I wanted to get really hands on within a game Engine so I decided to put on my big boy pants and get stuck in on a game.
At first I had a crack at making a simple 2d platformer with unreal. I got the lil fella moving and was able to add basic sounds to the animations. I even made my own sprites. The aim was here was to build the game and use Wwise to implement the sounds.
It wasn't enough!
I guess in terms of the types of games I'd love to work on I really needed to understand the blueprints system, how they're constructed and how the logic works.
In terms of audio, I've decided to abandon Wwise for the time being and just get to grips with what UE has to offer. My thinking here is that I understand the core of what's on offer I can make more creative decisions.
So anyway here's my plan, I'm going to follow these tutorials.
Progress so far...
I've set up my first person guy and began building my level, I've already picked loads up interms of how the blueprints work especially when blending animations. I'm trying not to focus too much on sounds just yet but it's cool cool to get ideas on the fly.
I'll post some more content as I go, hopefully once I have the core mechanics down Ill go back over and tweak aesthetics.
