I take my commitment to build patch notes very seriously.

TL;DR - we got money and a publisher to make more cool stuff and actually finish the game

There's a scene in our game where you're on a lighthouse, watching power be restored to Busan in the distance. I came up with this effect to feel "low poly ish" but still have high detail and it's cool that the lights can come on "in sequence" instead of all at once.

Working on the main menu for Ground Zero, a post-apoc Korean survival horror, trying to give the Press Start screen some personality. Shortened for Bsky 60 second limit. Sound on! Check out our profile and wishlist if you like retro survival horrors with tank controls and pre-rendered BGs!

Merry Christmas! We have dinosaurs in our Korean post-apocalyptic fixed cam survival horror! A wishlist from you would be really appreciated!

Figured out a way to do muzzleflashes that light up the background. Our game is pre-rendered, meaning that the background and environment is fully 2D. The only thing 3D is the character and the rain. So it's pretty neat! #survivalhorror #indiegamedev

If for whatever reason you want to use a different trace channel (and you probably don't) then you have these options too, but try that as a last resort honestly

EnableClickEvents on the player controller you mean? Yeah that's needed. My enemies responded to clicking them when I set my Enemy's capsule collision to "Block" on visibility. Depending on your setup, you may need to do the same. Final setup to get it working was this:

Is your capsule part of another actor? With your setup, it works for me to click on a TriggerCapsule actor. What's your capsule? Let me know and I'll try to reproduce your setup.

We'd like to be included! We're making a 00s style pre-rendered survival horror

In our retro survival horror, you can unlock an RE3 Mercenaries-style minigame on newgame+. This is focused on arcade-fun rather than horror. Kill enemies to delay the nuke and rack up a high score. Pick your spawn point and jump out of a plane into the danger zone. (Soldier is temp!)

Mocap test for the extra RE3 Mercenaries-style gamemode in our retro horror game. This would be used in the character select! Walk in = selection, Thumbs up = confirm character pick, walk away = start map Any interest in further "behind the scenes" stuff like this that's not ingame? We got TONS
