For awhile there I thought there wasnt a whole lot of interest in the project here so I kind of forgot about this thread. With that said I pushed forward and decided to go all in and make a game of my own out of this. This week I plan to promote a demo of the game.
I plan to add a proper minimap this week once I get the options menu in place. I actually have an idea on how to do it where it will be really cool.
I have been hanging out in the UE4 discord channel for work in progress for a couple weeks now. I am super open to any advice in general though.
Right now what I want to do is make a game. A full game that follows in the footsteps of classic Doom and Quake with the rules of DarkSouls. So its a mix of oldschool shooter and Darksouls with leveling and gear grinding. Its a Unique take on an old idea.
So what I am going to be doing is trying to figure out how I can survive while I work on this, I have never done a solo project before, I have only worked in game companies for the last 17 years or so. But this project is a big deal for me because it could potentially mark the first time I can do something of this scale almost on my own!
edit: One aspect of the project is that I would like for it to have mod support which would mean releasing the blueprints that belong to me. The only catch is that the dev build would need to have everything that doesn’t belong to me stripped. So the options menu, sounds and effects would be stripped from the game.
