Progress Update No. 9.5

Hey there! Tiny update, nothing major, hence the .5 at the end. Production has pretty much wrapped up on my other project, at least for the time being, so I'm getting back into The First Location now. With all of that said...

Yeah. I'm recoding a lot of this game. Hence why this update is tiny. I've learned a boatload of things between starting my break from TFL and finishing my most recent project (more details soon, follow me specifically if you're interested). The code in this game is, messy, unnecessarily repetitive, and very unoptimized on the performance side of things. There is a very real chance that most of the game gets recoded from scratch.

BUT!!!!!!

That all said, don't expect this to take super long! This game was very simple to make when I was new to Unreal, it will be a cakewalk now, and will be 10x easier to manage, 10x easier to update, and 100x easier to look at.

I am also not saying that the game is delayed, by any means. I'm still hoping to have it ready by the end of Summer next year, if not sooner. The game design is not changing, the models and textures are not changing (at least, not majorly), and the story is not changing. Just a lot of optimizing, rework, and polish to be done.

Stay tuned!

UE5 Sonic Framework update: Made a custom model for Sonic! Still working on animations, but so far I'm very pleased with how he looks. The mouth can move between either side of his face, and the eyes are fully 3d allowing for a lot of posing flexibility
