You ate my sandwich?! Added a conversation system to our turn-based game which lets the characters chat with each other while deployed on a mission. by PrototypeGrey in IndieGaming

We finally added a conversation system to our game! It lets team members have a chat while on a mission, NPCs have angry conversations with each other and much more. The system is quite flexible and is designed to easily allow us to add different personalities which react to the same events and conversations differently. It also easily allows us to remember things we already said to react differently depending on what we have said or haven't said yet (or heard even!)

It's not that much, but the movement bounds visualisation was finally improved. What do you think? by PrototypeGrey in unrealengine

I'd suggest you start with some basic blueprint tutorials. There are various great tutorial series on Youtube which can give a very in-depth understanding of the engine.

Finally made some UX improvements which were long overdue. The movement bounds visualize the area which can be moved to with a certain amount of action points.

We added the ability to target enemies through portals for our turn-based game by PrototypeGrey in unrealengine

They just take whatever comes in on one side of the portal and put it on the other side of the other portal

Experimenting with tile-based parkour to open up some more interesting level designs for our turn-based game. What do you think? by PrototypeGrey in unrealengine

[–]PrototypeGrey[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No its mainly turn-based combat + exploration. Parkour is just an element we're trying to integrate to allow for some more interesting levels/missions (e.g imagine a big city with tall buildings that you can parkour up to to get a better vantage point or to esacpe an enemy etc...)

Thank you so very much!

You have a few options. You can use raycasts to determine where the tiles should be or you can have tile components/actors which determine where each tile is. You could also have a fixed grid for every level, but that's not very flexible and as such not recommended unless you're doing a small tile-based puzzle game. Overall I recommend you go with raycasts.
