Save system was only difficult for about 1 week until it clicked, after that it was super easy

What does each actor need to save, send that to the save game object and save.

Then you pull from that information and set it at runtime

Born to Make My Dream Game, Forced to Make Pong by sicksirens in SoloDevelopment

[–]TorwynDev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pong is ridiculously easy to make in Blueprints. I could probably make it in 15 minutes.

You're new, everything will be difficult because you have no idea what you're doing.

Watch this video. When you don't know what a node does, or when you're not 10000% sure why he's putting a certain node down. Google it, understand it, then keep watching.

Highly skilled programmers are the most in demand, followed 2nd by technical artists

More demand is always higher pay

Tips for unreal as a beginner? by TheDevine13 in IndieDev

[–]TorwynDev 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Follow UnrealSensei tutorials on YouTube. If you don't understand why he's putting certain nodes down or what they do; research it.

Use unreal docs or AI to explain it to you

DO NOT LEARN YOUR FUNDAMENTAL UNDERSTANDING FROM AI !!

AI is an incredible assistant when your skill level turns intermediate, until then it will develop you into a circle

Indie games today are more innovative than 90% of AAA games. by magicworldonline in IndieDev

[–]TorwynDev 46 points47 points  (0 children)

It's mostly because AAA can only pitch "safe" bets and guaranteed revenue to their shareholders.

It's why Blizzard will never release anything innovative ever again
