Second tactics game project/fangame
Delta_Angelfire GameDev DK30 New Year 2022 0 0
Description
Previously, I did a tactics game/proof of concept in Gamemaker with a hololive theme to improve my programming. Now I want to do the same in Unreal Engine 4.
Recent Updates
Got my computer upgrades and it’s looking pretty good. spend the unused part of the dk30 doing some house maintenance cleaning up the garage, patching up the roof, and applying for a dream job (though I probably won’t get it, it was nice to try anyway!). This specific project however, I’ll be starting from scratch again. If I start next week, I should be done in time for the next DK30, right?
My computer seems to have a hard time dealing with running the UE4 editor as well as the toolkit I’m trying to use for game programing… might have to revise the project. I don’t really want to do the same project in another 2d engine, and a 3d engine without the toolkit would drastically increase the workload of the project. May have to abandon this one altogether until I upgrade my PC
Another Hour of UE4 tutorials, and an hour of ATBTT (Advanced Turn Based Tile Toolkit tutorials.
Did ~2 hours worth of UE4 basic tutorials to refamiliarize myself with some of the basic functions.
Estimated Timeframe
Feb 8th - Mar 10th
Week 1 Goal
Learn the Advanced Turn Based Toolkit package in UE4. Create a map, primitive characters, and all the basic stats data needed for a basic tactical combat scenario.
Week 2 Goal
Make it pretty. Find some 3d models/animations along with terrain, obstacle objects, and sound effects to work with and figure out how to make those things work together in UE4.
Week 3 Goal
Smooth out the gameplay. Fix or finish fixing any bugs that cropped up in previous weeks and make UI look nice. Thouroughly test AI before adding any other small features one at a time while continuing to bug test. Anything that doesn’t make it in this time limit gets dropped.
Week 4 Goal
Add other required features. Title Screen, End Screen, Options Menu, BGM. Add a few more levels if time permits. Add a dialogue system if we are somehow way ahead of the curve.
