Started working on the vehicle destruction system. Everything will have a health system to destroy. Decals on translucent materials (glass) are an issue. If anyone has suggestions please let me know! #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloStudio #BlueSky #Cars #Windshield #Destruction #Glass #UnrealEngine #UE5

Started to implement a seamless cover system on the pillars. It's going well as you can tell (LOL). It's progress so I'll take it! This is a major gameplay mechanic I want to be close to perfect. #UE5 #Unreal #GameDev #Bug #SoloStudio #Cover #Peek #Arcade #Shooter #Art #BlueSky
