UE5 Farming game, like Stardew Valley, with ghosts, robots, and super bosses.

#

There's more stuff that video doesn't show, but i've been working on it for 1 year and 4 months.
saddercat hope folks want another farming game. This one has ghosts that you help and stuff.

#

We have a discord where folks can follow and give ideas.

#

We're also about to start dev logs.

Fixed the audio based on feed back! I didn't want to post the same video but I felt the upgrade was important to have on there. This will be the quality for the dev logs going forward!

This looks really good. Any way you could share with me how you've animated the text in the dialogs?

gusty minnow
#

Actually yeah, you create a font material (ui) and you get the font world position data, then you add y data to it along with a sine to animate it. SCcatCLAP

#

You use that in a widget. Your text has to be rich text though.

To be honest, i haven't ran across that because i'm not using them like that yet. I'm assuming they should work fine. When i do encounter that, i'll come back and post it here.

#

I'll probably post it in the server as well.

#

but how do you do it per letter (character)? or is that just a visual illusion since it's fast?

Tyler and I worked on adding quality to the items in the game. There's icons and particles to let you know the quality!✨

I converted the spawner to PCG, and each instance can switch to an actor harvest point. Over thousands of harvest points, and it's optimized. ✨

I've decided to move the interior houses up and let them be full scale to the player. We'll be handling data layers the same way. This'll be seamless and without pause. 😀Day 82!

Got other trees working, the fade system was changed. I figured out how to fade trees better. I adore PCG. It's fun to mess with. Cedar trees need to look like cedar though.🥲 day 87!

I modeled some salmon berries for the player to pick. They're simple but i love how they turned out. What should be the next berry i add in? 🤔

Getting closer to the 31st! I wanted to prepare for it by putting some pumpkins in. You don't just farm pumpkins, but you can find them in the fall around Medio! Day 93!! 🎃

For level design and the mini map, i wanted to make it easy to create map tile images to for the entire map. Luckily there's an unreal bp called Scalable Map that helped so much!🥹96!
