Hitting a brick wall on my assignment. I have different systems, but getting them to feel like a game and as a collective is another challenge. Didn’t think I’d struggle this much on this assignment .

Also big shout out to the Epic Educational team. The recent training they provided was hugely helpful in creating this tutorial and will be hugely impactful as I look to create more.
It was very useful. Not just for creating content for Epic but for online content as a whole.

It's live. Quick demo on Game Mode and Game Instances. Many people who move to Unreal often take an approach that has you fighting the framework. + Game Instances class. A great way to move info between levels.
Lots of changes to make moving forward.

Just finished my first Unreal video tutorial. A quick demo on Game mode and Game instance.
May make it public rather than than just being active on UE forums. But honestly scared 😂
First video tutorial, lots to change. But first is always rough.

The best order of operations for any mid-scope indie game that requires funding is:
- Build it quickly & quietly assuming you'll self-publish
- Pitch to everyone
- If unsuccessful, put out a store page & start marketing
- If successful, publishers will come back to you
- If not, continue as-is

Includes the IRIS plug-in for UE5.
