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.

This time - more factory related models. Most of these are from free packs, with me simplifying the models and applying my own materials and textures.

Some more greyboxing. This part is a multi-level room where you need to carefully plan your steps or risk falling down and having to restart your progress.

Made some new different waffles, here they are without textures!

Spacious arena-like room to introduce a new mechanic and give a mini objective. There will be a moving gate-mouth at the end of a conveyor that will need to be fed

Testing greyboxed level by running around and jumping on jellies.

Created another spline for faster placements of obstacles. It randomly spawns objects along the path. Later on I can use these as guides for where to place the final props.

Remaking the weapon system to allow (in the future) the use of various different things as weapons besides the default pistols. Fixed some bugs along the way, so now shooting during run and slide works as it's supposed to.

More new models, ready to be in the game. A bunch of cake related stuff and various waffles.

A piece of sparking wire colliding with environment. Decided to make this as an effect first and see if it is going to be easier to implement as a weapon than a skeletal mesh.

Greybox continues. This is a part of the depot level that is less about processing goods and more about multi level office space.
