When you were talking about *"asset flips"* it sounded like you don't understand the term, that originated from no effort "games" from random people who bought an asset pack and just sold it's example scene as is with some random title and maybe a bunch of other assets attached. It's not about using bought assets in general, rather making no effort to make a game in a first place. Yet I fully understand your defensive position on using bought assets, because people are quick to judge a book by it's cover. Good luck with the game 👍
I would suggest that was the origin of the term, but these days it has diluted to mean "I recognize that you used a store asset", and has therefore become meaningless, although those using it get to feel like they've got a 'gotcha' on the devs.
@@sapientunderground Sadly this the case for sure these days. Best thing to do if presented with this situation is to just ignore such people since they're either ignorant about the actual term or they know but they just want those clicks.
@@CRUMVIII At the end of the day a product will make money or not from the dev perspective. I see audiences getting burnt out on certain assets, but I expect that's a minority. Ultimately I'd hope the gameplay is what matters.
I loved seeing you 3D model the environment & how you said it took days! I gotta set realistic expectations for myself on how long it'll take to get something done. I love the way it turned out! I agree with what you said about reusing assets - it saves time and it was made to be used more than once! Great video, can't wait to see the next devlog 😎
I need to be honest I’m struggling so hard with time management on projects 😅 but I think it’s getting better and it totally helps seeing for example the progress you made or progress from other devlogs
@@StarkCraftsYT time management takes practice, no worries! 🙏🏼 gotta remember to enjoy the journey too 🤩 I agree, once you start seeing results you just want to bulldoze through it lol
3:40 so true, because by that logic ANY game made with Unity or Unreal should be considered as asset flip, because the engine is asset as well. Like in 80's and 90's game devs had to make completely new engine just to make a new game...
Awesome video! Really like the idea of your game. Also the store environment looks really good. The story sound interesting as well. Looking forward to your next devlog. Keep it up! :)
@@StarkCraftsYT no prob. By the way, for your avatar do you use a motion capture software to get the natural movements? When your avatar moves as you talk the movements are really naturalistic. Also cool design for the avatar too. That's like the main thing i noticed at first in your videos.
Thanks man! Yes it’s called VseeFace and u need to make a specific character for it in blender. But there are many more options out there and I will make this year a new setup completely from scratch. :D
@@StarkCraftsYT ah ok nice! Thanks for letting me know. Im looking for a way to add more natural movement to my 3D characters without having to animate by frames
ty for the detailed explanation! could you provide some more insight in your workflow from blockout in engine -> final assets in blender -> replace blockout in engine? i'd like to understand that process better, like how to keep assets scaled correctly, exporting blockout assets to blender and detailing them, etc.
It’s very funny! I have a kinda story frame, like a sketch with must-have-elements, beings and events. I end up with informations just for me. (Like a History book version of my story) In the second part I’m putting the character and his perspective into it and i experience every through the character. I create questions for the character and I’m revealing more answer and question to drive the story to it’s climax. I’m not sure if this makes sense 😅
Mr Stark Crafts, I wanted to ask if you see this comment. Could you do a tutorial on how to animate lip movement for UE5? Just like how your avatar is animated when you talk. Greatly appreciated.
Amazingg job bro, and I was wondering how to made live stream or desk stream with ps1 graphics like you - I have two kinect sensors maybe it will be easier for this job : ?
It’s actually way easier then you think! I use a webcam (I have a equipment link list below the video) And Vseeface it’s a very basic motion tracking software and u need to make a specific character for it. But I will make my own Avatar Tracking setup in unreal engine this year for my phone and my vr headset
Okey :D I'm currently creating my new Avatar and I will document everything But my current character setup is basically 1to1 like this Avatar in this video czcams.com/video/jNIn5YualNI/video.html

I appreciate you making everything from scratch, it gives the game more character and makes it more unique in my opinion. Cant wait to play it!
Thanks man! It’s currently I bit of a love hate situation because the progress on the game is so slow 🥲
Awesome looking progress man, can't wait to see this come together.
Thanks 👍
Ooo! It's looking good! Very exciting 😄
Thanks 🙏

Exactly! And I think developers from the 80s and 90s would appreciate our situation and give a thumbs up

This is really inspiring! I really like the deaigns for the mall and different assets you made. Its cool that you're modelling your own assets btw.
I’m glad you appreciate it

The game looks like it kicks ass dude, what is your process for writing a story when you're not modelling?
It’s very funny!

Can you show how you animated your character
do you mean betty bunni or my avatar ?

Same 😅
