Saturday Session (IV)

This week was quite busy at work, so I have not been able to post recently. I still made a ton of good progress Saturday and into Sunday morning.

Torch in action

Here's a list of my accomplishments late last week and into Saturday's session.

• Adjusted font size on target nameplate to allow longer names to display

• Escape key now deselects current target

• Fixed background on health & mana globes to add contrast between full & empty

• Adjusted chat area UI styles to be more minimalistic

• Added player nameplate

• Added functionality to toggle visibility of the target nameplate when a target is acquired or lost

• Worked with Niagara fluid systems

• Implemented 2D Gas system

• Implemented 2D Gas emitter & Smoke emitter

• Created torch blueprint

• Reduced radius of interactable item world space hotspots

• Complete restyling of UI menus

• Started implementing movement while in combat (WIP)

Player and target nameplates

Examples of chat commands /say, /yell, /guild and /whisper

Attributes tab of the inventory

Player's inventory and equipment tab

A slower progression this week but still very productive. Things are starting to feel more like a game and I'm getting more confident with my skills understanding of Unreal engine 5. I hope to tackle some more functionality this week.

Cheers,

Vinny
