Triple Eh? Ltd Development Blog

25-29.04.2022 The whole week’s been spent on one thing: taking last week’s blockout and looking for the visual style.

Tuesday 19.04.2022 I've largely worked analogue on previous projects, doing most of my scribbling on paper.

11-15th April, 2022 I don’t normally jump on dot-zero versions this quickly, but my litmus test for UE5 was always “when they ship Fornight”, and well, that passed a while ago.

Monday 04.04.2022 Hello again!

Monday 07.03.2022 Spent today investigating UE5 Preview 1.

Monday 28.02.2022 Spent the day setting up Keith, so I can show his location in the next Vlog.

Monday 21.02.2022 I’ve wanted the player character to have facial expressions for a long, long time.

Monday 15.02.2022 Started on the character actions for the Net.

Monday 07.02.2022 Paper-cut day.

Monday 31.01.2022 Early start today.

Monday 24.01.2022 Still working in Sul!

Monday 17.01.2022 Finished off Illumi-nat’s lair in East Ley and got the cut-scene working.

Tuesday 11.01.2022 Today I remade the wand room from Lumo.

Hiya.

Odd week, this week.

Monday 15.11.2021 Back to the making the new caves pretty.

Monday 08.11.2021 You can now break rocks with the shovel!

Monday 1.11.2021 Still tidying up loose ends.

Monday 25.10.2021 A day of two halves: The first, spent entirely on the level sequence to open the barrow in East Ley.

Tuesday 19.10.2021 Spent the entire day working on a new Dev Log!

Monday 11.10.2021 Entire day was spent on a sculpt for a shrine that’ll become the dungeon entrance in East Ley.

Monday 04.10.2021 Started work on some Ghosts to fly around East Ley.

Monday 28.09.2021 Toyed with fallen leaves.

Monday 20.09.2021 Spent the morning listening to Student pitches.

Monday 13.09.2021 Fixed a bug with the initial experience.

Tuesday 7.09.2021 Last week, when I left for Wales, I was fully intent on coming back and cracking on with the gameplay in Sul, but then I had a crazy idea on the way home... an epiphany about what to do in one of the completely undesigned map areas.

Tuesday 31.08.2021 Started on a little stone circle / spiral, that I want to have dotted about the world.

Tuesday 24.08.2021 I started adding a couple of NPCs last week, so today I went back in and finished off their dialog and placement.

Monday 16.08.2021 Did another video!

Monday 09.08.2021 Added SFX and VFX to the Bow and Arrow, then spent the rest of the day making a video to serve the algorithm: Tuesday 10.08.2021 Sorted out the tweaks I wanted to make to the spiders.

Monday 02.08.2021 Added audio and VFX to the spider attacks I built last week.

Monday 26.07.2021 Blimey, nearly two months since I’ve blogged!

14.06.2021 Apologies for not updating the blog last week!

Tuesday 01.06.2021 Had to do some invoicing / paperwork this morning, so a boring return to work after an impromptu few days off… Decided to ease-in by looking at UE5.

Monday 17.05.2021 Got up this morning, fully intent on starting on the fog-based gameplay in Ytene, and then got completely side-tracked.

Monday 10.05.2021 Change of tack, again… When I stopped working on the overworld’s timeline, however many moons ago that was, I’d just about finished the initial experience, bar a few loose ends.

Tuesday 04.05.2021 I’ve paid myself.

Monday 26.04.2021 Yup, I took last week off, and now I can’t remember how to use a computer.

Monday 12.04.2021 Started digging into the Level Sequence Editor.

Tuesday 06.04.2021 Blueprints are reliable, for the most part, but one thing you do not want is a corrupt one.

Monday 29.03.2021 Slight detour… I’ve wanted to release Cecconoid on the Snap Store for months.

Monday 22.03.2021 Carried on with the world design for Sul.

Saturday 13.03.2021 Today was a day of two halves… I’ve been wondering if it would be possible to improve the quality of the Dungeon Walls, cheaply, by turning on tessellation and using a height map.

Tuesday 09.03.2021 Animated the first skeleton attack – a proper slap – and a quick spawn animation, so it can pull itself out of the ground.

Monday 01.03.2021 So a friend of mine has a magic wardrobe that he uses to grow combustibles.

Tuesday 23.02.2021 Started on a sculpt for a skeleton.

Saturday 13.02.2021 Spent a few hours sculpting a skull.

Monday 08.02.2021 Grabbed a couple of hours in the evening to look at one of those bugs: I was getting a visual pop of the light intensity and colours, as the forest map unloaded.

Sunday 31.01.2021 It annoys me that I have to care about this stuff, but today I’ve been going through all the social media bits & bobs, to see what’s working.

Tuesday 26.01.2021 More work on the Vine/splines, mainly focused on the art.
