Writing some unit tests in UE C++ and it's a pretty straightforward system, just need IMPLEMENT_SIMPLE_AUTOMATION_TEST(XYZ) and a method XYZ::RunTest(...) and away you go.

I've collected some of my old MoonQuest devlog videos into a playlist. This game had many systems but one of my favourite memories was programming the AI so enemies could jump across platforms and chase you. 🌙

Finished Silent Hill f. Aspects of Junji Ito. Lovely environmental modelling. Puzzles not so interesting. Some horrible (in a good way) creatures. Some repetition (economical). Still fun to axe things. Story v depressing to endure. Overall v well crafted but I wasn't in the right headspace for it.

For ten years I decided not to watch The Revenant but finally was in the mood and watched it and it was good. I think watching America Primeval and playing The Long Dark got me into the right space.
