A new Prototype Release!
Be sure to test it yourself and let me know of any feedback you may have.
I plan to develop this further ;)
Recently I've been wanting to practice Blueprint-coding a game from scratch in UE again, so I decided to participate in a Game Jam here on Itch.
I joined the WARLords 2023 Game Jam with the theme "Death is not the End" which ran for a bit over a week.
The idea was to create a "simple" FPS with endlessly spawning enemies which pursue and damage the player, who is able to re-spawn after being destroyed.
So "dying" won't be the typical game over.
But instead of one week as planned, it took me longer than the deadline, almost past the following voting-phase, to finish my basic gameplay loop ._.
Nonetheless, it was a gratifying experience developing my own idea and I'll certainly keep working on this to eventually reach my vision.
Speaking of which, the thumbnail (and first picture of this devlog) is a quick concept I created of the visual mood and style I have in mind.
But until I'll start to properly work on art assets, I want to nail down the whole gameplay loop. Making sure it feels great to play first and foremost.
Which is where I invite you to test my Prototype and leave feedback and suggestions of what and where to improve!
I hope you have fun and I'll keep you posted on further updates and developments.
Cheers! ^_^
