Learning Unreal, Step 1.

    I am undergoing the process of learning Unreal. Wish me luck, this is going to require me to learn alot. I am already getting swamped with information and doing my best to process it all. I've got myself in the optimal learning state, so I will learn the best I can. Unreal took a grand total of two hours to properly and update, this was a little stressful, but part of it was me slacking and not checking the download state. I also need a better graphics card, or at least Unreal believes so.

We are so back!

Guess what! WE are back to working on game stuff. What Happened? The short answer is: Life. The long answer is me, the artist decided to do a bunch of commissions for other people over the course of 2024 and had no time to dedicate to geme assets. It was somewhat popular, and made me some money. It helped me increase my art skills as well. What's going on now? Turns out my brother (the lead programmer and co-game designer and story writer) is back in action, and is motivated. However, we have decided to work on a completely different game. I will explain that game more once I have the time to explain it. This motivated me, and now I am back to doing art. We also had the chance to sit down and work on story stuff. This was good and helpful in ways outside of just writing for this game. But heck, are the early parts of story writing so embarrassing. Nothing like seeing your ideas you thought were pretty decent get shot down for good logical reasons. Makes you feel dumb. But it truel...

I don't know SHIT

     Ultimately at the end of the day, I don't know shit.      Did I render this right in Unreal 5? The short answer is... no.     Anyways... What am I doing? Yeah? Right? - I think the big thing is, I haven't figured out a way to build everything from scratch. One of my biggest gripes about the unreal 5 engine, is the fact I cannot start with a completely blank project. It comes with a sun, baked lighting, some cool other effects, and a bunch of default settings I am not going to use. I spend HOURS wondering why everything looked extremely high contrast and saturated - which I found out was caused by the camera deciding to auto expose itself. If this was the real world, AWESOME, I would love a camera that corrected lighting and made it easier to see. But for a video game? No, this isn't going to work. Well, it's not going to work for me . Did Paper Mario have this intense of lighting? No. So, me trying to delete things without making the fun...

A Big Room

  Yes... that's a big room.      So anyways. This is what I got done today. The celing, I don't like. It need support beams, the "truces" if you will. But seeing things in a large sort of way is inspiring, to say the least. I wish my bother was home and awake, because I have story ideas to pitch to him, and I need him to listen.
