Here's a quick peek at the Inventory and Upgrade screens for my aRPG Roguelite!👀
Cooking up something cool for anyone who loves serious stat-checking and optimizing - but you can always go with the "more greens in it" choice!😏

I'm working on a Dark Scifi aRPG Roguelite.

Currently I'm updating my UI and Skill system 🛠️

A little polish goes a long way! ✨

I've been hard at work refining the Stat and Skill Upgrade UI. This latest version provides a much more satisfying feel and is a big step up!

See the new look in action! 👇

Thank you, I will be launching my steam page together with an announcement trailer, so still a bit of work ahead of me, but I will be sure to post new information and behind the scenes videos here :)

NEW logic added! 💥
My #scifi aRPG #roguelite now has Mana/Energy and new visuals for SPECIAL weapon and item skills.

I'm planing to add element affinity to the game, so here is also an example of light/radiant affinity skills.

After tons of testing. I felt that something was missing.
That I'm forcefully making a game that's supposed to be something else.

I've pivoted to an aRPG with #roguelite elements.

And it finally feels right!

I'm still working on some major, direction shifting changes for my game.
I will probably post some more info about it soon 🫡

This looks like my worst nightmare. Years of work and 13 reviews to show for it 😨

From screens, the game looks great. I also wonder what happened here

I'm working on revamping the skill system for my horde game - basically in a more aRPG like style 🛠️

So no video this time, a janky screenshot will have to suffice 🥶

Testing new camera angles for my #SciFi horde game! Not sure if 3rd person perspective fits the vibe😅 Thoughts?

Things are getting more chaotic! 💥 Just added legendary "Spider Drones" to the upgrade pool, and enemies behave more unpredictable in my #roguelite horde game!

Here's a raw look at my roguelite game!
The horde is getting bigger, and the stakes are higher.

It's a bloody mess, but it's a fun one 🩸

Thank you :)
The locomotion system in Unreal also takes a fair bit of resources, I'm just using the most basic Move to location with everything else turned off, no avoidance and basically no sophisticated pathfinding.

For something extra I just add some simple position offsets

🛠️ Spent the day creating a censor option for my game. Not all is done, but blood now turns to oil.

This aims to prevent algorithms from censoring my posts on other social sites.

My game is gory, but this setting can be useful either way.

A few seconds #wip #gameplay from my horde game at its current state.

I'm going to try and post a bit more of these type of videos, hopefully you will like them 🙂

Hi, here is a tutorial that I used for Aim Offset in my game. In my case, it works (also in UE 5.6). I have it slightly modified for my top-down game purpose, but maybe you will find something that will help you, best of luck :)

Go for it! Dream ideas can go both ways, but if you don't start, you will never know if it's good 👍
