ahahahahahh, yes. humor.

Looks good. Make some areal landmarks to give player sense of place and help them to make a mind map. Going out from the endless corridors feels good for example. Also simulate like you are playing the level for the first time. Always helps to improve the encounters.

Thank you so much for the feedback!

[@juanfernandojimenezbuitrag2434]

Feels like an amazing gameplay!! amazing job

[@AshnellGames]

Thank you 🙏

[@AdversaryOne]

This is great. I really like the music too.

[@AshnellGames]

Thank you so much

Yoo this is so cool I recently picked up learning the dev side of unreal I have only ever worked on the sound design parts of games I recently built out a level only for a cinematic but I'm making it a playable Third person FPS hybrid level with an adaptive sound, music and footstep system. you have done incredible work man the camera work is probably one of the coolest I've seen.

[@AshnellGames]

Thanks for the support, I will love to play your prototype! On my next video I will show how to Art Direct this blockout to finalized the level design and the video after that I will create the photorealistic cinematic cut scenes!

[@winnersheep]

So cool. I look forward to the game being released😀

[@AshnellGames]

Thank you for the support!

[@zFubarr]

that looks incredible

[@AshnellGames]

Thank you 🙏

[@pennaverdeful]

Did you use the TPS toolkit right? Very nice atmosphere tho :)

[@anytng2077]

While cool, I do think enemies not being alert / reacting to the sounds (like the explosion outside or gunfires inside) is a bit immersion breaking. But nevertheless, great work!

[@AshnellGames]

You are %100 correct. Thank you for the feedback.

[@cxd1]

Really cool design. Would of been a fun feature if when you got the shotgun that door was locked. Then as the player you could use the shotgun to blast the door open.

[@AshnellGames]

No way, that's a great IDEA!

[@cxd1]

@@AshnellGames good way to introduce the player to the mechanic as well.

[@AshnellGames]

I just uploaded a new version with cutscenes, graphics, and sound, I will incorporate the shotgun blasting the door open in the demo release, thank you!

[@Theguitarfreakguy101]

It must have taken you forever to do this! I’m just starting my journey as a game developer.

[@AshnellGames]

a couple of months, I had to redo the level like 5 times this was my first actual attempt on creating a level.

[@scottdelekta7561]

Looks great. May I ask what blockout toolkit you are using?

[@AshnellGames]

Im using Blockout Starter Pack from the UE marketplace.

[@williamscsharpwalkthroughs4316]

Mm impressive :)

[@AshnellGames]

Thank you! 🙏

[@bluesjinsoo]

Good

[@AshnellGames]

Thanks

[@deepelements]

Looking good so far I would add some vertical slices in there somewhere where you have to use a ladder, elevator or stairs to reach some places. Also, I think TPSKit is good to start with but I think you should really working on the locomotion if yuou can. The character slides a lot and it looks strange sometimes.

[@AshnellGames]

I agree with you, this is only a blockout, on this week I will upload a new video with art instead of the blocks, and the next video after that will be polishing the locomotion, adding my animations, polish blueprints, adding the cut scenes, sfx and voice overs!

[@lolaswift111]

this is nice. Did you create the tps controller yourself or use asset? thx

[@AshnellGames]

I use the TPSkit from marketplace, with changes to fit my level. I will be polishing it and make it different to be unic on upcoming videos.

[@lolaswift111]

@@AshnellGames Many thanks. I bought it long time ago and it was buggy. It seems better now. I didn't even recognize it
