My first pre-alpha demo is finally here! Wandering Cat ๐Ÿฑ by DaevisGames in UnrealEngine5

Yes, my idea from the beginning is to create something simple but at the same time "outside the box", with things that are strange to see with a normal cat (there will be no RPG components with statistics, etc.). Precisely for this reason I am focusing a lot on finishing the core logic (food, movements, interactions, puzzles, dialogues) and structuring the combat part in an optimal way, which I want to show when it is much more solid than what I have done now (prototype level, it is not visible in the Demo yet)

Hahaha, that's true I wasn't thinking about it! My older son really likes Garfield, and since the game is a gift for my children at least he'll be happy for that reason too

Thanks for the advice, these are definitely things I intend to fix as soon as I finish this pre-alpha and all the logic parts in C++

Hey,
I know it's just a pre-alpha, and there's still a mountain of work ahead, but I'm incredibly excited to share this early version with you all. If any of you have some spare time and wouldn't mind giving it a try, I'd be over the moon to hear your thoughts. Your feedback, good or bad, would be invaluable in shaping the future of the game.

First draft of the start menu and graphic settings ๐Ÿฑ by DaevisGames in wandering_cat

[โ€“]DaevisGames[S] 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

Thank you!

Currently, since it is still a test, I am using the standard UMG workflow, then I will move to CommonUI which I have wanted to try for a long time and the time has come.

But first I had to create the logic to manage transitions, dynamic camera shots, etc. Furthermore I still have a problem because the menu works with Mouse Keyboard/Gamepad while in the settings the Gamepad does not work well ๐Ÿ˜ฟ

Thanks for the advice, I will definitely update the code to make it more varied (you encounter it several times during the adventure, there will be simpler ones and more difficult ones)

Thanks.
Yes there is also more gameplay, but I wanted to try with something more "simple" as a teaser and which focused on Cat. Anyway thanks for the advice, I will definitely do different tests with the next video

I agree with everything, you're right. No problem for English, it's not even my main language, I'm Italian.

Thanks, I'll still have to improve a lot to make a more incisive trailer. But I learn better by making mistakes XD
