I'm continuing to work on the anomaly gameplay. I've figured out all the states and how it will be, so all that's left is to create the code, or rather said, visually drops the nodes in Blueprints. Unreal Engine has kept me away from plain text coding for 2 years now #gamedev #indiedev #scifi #games

Under the hood, developer's kitchen! Prototyping anomaly (ball lighting). The player needs to learn how to catch with a Faraday cage, weakening the power by mystical Sci-Fi device - attenuator. These anomalous beings are part of the energy flow. Catch and return to the system

For those who remember the Windows 95 or 98 boot image, you might like my joke. If I make a computer with an OS in the game, I will call it WinDoors 95 and the image will look like this (its from The Walking Dead). My dev genius deep sarcasm 🤪

Sometimes I think about spending 2 hours a day creating another game. I have hundreds of ideas. But a long time ago, a cool person from game development and startups gave me advice: one project at a time! But that was a different time, without the technology we have now. #gamedev

That's what I'm talking about! 5 minutes to create a model inside Unreal Engine instead of using a simple cube, and prototype is already much nicer to look at. What will it be? It's a mystical Sci-Fi device - attenuator #gamedev #indiedev #UnrealEngine #scifi

I'm a programmer, not a 3D modeler. I'm currently working on gameplay with an anomaly + I'm Unreal Engine propagandist, so I decided that I should make several devices instead of using simple cubes, practice on the way to finally start learning Blender #gamedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEpP...

I started making a ball lighting. I've been putting this off for a long time. It's going to have some interesting game mechanics. The player needs to learn how to catch with a Faraday cage, because these anomalous beings are part of the energy flow #UnrealEngine #UE5 #gamedev #indiedev

My Saturday game dev started with experimenting with Bounding Box Based node in Unreal Engine. I think this material could be the basis for the object scanning effect #gamedev #indiedev #UnrealEngine #UE5

You will be born in a technical ring in a crater on the Moon. In CHARGE.R, every location is a puzzle space filled with various tasks related to restoring energy store.steampowered.com/app/4524700/... #ScreenshotSaturday #scifi #videogames #UnrealEngine #UE5

I think the life of a stand-up comedian resembles that of an indie game dev in various aspects: model, emotions, about your life and dreams, the audience that watches and listens to it... oh my god, I could be a stand-up comedian. Great Scott!

Before Unreal Engine, about 5 years my tools was Unity and Visual Studio. The programming language is C#. I wrote a lot of code every day. The last time it was in 2024. Unreal changed me, a programmer who has been writing code for 20+ years, has only used Blueprints for last 2

When I finally switched from Unity to Unreal Engine, it happened in the summer of 2024, every day, experimenting and working, I recorded videos, my dev log result, sometimes more than one. ~4000 files during this time. Here is an example from February 2025 #gamedev #indiedev

Why would the flashlight be like that? I understand that a robot could have this inside it, or if it's Gordon Freeman, his suit would have this. But it would be more atmospheric to have a sci-fi torch, because where you are, the environment will burn this light bulb inside you #gamedev #indiedev

What's going on here? Some kind of energy flow, objects that can be thrown at it... this is just the beginning of the puzzle. Dear player, this game is for you if you like mysticism, peace, science fiction

I saw Unreal Engine material example about Custom Rotator node in the feed, and decided that I should reveal it more. Sorry, I forgot where I saw it. But I have little of the original. Almost everything can be done differently #gamedev #UnrealEngine #UE5 #vfx www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfeO...

I often look back at my old video prototypes. I made this a 1+ year ago, now I want to use it. The gameplay will be simple at first glance, but I want it to be interesting, to get this sphere into a Faraday cage. Maybe it will be a reference to the energy balls from Half-Life 2

Under the hood, developer's kitchen! Prototyping... The conveyor belt will be part of some puzzle scenes. This is a very draft version, but there will be something between the belts that will repel objects (impulse thrower) #gamedev

A month has passed so quickly since the game Steam page appeared. I didn't even notice it, because the development process is like a hypnosis, a cycle that repeats, time feels like after being abducted by aliens. I wonder big devs teams feel the same? store.steampowered.com/app/4524700/...

Mazle puzzle maze funky phasel, conveyor belt and something blah blah sci-fi. This is level design, baby! #gamedev

When you think that this was probably the final version, but lying in the dark you keep coming up with more. In game dev, the images in your head can be quickly visualized in Unreal Engine to understand what I need. Holes, how lifted, sizes, etc. This is level design, baby! #gamedev

This world of the future is for those who love puzzles, mystic, peace, and brain activity. Humanity has built a energy weapon on the Moon to protect Earth from space threats. You're the one who will awaken the ring store.steampowered.com/app/4524700/ #WishlistWednesday #gaming #indiegame #scifi

Do you remember this moment from the TV series Silicon Valley? This moment made me think. Artificial intelligence was almost non-existent in those days. Today, things are different. A person has the hope "I will still invent", but perhaps until a software "weed" for AI appears

I'm trying to make as many variations of this as possible for the puzzle scenes. Now from these conveyor belt sections I can create different routes gameplay of moving what I need to get at the finish line #gamedev #gameplay #indiedev

Developer's kitchen! Treadmill (prototype). A converter of mechanics into electrical energy that will be a starter for other devices in puzzle scenes. You're a robot, and this is physical exercise... Haha, science fiction babe 😉🤖 store.steampowered.com/app/4524700/...

Music is a correlation of brain activity. Some people work in silence, while others need to stimulate their thoughts with sound waves. I listen to Sacred Spirit from time to time. I first heard them in the late 90s. After 30 years I found out it is a German project

Now the belt of this conveyor or treadmill reacts to the movement of the robot along it. The next step is to make more code in this object for gameplay related to energy. It looks like game sports equipment. Haha #gamedev store.steampowered.com/app/4524700/...

I need to create a stick and then bend it. In continuation of work on the prototype conveyor belt for those who want to model inside Unreal Engine modeling mode, here I show another example "Deform - Warp" #UnrealEngine #3Dmodelling #UE5 #gamedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEwc...

I like to prototype almost all parts of it in Unreal Engine (3D modeling, sounds) because it takes little time. For the treadmill, I decided that there would be no moving parts, the belt would pseudo-move through the material #gamedev #UnrealEngine #UE5 #indiedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KOO...

The history of this world is tragic. The humanity of the future on another planet had a different history, robots, religion... one day an epidemic began. Erra: Exordium - sumerian dieselpunk pixelart game from Ukraine. Find it on Steam, big sales coming soon #pixelart #gaming #retrogaming

Hey friend gamer, if you like post-apocalypse, robots, unique pixel graphics and have never played Erra: Exordium - check sumerian dieselpunk pixelart game from Ukraine on Steam #PixelArt #retrogaming

My night game dev, to take a break from level design and puzzle scenes creation, I watch a comedy with one eye and practice Unreal Engine materials with the other #gamedev #UnrealEngine #UE5

I worked on this prototype over a year ago. Then I started making a game about the Moon, in which I decided that the player shouldn't die or have weapons that could break anything. I look at this and think "mistake?", I need to create something that can be broken? #gamedev

On this #screenshotsaturday day I will tell you about the idea of ​​this object. Apple once made a very beautiful PC, it was in 2000, the Power Mac G4 Cube. I lived very poorly then, it was a dream that never came true. So, I wanted the game on the Moon to have something similar

I'm an honest game developer. I made the pseudo light around the flashlight based on a material you can find in Unreal Engine. I created a copy of it and adding my own parts, which I won't show. You can find this material inside Engine: M_EV_Lightbeam #gamedev #UnrealEngine #UE5

I like yellow better, as the light it gives warmth, it's like honey and bees. I'll even show you the draft Unreal Engine material of this lantern rod. This is still a prototype, it will be even better in the game #gamedev #UnrealEngine #UE5 #indiedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Xhh...

I've been putting off making a flashlight-related gameplay for a year, so I started doing it last night. I decided to show you this prototype. There's a lot to do. Model, materials, animations, dark levels. I have a lot of ideas for this rod flashlight. This is a mystical device

Every time I show this prototype, a few people see it or react to it. Either it's really cool and the system doesn't show it to you so you don't feel the potential of it, or you don't understand what's going on and don't react. Or I'm setting my expectations too high #gamedev

Circles, not on the field, but on the water. I show you my Unreal Engine game dev stuff - under the hood. I love sharing, I hope it's good for my indiegame dev karma. Don't forget to subscribe and support the game account here and Steam, thank you #gamedev #UnrealEngine #UE5 #indiedev

I love terminals in games, especially if there is a mini game. So, I hope I have enough strength to create a mini game in this terminal. I even made camera rotation with limits here store.steampowered.com/app/4524700/ #gamedev #indiegame #scifi #puzzles #gameplay

Sometimes I will show you some Unreal Engine game dev stuff that I call - under the hood. Classic water texture and frozen pattern generation. Don't forget to subscribe and support the game account, thank you #gamedev #UnrealEngine #UE5 #indiedev

I used to think that game developers should play a lot of games, but when I became a game developer, something went wrong. Maybe it's different for those who have a lot of free time, or make simple games and playing other games is part of the search for the next project #gamedev

Planet from noise texture with World Position Offset. The detail of the surface curvature depends on the number of vertices in the sphere object. Don't forget about my secret place of game dev + Unreal Engine examples: youtube.com/@alienmax-re... #gamedev #UnrealEngine #UE5 #indiedev

Conveyor! He surprised me again. My 12 year old son made a prototype of a conveyor and now I want to create it in my game. He did it very simply, Unreal Engine Blueprint is in the video #gamedev #indiedev #UnrealEngine #UE5 www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHUy...

Imagine a club of anonymous indie game developers. How would you start this dialogue in this place? Me: Hi, my name is Max, I'm a game developer and I've never played Fortnite.

I came up with this mechanic while walking around the industrial area with my son. We like to discuss different ideas while looking at what looks like a Half-Life 2 setting. This object needs to be spun on your finger to see what it can do. Ha ha, this is an indie game dev #indiedev #gamedev

I like simple examples, from simple things we create complex ones. Two examples of Unreal Engine material: lerp and inverted lerp with Fresnel for 2 colors emissive. Don't forget about my secret place of game dev examples: www.youtube.com/@alienmax-re... #gamedev #UnrealEngine #UE5 #indiedev

My 12 year old son created all this in Unreal Engine over the weekend, hinting to me that I should also create such devices as in Portal. The thing that throws you, maybe, but hellish crushing plates with spikes, no, because I don't have deaths in the game. #gamedev #indiedev #UnrealEngine #UE5

Prototype a year ago. Each object can create an electric arc of different colors. So that there is no infinite cycle, the arc is created by the next transmitter with the same ID, and each transmitter stores this ID for a while so as not to receive it again #gamedev #UnrealEngine #indiedev #scifi

Freejack (1992) science fiction film with Emilio Estevez, Mick Jagger, Anthony Hopkins, Rene Russo, Jonathan Banks. This moment must have been in my subconscious, because that's how I wanted to make in my game the transition between reality in the AI ​​robot's body and human memories.
