I made a very simple #ue5 tutorial this week. A beginner friendly interaction for handling different types of keys and using them to open different doors. The full project is simplified down to a few blueprints and annotated. It's also free for anyone who goes to my Patreon. #gamedev #indiedev

YouTube sometimes does interesting things like fail to auto-dub a video and then stop allowing me to edit it. So if you haven't seen it, I've reuploaded my last tutorial remaking the Glintblade Phalanx from #EldenRing in #UE5. Tutorial includes sword mesh and Niagara effect. #indiedev #gamedev

I made a few tutorials on dashing, but they've all been in straight lines. Now here's one where you can dodge around an actor, keep facing the actor, rotate the camera with the movement and control how far you want to move around the target! Trigger warning: calculus. #ue5 #gamedev #indiedev

I remember having issues early on learning #UE5 with level select tutorials not unloading stream levels or only working with world partition. I made a tutorial for a blueprint that can use both. It also includes a means for the player to unlock levels as they go. Also, widgets! #gamedev #indiedev

Hopefully this will be the start of a new tutorial series. I went through remaking a few jump mechanics in #ue5 from Warframe, Mario64 and Jak & Dexter. #gamedev #indiedev

I'm thinking about putting together a new #ue5 tutorial series where I recreate a compilation of popular game mechanics from over the years in #unrealengine. What are some of your favorite dash mechanics you've seen in 3rd person #videogames? #gamedev #gaming #programming

Really need to get working on thumbnail work, but hey, at least the tutorial series is done. Heavily inspired by Kingdom Hearts this covers almost everything you would need for a lock on system. This is the last part, targeting actors with multiple target points. #gamedev #indiedev #UnrealEngine5

This is a overview of a series I've been making on a comprehensive lock-on system. Parts 1-4 (of 6) are already released. It includes a soft & hard lock, target cycling, line of sight and focus targeting. Multi-target actors & enemy info the player HUD is next. Hope you all like it! #ue5 #gamedev

I made a tutorial going over prepping and implementing animations for motion warping, how to use motion warping, and applying it to mantling from a ledge grab. I provide an animation to use for the tutorial as well. #ue5 #indiedev #gamedev youtu.be/echlweWAXZc

I made a tutorial for grapple points with inspiration from Jedi: Survivor and Clair Obscur. A few interesting little things are in it as well such as a proximity progress bar as you get closer to a widget and a Niagara thether with a dynamically set beginning and end point. #ue5 #gamedev #indiedev

Rounding out every way to run on a wall, here's my tutorial for a horizontal wall run. It uses the capsule radius for measurement so it will work with custom characters. It includes a drop off time where the run arcs downwards after a certain point & wall jumping. Enjoy! #indiedev #gamedev #ue5

I haven't played the new Assassin's Creed, but I wanted to mimic the vertical wall running. So here's a #UE5 tutorial that does just that. It incorporates the ledge grab tutorial from a few months ago + a method to slow down the run the higher you get up the wall. Hope you like. #indiedev #gamedev

Here's a tutorial for anyone that's interested in vehicles. We go through changing pawns/characters, blending camera views for cinematic transitions & changing input mappings. We also use a blueprint interface so there's minimum code sitting unused in the player character. #gamedev #indiedev #ue5

I went buck wild with set gravity direction and made a tutorial for wall running inspired by Spiderman. Includes several different options for control and rotation, transitions from one surface to another and camera fandangling to support 360 degree rotations. #indiedev #gamedev #unrealengine

Woke up to find today was the first day I made $ on Patreon! I've opened up a poll for all members so anyone can join and voice their opinion on what tutorial you want to see next, including write in options. #UE5 #IndieDev #GameDev

I made a tutorial on how to make a time trial, complete with timer widget and scalability. Use it to make your final level more climactic. Use it as bonus content to unlock cosmetics for players. Use it to incorporate speed runs. Make an entire game around it if you want! #ue5 #indiedev #gamedev

So I won't be posting Friday funday anymore. As it turns out, if you look up the hashtag, you get an excessive amount of posts by some dude showing off his feet. So, let this be a lession kids —Periodically check your hashtags.

The second part of the ledge grab series is up! Continuing from where the last tutorial left off, it adds a new grab type for a bar. Included is how to animate a shimmy from side to side as well as quality of life improvements and next steps for you to try. #UE5 #UnrealEngine #indiedev #gamedev

#fridayfunday 15/52, is not an actual band, but someone who makes very hilarious #music, #TomCardy. He is very silly and goofy and the videos are low budget theatrical which really helps the #humor. But for an independent guy making music on the internet, the quality of music is fantastic.

#fridayfunday 14/52, is HIM. As the originators of love #metal, songs have gentle lyrics with melodic, heavy metal influence. Themes are often #gothic and express many facets of love and relationships. Obviously very topical for Valentine's Day but good a listen generally any time.

Happy Valentine's to my dearest @tinyscienceofficer.bsky.social for whom I thank for being on Blue sky in the first place. You have been nothing short of a bastion of moral support for me for as long as I've known you. I love you.

Due to an ID10T error on my part, I had to reupload my ledge grab tutorial. For those that didn't see it, it's part 1 of 2 working on perfectly aligning ledge grabs for your character onto any object. Part 2 will include grabbing bars and shimmying. #ue5 #indiedev #ledgegrab #unrealengine #gamedev

#FridayFunday 13/52 is Galaktikon. If the name didn't give it away, the band is headed by Brendon Small, creater of Dethklok. The same astounding melodic death metal sound and a bit more. Fun fact: Galaktikon II rearranged was originally the ending of Metalocolypse before the last season was made.

#FridayFunday 12/52, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. I cannot think of a band that puts out as many consistently good albums as them. Whether or not you like #prog #metal #rock #jazz or psychedelic experimental fusions, they have a lot to offer and it is surprisingly consistent in quality.

New tutorial finally up! I made a grind rail inspired by Ratchet & Clank and it includes the ability to turn and rotate the character according to how you set the rail. So not just moving across a spline, but bending along turns and moving upside-down as well. #UnrealEngine #ue5 #indiedev #gamedev

#FridayFunday 11 of 52, today is a probably obscure #prog #metal band - Ne Obliviscaris. I may be a sucker for anything that is metal + violin, but the melodies and transitions between sections are serene. And the mix of clean and harsh vocals work well together. +1 for being from Australia.

#fridayfunday 10/52. #Riverside is a fantastic #prog #rock band that writes a lot about depression and anxiety, both internally and in society, with a message of hope. Second Life Syndrome is like the quintessential album, and the self-titled song is long but well worth a listen.

I hate splines, but after working with them for about a month, I hope this tutorial will help you to hate them less. I go over a few fixes for deformed and broken meshes and UE deciding to flip your meshes if your spline dares to look up. #UE5 #UnrealEngine #Spline #inidedev #gamedev

No updates. Just a meme post.

Happy Friday all. Part 1 of the spline series is out. It's a relatively quick video on how to get easy to work with spline meshes for level design. I'd appreciate any feedback regarding the video's quality as I am still getting used to YouTube. #indiedev #unrealengine #ue5 #gamedev

#FridayFunday 6/52. It's a new year so everyone can try something new, right? Today's highlight is Yousei Teikoku, a Japanese gothic/symphonic metal band with a lot of aesthetic flair. Very catchy songs, many of which have English subtitles for the non-weebs here. #metal #music #weeb #goth #heavy

#promosky Hello everyone and Happy New Year! I'm an #indiedev and tutorial creator for Unreal Engine 5 and live for my hobbies Interests - Gaming 🎮 Metal/Prog 🎶 Programming ✅ Pathfinder/D&D 📜 Storytelling 📃 Movie critiquing 🎥 Sci-Fi/Fantasy 📚 Letterboxing/Geocaching 🌎 My dearest fiancé 😘

In 2024, my partner lost his job, we had to move suddenly, lost a family member, struggled a bit financially, best friends left, and another family member had serious health issues. It sucked a lot. But I started training for a new career and revamped my Etsy shop a bit. Hoping for better in 2025.

There are few things that I've done that I would say I was legitimately proud of myself for doing. Getting this grind rail going is definitely one of them. Expect a few tutorials on how to do this in the coming weeks! #UnrealEngine #UE5 #SplinesSuck #indiedev

Hello all, for the last few months I've been doing tutorials for #UnrealEngine on YouTube. I just wanted to see if there was anything you all would like a tutorial on at some point in the future. It could be as easy or vague or complex as you'd like, I just want to hear your thoughts. Thanks. #UE5

#FridayFunday (on Saturday, sorry) 5/52 highlighting Triosphere. A high octane, melodic heavy metal sound with some powerful wailing vocals. The songwriting is beautiful and the female vocals brings a very unique energy that's well worth a listen. #metal #melodic #heavymetal #music

Next demo is on my nemesis; splines. The focus is to make grind rails and several useful methods to compensate for the awfulness of managing splines in a level. #UE5 #UnrealEngine #IndieDev #GameDev #Indie #spline #WhyDoIDoThisToMyself

Well it's X-Mas eve and for some reason my job is making us work while all our clients are off. So in my downtime I made a simple tutorial to help with level design. Take mesh and duplicate it, space them apart, rotate if you'd like and place in in your level. #UE5 #UnrealEngine #Indiedev #IT #ugh

New tutorial out. Yaaaay! Moving around poles and all the boring calculus required. It pairs well with the previous balance points video as well. I did this because I've only seen animations on fab and no blueprints. Hopefully someone finds this useful. #ue5 #unrealengine #indiedev #indie #poles

#FridayFunday 4/52 highlights my all time favorite, Devin Townsend, who is a god tier vocalist and amazing guitarist. Albums have spanned multiple genres such rock, metal, country, new age and others. You will find something to be amazed by, I guarantee it. #metal #prog #hevydevy #coffee

Next video will be a tutorial on moving up/down/around poles. It's somewhat surprising how little consolidated info there is on how to do this given how prevalent it is in games. Will hopefully have it out this weekend! #UE5 #UnrealEngine

Hurray! New tutorial video out. This shows you how you can balance on a point in your level and on any object/geometry. Includes how to change your character's idle animation to match. Download project from my patreon- patreon.com/Devenestration #UnrealEngine #UE5 #unrealengine5 #IndieDev #GameDev

#FridayFunday 3/52, highlighting a personal favorite of mine, Kamelot with Opus Of The Night. The band features powerful themes of existentialism and the human condition throughout their albums. Heavy, beautiful, emotional and creative sound. #heavy #symphonic #metal #kamelot

Preview post for the next video to go out. Will be done and uploaded by Monday! #UnrealEngine #UE5 #IndieDev #BalancePoint

#FridayFunday 2/52, this week's band highlight is Redemption with Black and White World. A beautiful yet heavy song that actually has a happy ending. The band usually has thought-provoking lyrics and an emphasis on good melodies. #metal #prog #rock #redemption

Hope everyone had a good pre-Thanksgiving. And to those of you who go to war tomorrow, we salute you.

Proud to say I uploaded by first Unreal Engine tutorial to YouTube yesterday! #UnrealEngine #UE #WallJump #Game

I follow people related to #gamedevelopment. I make posts around #music. I make a single joke about a hot dogs days ago and now hot dogs dominate my discover feed...

#FridayFunday 1/52 - Starting off are the grandpapies of prog metal, Dream Theater, with As I Am. Some of the best, if not the best, drumming you will ever hear in a song. Every member of this group is a virtuoso in their own right. Just don't freak out looking at the runtimes for some tracks.
