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.

Made a model for another enemy robot. This one is supposed to resemble a french press, but still look similar to the Toaster. They work in the same company but on different floors.

Some clean up. These are graphs for one of the master materials used in the game, before and after. Added some functionality and finally made use of the named reroute nodes to get rid of all those noodles.

Added sounds to the wire movements and a short time dilation window when the grabbed robot is close to player.

Set up animations, effects and attack logic for the new enemy. This one attacks by opening its lid and pouring out the coffee around it. Potentially highly inconvenient in tight corridors.

Made some bread piles for robots to throw their cooked toasts in!

Watch out! Too late.. It's always fun when enemies can deal friendly fire to each other

Wire now can grab enemies, to make it easier to shoot them up close!

Throwing cake at a robot aka another type of weapon - pieces of environment scattered around level that can be picked up and launched at things.

Progress on the new weapon - wire-whip! Decided on the middle ground between making it a full physics-based effect and a mesh. Like it so far, but there are still some other quirks left to flesh out

Made it so any mesh can now become a throwable. Here I am throwing a cookie and a trashcan
