Feels unreal finally being able to play through a full gameplay loop in my game! Still a ton to polish and improve. #indiedev #UnrealEngine #gamedev #indiegame #solodev

To access UE I have to use VPNs because of sanctions and VPNs are illegal here. Even logging into Fab or updating the engine is a struggle.The game industry barely exists here and surviving as a dev is hard. That didn’t stop me. I just hope war or internet shutdowns don’t either.

The current situation in Iran, conflict, and internet disruptions have made it difficult to beactive. This isn’t burnout. External factors are involved. I don’t know what the coming weeks will look like or if I’ll be able to finish Geno, but as long as I can, I’ll keep working.

@delaigrodela This is awesome. I missed your posts.

I love game dev because it is here, in this place, that programming ideas can be seen, for example, the shape is a 3D object, to take position the particle looks for collisions in the center #UnrealEngine #gamedev

@scriptwelder Those rain particles are awesome!

Perhaps there is no Hill but it is sure weirdly Silent.

@roguephotondev Yeah. Than you very much 🙏.

@GenoVideoGame He's back! 🎉

After a control point is captured, it now goes into a cooldown. Since capturing CPs = hacking the trolley and switching its direction, the cooldown helps keep the tension up. Sorry for the scuffed video editing Any Thoughts? #indiedev #UnrealEngine #gamedev #indiegame #solodev

@TrueBaconFriend Hope to see you bored more 😅😅.

I was bored, okay?... #fypシ #RobloxDev #viral #ROBLOX

@JussiKemppainen I’m envious of the progress you’ve made over the past few months, great job!

bonkers vehicle combat game dev day 420 & 421: small things. I added pooling to the bullet trails effects and made them fade out gracefully and added support for water impact VFX for the bullets.

After three weeks of hiatus, I still can’t find the courage to get back to work😅😅.

With all these new free AAA shooters dropping, I’ve been feeling pretty down lately about my solo adventure into making one. Still, I’m gonna keep grinding and finish this game. Hopefully I’m not deep in a sunk cost fallacy😅 #indiedev #UnrealEngine #gamedev #indiegame #solodev

@roguephotondev Yeah, after months of working you form some kind of connection with your work and you can confidently way: "Well this one is mine!". Thank you.

@GenoVideoGame Keep 'em coming! There might be other games but this one is yours 💪

@xeonitepic Thanks for your encouraging words.

@GenoVideoGame Keep grinding, keep pushing. Dont compare too much with other games --> focus on the uniqueness of yours

@SuperSimmer1337 The hair simulation is Epic!

@BTHBcRMY Oh yeah, everybody has his own taste. There are some games out there that focus heavily on marksmanship.

@GenoVideoGame That's so boring though lol shooters need to evolve IMO. I think actual marksmanship is far more compelling but maybe that's just me

Turned this bug into a feature 😅, using it to sync FPS and TPS animations and check what’s replicated and what’s not. #indiedev #UnrealEngine #gamedev #indiegame #solodev

@delaigrodela Completely understandable. One of the luxuries that comes with being a single, shy, and introverted nerd is having time to read 😅😅.

@GenoVideoGame I don't really like such books, I used to read them, and most of the information in them seemed logical to me, so it was boring. Now I don't have free time, I can't find time to really read anything, but that's my problem

10,000 hour rule. I started using Unreal Engine 16 months ago, since I work all the time, I take a minimum of 12 hours as a basis, so that's about 5700 hours. Let it be half the time. When it's 10000, I'll start Blender. How do you feel about this rule? What are your indicators?

@roguephotondev The game would be multiplayer and (Hopefully 😅😅) there would be enough people to queue in for a game. But having bots seems reasonable specially in early stages.

@GenoVideoGame Your AI seems to work great, bots stand still making it a bit easier to hit them which is a good feature rarely added to FPS. Jokes aside, I had a similar experience with AI for RTS, also difficult to debug especially in late stages of the game.

Still working on the bot AI system. It’s taking way longer than I expected 😅 For now, here’s a quick clip of the weapon switch system in action! #indiedev #UnrealEngine #gamedev #indiegame #solodev

@roguephotondev Thank you. Current AI system Moves, shoots and capture Control Points. I just want to add the CP cooldown system to the AI (Bots should approach the available CPs and not the ones in cooldown) then I think I will be done with AI.

@BTHBcRMY Well, That's somehow the point. Specially to those who play competitive (valorant , CS2, ...) they want to see a headshot, if you click on the head. That's why in CS even the recoil pattern is predeterminate. Even in games like Fortnite and COD lots of weapons are Hit-Scan.

@GenoVideoGame But there's no accounting for travel time, bullet drop, penetration, and the position of the guns barrel relative to the area you're shooting at.
