Little Polygon Game Dev Blog

On the latest Nightshift Galaxy weekly dev stream I demonstrated the specialized level editting tool I’m building inside the Unreal Level Editor that I’m calling Scaffold.

As I transition from developing systems to developing content, a larger ratio of my programming time is devoted to AI programming.

Unreal Engine applies the aspect ratio of the viewport to a fixed Horizontal Field of View.

I can’t believe how long it’s been since I wrote for the blog!

Hey everyone, sorry for the posting delay, but I’ve been focussed on my game for the last two months, and now I have a demo build, which I made for Glitch City LA x GUMBO NYC!

In Part 1 we took care of the preliminaries, setting up our assets, and getting a base layer root and hip motion going on which to start grooving.

This is the first article in a series on implementing procedural locomotion.

This is my second article on procedural animation.

Procedural animation is a priority on Tiny Starpilot.

I’ve begun consolidating my various demos and prototypes into a single Unreal Engine project.

I’ve planned for three playable pilots since my earliest prototype.

I designed and prototyped the missile attack!

I’m adding an Itano-style Missile Circus Attack right now, so let’s talk about the principles of a high-performance bullet-hell system.

Let’s take an art-dive into the inspiration and iterations on Tiny Starpilot’s transforming player jet/robot.

Experience has made me opinionated about implementing 3rd person cameras.

I juggle a dozen little side-projects which I dust off from time to time.
