I complete two steps in the tutorial I'm following. I add in a currency system and I add effects to the towers. They also face their target now.

I add in a fail condition for when the player runs out of lives

I set up the enemy wave spawning system.

Towers can no longer be placed on top of each other. Also towers now snap into more of a grid. This one took me a little while, so it's a bit short.

I set up the targeting to work better and replace the old player pawn with a camera that can pan. The camera follows the cursor.

I set limits on how far the player can pan and I have a system to place new towers

I complete step 3 of the tutorial. I have a data table set up now that allows easier addition of new towers. Also some of the code around targeting has been cleaned up. I introduce a new chair tower.

I show off a tower with a placeholder mesh that can fire a heat seeking projectile

I followed the first video in a tutorial. It taught me some of the beginnings of AI in unreal. I got a runner set up to move to an endpoint.

I start a side project for a tower defense game. Sorry for my hiatus.

I fix my lighting issues with a ridiculous amount of torches and then show off the magic guard spell.

I finally have the fail condition added and I do a playthrough of the game.

I think I might have found a solution for some of my lighting issues.

I try to make a menu for spending perk points and work on the dungeon interior. Had some trouble with lighting the walls.

I finish the layout for the level and design an enemy variant.

I show off my new sprint mechanic and some perks.

I set up a leveling system and fix some issues with sword attacks. I also find a new problem with my projectile during recording.

Shorter update today, consequence of a busy weekday evening. I figure out how to get an emitter to dissipate and how to fill a bar from the center. Entry 4 in my ongoing Dev Diary.

I'm trying to set up the AI. It's been somewhat uncooperative

A short update showing a change in the attack animation, stamina consumption, and changing the look of the ice projectile. I didn't note this in the video, but I also changed the attack animation in addition to changing the bone it blends on. I felt the new one was more fitting.

I show off my first enemy unit and part of a dungeon.

My ongoing Dev Diary. I show an ice projectile and attacking while moving.

Entry 2 in my Dev Diary. I'm working with Unreal Engine to make a simple RPG

Entry 1 in my Dev Diary. I'm working on my first project with Unreal Engine and would like to document it. Also it helps to practice in public.
