I finally worked up the courage to open the LC project again tonight. Have some screens. #CherubDev #UE5 #PILEBUNKERRABBIT

Tonight's progress. Animating the rail. The camera angle will hide the model swap to the augmented arm. I hope. Have I programmed any of this gameplay system yet? Nope! So why am I making art assets for it? Well, how else will I know if it's fun? And I'm crazy. #CherubDev #UE5

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

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

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

The combat is so far pretty enjoyable despite not having anything to fight. #CherubDev #UE5
