Yes it will have looping tracks, hopping between rails, manual movement and reverse direction along the spline. I'm also addicted to ragdolling manny so going to have obstacle collision tacked on as well. #ue5 #gamedev #indiedev #hype02 Apr 2026 00:56 +0000at://did:plc:p4bdcfc5mh6ghlip3mengzme/app.bsky.feed.post/3mihypz66xc2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/devenestration.bsky.social/post/3mi63kvjluk2oI've continued with the Combat Controller series, namely to change the sphere collision into a Enum to change the collision shape in the construction script for better level design. Also includes setting up custom collision objects from any mesh & how to make one in engine. #ue5 #indiedev #gamedev https://youtu.be/qahNbJC-sGc29 Mar 2026 02:20 +0000at://did:plc:p4bdcfc5mh6ghlip3mengzme/app.bsky.feed.post/3mi63kvjluk2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/devenestration.bsky.social/post/3mgzwivjvuc27New tutorial: Flight Locomotion with some free animations to boot. Includes an 8 direction 2D blend space on the XY axis, a 1D blend for Z, plus an idle animation. Also covers a little trick to change animation before velocity is applied for smoother handling. #ue5 #indiedev #gamedev https://youtu.be/6giI7b6GLcw14 Mar 2026 17:14 +0000at://did:plc:p4bdcfc5mh6ghlip3mengzme/app.bsky.feed.post/3mgzwivjvuc27https://bsky.app/profile/devenestration.bsky.social/post/3mfulxtvxx22yBy popular demand (like, really constantly being asked) here's a tutorial for sliding using the movement component. Increase speed as you slide down & decrease as you go up. Launch the character off of ramps. Blend animations between states. Contour slide to slope angle. #indiedev #gamedev #ue5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZ1I2034_Lk&lc=UgyRVhRr-BTrG_gIYo54AaABAg27 Feb 2026 20:57 +0000at://did:plc:p4bdcfc5mh6ghlip3mengzme/app.bsky.feed.post/3mfulxtvxx22yhttps://bsky.app/profile/devenestration.bsky.social/post/3memmjdwvfk2aStarting a new tutorial series around combat but not the combat itself. Things like spawning/respawning, aggro, music switching, triggering cutscenes and much more integrated and controlled by one centralized actor. #indiedev #gamedev #unrealengine https://youtu.be/TRIvim3byc011 Feb 2026 23:20 +0000at://did:plc:p4bdcfc5mh6ghlip3mengzme/app.bsky.feed.post/3memmjdwvfk2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/devenestration.bsky.social/post/3mdo2gorr6c23Happy Friday all. I bring you a new tutorial, this time in 1st person! A teleport to point with a takedown maneuver to ambush enemy actors. Includes holographic projection at end point, pose switching if targeting an enemy and can be used with indirect line of sight #unrealengine #indiedev #gamedev https://youtu.be/I-eGdlEhgc030 Jan 2026 19:37 +0000at://did:plc:p4bdcfc5mh6ghlip3mengzme/app.bsky.feed.post/3mdo2gorr6c23https://bsky.app/profile/devenestration.bsky.social/post/3mcbqfrq6jk2fSome slope/slide physics I've been tinkering with. #mathradical #UE5 #gamedev #indiedev13 Jan 2026 04:40 +0000at://did:plc:p4bdcfc5mh6ghlip3mengzme/app.bsky.feed.post/3mcbqfrq6jk2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/devenestration.bsky.social/post/3mc25rsvhwk2nFinal draft done! Added a Fresnel material effect & static mesh to better indicate where the player will end up. Pose changes if end point will hit an enemy. Also prevents teleporting if end point can't fit the player mesh & can TP to places out of direct line of sight. #UE5 #gamedev #indiedev10 Jan 2026 04:18 +0000at://did:plc:p4bdcfc5mh6ghlip3mengzme/app.bsky.feed.post/3mc25rsvhwk2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/devenestration.bsky.social/post/3mbuqvdicj227Why edit the footage for the next tutorial when I can just make the one after that? Giving the FPS players some love with a teleport to point ability with a takedown mechanic to auto strike if teleporting to an enemy actor. #indiedev #gamedev #ue508 Jan 2026 00:44 +0000at://did:plc:p4bdcfc5mh6ghlip3mengzme/app.bsky.feed.post/3mbuqvdicj227https://bsky.app/profile/devenestration.bsky.social/post/3mbhqbeskic2cHappy New Year and happy new #UE5 tutorial! Part 2 covers several ways of throwing actors using impulse, projectiles, or lerp to damage enemies and make them ragdoll when hit. #indiedev #gamedev #UnrealEngine https://youtu.be/YY4ovdj0zu002 Jan 2026 20:28 +0000at://did:plc:p4bdcfc5mh6ghlip3mengzme/app.bsky.feed.post/3mbhqbeskic2chttps://bsky.app/profile/devenestration.bsky.social/post/3mady7qqmlc2qThis tutorial is about making a telekinetic/force grab in #UE5. It goes over grabbing actors from a distance, simulating physics with collision control and includes a free overlay for highlighting actors. The next 2 parts will handle throwing actors and characters. #indiedev #gamedev #UnrealEngine https://youtu.be/KDBbVnKo2To19 Dec 2025 15:15 +0000at://did:plc:p4bdcfc5mh6ghlip3mengzme/app.bsky.feed.post/3mady7qqmlc2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/devenestration.bsky.social/post/3m7aysqovl22tI tested and reviewed the 5.7 combat variant and all its actors. I even fixed a few issues along the way! There's not too much different from 5.6, but it's still covered for those who haven't seen the variant. Turns out, it's a bit janky but otherwise a good start. #ue5 #gamedev #indiedev https://youtu.be/7v0e1gjlOCk05 Dec 2025 17:22 +0000at://did:plc:p4bdcfc5mh6ghlip3mengzme/app.bsky.feed.post/3m7aysqovl22thttps://bsky.app/profile/devenestration.bsky.social/post/3m6fz22jjts2fJust released a new short range teleport / blink tutorial. Allows tagging to move through objects & actors with only a few traces to check for available space. The project includes an after image Niagara effect (description links to The Epic Singh who shows how to make it). #UE5 #GameDev #IndieDev https://youtu.be/HLr3HBmE8s824 Nov 2025 23:44 +0000at://did:plc:p4bdcfc5mh6ghlip3mengzme/app.bsky.feed.post/3m6fz22jjts2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/devenestration.bsky.social/post/3m5kkvldwy22qI made a very simple #ue5 tutorial this week. A beginner friendly interaction for handling different types of keys and using them to open different doors. The full project is simplified down to a few blueprints and annotated. It's also free for anyone who goes to my Patreon. #gamedev #indiedev https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IzP6NRTk0k14 Nov 2025 01:49 +0000at://did:plc:p4bdcfc5mh6ghlip3mengzme/app.bsky.feed.post/3m5kkvldwy22qhttps://bsky.app/profile/devenestration.bsky.social/post/3m4yxtj6ruk2jYouTube sometimes does interesting things like fail to auto-dub a video and then stop allowing me to edit it. So if you haven't seen it, I've reuploaded my last tutorial remaking the Glintblade Phalanx from #EldenRing in #UE5. Tutorial includes sword mesh and Niagara effect. #indiedev #gamedev https://youtu.be/1Uq5as5ajqQ07 Nov 2025 01:53 +0000at://did:plc:p4bdcfc5mh6ghlip3mengzme/app.bsky.feed.post/3m4yxtj6ruk2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/devenestration.bsky.social/post/3m2d2gprazc2jI made a few tutorials on dashing, but they've all been in straight lines. Now here's one where you can dodge around an actor, keep facing the actor, rotate the camera with the movement and control how far you want to move around the target! Trigger warning: calculus. #ue5 #gamedev #indiedev https://youtu.be/4sH8PkZtyW003 Oct 2025 21:51 +0000at://did:plc:p4bdcfc5mh6ghlip3mengzme/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2d2gprazc2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/devenestration.bsky.social/post/3ly262zdxa224I remember having issues early on learning #UE5 with level select tutorials not unloading stream levels or only working with world partition. I made a tutorial for a blueprint that can use both. It also includes a means for the player to unlock levels as they go. Also, widgets! #gamedev #indiedev https://youtu.be/35KZVnATtmM04 Sep 2025 22:11 +0000at://did:plc:p4bdcfc5mh6ghlip3mengzme/app.bsky.feed.post/3ly262zdxa224https://bsky.app/profile/devenestration.bsky.social/post/3lwur6zo32k25Hopefully this will be the start of a new tutorial series. I went through remaking a few jump mechanics in #ue5 from Warframe, Mario64 and Jak & Dexter. #gamedev #indiedev https://youtu.be/bUqeA3go65k21 Aug 2025 01:12 +0000at://did:plc:p4bdcfc5mh6ghlip3mengzme/app.bsky.feed.post/3lwur6zo32k25https://bsky.app/profile/devenestration.bsky.social/post/3lwapnnsypk25I'm thinking about putting together a new #ue5 tutorial series where I recreate a compilation of popular game mechanics from over the years in #unrealengine. What are some of your favorite dash mechanics you've seen in 3rd person #videogames? #gamedev #gaming #programming13 Aug 2025 01:52 +0000at://did:plc:p4bdcfc5mh6ghlip3mengzme/app.bsky.feed.post/3lwapnnsypk25https://bsky.app/profile/devenestration.bsky.social/post/3lw6c4cc2ts2gReally need to get working on thumbnail work, but hey, at least the tutorial series is done. Heavily inspired by Kingdom Hearts this covers almost everything you would need for a lock on system. This is the last part, targeting actors with multiple target points. #gamedev #indiedev #UnrealEngine5 https://youtu.be/KeTBDFvzzdc12 Aug 2025 02:44 +0000at://did:plc:p4bdcfc5mh6ghlip3mengzme/app.bsky.feed.post/3lw6c4cc2ts2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/devenestration.bsky.social/post/3lunkn2hoak2tThis is a overview of a series I've been making on a comprehensive lock-on system. Parts 1-4 (of 6) are already released. It includes a soft & hard lock, target cycling, line of sight and focus targeting. Multi-target actors & enemy info the player HUD is next. Hope you all like it! #ue5 #gamedev https://youtu.be/mEYh5XtbL-823 Jul 2025 17:36 +0000at://did:plc:p4bdcfc5mh6ghlip3mengzme/app.bsky.feed.post/3lunkn2hoak2thttps://bsky.app/profile/devenestration.bsky.social/post/3lrxpeu2pn22hI made a tutorial going over prepping and implementing animations for motion warping, how to use motion warping, and applying it to mantling from a ledge grab. I provide an animation to use for the tutorial as well. #ue5 #indiedev #gamedev youtu.be/echlweWAXZc https://youtu.be/echlweWAXZc19 Jun 2025 14:12 +0000at://did:plc:p4bdcfc5mh6ghlip3mengzme/app.bsky.feed.post/3lrxpeu2pn22hhttps://bsky.app/profile/devenestration.bsky.social/post/3lr77jhr2ss2wI made a tutorial for grapple points with inspiration from Jedi: Survivor and Clair Obscur. A few interesting little things are in it as well such as a proximity progress bar as you get closer to a widget and a Niagara thether with a dynamically set beginning and end point. #ue5 #gamedev #indiedev https://youtu.be/IKspMZkjAoo09 Jun 2025 20:24 +0000at://did:plc:p4bdcfc5mh6ghlip3mengzme/app.bsky.feed.post/3lr77jhr2ss2whttps://bsky.app/profile/devenestration.bsky.social/post/3lp6df5azas2tRounding out every way to run on a wall, here's my tutorial for a horizontal wall run. It uses the capsule radius for measurement so it will work with custom characters. It includes a drop off time where the run arcs downwards after a certain point & wall jumping. Enjoy! #indiedev #gamedev #ue5 https://youtu.be/pSi_-NwE6aU15 May 2025 01:10 +0000at://did:plc:p4bdcfc5mh6ghlip3mengzme/app.bsky.feed.post/3lp6df5azas2thttps://bsky.app/profile/devenestration.bsky.social/post/3lnjobdb3vk2vI haven't played the new Assassin's Creed, but I wanted to mimic the vertical wall running. So here's a #UE5 tutorial that does just that. It incorporates the ledge grab tutorial from a few months ago + a method to slow down the run the higher you get up the wall. Hope you like. #indiedev #gamedev https://youtu.be/KNKIjpMIb4s24 Apr 2025 02:34 +0000at://did:plc:p4bdcfc5mh6ghlip3mengzme/app.bsky.feed.post/3lnjobdb3vk2v
