Our #TWD #UEFN game is shaping up nicely. We are currently focused on the atmosphere, walker balance, and economy. The game will feature multiple scenarios within the same map and randomized objectives 🤯

The Walking Dead collab made us pivot a bit from our other #UEFN projects😅, we're cooking something spooky, fun, and replayable👻 Getting the 3Cs and vibe in place before moving into gameplay👀

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! 🥳

We've started blocking out the lobby area for our new #UEFN horror game, using a quick, simple layout and a lighting pass to get the initial mood set. Procedurally generated levels, multiple ghost types with unique AI, randomized objectives, and more cool stuff! 😱🤯

until you have the correct amount of actors needed for the use case, so when RoomCurrentObjectCount >= RoomObjectCount, then do stuff, else keep looping the getter until it does 👨‍🍳

BioXide @bioxide.bsky.social · 10/02/2025

ah that information is critical, it sounds like one of those "it just doesn't work as expected" issues in UEFN, it could be a weird race condition with actor inits or some limitations with the find method, if a traditional approach doesn't solve the issue, you can always just keep deferring the loop

We took a break from UEFN and went for a nice date at an arcade. 🕹️ We had so much fun!! Now back to production 👾 #arcade #nostalgia #date #indiedev #lifestyle

BioXide @bioxide.bsky.social · 09/02/2025

it's probably because those actors are inside a grid that hasn't been loaded and FindCreativeObjectsWithTag is querying actors that are currently in memory

BioXide @bioxide.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

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

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

BioXide @bioxide.bsky.social · 02/01/2025

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!🥳

BioXide @bioxide.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

thx! most of those assets ended up getting replaced with lower-quality ones as they bumped the project size to 130% 😭, 15MB per mesh plus 5mb for each 1k texture 😅

BioXide @bioxide.bsky.social · 16/12/2024

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

BioXide @bioxide.bsky.social · 15/12/2024

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

BioXide @bioxide.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

I want to randomize the amount during runtime instead of adding multiple entries to the granter, using the amount in the granter as a base, each granter acting as a loot table specific to that lootable device, once the game is running, those devices are non-mutable

000

thank you! wish you the best as well 🤩

Once we nail the core gameplay loop, we can expand into other elements such as story, crafting, and socials. 👀

We'll try but it will be challenging as we're catering to the boss battle/zombie crowd. They want to jump in and slay stuff while getting stronger, and any readable text has to be carefully placed to ensure it doesn't detract from the engagement, maybe we'll lean more into environmental storytelling

100

thanks, very helpful, gotta find those sneaky 2k/4k textures hehe ✂️

100

Yup, run around, slay zombies and guards, get gold and resources, craft and boss battles 🫠

BioXide @bioxide.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

True dat, especially the audio players, item granters are a bit different, I need fine control over the number of items granted as I run them through a min/max RNG delayed granting loop since we don't have amounts exposed for tweaking, which creates the "pinata" effect when opening the loot.

100

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

BioXide @bioxide.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

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
