I loved the way Shining Force opens, with someone opening a book and acting a bit as a narrator that leads into your epic journey to become a hero. It goes without saying that this game needed to start in a similar fashion.

One of the first levels the player will explore is their hometown, a seaside village. This is the first draft at that tileset!

We’re teaming up with @NEOWIZ_QUEST to support developers with a narrative game jam! 🤯 The jam kicks off on October 31 in the Game Dev community, so start brainstorming and assemble your team.

An early test on swapping sprites to simulate the movement of a wave. Unreal is pretty bare-bones when it comes to swapping out tiles, so we had to get pretty creative to even achieve this result. Unsure if we will use it, but was a fun test!

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

First 5 minutes of gameplay! Everything is pretty much prototype, but much of the work here is just getting all the systems connected together to a sequence that actually starts to resemble a game.

Trying to get a feel of the starting area, and most importantly how much the player can see. The original Shining force displayed everything in a 12x12 grid, but was also rendered 4:3.

Hoomanz! is a stealth-adventure game by @koffeecup that's PACKED with coziness and humor.

We also have some camera work to show off. It was a bit tricky trying to figure out how to get Unreal to both attach a camera to a character but also prevent the camera from showing things outside the play space. Using a camera mod does the trick though.
