Having a hard time with UMG. I made a widget that contains another user created widget. In the Editor the UI works as intended. But in shipping the build the UI now does not appear or behave as intended. Why is this? Is there something I am missing?

Alright I kind of fixed it. I am using Primary data assets to handle adding new game objects with just a data asset and you see the new item in the game. But it seems you need to make sure to cook the assets as well. Turns out they had a "Editor Only" option enabled. The Inventory works now.

I tend to notice that I get more organized and motivated to work when I open up obsidian or something I can just write my thoughts quickly. 100 wpm is good enough to capture all of that right?

Hallo everyone wan wan. How is every one today? I am going to get a brisket sandwich shortly. I am looking forward to that BBQ goodness. I may stream later tonight but I am not sure what I will be streaming. Work or game?

Is there a resource out there I don't know about for #UnrealEngine I kind of want to avoid deep C++ code with slate if I can avoid it for now. But still do something more than a simple game menu UI. I am having a rough time making a UI for inventory for example.

Im going to work on the crafting system today. I need to make it where we can use stuff from the inventory and spawn the object if the list of recipe is satisfied.

Currently playing TCG Simulator. I want to try to unlock everything. That's the goal anyway. Road to lvl 115 Lets go! Join me on my stream :3 on my profile! #Stream #live

I got me the AI for games by Ian Millington. Its a big boy of a book. But it seems like the right reference for me. I read some of it already and its a great reference. In the end it seems I just need to finish projects. The game AI is dependent on the game being made after all.

I just dont like shitty design. A cancel sub button should be standard. Surely the cost of not giving your customers the sense of control of the sub is higher than giving it to them.

Why do I have to make a call to reserve a rental car? Why do I have to call to check if they have a car available? This cant be the way things are done come on. How can we live in the "AI revolution" and we still have to deal with this? 40 minutes on hold for a 5 minute call ugh.

I have been really procrastinating lately lol. Going to have to go back and start doing something. I want to do some leetcode, but man. I could also work on my projects instead and add to my portfolio.

If anybody needs some Unreal Engine 5 help with C++, Blueprints or general game system architecture work I would like to help. I need to update my itch to show what I have. But I've touched Eqs, AI l, customer subsystems, UI, sequencer event work.

Like I know it isn't that hard to just record my games and take a Pic here and there. But boy do I struggle to just do it. But...I need to show what I can do to do it more. What a conundrum. It was easier to get my first job. Haha.

My next small game I want to make is a guild master simulator. You are a retired adventurer in a fantasy setting and have been asked to run a guild to find the heroes to defeat a demon king. The game loop is to assign groups of adventurers and send them off to these quests.

The demon king can generate monsters and quests are generates based on the monster locations. The guild master game on paper ended up being a game with systems on top of systems. Ill try to get a prototype up and see of its fun. Maybe I can emulated the game with dice and paper.

Cozy life simulator game where a feature is to have a family tree. New npc spawn from 2 other npcs and follow a type of trait sharing. These npc grow your village and you can train them up to be specialized. Rim world like cozy game.
