Hi Oleg, some curiosity questions regarding your ball character setup - have you considered any "camera lag" ? to smooth out the rotation of your camera ? - are you changing the aperture when you change the camera view (up and down ?) - I guess, the xy - distance is shorter or longer ? - is there a special reason you use Event Tick for the sphere trace ? I would set up an infinte timer I guess 0.1 seconds is propably enough... and one more .. have you thought about making a discord server ? it is much easier there to discuss - programming challanges you might face.. love your project and would like to help you where I can
@olegklaus 2 ай бұрын
Hey thank you very much for the questions. There is camera lag, may be it's too low sensitivity or may be because I am using the mouse. I think with the controller it more noticable. No, no aperture change that I know of. Regarding event tick. I was thinking this might be more accurate if it checks on tick. Do you think it will save performance? About discord. I know a couple of game devs and the feedback regarding building a community on discord is a bit discouraging. I am wondering how much can be gained from this for me and people on the server. I am trying to be as transparent as possible on many platforms so I didn't really consider discord so far. But you can convince me otherwise. 🙂

Hi again! :D Yes these transitions are insane, and could be the gateway to expand on even more depths if you desire in a game design or even level design standpoint. Imagine the energy within the sphere is the player, keep the color/light chosen during character creation or personalisation, but the various arrival points could have new aesthetics entirely whilst keeping the player engaged as the central energy core :) Just a thought, as this game seems already incredibly detailed and I'm only viewing it from the side-line.

@vardamir0397 2 ай бұрын
i think the game should include different sphere meshes since there are various locations and levels, using the transition you could even have areas with more polished or more ruinated puzzle maps with sphere meshes that serve different purposes? Could add to the level of customization of the game, say, one ball goes faster but breaks easier, one goes slower but can break things...one can roll over some surfaces that others cant, one can jump...just thoughts but I believe variation here can be achieved nicely and integrated in either environmental storytelling or even gameplay, and if not then just nice artistic cosmetics :)

Awesome video! Really like transition effect of your game. It looks really kool. I too really like stage transitions that doesn't just fade to black. As you said there is nothing wrong with that but to give an interactive transition feels much better while playing a game. I can think of God of War's stage transition where the transition is happening while the player is moving around this asynchronous platform area and thus not breaking the immersion. Also really like how your game is looking so far. Looking forward to your next devlog. Keep it up! :)

Hey Thank you very much. Creating SFX is super fun for me. UVs in general and Texel Density was for some time a topic I was avoiding in 3D. Although I know now how to unwrap manually and set seams and such I still use ZenUV for many tasks, such as quadrify and setting the Texel density. There are still some meshes I have to adjust but I agree its important and noticable when the density is different from mesh to mesh. May be I could talk about it some more in a seperate video. And thank you for the support. :)

@piotrszlachciak1172 4 ай бұрын
Hey. I'm not familiar with how exactly Unreal works, but in general to solve the camera/speed problem you need to align the input axes with the world axes instead of the camera. One trick that comes to mind is when calculating the movement direction is to take the camera position and rotate it (only in the calculation) so that it faces straight down. An alternative approach is (assumimg z is up) to take the vector from the camera to the ball, set the z component to 0 and normalize this vector. That way you'll get the forward direction (corresponding to arrow up, or joystick up). By rotating that vector 90 degrees on the z axis you get the sideways direction. And now you apply your input to those directions. I hope this helps :)

I noticed you are connecting the events to their bindings directly, this works fine, but you can also use the Create Event node if you drag off the Event pin in the Bind node. This allows you to have them further apart, or even on different event graphs, and it looks a little cleaner. Using the event dispatcher like you are is pretty close to the Observer/Listener design pattern. Design Patterns are common things programmers use quite a bit, even without knowing that's what they're doing. It'd be worth your time to watch a short video on them, though most don't speak about them in relation to game development, I think there are some here on KZbin. And yes, these videos inspire me to make more things, you're doing a wonderful job on your game and I hope to follow you on this journey.

Hey, than you very much, I really appreciate the feedback. Still learning new stuff so it's cool when people suggest better solutions or alternatives.

@PretendCoding 4 ай бұрын
@@olegklaus Design Patterns can help with performance, but it's more about ways to achieve things easier. The observer pattern is all about having a listener subscribe to an event and respond in some way. In your case, you've got the rings which listen for the value of the center rotator to change, and when that changes value, the rings turn. You've already implemented it, but looking at how it's done in general software development should help give you ideas on how to implement it in your own projects.
