Hey There,

This is a Devlog! I'm super excited to make this! 

So I guess I should start by saying what I'm making. We are making a game where the narrative and Metroid style exploration is the focus. The game takes place on a space station and the player will have to unlock different section by finding these gems. There will be a soft faction system in the game and some combat, but you know, just started and all so still fleshing out ideas. 

Now these gems are going to serve a lot of functions. The gems are going to be associated with the faction the player will look like along with what weapon they are currently using. This will help the player explore this space station in a MetroidVania style (where new gems may be needed for this section of the station, but the base of the station is open to go and see).

Its a 3D game, so we are currently learning Blender and animations, while also finding assets in the unreal marketplace and making sure they are good to use, from a design aspect and a "are we aloud to use this and sell the game).

After a couple of us graduate in a month, we are gonna start ramping up production more and more, but we are excited to get started on this! 

Also here is a screenshot of the player ship/player hub area we have started constructing with the placeholder model and some dope AF static meshes (I am sorry for saying dope af)! Not much to see but you know, fun times!

Thank you for joining us while we attempt our first indie game! Have a great day!
