Landscape painting in Unreal Engine 5. This plus some good folk music = best late nights ever.

Starting off this landscape with just 4 biomes (out of 8). Needs more work, but I'm liking this as a starting point!!~

Needs some visual improvement but it's enough to prototype some gameplay. TETRIS INVENTORY.

Programmer art is never pretty, but when the tech works, its so darn beautiful.

Guys, Steven doesn't seem too happy. I think cart physics has become more difficult than he thought. #gamedev #indiegame #unrealengine #UE5 #pridemonth

Not too bad honestly, especially for a first attempt. What do you think can be improved?

How do you guys handle "rubble" 3d assets? Do you use scatter algorithms? Or simulations?

Brick by brick, the low poly graybox is underway!
I'm finding this step really helpful in solving the design problems that a blockout wouldn't have highlighted.

Number 1 most annoying thing in Unreal. Scaling multiple objects together. How is this still not a thing?

Quick fly-through of the level blockout. Any final tips? I think it feels good.

This is prototype B for the spiral tower. This time the camera follows the player. This has to be my least favourite solution, it's very disorienting and doesn't achieve any of my design goals. Gonna try out some of your ideas next!

This is prototype A for the spiral staircase. A tight, locked view with a "hole punch" view. I don't really like it, any ideas for a different approach?
