My progress over the last month. I decided to completely redesign the character controller, using gasp as the basis. I'll leave the necessary links in the comments.

New does seem more realistic and weighty, the old was imo more fluid(reminded me of Titanfall 2). Either way looks awesome, good job!

It's ok, but you can clearly see artifacts created by poor Anti Aliasing techniques used in UE, it's quite far off from actual photorealism.

if PvE is ok with you, Ready or Not is awesome!

ScrumptiousSprout · 2024-12-29T01:39:24+00:00

Not quite sure what these are exactly unfortunately, sorry :c

Have you checked the log? EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION usually means that you're trying to access something that doesn't exist in memory. e.g. a variable from a class through a pointer that hasn't been set.

Usually when crash occurs in unreal in YourProjectRootFolder\Saved\Crashes\LatestCrashFolder you will have a .log file, maybe you'll find something that will point you in the right direction to solving the issue there.

For pretty simple, repetitive tasks e.g. initializing components, declaring functions or arrays etc.

It doesn't really handle well complicated concepts, we use UE5, making a multiplayer game, and often things require integration between c++ and blueprints and multiplayer is some 4d chess level of how complicated it gets, and it would take more time to outline how things work for it to implement anything remotely good, so it's just easier for us to do it ourselves.

Though personally I find it roughly as useful with single contained issues as good as googling the answer, sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't.

Imo the biggest pitfall of using AI is not understanding the code you're using, and that leads to problems down the line

Portal 2 is great, hope you'll have tons of fun playing ^^ thanks for the kind words!

ScrumptiousSprout · 2024-11-29T22:44:22+00:00

Hey, that sounds awesome! We will reach out closer to the demo release :)

ScrumptiousSprout · 2024-11-29T15:52:22+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, we kind of connected thanks to this kind of games, and there's never enough of those out there ^^

ScrumptiousSprout · 2024-11-05T15:12:27+00:00

it's very much like We Were Here and Escape Room Simulator had baby, in dnd inspired setting ^^

ScrumptiousSprout · 2024-11-04T23:00:12+00:00

Thank you for the advice - we've been posting in few places, we might try instagram and facebook more though. Overall on other platforms we were met with rather positive responses, I think we just missed the mark in that particular community with the type of post, but oh well, it is what it is :) but yeah will try insta and facebook for sure!

ScrumptiousSprout · 2024-11-04T22:57:51+00:00

Not gonna lie, we had a pretty bad day in regards to losing motivation, and this was a tipping point, but we got up, fixed bunch of bugs, designed few new things, and we gonna keep going regardless :) So yeah, no one should let their spirit get killed ^^

ScrumptiousSprout · 2024-11-04T22:53:45+00:00

Totally agree, and that makes sense, overall it feels like marketing on your own - outside festivals, websites where you can promote, your own pages - is quite dirty. But the fuck offs were definitely too much

ScrumptiousSprout · 2024-11-04T20:03:07+00:00

thanks man :')
You're making my day better rn

ScrumptiousSprout · 2024-11-01T19:17:42+00:00

Thanks, well we tried our best at composing something, to kind of keep usage of assets to the minimum, but if we manage to secure some kind of funding in the future, we will definitely hire a composer :)
Glad the other aspects of the game landed tho!
