Thank you! Optimisation is easier as I learn more. Some things are more obvious, like code calculations. Some are harder to predict, like making slimes transparent turns the CPU into a volcano 🔥

@@BunyipHutch I wonder what causes the issues when it comes to transparency, I've got a few transparent objects in my game but they don't seem to cause any issues. I think the main thing I've needed to optimise are the enemies, especially having enemies already placed when the level loads as opposed to having them spawn in as needed. I also limited how often enemies detect where the player is, as having them recalculate the route to the player every single frame is a bit overkill and not really necessary.

Thanks for following the process, it is always great to hear from you 🌟 New projects are always exciting too, I write new ideas down so I don't distract myself from the main project but the list is loooooong 😂

@@BunyipHutch yeah it’s hard to not come up with a million new ideas

Thanks, I am super proud of it but will work on it more! ✨ Are you also developing a game now?

@@BunyipHutch yea, atleast I was. I was very inexperienced 6 months ago with ue5, but my brother gave me a game idea to get back into game development, and this month I finished the first level, but I'm done with the project just because I don't have the motivation to continue on my brothers idea, so now I'm going to start on my dream game =)

It is so much easier to motivate yourself if its an idea you are really personally passionate about 🥳

Definitely agree! The camera and sky box both need to be made, otherwise it has that default Unreal Engine feel to the scene 💭

Never left, been learning Blueprints and building slime mechanics a lot though 🐌 How is your game dev?

@@BunyipHutch havent had any good time for it sadly

Thank you ✨

I APPRECIATE THE ENTHUSIASM 😆 I am making the game now, do not have a name yet. You may like the other bosses I am making.

Happy it helps you in your projects! 🥳

Thanks! Really enjoying the 3D modelling, probably need to spend more time coding 🤭

@@BunyipHutch yea lol

Thanks! 😃

Definitely sounds like I need to remake the first version 😂

Thanks 😃 I am also remaking it for the 10th time to be even cuter!!!

It is cycling through the eyes like the flip book in Unreal Engine 5 😃

I gotta work on my Epic and Legendary next 😃

I'll take it, average means halfway there ✨

Old but gold, I still like it as well 😊

Thanks, I do like the gems and colors ❤

Going for a happy color scheme with slimes 🫠

Yes!!! That is exactly what I did on my other short with the purple slime -> 2D on 3D 😃 cool method

@@BunyipHutch oh thank you, didn't watch that one yet cause its been in my reels xD I'm sure to follow your game now, i like how the artstyle gets more defined with each upload

+1 to ol' naturel, thanks!

I am still learning and testing different styles, thanks for appreciating the rugged rough danger stick ~

Maybe it will look better in context of the game 😊 thanks for feedback still, helps me gauge the audience

Haha, school comes first!

@@BunyipHutch yea wish i could be focusing on coding but i think in maybe 2 years i will have a real chance if my mind stil is set on it

Meow ~

I respect that, I do like it as well 😊

I will do that next, learning more sculpting bits before I scratch it up 😃

It is getting more love than expected, so thanks!

Aw, but I like both ;_;

Zap zap ⚡️

​@@BunyipHutch Fire burns. Lighting is power.

Thanks! I hope to repurpose it one day 😊 I am trying different styles

Thor would approve 🔨

A battle axe to fight nature itself 😂

@@BunyipHutch the second ones colors is pretty good so what you should do to make it perfect is combine them. the blade of the first and the color handle of the second

Toasty and with fire sparks?

Yeah, it is one step above tying a piece of ore to a stick but it has its charm for sure 😁

Tbh rusty one actually usable for wood chopping, not a New one Who look too cartoony and double bladed for no reason

Yes! It helps build the skills in the practical way, learning and applying knowledge practically helps understand and memorize. Can'[t wait to start my dream game but need to learn a lot first with this one.

Glad it was helpful for your project! I am also struggling to find a comprehensive tutorial as it is more advanced and has less channels dedicated to it. I google topic by topic and stitch it together: UV unwrapping basics, UV unwrapping for UE, UV unwrapping procedural materials, baking maps, etc. until I have an understanding of it for my project. Grant Abbitt has some basics, but still gotta research the gaps. Would love to make a tutorial series about it, but tutorials get close to no recognition and take days to put together and edit 😵

Yess, currently working on animations, eye blinks, ear wiggles, etc. which will all be part of different slimes...

@@BunyipHutch damn alr you're rlly good at being a gamedev unlike me

Post devlog 😁

@@BunyipHutch should i orr sry im brain dead rn

Cute !

Thank you for support, chipping away at it daily! In terms of motivation, I would swap it for discipline - 30 min a day actually doing game dev will make you sky rocket in skills, and I mean doing because watching tutorials feels rewarding but it all gets lost if you don't apply it... been there, done that and it was not productive. In terms of financials, terrible 😁 would not recommend it at all

Thanks, the slimes are getting better and now animated for Devlog 1. How is your project going?

@@BunyipHutch well i am currently sick with the flu thats why its taking a while but otherwise its going great

Thanks for watching! 😊

Hello hello 😊

Thanks, already posting some shorts about it 😊 on my channel

I gotta learn everything myself first 😃 Even if I ever use other 3D assets, it is good to know the whole workflow from concept to in-game asset. Music is tough though!

Functional? No. Did I do my best? Also no... 😃

@@BunyipHutch exactly me

Thanks 😂
