Patch v.1.7.1 - new sky and stuff


This patch includes me diving into the new version of a game engine I’m using, reaching the bottom, having life flash before my eyes, going back to the surface for air and, of course, doing some minor improvements which include these:

  • Moved to Unreal Engine 5 from version 4. In general, this shouldn’t bring any noticeable changes, but if you encounter any problems with the game - please, don’t hesitate to drop a comment!

  • Gamepad support!!

  • New clouds and cloud placements

  • Sound variations for robots - almost makes you feel like they are not clones anymore!

  • New ambient visual effects: space dust and pink cake cream flying around

  • New sky look. Did you know that you are in space, and there are stars all around you? Well, now you know.

Dreaming of finishing games

Something of an atrium in the middle of an office area.

🥳 Year recap. Worked on JICE: new meshes, weapons, an NPC robot, dialogues, started level design for level 2. Released a web game and even earned some (small) money from ads. Next year’s goal: 2 web games and.. a bit more money? 😆

Happy new years!

Changed lighting in this part - added LED lamps where the light is supposed to be coming from and fiddled with global illumination a bit more.

Will add a bit more lighting, but for now finished with this section of the Depot level.

Just jumping around Spaceport, collecting energy

A bit more design of the second part of the Depot level, now with lighting. Needs additional jellies..

Sometimes it does feel like this 😆

The small web game I've been making recently is now on itch! Can kill a few minutes of your time if you like swinging swords at stuff.

Did some more level design this week. Found out that the tutorial tvs broke at some point, while I was improving the interactions system. But if I don't tell anyone that these screens are supposed to show text, nobody is gonna know.. Oh.
