Oh My SHIP game is still there, In week 10 I created a simple enemy spawn editor to ease the editing stages little bit. I learn that the DataTable is designed not to be edited inside Unreal, so I convert the data to a DataAsset. There is some little problem when using DataAsset sometimes for unknow…

So the problem from the last week is fixed, and now the object pooling is finally working.

I start blocking the background, the background is grid-based 20.000 unit length and I use array integer to store the grid data, this grid will move backward in loops based on the current grid data. This makes…

This worst week of my development progress because no actual update is done. I start this week learn about how to create better programming for realtime applications in UE. After days of reading and learning I found some key points:

• Avoid Event Tick as much as possible because this is expensive, esp…

Hello, I'm back to writing Oh My Ship game development progress again. Really weird name for a game, but it's suited to the overall story for this game, maybe I will change it to a better name someday. I skip the devblog of week 06 because some problem happens and not enough new updates to post.

I start this week's Devblog with the updated gameplay video. Still very rough, and by no means good gameplay, and has many problems I will talk about.

This week I create more base enemy types, all are using the Blueprint components I prepared before so it is not hard to do and no special workflow t…

Very small update on this full working week, just working on my game during the weekend. I was thinking of not updating anything this week and combining to next week to get better progress, but I decide to update anyways to keep me motivated.

First I create the laser system for the hero, this laser …

However, I start crea…

This week I working mostly on the structuring the blueprint class, components, and the connection between them in the gameplay, lots of reworking the structure to make efficient and flexible enough to develop futher and maintaining it. Here the main gameplay program structures:

When Unreal Engine 5 came out, I got stunned like everybody else, just now I have decided to learn this game engine, and the best way to learn game engine is creating simple game on it. This is just a learning project but I will take the development seriously in my spare time and hopefully will be …
