Amazing tutorial! One thing I ran into is that if you want to use Unreal Engine's foliage tool to populate the bush around your landscape (instead of hand placing them in a scene), the quad panels in the billboard stop facing towards the camera. A workaround is to change some of the nodes in the setup that leads into World Position Offset. I replaced the nodes (Camera space to Local space -> Normalize -> Multiply with BillboardSize parameter -> Local Space to World Space) with (Camera space to World space -> Multiply with BillboardSize parameter) It seems to fix the problem and still works the same way as before where you can control the size of each of the quad panels.

BEGINNER or not, you are quite good, this will remain the final art?

Mmm ghibli food looks so good

Beautiful scene! Your project is looking awesome!

my favorite ghibli style game

Beautiful work buddy. Keep bringing more of these tutorials

Subscribed. I just found this gem of a channel. I wish you good luck.

amazing work wish you all the best, cant help seeing myself as i started the same indie dev journey when my little girl was born, she's 4 now and has a little brother whos 2, made a lot of mistakes in the beginning mostly from greatly underestimating what it takes to make games (i do art my brother does code) after many ups and downs, couple burnouts and dead periods i finally feel ready as an artist, 4 years ago i made a square cow in blender and now i got to the point where i can solely rely on my own art. you're from Italian Switzerland? Im from turin Btw.

very cool !

Love watching Devlogs, You just gained me in the KZbin family excited to see more

Thank you for not going at mach2 with your mouse as you set things up.

Good luck my friend ! Keep up the amazing work ❤

Sounds like AI voice over, but the world itself looks nice enough, tho i am a fan of high poly, instead of the breath of the wild low poly landscape.

this looks great

I loved your style, I just got into inde game dev last week in my free time as well; this video is so inspirational! I also want to make a video game with the same style, but I'm gonna first make some simpler games in godot :)

nice journey, I subscribed to see more :) I like the idea of the game

Immer wieder spannend, Leute aus der Schweiz oder Deutschland zu finden, die Spiele machen. Und das auch noch allein. Sieht sehr schön aus, deine Open World :)

That’s so beautiful! Subscribed!

I'm also on my gamedev journey. Only a month in so far. It's very inspirational to see what you have achieved

You should take some time looking into critical thinking and design processes when it comes to game design. You seem to have fallen into the trap most early developers do in making something visual with no substance. This isn’t 2 years making an open world game this is 2 years making an environment for an open world game. I understand the grind and the need to want to have a beautiful environment. But that should always be your last concern when it comes to a game. Think of it like a movie. I can setup a pretty set piece, get the lighting correct and have stunning camera work. But if I made it to this point without a plot, actors or any story. By the time I have came up with this story ima have to change 90% of the set.

Hope it is a success 🎉 I am also thinking on making a game in my free time

Really nice Video Patrick, a friend and I (who also live in switzerland) are also creating a game in our free time. You are really inspiring, and a great Motivation to keep on creating the game.

Nice Job

The map looks nice but the waterfalls seems off

Beautiful world building going from squares to scenic landscapes 🌟

You're a real inspiration for a game dev trainee who's learning from KZbin tutorial lmao and imho i never seen any game that looks this gorgeous this different so many anime games looks very similar nowadays yours truly looks special in comparison i really want you succeed take as much time as you can i can't wait to play your game

how u create a water material?, its looks perfect

great work!

Good job!

This looks great ❤ I hope you are proud of what you achieved and continue to have fun with the development of your game! All the best, I'm looking forward to seeing the final results 😊

1:33 quite relatable ahahahahaha Nice video Patrick! I wish you (and your family) the best and I can't wait to see this game fully developed and completed. Now I'm really curious to play it, the concept is interesting, definitely not something that you often see. Great job!!!

Hoffe das du mit dem Spiel weit kommst

Super impressive that you made that big of a map, level design is super hard but you look like you're doing a good job!

We need a tutorial for that! :)

Looks really nice, and what about shader complexity?

oh the reality is so sad and heartbreaking hahahaha

few know the beauty of 3D video game development >_<

This is awesome! Any chance that there will be a video showing how this is done?

This is absolutely amazing!!! thank u so so much for this <3

How are you planning the game testing and what pc specs are you targeting for both minimum and recommended I would like to know your thoughts so that I can do the same for my game

How could you put this banger of a song and not mention its name 😭

just let it stay and the game and whoever enters it is faced against a really strong boss if he killed it then he is better ig

Looks nice! Curious to know more about your story development process and if you are designing quests or so already. And thank you - it’s a lot better without the AI voice over :)

turn it into a boss fight

Game dev: nerf running because Also game dev: doesn't make walking more fun over running, nor remove the tedious of travelling that makes running mandatory 😢

Great work, keep it up! If I could offer one piece of advice, it would be to delve into color theory and lighting. In some areas, there is excessive mixing of colors and contrast, which makes it difficult to understand the environment.
