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.

Next up

Did some progress on the next part of the Depot. This area is going to be a bit less spacious than the previous one.

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.

Just jumping around Spaceport, collecting energy

Ditched baked lighting, trying lumen now. Surprisingly, it doesn't seem like it takes up that much more performance compared to the previous setup - with a few tricks for optimization, at least.

Dreaming of finishing games

Polished the side project a bit more. Added sounds, fixed some ui things, added a movement sprite for the sword, made the enemies fade out on death.

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.

Sometimes it does feel like this 😆

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.

Just a cover I made for my side game project.
