UI, Communication And Usability This week, I have been working on the main user interface (UI) for Crumbling World. UI is an essential part of any game, as it is one of the main tools that we as game designers use to communicate with our players directly.

Finally bringing the player character to life! In this quick video, I’m showcasing the first implementation of the actual character model, complete with clothes and gear using the inventory and equipment system. Exciting to see things coming together!

Sneak peek at a new area in Lobo: The Beast Inside! This abandoned guard outpost sits just outside the towering wall—once a line of defense, now a haunting reminder of what was lost. Exploration is risky… but rewarding.

Designing systems is challenging, but making them work together is even harder! Here’s the new UI design for the Dialogue System interacting with the Quest System—assigning new quests, completing old ones—and the Save & Load system recording every step.

Jump And Grab Edge System Since the last update, I have been working on the Jump and Grab Edge System for Crumbling World. I decided to rework these movement mechanics, as I thought it would be great to add a bit more complexity to each of the levels.

Here’s a quick look at the second animation—facial expressions and lipsync, created using iClone  and Unreal Engine. 

Each character’s expression is tied to the tone of the conversation, building on the body animation layer shown earlier. 

In this quick peek, I’m testing the first animation layer for Lobo’s dialogue system: body animations Next up: facial expressions and lipsync— I'm getting closer to fully immersive dialogue!

All implemented in Unreal Engine 5 🎮 Thanks for watching!
