Join me in this devlog and see how I fail trying to create the main character for my indie game Resttore using Unreal Engine 5, Blender and some other tools.
Check out Brian's course on basic animation with blender. it's a bit expensive but totally worth it. I personally will be using this course to learn how to make animations for Bob.

I’ve seen a lot of comments nitpicking design or implementation methods, and trying to backseat drive development. I just wanted to say that I think the work you’ve done so far is phenomenal, and I’m pumped to see what you continue to do 👍

[@MadstonMagic]

I have been watching so many Devlogs lately and I am absolutely loving all the projects people are working on lately. These are people with actual passion for games rather than asset dumps.

[@Brosquini]

This looks so awesome! definitely add a vault mechanic and mantle mechanic to make the movement much smoother, also I think you should try to start work on a bit of combat, it would be awesome if the character had a needle like sword from hollow knight silk song. Keep up the good work!

[@s4bishii]

I'm adding it to the list for when I get back to work on the character

[@Brosquini]

@@s4bishii Nice! what are you working on now?

[@darksapphire6829]

​@SΛBISHII Unreal added a Vault mechanic plug in for its free monthly content. Not sure if you checked it out or not.

[@s4bishii]

@@Brosquini I plan to start with the inventory system next

[@s4bishii]

@@darksapphire6829 Yes I got it, I still need to check it out tho

[@Pierrethatsit]

Hey just wanted to say that putting a mask on a character is also a great way for the player to identify to them. It's never a bad idea :)

[@BrianKouhi]

Thanks for the shout out! ♥

[@s4bishii]

Thank you for the opportunity

[@lilpenguincoding9528]

that thing with blender exporting with the measurements caused me a lot of trouble when I first started unreal, so it is nice to know that I don't have to scale every model to 1000x the original size.

[@s4bishii]

Some things never change 🤣

[@Calb1313theGamer]

Great devlog! You inspire me to continue at my goals of game development, and thank you for sharing your process and especially the difficulties you encountered.

[@TheRealLoopDev]

For the climbing you can use procedural animation

[@s4bishii]

Yeah, I need to look into procedural animations to adjust the hand and foot postions

[@YahyaDanboos]

Nice and quick update! Your videos are really entertaining! 😁

[@s4bishii]

Thanks :D

[@russellcameronthomas2116]

to the climbing animations, you might add some that indicate slipping, hesitation, anxiety. Unless the player character is a Ninja... Likewise for swimming: coming up for air, struggling a bit, momentarily DogPaddling, etc

[@s4bishii]

Great, all added to the todo list. Thank you for the detailed feedback!

[@AchHadda]

I have a small secret on how to rig your character without having to weight paint every accessory. You can make a shape around the character. and apply Mesh Deform modifier. hope this makes sense

[@s4bishii]

Oooooh, I have to try that, I had no idea, thanks for the tip

[@astropolski]

Sliding, wall jumping, slide jump, crouch jump, wall jumping, ledge hanging/moving, there's a bunch you could do, depends

[@s4bishii]

Adding all that to the to-do list

[@smortonmedia]

LOVE these devlog vids. Seeing the process from start to finish and implementing goals and showing the common challenges is both beautiful and also really really inspiring

[@s4bishii]

I'm glad you liked it :)

[@harshshukla2951]

IT REALLY FUN TO WATCH YOUR VIDS DUDE! Very encouraging

[@TBEagl]

You can change the scale of a rig under the export options when you export FBX so you don't have to deal with it inside of Blender!

[@s4bishii]

Ohhhhh, I need to try that, thanks for the advice!

[@CAxPH]

Oh oh, add sliding when on a slope

[@s4bishii]

Sure

[@Turminal1]

Some Titanfall 2 wallrunning and Just Cause Wingsuit movement would be awesome, maybe add a hookshot or grapple swinging too?

[@s4bishii]

Added to the list!

[@MaxMakesGames]

Making a whole custom character is mad impressive. Good job !

[@cromrin]

Hey you can just scale the bones in unreal, go to edit mesh, ctrl + A to select all and modify the scale. Lot less touble then changing things in blender.

[@s4bishii]

no way, I wish I knew this back then, thanks for the tip!

[@cromrin]

@@s4bishii no problem bro, If you want any help with your game, ue, blender. Let me know I like contributing to indie games.👍

[@s4bishii]

@@cromrin awesome, thanks! will keep it in mind!

[@dairrizzle9715]

I recommend looking into interactable around the world that could aid in the puzzle solving, like boxes or other object that need to be move/place in order to progress in a puzzle or area. And just came across your videos today and watch all of them in a row, as an aspiring level designer and environment artist myself, the work your are putting into Resttore is giving me even more motivation to keep on working towards the dream. So keep working at it cant wait to see what you do next,

[@s4bishii]

I'm glad my devlogs helps you somehow :) I plan to add puzzles and physical interactions in the game, but that isn't a priority yet.

[@entityunknown2]

maybe instead of climbing add vaulting its less likely to exploit the enemy ai later on

[@s4bishii]

mmmm true

[@sophie6744]

your devlogs are so entertaining and I love how even though you're skilled, you don't shy away from showing where things were hard or where you messed up. Your problem solving skills are fantastic and your work sofar is really inspiring!! :D

[@M_TalksQ8]

BOTW art style + UE5 + open world ... I'm so excited .. other movements? I think gliding .. using bow .. falling from huge distance .. moving bob hands like he is in a middle of a conversation .. sprinting .. melee attacks .. holding an object .. eating .. cooking

[@s4bishii]

Great ideas, I'll definitely add some of those in the future

[@rydeurkill]

I love your devlog, because you approach it with a beginner's eye, which allows me to receive information and logic that I have never seen before, which allows me to learn everything that is usually hidden by other youtuber, to which you find yourself confronted without having predicted it, in "WTF IS THIS HOLLY MOLLY FUC*ING SH*T?!"

[@s4bishii]

'Bob was happy'... and so were we, dude, so were we xDDD. For real, tho, the dimensions are always a mindf*ck in any system whatsoever, so no wonder you're first try was f***. Good thing you figured out the trick. As for the rest, well, get to work! Even I want to see the end result even if it's only a first demo!!!!

[@nickcamilo9207]

Surely you'll need a landing animation for longer falls that is more intense for higher heights. Perhaps even a bit of dust particles for foot impacts.

[@YannAbdel]

I really like the art style

[@AdamDonCosta]

put a weapon on his back, or a cape that moves with physics (makes it look more like a game) or maybe a backpack

[@s4bishii]

Yeah, more physics would help a lot

@@s4bishii Yeah, i always feel alot of indie third person games forget to make the character feel like they are moivng and apart of the world

[@Easy_Nop]

[@lbatiot]

Interesting AND hilarious!

[@fafuccino]

Quick thing about rigging in Blender and all : when you're weight painting a character, you should 99% of the time turn on "Auto Normalize" in the Tool Options. It is not turned on by default for some obscure reasons but it's a life saver. (it makes sure that what you're painting can't have more than 100% of influence, i.e if you paint something red for one bone, it's gonna be blue for every other bone.)

[@s4bishii]

dude, no way, now I feel dumb as f*ck 🤣

[@wentworthmiller1890]

Neat update mate! Like that you mention those who've solved the problems you ran into. It'd be that much cooler to give the links to their specific tutorials also! Will probably get Brian's course on animation basics. If there's a discount on it at some point, even sweeter!

[@s4bishii]

You're right, I'm going to start linking the tutorials and infos I use for the devlogs, I wasn't doing it cause I'm lazy 😓 I talked to Brian and he only offers discounts on special occasions, I can't tell you when the next discount is I'm sorry.

[@wentworthmiller1890]

@@s4bishii Oh you actually talked to Brian for a discount?!? Dude you are AWEOME! I didn't mean for you to actually ask for it. Just meant that he'd probably offer some around occasions, which I (and probably other viewers) would love to benefit from. And I won't call you lazy mate, you're putting out quality stuff already, while maintaining a day job! As everyone gets inspired by your work, and learns from the sources that helped you, everyone wins! Pat yourself on your back, you're a winner! 😊😊

[@messihbetter]

You can make a chest system that has random items, once opened the item will go to your inventory.

[@s4bishii]

Good idea!

[@eduardoaraujogarcia9026]

genial, la forma que lo explicas es muy sencilla y facil de absorber. estare atento a este canal

[@pocketlint4182]

This game already looks super cool and promising! I don't have any good feedback for the game itself, but I would recommend reminding the audience what the game is about at the beginning of every dev log so people don't have to go and watch your first dev log just to understand what's going on. Something as simple as "My open world, story and exploration driven RPG," or something like that may help people immediately understand more about your vision for the game so any feedback from the comments could be a bit more relevant. I look forward to seeing where this goes dude!!

[@s4bishii]

Oh, I hadn't thought of that, great feesback, I'll be sure to do that from now on.

Hey there! I caught up and I already love Bob. I have two ideas for Bob. Leaning and Sitting. Imagine Bob leaning against a tree with a big grass field in the background, maybe with a toothpick or a flute when idling? Or imagine Bob sitting in a relaxed manner on a rock. Bob needs some rest after all that movement. And as a bonus for movement specifically. Well....can Bob do the Naruto Run? Love the project so far! Keep it up!

[@s4bishii]

Nice ideas, I can imagine those cinematic shots. I'll work on that later. PS: Maybe I'll do the naruto run just for the LOLs 😂
