If your indie game project is a character running around in a nice environment. I would recommend going away from the computer, take a hot bath and ponder upon the core mechanics instead of getting the cape physics just right. Not so much ”I hate Journey”, but rather ”Are you sure you’re working in the correct order of things?”

Procedural Animation School #1: You gotta rotate before you can walk.

Procedural animation. Most people think of spiders and a lot of legs. This is one part, but I would say transforming physical forces into rotations is even more important & a good start > Thread > The rig is super simple and entirely done with empty gameObjects acting as bones and primitives parented under these "bones"

Felt like some the tutorial suggestions could be answered directly. This is a hard one for me because i recognize my privilege & everyones path is different. Just make games/prototypes I would say, share progress, don’t fret if it doesn’t get noticed, just keep at it. >

Do not let your ego get in the way of progress. Feedback does not need to be challenged. Feedback is not the law. Feedback is best when it’s unfiltered and raw. (Kids are amazing playtesters) Take the pieces of feedback you vibe with.

#UnrealEngine5 Lumen light game idea. Essentially similar the style of this old thing I did a long time ago. But the character would emit light. And there would be light pylons around the map that would change the player's color and give them > different attributes while standing in the light. Absorbing the pylon would give the player a certain temporary buff that they could bring with them but deplete the pylon. Child pylons could be activated getting there in time with your timed buff. If a player already was colored>
