Pile(BUN)ker. I usually don't work on this during the week, but I needed to unwind something fierce and this helps fight the bad brain bullshit. So, I spent time trying out audio for the execute. Made 5 different cam angles for the kill to reduce fatigue. I am pleased. #CherubDev #UE5 #GameDev

After a lot of time spent this weekend, the system is almost completely functional. It calcs cap chance (based on LV, HP, Dist, Aware) & has a fail state. In the future, needs more camera angles and animations. Also missing the part where you compare stats afterward. #CherubDev #UE5 #GameDev

Mission accomplished. The Lucky rabbit's paw is officially here. Also I added foley sfx to the idle animations. #CherubDev #UE5

Gave Lucky her own animations for scanning and collecting. Then another for transforming. #CherubDev #UE5 #GameDev

Limb asset destruction and replacement working. Lucky uses her threads to adapt equipment for Clover's body. So I used her FX theme'ing for the animation. Fun touches: The limbs go ragdoll when broken. Clothing remains ruined even after replacing a limb. #CherubDev #UE5 #Bunny #Mecha

Weekend done, time to hang it up. Many rough edges, but I'm still having fun. Going to completely rewrite the weapon grab mechanic. It's surprising how enjoyable an NPC with a basic (random attack + walk direction) type brain can be. Oh. I added an 808 kick to the Kill Confirm. #CherubDev #UE5

MeshBlend is finally here! 🥳 So proud to finally release what I've been working on for 16 months! MeshBlend brings next generation blending to Unreal. Easy to use, fast and great quality! Available on Fab for #UE5 now! #gamedev #unrealengine

I had the house to myself today, so I finally made a new version of the HUD using GAS. I am VERY pleased. It's worlds cheaper to render than prior. Mostly by experience, but also by making heavy use of material animation instead of widget animation. The cache remains valid. #CherubDev #UE5

Here's a rough draft of a feature I've since scrapped. Doesn't flow right with what I want in combat. Can salvage a lot of it though. #CherubDev #UE5 #BunnyPileBunker

Trying an experiment with Lucky. #CherubDev #UE5

I think I have the basics for the face animation system in place. Should be expandable for future iteration. #CherubDev #UE5
