Learning Game Dev in 1 Week? 💀

[@Floky]

Check out this video here to see how this story continues! ;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJO7g2Rvar6ric0

[@Sl33pySt3rdust]

This video actually motivated me to continue learning game development, thank you ^^ awesome game btw

[@Floky]

Hey, that's great to hear! And thank you!

[@pterafier]

Amazing job holy cow that's a lot for a week! Btw, instead of drawing a line trace to check if you're on the ground, there's an "on landed" boolean built in to blueprint that you can use. Not sure if it'll work if you don't take one of the pre-made character controllers but I imagine it would lol

[@quantum965]

I did NOT expect to see you here

[@minilabyrinth]

You can use the blueprint node "is in air?" or whatever it's called, and if false, then don't jump. Or also, make an event "on ground landed" and restore your available jump charges

[@Floky]

Yeah, I couldn't figure out how to make it work with a character that doesn't have the unreal character component so I just gave up on that... 😂

[@minilabyrinth]

@@Floky If its a physics object, enable "generate hit events" then in blueprints you can use an "on hit" event and make something happen when you collide with anything (such as landing on ground). I noticed this plays nonstop for rolling balls so you gotta filter out ground movement by putting a branch before your stuff and checking the vector length of the hit, then only continuing if its above a certain amount

[@TylerGreen]

The game looks really fun which is a hard thing to do! Really nice editing and crazy to believe it’s your first devlog

"it felt very satisfying to play with my ball with my physics"

[@Floky]

Hey! Don't you dare take that out of context! 😂

[@charzxd6515]

to fix the jumping without being on the ground, you could use a "branch" with the condition with " is falling" if your falling, do nothing, if you are not not, jump

[@Floky]

The "Is falling node" is not automatically available to a pawn that is not a child of the default unreal engine character class... I heard you can still easily get it onto your pawn but haven't looked into it yet, also I didn't want to use the default character class because I wanted to understand how the nodes like the "IsFalling" work 😁 But big thanks for the input 👍

[@charzxd6515]

[@ShawnRay]

I just spent the last 2 days on character movement hehe. Several hours spent on the ground detection and jumping mechanic.

[@Floky]

Yeah that's a hard one

[@ShawnRay]

I’ll share how I did it just in case it helps you in the future. I put a box collider at my characters feet to detect ground collision. Then I put a sphere collider over the character but a little bit higher than the feet to allow for easy movement up steps. I hear that ray casting is better, and while I did try it I could get the visual ray to show up to see what I was doing, so I did the box collider which is basically the same thing if just a tad worse.

[@iamkingaimz]

New subscriber here. 🙂loving the videos. This one was definitely inspiring. Great to see your project coming to fruition. That part where you mentioned going to sleep with your project in mind, then getting inspiration from Inception (which is my all time favorite movie by the way), gave me chills. It just resonated with me on so many levels. Keep doing the good work, sir. 💪

[@GamerMasterOFCL]

There is a jump function in unreal.... it automatically does everything for you...

[@Floky]

I didn't take the ingame character, I made a completely new pawn and I made everything physics based and did not use the ingame character movement presets since I wanted to learn how everything works in case I want to do it myself :) But thank you for the tip!

[@ox-mox]

@@Floky I think he means, that there is a "is falling" boolean in the Animation Blueprint, where you can hang on to to dedicate if you are falling or if you are on the ground. Probably the same result in the end :)

[@Floky]

@@ox-mox yeah I understand, but since I'm not using the char BP but just a pawn I can't use the char movement nodes 😁 Thanks for the help tho 😁

I knew about it but I didn't know how to put in on static mesh since the "is falling" node is only available for pawns with a skeletalmesh and the character movement component... Or at least that's what I thought at the time

Great game, pretty dificult! Thanks for sharing

[@dibaterman]

I think most chose Unity because it had a very, very low bar for entry that made it so anyone can experiment and learn. Unreal for decades had done like everyone else until Unity challenged that model. Now it seems like the rest of the industry is getting behind the Unity model. Before Unity there were others sure, but they were for very specific things. Some even limited you to working within 32x32. Just some history and perspective.

[@Floky]

Very interesting! Thank you for the insight :D

[@SynthToshi]

once you learn unity you should pick up unreal no problem. for me my 4k envi look way better in unreal 5

[@Athasin]

I think most people chose Unity because it was the cheapest of the two engines, which made it perfect for Indie studios. Then since everyone was using it, there were more tutorials. But since Epic changed their pricing and revenue split, people are going towards Unreal, so give it a few years and you might start seeing more tutorials for it.

[@diegovazquez8609]

Nice work. It feels pretty solid for being made is that short time. I'm trying to make a marble game but simpler, just the marble movement physics but I can't make the marble move so smoothly. Would you mind letting me see at your ball blueprint?

[@Floky]

Sorry for the late reply! Anyways, I don't mind letting you look at my code BUT I'm not sure it would help you much with your game since my movement is controlled through inputs and so not really similar to a marble :/

[@diegovazquez8609]

@@Floky If you don't mind sharing it with me, it would be awesome. I just want to achieve that smooth movement (already tried your game and it feels just right), I'm also following the same skillshare tutorial but I'm frustrated on how the marble moves, its really slow. I'm looking to create a simple marble platformer.

I really enjoyed watching this video (which I can't say about most other devlogs) - it was pretty fun, especially the non-sponsorship part. I'll check your other videos soon:) I am proficient with Unity and numerous programming languages (including C++), but when I tried to learn Unreal Engine in ~10 days and make a game for Epic Jam (I started learning a bit before the jam), I failed - Unreal was too hard. As a KZbinr myself, I am always curious: how much did it take you (approximately) to make this video? (Oh, man, editing is my pain-point) What was your editing "timeline"? (e.g. 1 day recording (or maybe you recorded as-you-go), 3 days editing, 3 days effects, etc.)

[@Floky]

I record my screen on the go but then I do about 5h of Skript writing, 2h of filming, 2h thumbnail stuff, and around 10-15h editing 😅 Game dev usually takes me about 40h per week as well 😝

This is not really true, I always was transparent with how I did it and even what course I followed (as shown in the video), but I redid the entire movement system, the jumps, dash and even most of the grapples code is entirely me, the terrain mechanics are also mostly created by myself without tutorial... I don't know exactly what you expected but I think I've put enough of my own thoughts and code to call it my own and even the things that came from the guide is mostly changed to fit in with the rest...
