I've rebranded my solo dev studio! The name was inspired by my unusual sleeping habits. Anyway, Itch is updated and I am working through my steam stuff. Check out the little demos I have at sleepfightgames.itch.io #gamedev

Some more experiments - still trying to get a nice balance of low fi and readability. also dont use default cubes for blockouts if you plan to remesh them and make them into mountains because those are engine assets and it wont let you so... #screenshotsaturday #unrealengine #gamedev

Right to repair is starting to look really important if the current thing continues. Assuming you can even get the parts...

still some directional glitches still but the radar is starting to come together! #wingcommander style radar shows targets relative to the nose of the ship so above center is above the nose etc. #gamedev #unrealengine

Posted as a reply to my original thread but dont want this buried in a thread so I am posting to my main - Here is the corrected 'put a blip at the edge of the radar' version with no more cos / sin for people who are interested. #gamedev #unrealengine #wingcommander

Ok so here is some essential blueprinting for use when making a Wing Commander style radar system in Unreal Engine. I now share it so that future generations do not have to drink as much coffee and read as much math textbooks and unreal docs as I did. #gamedev #unrealengine #wingcommander

so close! we are on the circumference of the radar now... the purple dot is basically where it would be if it were in front of the player and the red is the translation for when it is behind. need to invert above below left and right i think tho. #gamedev #unrealengine
