They said it couldn't be done. They said you could never cobble together an outfit approximating Seo-Yeon's from @malformation.bsky.social's upcoming Ground Zero game. Well they were wrong!

I take my commitment to build patch notes very seriously.

Oooh I'll have to check it out!

TL;DR - we got money and a publisher to make more cool stuff and actually finish the game

There's a scene in our game where you're on a lighthouse, watching power be restored to Busan in the distance.

I came up with this effect to feel "low poly ish" but still have high detail and it's cool that the lights can come on "in sequence" instead of all at once.

Thank you! Always good to see you giving support 🙏

For those who know Unreal animation blueprints, if an ABP is a template instead of assigned to a specific skeleton, it is not possible in 5.4 to reference any animation slot groups other than "Default", right?

Working on the main menu for Ground Zero, a post-apoc Korean survival horror, trying to give the Press Start screen some personality. Shortened for Bsky 60 second limit.

Sound on!

Sure! The flashlight in alone in the dark 4 is actually what inspired me to push to get that working in ground zero. I'll try and find some time over the Christmas period to make a "how it's done" video

An all too familiar situation 😤

Figured out a way to do muzzleflashes that light up the background.

Our game is pre-rendered, meaning that the background and environment is fully 2D. The only thing 3D is the character and the rain. So it's pretty neat!
