Slowly continuing work on Xenon Arena. Haven't been able to update much as I've got a lot of things half done and not much fully done. But have a nice picture of WIP foliage #anime #partygame #stylised #gamedev #unrealengine #ue5

Been a blast working on the aim assist and better visual responses in combat. Also some lighting and atmosphere changes in the background of the level but those are not far enough along to bother talking about yet. Good things soon!

So what have we been up to? 'Tank Game'! Through a lot of learning on Alepha, trying more advanced mechanics like networking and objective gamemodes led us to developing a small scale party game to give us a testing ground and (hopefully) a released game. Still needs a name! #gamedev #unreal #indie

Main start menu for 'Tank Game' with a flashing prompt for the player to start

The main menu with buttons for 'Arena', 'Minigames', 'Settings', and 'Quit' along with a rotating screen of the player tank

The lobby menu for arena showing the 'Play Game', 'Set Map', and 'Set Mode' Buttons. Along with a placeholder image for a map, gamemode and map name

That's a really good idea. I've been wanting to balance the classic xbox look with a sort of "high res" feel to it. Like remastering a vibe rather than a game. Will definitely be posting up in the next day or two with environment and lighting updates!

A big part of developing Alepha after finishing university is to get as many people as possible interested. We want to explore options for accessibility to allow a wider range of players access. Starting with 3rd person as a player option and working on colorblind options. #gamedev #accessibility

Screenshot of a WIP per-player view toggle. Player 1 is using 3rd person and player 2 is using 1st person. Having these options gives players more variety in how they play, and allow players who may struggle from motion sickness in 1st person a way to enjoy the game comfortably.

Alepha is still in its development infancy. But the support has been unreal. Really looking forward to whats coming this summer. Character overhaul, new maps, minigames, new weapons. We have got a long way to go and I'd love for you to join us on this journey! The Cycle ends with you!

Taking this weekend to go over our Menu UI to give it some more life before we knuckle down into the development of the 3D art. Getting closer and closer to a public Alpha Test 👀

"A day at the beach" concept by our very own @minikingames.bsky.social Intended as a 'vibe' study for the atmosphere of our first multiplayer map, and showcasing our skybox centerpiece, the world tree which holds together the artificial dyson-ring. Excited to share more in the coming weeks!

We are coming up really close on the itch release of Alepha's mechanics test. Very early testing to allow me to patch out as many bugs as possible whilst working on the modelling side of development. Hope to see you all testing! #alepha #indiedev #gamedev #y2k #shooter #unrealengine
