My spin on liminal walking sims demo is out now - testing before next fest!

The office rooms take you on a journey through a surreal and abandoned anomaly control facility!

I would love any feedback and advice :)

Small improvement to the PCG I'm using to create liminal office rooms.

Moving from volume to spline control makes a world of difference!

Cozy concept world building game made for gmtk game jam. Lots I want to improve but it exists #gamedev

It's from a game called peak, a coop physics climbing game where you have a green stamina bar for climbing that is reduced by various status effects such as weight, hunger, damage. Once the green bar is empty (overridden by status effects) you go KO and the bar starts extending beyond the usual max.

Thanks it looks cool but you didn't need to say that ;)

MTAK Watch!

Players requested this watch for quicker callouts on enemies

I created this on the same day alongside GPS updates, with controlled position per item.

The slight refraction and grunge layer on the roughness and normal give the glass some dynamics when moving!

Lastly this week, players let us know that they lose track of the 15 minute mission objective. Missions are straight forward in EXFIL but adding this feature from the briefing screen helps everyone stay on target. It also gives opportunity for more complex missions, as working memory will be free!

I updated the Icons in the game from black line art to rectangle / diamond BLUFOR/OPFOR designs inspired by the unclassified NATO JOINT MILITARY SYMBOLOGY APP-6(C) manual. I had to take some liberties on certain unique assets that I want to be very clear to players, and more realism. 3/4

As part of this weeks iteration I wanted to improve the one hand GPS (TAB key) which had only zoom functionality.

Now, holding TAB opens it into full screen and I use a zoom/pan handler for constraining the map translations to widget geometry. I then produced gridline and numbers. 2/4

Introducing MTAK:
Misultintech Team Awareness Kit (inspired by ATAK).

This week I added 8-channel marker placement, objective list, team roster and chat & an icon legend for the NATO inspired map marker overhaul.

A Diegetic mission UI in the palm of your hand! 1/4

Until you've built a level and had 10 million people play it without getting lost or frustrated, you can shut the fuck up about yellow paint.

Cheers, I've used this method before but due to being a photorealism project the shadow issue led us to remove it and use animation ducking instead, as you mentioned actual split rendering isn't simple in unreal without the right folks on board! Additionally optics were a pain in the ass with this

Ah cool! I guess the shadow artefacts on the crushed geo is not an issue due to the render style! Thanks for sharing :)

I use data asset pointers inside tables, table acts as the lookup and the asset holds soft references and can be extended for classes that implement more data, eg weapons data, and grenade data hold different properties, but both inherit base item data (name icon etc). Most UI only need cast to base
