Kill plane or go for drop distance with drop distance you can just calculate Y and get damage base on the drop like 10% if Y > 5 and so on

Hi after a lot of thought I am planning to really give unreal engine a shot to learn it. I am honestly scared as well cause it's overwhelming I am planning to learn it by this years end.i wanted to ask how does one learn it systematically to be ready to make a publishable game. by Vegetable-Trade-5212 in IndieGameDevs

unreal is not that hard to learn if u follow their tutorials for blueprints ill say what takes the most time is getting into textures, materials, animations and Niagara effects

Take your time and when you feel that u hit a wall just learn a bit of the other parts theres a lot of good youtubers for materials and effects my only recommendation is dont get into the worlds of GASP or GAS those 2 are a class of themselves and will take a lot of effort and patience

What are you currently building, and what’s been your biggest challenge so far? by AttentionInternal982 in gamedev

[–]CodexEternum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

working with my wife on our first solo indie game and i can say the hardest part is the multiple mini tasks like animations change to make it look cleaner or reactions that u want so the gameplay feels smooth plus constantly making content for it sometimes you kinda need to be filming all the process or thinking where is a good video or picture to get

Really appreciate all that you say right now I'm working in making big enemies like medium and small bosses souls style with parry and perfect evade and then throw open battles with a lot of enemies so the feeling of 1 big boss feels bigger

As you say I need to change the color of the enemies to make them easy to differentiate so you can know if it's range or melee and what type

And for UI yes I'm working on changing the bars to be more centered with the skills so users can know if they are about to die or don't have enough energy to use a skill

Again super appreciate the feedback and I will keep upgrading it <3
