Really incredible to see community members take up game development starting from zero.
In order to build the metaverse we want to see we have to be able to build and understand the tools.
@asier_vlore_ has shown incredible persistence and a passion for building. Amazing work!
5 months ago I started learning Unreal Engine from scratch.
Since then Iβve been studying Blueprints every single day, full time. And today I can finally show you something that actually works.
This level is the result of all that effort: collecting coins against the clock, a chaser enemy, spike traps, lava, trampolines, falling platforms, a key & door, sprint with stamina, a rest camp to heal up, and a HUD with win/lose screens.
For a lot of devs this is probably basic stuff. For me, starting from zero, it means a lot.
Every Blueprint was built by hand. No AI generating the logic for me. I wanted to really learn the fundamentals first, so later I can use AI properly and actually understand what Iβm doing.
In the thread below Iβll break down each mechanic with short clips π§΅

With Otherside Resources right around the corner, i've been testing out a Terraforming/Harvesting system for the ODK.
Dig, tunnel, smooth, flatten or reshape the Terrain in many ways while gathering resources.
Today i'm starting on the PRE-FAB portion.
Select your type and place it down ABOVE or BELOW ground. Even Underwater if that's more your style.
Winter is coming, It will be a great one. π¦π€π½
ποΈWe are live in the Render Pool discord to do a giveaway for some Mudwater packs!
Come on by and hang with us to chat about the TCG and like always ask about ODK and building for @OthersideMeta
See you there!πββοΈβ¨

Fun productive day. Added a new road that fits my game and new fire scifi buildings by @pixelsenseiart which are perfect for my billboard displaying @OthersideMeta and @TheRenderPool and also added the legends @WelcomeApes because even in my game all apes are welcome and everyone else of course. Currently adding more @ApeChainHUB community billboards π₯π«‘

After the @TheRenderPool Game Dev Camp sessions, several devs went on to continue building in the ODK on their own.
Seeing what @NFTOtter has created for his @OtterfulOtters community is truly impressive.
A large world on @OthersideMeta for all Otters to come together and have a night of games and exploration.
Come get a behind the scenes look at what Otter has put together in the ODK and learn what it takes to build and upload games onto Otherside for your own community.
See you there!
