Unreal Dev Showcase | Road to Hollow Hills by Nightwolf Games

[@Robahue]

Hi Ben! Many thanks for playing the beta/demo! It is wonderful as we could see many flaws we want to fix before releasing the public demo on steam! Hopefully you can publish an entire let's play (and I hope you can find the battery, nor a car battery! hint: explore the river, or even take a look and the memories section in the inventory!) Cheers, -Nacho

Hey, Nacho, glad to know the video is valuable to you! Yeah, I wasn't originally looking for a car battery, but once I found it, it just made too much sense that it was what I was looking for, since I couldn't find any other batteries, haha. The reason I didn't explore the river more, is because every time I stepped into it, the message about it being dark and deep (or whatever it said) kept popping up. This message then made me think I wasn't actually supposed to go around in it. I suggest you only show this message the first time the player steps into it.

@@BenOrmstad it makes totally sense, and that's really helpful to see your player point of view. I will make it more clear, and less obstuse, as getting the battery it is a main item for the game!

Nice to see you again. Hope you are not playing ..eh I mean working to much 😉 Great job with the books!

[@BenOrmstad]

Thanks, man! I'm probably working way too much, but shit... that's how it has to be when one is trying to build something from scratch :)

[@Ali107]

it's been a while since we heard from you. Glad to see you again, but I have some questions though... What happened to the Game Dev Central website? Do you still accept trying out unfinished/demo games? Why are upload frequency had plummeted to less than 1 video per year? (don't answer if it's not comfortable for you to talk about your life) We are still here for you, hope you have a great day! :)

[@BenOrmstad]

Hey, Ali! I had to shut down Game Dev Central because it took SOOO much of my time, and no-one ever bothered to actually pay for any of the products. There were hundreds of downloads every month, but the entire two-three years I worked on the platform, I think I only made about fifty bucks, lol! Hence, being only one person, I didn't have time to deal with it when there weren't any profits to be made. Sure, I still accept game projects, but since I'm mainly focusing on my writing and a website / Google Ads-business now, I can't promise when I'll get to them. Feel free to send me your project, though. The writing and website business are also the reasons for the plummet in upload frequency, although I am aiming to release a little bit more often going forward. I'll probably stick with Unreal Dev Showcase / Feedback videos, though, as I don't have time for all the work involved in creating tutorials. Well, at least that's my current plan. Life has a way of changing, so who knows :) Have a great day, you too, dude!

@@BenOrmstad Understandable, best of luck with your writing. Also, I have a project for testing. Later if I remember, I will email it to you. Ignore the old emails I sent long ago, I stopped working on these old games so I can work on my current game. The old games I sent like Physics Playground where either abandoned or postponed until I finish my game one by one.

I rarely care about a youtuber who's last upload was over a year ago or the likes, if not more. But you? Your content is always interesting, anything from tutorials to these UDS feedback/criticism/review videos. I enjoy it~

[@BenOrmstad]

Thanks, man, glad to know you like the vids! They're not going away, even though I'm posting less frequently. I don't have too much time for Unreal Engine at the moment, but sure, UE5 is exciting - each iteration of Unreal brings with it awesome new possibilities that will boost games' quality, performance and graphics, so I'm very much looking forward to what awaits us in the near future :)
