I am finally back from #GDC2025 and fully rested, catching up with old friends, lots of networking, and partying in the SF nightlife 5 nights in a row. First time getting involved with the #UEFN crowd, loving the vibes! See you guys at Unreal Fest! 🥳

The Darkness awaits... 😱 Wrapping up the ending area, almost done with the game, just a few more tasks, and tons of playtesting to ensure a smooth launch! 🤞 #UEFN #Verse #FortniteCreative #indiedev #gamedev #horror

Added a toggleable retro mode to simulate PSX graphics, some parts give off some Silent Hill 1 vibes 😱👀 #UEFN #FortniteCreative #indiedev #gamedev

Another long night filled with more creepy cinematics😱, did a first pass of the ghost introduction sequence, and I am definitively going to be seeing her in a dark corner tonight during sleep paralysis... 😅🥲😭 #UEFN #FortniteCreative #horror #indiedev #gamedev

Long night indeed 🌚, implemented a first pass of the capture cinematic when the ghost gets too close to you. When caught, you wake up inside a bathroom which acts as a safe zone. 😱 #UEFN #FortniteCreative #Verse #indiedev #gamedev #horror

Wrote a custom #UEFN AI using #Verse, state machine with randomized patterns based on the progress of the game's objective. Also prototyped a sight-jacking system inspired by Sirent/Slitterhead👀 spooky😱😱 #indiedev #gamedev #horror #FortniteCreative #Fortnite

Now comes the worst part of making a #horror game, creating the #spooky AI and making sure it gives me nightmares, second project I work with the ring girl and I can feel the PTSD coming from Linger lol 😭😭😱 #UEFN #Verse #FortniteCreative #indiedev #gamedev

Some shots from the school exterior area of our #UEFN horror game, started decorating the gym, project size is almost at 100% 😭, so we have to start getting very creative with repeated assets 👀 #FortniteCreative #Fortnite

I've been iterating on multiple systems built on #Verse to handle gameplay and puzzles for our #UEFN horror game, most puzzles are randomized, and each playthrough will feel somewhat unique. Only a few more puzzles left, then spooky AI, story pass, polish/juice pass and it should be ready to ship!🥳

#UEFN device spaghetti, all these devices for door mechanics, a locked door objective, and an audio volume 😭 scene graph pls 🫣

Did some look dev on the exterior area of the school, the players have to search for an item in these props that spawns randomly in predefined spots to open the school's front entrance. 🛠️ #UEFN #Verse #Fortnite #FortniteCreative #gamedev #indiedev

Let there be LIGHT!💡🔦 Implemented a custom flashlight that fits better with the experience's horror theme. We're still tweaking the movement to hopefully get rid of the stutters. #UEFN #Verse #FortniteCreative #Fortnite #Horror

Having to copy/paste all these devices is such a messy workflow. 😭 I can't wait for scene graph. 🤩

Here's a simple custom loot system I prototyped today, it could use a bit more VFX later on. 🪙

We're cooking up multiple #UEFN projects 🤯, This one is a cozy, casual medieval PvE experience for up to 10 players. My role here is mainly to provide support, ensuring the project’s vision is realized while also handling all the #Verse systems. #FortniteCreative #Fortnite

in the .uplugin you should be able to add "Plugins": [...] and add dependent plugins to get rid of dependency warnings, then make sure the PrivateDependencyModuleNames or PublicDependencyModuleNames have the modules you're using, GameplayTags is a module while GameplayAbilities is a plugin

Hopefully I was able to provide some value, let me know if you would like to see more #UEFN #Verse #UE5 #C++ technical breakdowns. My main #UEFN project is a 4-player jhorror game, inspired by Siren, Silent Hill, and a viral gamejam game I did a few years ago called Linger.

Here's how I use the audio volumes, I change the mesh of the device to something smaller. I make the volume a child of the device, and then I make sure the references are set on the details panel, since the math uses RELATIVE transforms, make sure the forward X is pointing to where you need it.

BioXide @bioxide.bsky.social · 01/12/2024

I keep my audio players tightly coupled to the audio manager if they are not attenuated/spatialized.

BioXide @bioxide.bsky.social · 01/12/2024

audio_manager_device looks up all audio_volume_device by tag and registers them to the manager, so we can easily manage the audio players. There's some project-specific code here, such as unique sounds I always want to have a reference, in case I need to play them directly.

BioXide @bioxide.bsky.social · 01/12/2024

This method makes audio zones much easier to handle. You start with the audio_volume_device, which wraps around a volume_device for overlaps and has an array of sounds to play when AgentExitsEvent fires. Depending on the direction it exits, it will play different sounds.

Here's a technical breakdown of some audio systems I use in my #UEFN #FortniteCreative horror game. 🧵

Web-Dev Saturday, UEFN Sunday tomorrow.🤓 I am almost done with my new studio's website, AI has been definitively carrying me on this one as I don't enjoy venturing deep into these lands of JS, HTML, and CSS. I'll stick with UE5/UEFN, C++/C#, and Verse. 🫣 We are cooking something special.👨‍🍳😈

Hello! 👋 I've been doing audio work lately on my #UEFN horror project and built a #Verse soundscape solution to blend different audio players seamlessly, vibing with how it's coming together. 🔊🔊🔊 Full video here: streamable.com/4ihnso #Fortnite #FortniteCreative #GameDev
