dx12 is not supported on your System

Hey everyone!

Just a quick heads up about a pesky bug that's been popping up in versions 9/25/2023 and beyond. Some of you might have encountered an annoying "dx12 is not supported on your System..." message, leading to an immediate crash.

After some brainstorming with Indominus9716 (thanks, buddy!), we discovered th...

Behind the Scenes: A Deeper Dive into Gameplay

Hey folks,

I wanted to share some more details about a gameplay element that I've been eager to implement from the get-go. It's an idea I stumbled upon in a game called Corta's Platformer, and it caught my attention. You can check out that game here: 2023-09-07 16:11:01 +0000 UTC View Post

Behind the Scenes: GPU-Grilling Adventures

Hey folks,

Just dropping in with a quick update on the latest happenings in our prototype project. Lately, I've been diving into the world of Foliage and Landscape techniques, which is pretty new territory for me in UE5. It's been a learning curve, to say the least.

I've been tinkering with these features to enhance the visual experi...

Story - BEYOND FRIENDSHIP

Hey everyone,

I've been working on some major improvements to my dialogue systems recently which have taken up most of my time and energy. I wanted to share a bit of the progress we making behind the scenes, even if the changes aren't visible yet.

In the meantime, we put together a short side story set in the same universe as "Herald...

Nightly build 02/10/2023

Hey all!

A new test build now includes Inverse Kinematics (IK) implementation for every paired animation. This might look like a small update, but let us tell you, there was a ton of work behind the scenes to get this done. We had to redesign some important parts of the prototype and it was a real challenge, but we're confident it will be ...

Nightly build 01/31/2023

Dear Patrons,

This is an updated version of test build, which we would like you to try. It includes the same features as the previous one, but with a significant change in how actions are controlled under hood. We finished to replace the previously programming with gameplay abilities, which allows us to separate game states and switch them...

Nightly build 01/16/2023

[Herald] Development stage

Hello guys!

Long time no report. That's what we did during this period:

1. Motion Matching (MM) has been implemented. This took longer than expected as we had to switch to another plugin that was more reliable and flexible to use. We will use MM only with the main characters. NPCs such as mob agents will use a very simple State Machi...
