Hey everyone,

Just wanted to share this out of excitement! I started UE5 3 weeks ago with no prior game dev experience (except a Flappy Bird clone that I made with Unity 3 years ago)

Although the game jam was 10 days, I spent 7 of them learning basic UE5 features for the game. The last 3 days I have spent my whole days on the game and it is done. I spent 3 hours packaging the game since I always had issues and it was lots of trials and errors but the satisfaction I got was so good. I wish I had filmed my reaction when the game was finally built after 3 hours of troubleshooting at 3 am.

If you want to check the game (which is far from perfect and super short) https://bloodcatters.itch.io/01-bacteria

If you want to see my progress that I document  https://www.instagram.com/bloodcatters_unreal_progress/

Cant wait to play other games and see how the theme was interpreted by other people.

This experience is quite fun but super exhausting, I think I will take a break for a while because for the last 10 days, most of my life was UE5 :D
