BIOASSHARD DEV REPORT 5/27/2021

Added 2021-05-27 16:40:12 +0000 UTC

Hello everyone!

Time for another report.

This time is more like a status update, basically, because I’m still on the same process, the step 3 of this ‘table’ (but I still wanted to let you know, just in case you were missing me :3):

1- Unify all the code into a single class

2- Make them enemies to work as they should again

3- Improve and modularize the code <- (This is where I am right now)

4- Expand the code and go for the first Boss

Standardizing and modularizing all the code for re-usage on all the current and future enemies is a lot more work that anybody could think at first glance.

The basic processes are already working, but there’re still more complicated stuff like the grappling or the receiving damage process, that needs to be crafted a lot more carefully to make it usable for any and all enemies. For this specific process I can’t only think of the current enemies, but for all the future ones (at least the ones we thought of during our Design Doc).

The good thing about this hard work, is that the more I get used to the different parts of this system the more I can see its potential for future additions.

On other news, Unreal Engine 5 it’s finally here… as an Early Access. We won’t be using it for now, apart from it being an Early Access yet, I’ve seen some reports about the performance, and looks like it’s not perfect yet. Also saw some requirements, like a RTX to aim for 60fps (I’m talking about the editor usage obviously) and that’s just too much, I’m too far from an RTX, so I didn’t even download it xD. We’ll see how it evolves during the upcoming months. For now, we’ll keep using UE4 as it looks like from what I’ve seen, it remains practically identical in terms of programming (C++ and BPs), so it should be “easy” to upgrade to it when/if the time comes for that.

This is it for this status update.

Please make sure to take care and stay safe <3

See ya in the next report.
