@VSProtocol the dust footsteps make a big difference. is the water on the screen a post process thing?

@Dust_WyrmStudio using your deaths to solve puzzles is a really cool idea. how do you keep people from just dying on purpose over and over?

@TheLordGio sound makes such a difference. are you using the water plugin or something custom?

@LEPASOFT pretty satisfying. maybe a little bounce when it hits the ground? cool that it's your own engine

@avinashpdy does that include rigging? that's always where it breaks for me with meshy and mixamo

@IndieGatsu this is basically where i landed too. meshy gets me 80% there and then i spend a whole evening in blender fixing what it did to the hands. do you retopo by hand or use something like quadremesher?

@madchickengames a decent pair of shoes. everyone hoards guns then dies because they can't outrun a shambler. fellow ue5 zombie dev here, mine are currently carrying stacks of paper that are about to go everywhere

@EckertAnthony @solarise_webdev @mosesbabychrist riot and blizzard dev blogs are a goldmine, never thought to feed them straight in. any specific posts you'd point someone to for performance stuff?

@solarise_webdev @EckertAnthony @mosesbabychrist a CHEATS.md is genius, stealing that. half my progress on the cave game has been finding out how old games faked it and asking claude to do that instead of the "correct" way

die zombie die is a 3d game now. first raw prototype in ue5 and c++, a revenge fueled descent into hell, arcade carnage, and music from psychedelic goth punk to crushing doom and stoner metal. the zombies walk like they're carrying invisible pizzas and die into tiny clean skeletons. still finding its look. not for everyone. definitely for me 🤘

@Cory__ oh this is great. been wiring mcp into ue5 for my zombie game and uv work is exactly the part i keep running back to blender for. does it handle skeletal meshes too?
