Hey everyone! You may be wondering where I’ve been, and I have some amazing news for you! After having that fun re-learning Unity Basics and after about a day of looking at Unreal Engine I was extremely excited about my new journey and got carried away diving head-first into my classes! I am going to try my hardest to post more often than I have in the last month and a half, but I can’t promise a daily post the way I did when I started this blog. Though I’m still in the Gen Ed portion of my studies, I am already playing with Unreal Engine 5 in my free time and learning a lot!

One thing I’ve learned is the basic movements in a third person game, but also how to teleport between different layers of a side scrolling level. On top of that, I made sure to stop the character from teleporting against or into walls to keep the character on the correct platform!

On top of that, I also learned how to make the basics to a card game, even allowing for the cards to be moved around in the hand for your own organizing purposes. Getting the moved card’s opacity back to fully opaque after being moved proved to be harder than expected, but I figured it out!
