Platformer Update #2

I'm starting to flesh out my ideas a bit more for this project. I have been working on my player character design and wanted to have a main rubric to use. So I got a 3 month free trial to Clip Studio and started drawing on a picture that I could reference back to for the pixel art and potentially for the start screen image. Here is the outline that I have so far:

I'm going to continue working on it. I have some inspirations from a bunch of ninja designs including Raiden from Metal Gear Rising Revengance and the and Ryu from the Ninja Gaiden 6th gen console games.

More updates to come. I can't wait for you to see what I'm cooking up.

So I finally decided to decided to decent into the deep and wonderous maze of Unreal Engine. I have UE5 installed and have started on the process of looking at the video tutorials provided by epic-I'm currently doing the First hour course on the Unreal Engine website.

It's also being used more in movies and Television. Star Wars has been using it for a few years now:

There's so many possibilities here. Might occasionally switch back to Blender just so I don't get over whelmed. But I really happy that this is available and that Epic have made these videos to show newcomers how it works.
