Build 1408 Available for Download

Sometimes, things just don’t go as you planned. I had planned on leaving the country and being a little short on time as a consequence and rolling 1407 into 1408 to make up for the difference, but I hadn’t planned on getting terribly sick when I returned from...

Build 1407 Deferred

I will be traveling within the next few days, to a beautiful place out in the country will no internet access and a 9-hour time difference, and I won’t be back for three weeks. Because of this, I’ve decided to roll the 1407 release into 1408, mainly because...

Build 1406 Available for Download

Another down-to-the-line update; this one took me into the wee hours, but I did get it out (technically) on time. At the start of the game, the world is seeded with a small amount (currently between 4 and 8) of bloodlines, each with a few members. Though you...

Build 1404 Available for Download

For a while there, I was worried that I’d have to spend tonight writing a post on why I blew a deadline, but, thankfully, after much frustration, I do have something to show. It’s not much, but it is something. The jump from UDK to UE4 was a...

First UE4 Bug

…or hilarious oversight, however you want to look at it. The issue here was that, in addition to controlling the character’s yaw (side-to-side rotation, about the vertical axis), the firstperson camera was controlling the character’s pitch (up-and-down motion). Pitch should affect only the neck and head, but here...

Decisions

Well, that was sudden. I wasn’t expecting anything Epic did; release the engine with no warning, moving to a subscription-based model, or giving engine-level code access to everyone, so I’ve spent the last few days researching the new engine. The same day, CryTek announced that they were also...
