Test Implementation of a new region. It will need some lighting adjustments but I'm loving the look!

I had a idea to do Tiered abilities that way getting ability progression will have more depth. What do you think of these test style Icons? They are very different then the way I'm doing them now but I'm liking them

Got in a new tiled fog of war. I love the look of it and how it instantly discovers a open room. I also like it as my last implementation you could see other rooms throughout the map lol

This is how weird the pathing was getting. The left bad line would snap to nav mesh polygon intersections. Had to do some custom work to smooth it out!

I hit a MASSIVE brick wall in Unreal and its pathing not being the most direct route. I was super upset because I couldn't fix this and didn't want to work on it but I pushed through it and created this area check system!

Took some time to improve the wall more. Art does not come naturally to me so it took me some time to look at a lot of other art to see what I was doing wrong. I was trying to do to much lol

I'm working on simplifying the perception and enemy states. Its turning out great so far! I'm really enjoying the ! and the ? displayed for the type of sight the enemy has on the character.

Desperation hit 50 wish lists! That's super cool that 50 people thought my game could be something. There is a LOT more to come from Desperation!

HELP! I'm trying to update the stone wall in the background. Which is better? The new is the first image.
If you have and recommendations on how I can make it better let me know!

I'm trying to test out enemies losing sight after one round but this guy wont leave me alone! GO AWAY MY MAN!
I think I made them to good.

Implemented loot drops yesterday. I did some art to make a little bag and made some twinkly stars. I love the cursor changing to a loot icon when hovering the bag!

#screenshotsaturday ! I was messing with my proc gen with filling space. Some other games just leave a black void and it looks cool but I don't think it does here. I'm liking the filled area so much more

Sometimes you gotta take the buggy on a ride to clear the mind.

I updated interactions to have key binds (you can see the icons bottom right). Modular inputs are important to me as a goal for this project is to make sure disabled gamers can map inputs however they need, to make sure they can enjoy the game!

Its a weird good feeling when you do a quick implementation of something and love it so you do a proper implementation of it and it works out the first try and looks exactly as the test and you just go "Well I guess that works"

I wanted to make this recent build of Desperation super solid. Then I had a idea to rework a big part of the game to really push the best mechanics of the game. With that said update 7 is up in prep for some bigger changes!

This is one of my favorite procedural generated maps yet! I love the way it has several paths and openings!
