WIP in WIP, post your level screenshots!

Not sure where we can post stuff like this, but I've been messing about with making my own little retro shooter game for a while now. Everything is very WIP, I'm mainly just using it to learn how to code with blueprints in UE4. You can see more updates on my Twitter feed. https://twitter.com/LiamTart

Here's the latest vid showing off hitscan weapon firing and basic 2d weapon animation. So much fun to figure out all these little problems. I see making a game as a huge mountain of problems that you have to slowly solve to ascend.. lol. 

And another vid that shows off the first implementation of the lit weapon sprite, and the door blueprint in action:

@PogoP you can make your own thread in the 3D section or Gaming/Game Development if you're pursuing this as a serious project. But this works fine too. Any more info about it, inspiration, scope?

Looks awesome @PogoP
Go ahead and create your own thread man, keeps things organized.

How did you make that gun sprite? I've got my mind set on a similar genre and style

New Wip: Penrose . The philosophy this one is pretty simply, the higher up you go on the spiraling prism, the less dance floor you have at your leisure

I was working on some litle nighttime scene and then just made the scene to be a bombsite. It's a old industrial kind of city with one bombsite below a railway and the other bombsite will be in some more indoor kind of area like a big hangar or fabric, still didn't decide. I will just go on with the flow and see where it takes me. It's not my original workflow, but it's fun so far

I made a traditional pre-war German house for Reich (de_reich). All of the brush/displacement textures are fully custom! I might add some chimneys though. And I'll be sure to add more at the entrances.

Doing some quick prototypes for @prodeusgame enemy attacks. I'll keep posting them as they come down the pipeline. This attack is for an alternate version of the skull fish thing we've got.

@General Vivi Oooh I love this kind of stuff ^^

[leplubodeslapin 1,274]

@General Vivi It's a really cool idea ! And great execution !

I have the feeling that the sphere hits the player maybe a few frames too early, it would be a bit more permissive to make it hurt the player a bit later and maybe this scary ennemy would be even more impressive if it got even closer ? Just a thought

[General Vivi 1,417]

@TheOnlyDoubleF - Thanks! I do to

@leplubodeslapin - Yeah, it definitely will! The overlap for the sphere was a bit too large, the idea is that he would be a lot closer to the player when he "explodes".

So I'm about to start working on a map of Germania, the German Reich World Capital that was never constructed. I'm taking a huge inspiration from the version depicted on Man In the High Castle. My Only Question before I start work on it is: Am I Allowed to use Swastikas on the Map? or do they have to be Iron Crosses?

Hi guys!  I haven't really posted here for awhile; trying to step up and post a little more!

Honestly terrified of posting this but I've been practicing on exterior scenes, planning on working on the Skyline, redoing the Tree's and having a small stream running down the middle

They're prohibited symbols in some countries, so your safest bet would definately be to not include them. That being said, it'd probably not be a huge issue, as apparantly plenty of WW2 games have used it so far (and swapped it for an Iron Cross depending on what country the player is in). I guess it also depends on what the goal of your map is:

A scene? - Doesn't seem like a huge issue to me.

MP map? - Iffy, as it means one team will be the "Nazi's".

SP map? - I'm guessing you'll be battling the Nazi's in that case.

Absolutely no need to be terrified. This is looking great

Well, the Iron Cross is probably your best bet if you want people in countries like Austria to be able to see/play it.

Also, cool idea! I love anything related to Germany since I have lot's of heritage from there
