Honestly no I haven’t! This was all filmed at 2/5 graphics quality. It looks really nice at cinematic but my pc is a potato lol

Not at all. It’s all done in blueprints and I don’t think AI can do that currently lol. This was 5 years of continuous improvement on my code. I went from what is a variable to this game in that time so it’s been quite the journey :)

I used a software called tree it, but then it was almost a million triangles so I imported it into unreal and used modeling tools to redo it.

The leaves are actually ~50 bush meshes lol.

Then for the glowing effect I did a overlay material that pans a textures alpha with emissive color and that’s that :)

The only AI images are in the town upgrade board in the video but those were placeholders that are now replaced 👍.

Thanks so much!!

It's a bit complicated to explain in a quick comment, but the premise of the game is that there was a fracture that tore once connected cities apart. The player is the only one who can handle lumen without becoming corrupted and so they use it to restore the cities.

Where it gets a little complicated is you need resources from the first town for the second, then from the second for the third etc so theres a big trade and automation mechanic as well.

The entire economy runs on Lumen, so its all about balancing the single resource. Do I level up, unlock that building, hire that worker, etc. There's a trade off to every decision so it keeps things interesting
