Feels unreal finally being able to play through a full gameplay loop in my game! Still a ton to polish and improve.

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!

Yeah I just forgot to hide FPS meshes when switching to the third person camera and this happened (long time ago) and since I use it to debug my animations and net code 😅.

Geno @genogame.bsky.social · 2d

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

It could! I'm playing with it now I hope higher values might solve the problem.

Geno @genogame.bsky.social · 4d

Thank you. I think one problem is that I am a CS2 lover and I constantly compare my work to a game which is more that 20 years old and is constantly getting better. I guess that is why It took more than 16 months for me to just finish one gameplay loop. (not fulltime work though).

Geno @genogame.bsky.social · 4d

Oh, yeah! 2 great suggestions. Thank you. I will consider them. The life-bar is really not necessary there!

Why does it always feel like my game gives players less screen space compared to others?
Here’s a side-by-side with CS2 (and yes, I aced with a pistol 😎).
My hand model’s smaller, HUD tighter, maybe it’s the level design or scale?

More like unreal tournament.

Which one do you prefer: a hit-scan sniper or a projectile-based one?

It's not old school! It's classic 😎. And it looks incredible!

Your team would get a point if you secure the payload to your base.

The tracks are solid static meshes. I couldn't get the result that I wanted using mesh instances on a spline. There are multiple separate splines in the map. I just need to align them with the track.

Geno @genogame.bsky.social · 20d

One in the middle. That's why the wheels are not perfectly aligned.

Geno @genogame.bsky.social · 20d

Much better movement. Now I need to carefully adjust the spline and match the wheel movement with speed.

Just got to work and saw my mouse is not working.
I love my co-workers 😅. It made my day 😁🤣🤣.

I am rehearsing my game award speech right now.

Geno @genogame.bsky.social · 23d

Flawless movement! @unrealengine.bsky.social offer me a job, I might accept 😎😎.

Yeah. you are not the first person to tell me that these things belongs to GDD! I will surely try to work more with GDD. I'm just used to write down stuff.

😂😂

Geno @genogame.bsky.social · 24d

Does anybody else doodle like me to figure out how to program a gameplay feature? 😅

Yeah, I tried to mimic a real shotgun mechanic and it made it way too powerful. I'd need to add more spread I guess.

Geno @genogame.bsky.social · 24d

Cool lights. Great job 👍
