Took a HUGE step towards the future of the channel - Up to this point, I've been using Camtasia for all my video editing. But, since firefly is gonna be implemented into Premiere eventually, and I since it's the industry standard, I went ahead and made the jump today -
I have immediately noticed things I miss from Camtasia, but I'm determined to just adapt to the new software and start getting used to Premier lol - Though, I can tell of the bat that Premier is a lot stronger than Camt...
New Unreal Female Base Texturing Complete
Alright, after literally hundreds of hours working on the new female base for Unreal5, I have FINALLY completed UV mapping and texturing coloring - You can see the before and after results in the images below - All in all, for the time that I had available, I think it turned out alright, and am excited to see what sort of designs we'll come up for her in various games -
Anyway, hope you guys look forward to seeing her too, thank you so much for being patient, and I'll see ya in the ne...

2023-12-03 01:49:15 +0000 UTC View PostDecember OBJECTIVES!!
Alright, so, as usual we got a lot of our work cut out for us. I'll be covering some new important software findings this month, and in the background I'll be figuring out some more advanced stuff in Unreal5. It's funny how I feel like I have learned SO much about Unreal since we started months ago, yet there's still so many basic things I still have no clue how to do - But, that was exactly how things were when I started Unity and I still to this day don't know everything about Unity lol.
November REPORT!
Alright Squad - despite being relatively peaceful during the last 6 days for holidays, this month was actually quite hectic - 20 new Unreal5 tutorials that I think will be very useful for anyone learning blueprints for the first time :) And, I got all 6 Back/Shoulder weapons, 6 arm weapons, and 6 alien weapons from our old games re-UV-Mapped and ready for photo-realistic texturing in our projects going forward! This will be extremely useful when we get to the point of starting to program guns...

Hey Squad, hope each and every one of you is having an absolutely Fantastic Thanksgiving :)
Today was a pretty chill day for me, and it gave me the chance to do some planning for the rest of the month - Something I've decided is to go ahead and re-outfit the "old" weapons we used for Macrophage for our "new" Engine in Unreal5 - This will give us a decent starting point for our customization parts for all games going forward, since I plan for customization to be an important part of most pr...
Support-Squad-Announcement
Hey Squad, It's been a while since I've made a general announcement, but that's mainly because I've been sick recently, and generally, it takes a lot of time to make very small progress when I'm building a project, but today I got the project to a pretty good checkpoint, which I'd like to share with you all today - Thank you so much for your patience and incredible support, as always hope you have a Fantastic Day-!!
Houskeeping Day -
Well, today I'm still a bit sick, so I wasn't able to record any new videos - I decided to work on non-video related tasks that I've been procrastinating on, one of which was finally taking the time to redesign my hotkeys for the next year. The 3 software I use the most by far are Blender, Unreal/Maya, and ZBrush - So, I've gone ahead and made mouse hotkey profiles for each. The Blender one has more or less stayed the same for about 5 years, but I've made some minor changes, since what I usua...

Alright Squad... As usual, we got a lot of work cut out for us this month - This is where we TRULY start to get into the meat of Unreal5... It's going to be EXTREMELY difficult since pretty much, the only thing left now are higher level problems, but fortunately the Solve Squad has been pretty awesome at finding solutions to most of the things we're trying to do - There's a lot that goes into just getting a basic Game Menu working well, but I'm hoping to finish most of that this month, and if...

It was an extremely busy, but very pleasantly eventful month. I passed on the last 23 years of experience I had to the next generations of players for my favorite game series (Armored Core), and we broke 1000 members on Discord, 100,000 subs on YouTube, and even got to slip in 6 tutorials of Unreal5 Blueprints before the end here - I'm going to be uploading more Unre...
Quick Announcement -
Hey Squad, just a bit of a heads up - While I'm uploading what I've learned for Unreal5 Blueprints, in the background I'm trying to get the knight character revised to be compatible with the new custom color scheme system that I've been developing with the help of the Sovereign Solve Squad members on Discord. We figured out quite a bit about how to make a system similar to Armored Core's, but it requires the characters to me modeled, UV'd, and textured in a very specific way - The old knight ...

OK Squad, as usual - We got quite a bit of our work cut out for us at the start - Since I just recently finished Armored Core 6 100% - There's a lot of very good lessons that I think most indie devs can take away from this game, and so I'll take a few days to just leave my obligatory review of the game and note some cool things about it that I don't think most people noticed.
Immediately afterward, I'll be shifting my focus to try and get this little Unreal Test project completed as fast a...
