MAY #UE4JAM, May 14 - May 17, Theme: RAINING CATS AND DOGS

[hamsterPL]

Gamejam progress! I made a system that makes it rain, and detects where edges are to dynamically spawn runoff actors that make rain curtains/volumes. These will serve as obstacles for our protagonist!

Looks awesome! How the hell you made this? :>

Lots and lots of traces One actor controls the downpour and then tries to find any edges of things that are rained on, spawning another actor there that creates the curtain of water. Those feed back the surfaces they pour on into the other actor.

Spent far to long figuring out how to do a portal. So far behind where I wanted to be.

That looks amazing Kashaar!

My project is coming along nicely. Caught up on the lack of sleep today too Slept an EPIC (^^) 16 hours earlier haha Which is good, because I don't see myself sleeping until this countdown expires But no worries, I'm having a blast all the while!

I'm determined to get something finished this time. My project is coming together nicely, mostly down to just adding a basic UI for displaying messages, and duct taping various bits together.

I was using APEX for the sail on the boat, but at some point it decided to flip out and stop working. I miss the basic but perfectly good enough cloth system from UE3.

Thunderbolts and Lightning is on track to make it in before the deadline though.

I think I just spent way too much time on a generic and expandable 3D main menu system, instead of creating levels for the game :-x

Wishing i had mad art skills haha

Thunderbolts And Lightning is as done as it's gonna get I think. And I need some sleep.

A silly game about sailing your sailboat home in a storm. There's a lot I'm not super satisfied with, but some bits I do like.

Hey man, that was really cool.

Only thing I can say I didn't like was the light house was somewhat difficult to see. Maybe create an emissive ball that rotates in the center of the lighthouse as the light source. To make the area a bit bigger so the player doesn't confuse it?

Loved the rain and water, and pretty darn good job simulating the huge waves. Was the lightning just a toggled light you set on a timer? Really cool. Awesome man! That was fun.
