#045 - When Bad Things Arrive

 Hello everybody! When Bad Things Arrive was the post-full-release name of my first released game that I worked on from late-2018 through late-2020. Before that, I called it Give Up Self-Preservation and the project codename was CTFAttempt which stands for Clickteam Fusion Attempt. All Five Nights at Freddy's games up until that point were made using Clickteam Fusion. Since I was making a 3D FNaF fan game, I wanted to replicate the point-and-click, mouse-driven input that the games had, with additional hotkeys.

Anyway, I bring this up because today I officially decided to port the project from Unreal 4.23.1 all the way to Unreal 5.1.1. Honestly... there was only one part of the game that was actually "broken" that was unrelated to the plugins I used. It was how I handled clicking on specific components of different actors. That was a really quick fix and I was also pretty quickly able to remove all broken code functions because the plugins no longer have those nodes. Other than that, the game plays pretty much exactly how it did on the old engine version. I anticipate the main PC port to be published relatively soon. I just need to re-add the ability to rebind hotkeys and all GameJolt implementations. If you logged in with a GameJolt account, you can unlock trophies and your playtime is recorded.

Other than working on WBTA today, I did my usual stream, started playing the original Doom on my Switch, and edited my Combining Indev worlds video. It will go public tomorrow at tick-tock-eight-O-clock (in the morning, Pacific Time). Thank you all for reading. Bye!

#131 - Minecraft Parodies Like It's 2014

 Hello everybody! Looks like I'm back at it again writing another post. Know what I've been doing? Listening to old Minecraft songs and parodies, primarily from 2012-2014. I remember these well from my early years of Minecraft. But as I sit here today, I realize 2014 was eleven years ago. Time really goes zoom when you're not looking. Anyway, I've been listening to ThnxCya's Love, Lost and Found  EP that was released this past summer. There's some pretty cool stuff on there, including demos and unreleased songs I never heard before. He never made too many songs (like ZexyZek or Minecraft4Meh) so it's real easy to get through all of his for both Minecraft and Call of Duty. I've also been listening to Phantaboulous's songs, and as much as I enjoy them, it bothers me so much that he had two CDs being sold all the way until 2021-ish. It wasn't until 2023 that I decided I wanted to buy them. Makes me mad that I had 7-8 years to acquire both CDs, but n...

#135 - The Lor(e) Party

 Hello everybody! I was recently gifted a copy of The Lost Subways of North America , which I've been wanting to acquire for a while. It's a great book, but my Notch it gets tiring to hold because of how large it is. I was gifted it around the same time as Look Who's Back  and  Evangelion 3.0 + 1.11 . With that aside, time to update y'all on my Content Warning DVD. I haven't started it yet  but I do at least have all the videos ready to go, including one to be used for the main menu background. Hopefully I get to play more tomorrow (more on that later) but anything new will be added to the next DVD, alongside some other recordings that didn't have to be on the first disc. I've still be playing some Crab Champions, but not as much. I have this one run that's been going a good 16 hours or so and oh boy, I'm looking forward to starting something new at this point. I'm already close to Island 550. Tomorrow, May 31st will be a big day for me. My YouTu...

#132 - Capes Galore

 Hello everybody! Today Mojang started bringing over Bedrock Edition exclusive capes to Java. Currently, the Founders and Pan Cape were copied with the possibility of the Progressive Cape as well. It'd be nice if they also brought Java capes over to Bedrock because I would like if my Minecon 2016 were available on Bedrock. We shall see as time passes and more capes roll out. Anyway, I've been working a lot on my silly little triangle game. I finally bit the bullet and implemented community level loading. It took a whole lot of logical reasoning and going through every possible solution of what didn't  work. Eventually, I was able to export the level of the dedicated editor project and load that level in the main game itself. Now that the system works, I'll be able to take advantage of the Steam Workshop in the future so that people can easily share or download through there. The game is split into three primary components. First, there is the Living Shapes Engine. This ...
