My loading tunnel. Finally got level streaming to work. I'm going to try to connect all of my levels next and see if I can pull it off. It's starting to lag my PC though. #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

@synyster49 Lookin good!

Been trying to have the levels feel really fun but also feel like you're in a city #UE5 #ScreenshotSaturday

I added a wolf enemy. #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

Focus.

@ShofuBeatdown I made bosses immune to interrupts. You get interrupted when you get hit though.

@Lanstrash I’m confused why perfect dodging is a thing here when I don’t see hit-stun upon weapon contact? Can’t you just tank an attack while delivering one in this case?

WIP. Still rough, but I got my battle arena code working. Supports multiple rounds. Planning to do boss rushes and maybe custom rulesets. Maybe random enemies might be fun too. #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

@Noobransom thanks!

@Lanstrash You're doing great! Keep making us proud.

@ChristianCiaro8 Thanks! Cool to hear lol.

@Lanstrash I am so going to buy a collector's edition if you come out with one. The music,gameplay and style is awesome Lan,super proud to see your game grow.

@theKingPilot Nope sorry. Steam deck is my minimum target.

@Lanstrash Playable on mobile?

Implemented simple tutorial cards. #indiedev #gamedev

@YahyaDanboos I loved the idea of ARPG with a heavy focus on spell casting and ai-controlled party members (summons). Also why I love FF13 series and FF7 remakes so much. Thanks for the shoutout.

Made a video talking about what makes a game a HeartsLike? #IndieDev | #GameDev | #KingdomHearts

I added buttons to the hud to remind how to play. I'm just mashing buttons to test. #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

@DELIGHT_GameDev I had a lot of fun exploring. I never found a single key though. Are they inside bosses?

My Wishlists have reached 2,800! A huge thank you to everyone for your incredible support. The full version will unlock new features and expand the world even further. I hope you make the most of this weekend with the demo and the rest of the festival! #SteamNextFest #indiegame

@OussamaAzzouzi9 Yup. That's pretty much it. I have a set distance of 50cm for the hand rails. I use root motion to move up and down since it's much smoother. Dismounting with rootmotion glitches sometimes though. I'm just teleporting to a safespot and faking the animation.

@Lanstrash that is my plan from before haven't tested it yet but I'm sure it will work, I'll share results if got it in engine, thanks a lot.

I fixed my buggy ladder code. Still can't figure out the camera cut though. #indiedev #gamedev

@nanimonull Ah thanks, but my camera is stuck to the player. I'm not controlling it manually.

@Lanstrash I just want to repost drawing a ton of dots (spheres on UI layer) to debug my camera issues Red: history of player position per-frame Green: (Camera) lerp to avg of N recent Blue: avg of all stored positions

@trancelore Thanks, but I already have some lag on the camera. It's just teleporting to a new location.

@Lanstrash Depending on how you have your system implemented you can increase the camera lag then reset to the previous value. The lag should naturally interp the location change.

@LezTusi Thanks, but I think same issue. My camera is attached to a spring arm that's also attached to my character. When the character teleports, it also gets teleported. Kinda jarring.

@Lanstrash Maybe you can focus your camera on your character's bone (like the hip bone) while exiting the ladder climb state?

@OussamaAzzouzi9 Oh sure. Do you mean the code or do you have specific questions? Anyway, this is how I structured it quick mspaint.

@Lanstrash Can you talk about what the code does because I want to learn the logic behind it

@AceV2__ Hmm... I can try that. Thanks. If I figure this out, I can use it for teleporting abilities too.

@Lanstrash hmm, could detach springarm from player during the teleport, and manually interp it up on Z, then forward on XY and re-attach? maybe timed with the "finished climbing" anim

@AceV2__ Just using a box collision. I'm snapping the player every 50cm so it aligns with the animation. I'm also teleporting the player while dismounting why the camera cuts. I tried easing the player forward, but it keeps clipping the edge and falls back down.

@Lanstrash Neat. Are you using a spline for the ladder? Attaching and moving along in steps for the rungs? Maybe you dont need a camera cut at all; i think it would look nice eased into player forward, or within like a range of 45 degrees
