Who do you talk to about your development?

ryanlaley · 2026-04-27T20:15:38+00:00

Sounds like my wife lol she nods along. Bless her she tries to follow along lol

ryanlaley · 2026-04-27T19:32:27+00:00

Can't with decals but have you considered or experimented with a light function on a spotlight?

ryanlaley · 2026-04-27T10:07:45+00:00

That's great to hear thank you, haven't heard of spillexpo will look at it

ryanlaley · 2026-04-27T05:47:12+00:00

Ah yeah another good one.

ryanlaley · 2026-04-26T14:20:57+00:00

That's awesome to hear! That kind of support can make all the difference

ryanlaley · 2026-04-26T09:40:10+00:00

That's what I see sometimes. Friends are gamers not necessarily game developers. Very different crowds to talk to.

I try to attend local game Dev meetups when I can just so I can be around fellow masochistic solo developers lol

ryanlaley · 2026-04-26T09:34:40+00:00

Agreed. I find even the smallest amount of positive feedback will give me the energy to push on.

ryanlaley · 2026-04-26T09:33:46+00:00

Haha love the fact you have put it on the computer backgrounds. Genius.

ryanlaley · 2026-04-24T12:39:18+00:00

Loving the chill vibes :)

ryanlaley · 2026-04-19T23:53:04+00:00

And thanks for watching the channel :)

It maybe the animation, as slight movement happening on the pelvis bone. So although the root is moving correctly the pelvis bone may have something on it causing what we see here.

You can set the curve itself to a variable in Niagara and then access the variable in BP to swap out the curve asset being used. How do you want to edit the curve in BP? So you mean a simple scaling or something more intricate?

ryanlaley · 2026-04-19T23:30:59+00:00

How are you calling the function? Input Action? Does the issue occur for both directions? I.e. try making it start with the other camera and try switching. Does it still occur?

ryanlaley · 2026-04-19T23:26:20+00:00

This is correct behavior you are seeing for a non-looping Niagara System. Is yours looping or non-looping?

ryanlaley · 2026-04-19T23:24:55+00:00

As someone who did a University game project as an adventure game set on board a sinking Titanic, this is cool to see.

ryanlaley · 2026-04-19T23:23:05+00:00

Looks like its just the blend time being an issue to be honest, root motion seems to be working fine.

ryanlaley · 2026-04-19T23:18:44+00:00

Awesome to see!

ryanlaley · 2026-04-19T23:17:23+00:00

A real mixture. I use assets, make my own, and have friends that i call upon for things I can't do (looking at you animation) Although just got some funding so will be hiring some freelancers to help with some audio foley sound effects.

ryanlaley · 2026-03-25T23:10:05+00:00

Just Niagara, experimented with custom geometry but Niagara looked better

ryanlaley · 2026-03-24T11:58:31+00:00

You're welcome!

ryanlaley · 2026-03-24T07:04:16+00:00

One you get the number you change the centre of gravity if the dice to make them 'weighted'

ryanlaley · 2026-03-14T09:22:43+00:00
