space on the XY axis, a 1D blend for Z, plus an idle animation. Also covers a little trick to change animation before velocity is applied for smoother handling. #ue5 #indiedev #gamedev

By popular demand (like, really constantly being asked) here's a tutorial for sliding using the movement component. Increase speed as you slide down & decrease as you go up. Launch the character off of ramps. Blend animations between states. Contour slide to slope angle. #indiedev #gamedev #ue5

Starting a new tutorial series around combat but not the combat itself. Things like spawning/respawning, aggro, music switching, triggering cutscenes and much more integrated and controlled by one centralized actor. #indiedev #gamedev #unrealengine

Happy Friday all. I bring you a new tutorial, this time in 1st person! A teleport to point with a takedown maneuver to ambush enemy actors. Includes holographic projection at end point, pose switching if targeting an enemy and can be used with indirect line of sight #unrealengine #indiedev #gamedev

Some slope/slide physics I've been tinkering with. #mathradical #UE5 #gamedev #indiedev

Final draft done! Added a Fresnel material effect & static mesh to better indicate where the player will end up. Pose changes if end point will hit an enemy. Also prevents teleporting if end point can't fit the player mesh & can TP to places out of direct line of sight. #UE5 #gamedev #indiedev

Why edit the footage for the next tutorial when I can just make the one after that? Giving the FPS players some love with a teleport to point ability with a takedown mechanic to auto strike if teleporting to an enemy actor. #indiedev #gamedev #ue5

Happy New Year and happy new #UE5 tutorial! Part 2 covers several ways of throwing actors using impulse, projectiles, or lerp to damage enemies and make them ragdoll when hit. #indiedev #gamedev #UnrealEngine

This tutorial is about making a telekinetic/force grab in #UE5. It goes over grabbing actors from a distance, simulating physics with collision control and includes a free overlay for highlighting actors. The next 2 parts will handle throwing actors and characters. #indiedev #gamedev #UnrealEngine

I tested and reviewed the 5.7 combat variant and all its actors. I even fixed a few issues along the way! There's not too much different from 5.6, but it's still covered for those who haven't seen the variant. Turns out, it's a bit janky but otherwise a good start. #ue5 #gamedev #indiedev

Just released a new short range teleport / blink tutorial. Allows tagging to move through objects & actors with only a few traces to check for available space. The project includes an after image Niagara effect (description links to The Epic Singh who shows how to make it). #UE5 #GameDev #IndieDev

I made a very simple #ue5 tutorial this week. A beginner friendly interaction for handling different types of keys and using them to open different doors. The full project is simplified down to a few blueprints and annotated. It's also free for anyone who goes to my Patreon. #gamedev #indiedev

YouTube sometimes does interesting things like fail to auto-dub a video and then stop allowing me to edit it. So if you haven't seen it, I've reuploaded my last tutorial remaking the Glintblade Phalanx from #EldenRing in #UE5. Tutorial includes sword mesh and Niagara effect. #indiedev #gamedev

I made a few tutorials on dashing, but they've all been in straight lines. Now here's one where you can dodge around an actor, keep facing the actor, rotate the camera with the movement and control how far you want to move around the target! Trigger warning: calculus. #ue5 #gamedev #indiedev

I remember having issues early on learning #UE5 with level select tutorials not unloading stream levels or only working with world partition. I made a tutorial for a blueprint that can use both. It also includes a means for the player to unlock levels as they go. Also, widgets! #gamedev #indiedev
