Keep this series going please. Im new to URE5 and trying to learn how to make games and this series helps me alot, Thanks for making these. And you are very good at explain :D

Haha great idea! I recreated this (for the most part) and actually played it for like 2 hours. My modification was - added a very simple AI companion and ranged enemy attackers. It was great :D

I would love to see monthly challenges like this when they release assets for free. Definitely a great idea!

doubloon comes from the spanish doblon , basically meaning "two" or "double." It was basically a slang term for two coins, and became a coin itself as 2 coins became such a common price for goods that 1 double-coin became prominent.

It was interesting seeing you call a pistol a "dubloon", but this looks like a really cool challenge. Sadly, I'm not anywhere near skilled enough to do anything with Unreal.

Really cool, love how far games have come, to the point where you can just throw them together right in your home computer with a few downloads. I think you should have the skeletons spawn in the water just on the edge so it looks like a smoother spawn, and they’d just be drowned pirates that went down with their ship

Beginner game designer, I’ve been doing online courses and just trying to find better and more resources to learn. This video was very resourceful and honest to god you did a great job on this UE5 Game

This kind of videos is truely amazing, I really want see the tutorial to make this game. Congrats, it looks great.

Love your content man! Every video helps me greatly!🎉

Keep up the great work! Love your videos. You are really one of the best out there to learn from ❤

So sick I was thinking of makign the exact same game when I saw those assets on the market place!!! That skeleton looks badass!

Yes! Do this type of video every month! It is pretty entertaining

Awesome work, i like the idea of creating small projects for these free assets instead of just showing them with much context. ❤

I've been trying to rally the community around doing something like this for awhile now. Maybe now that somebody with actual talent is doing it, this can get some traction. I'm guessing this guy can do this stuff full time too, so it'll be cool if he continues it with tutorials each time. Then I can compare to what I've done and -cry- learn how to do better.

Great idea for a video series. Keep em coming 😀

Looks like it would be a fun concept. Nice work, my guy.

This game looks sick! At first I was upset that the corals are free because I paid for them a month or two ago and didn’t want them to be in every water related game where they don’t look cool anymore, but now, I’m thrilled that the other free assets are free because they look really nice! At least my coral packs were bought somewhere else so I can use them for any project on any platform, instead of only in Unreal lol.

If you change sizes, colors and place them more carefully than just random plant brush, you can make a coral reef very different looking than anyone using the same asset ;)

A pirate game, Nice! I am in your survival game coarse and I see how the skills from your coarse translate here. By the way I am loving the coarse. Keep up the great work man.

I don't understand why some gamedevs hate on other gamedevs who use assets from the unreal store. Don't they understand that when you buy an asset from the asset store you support the original asset creator financially and you can use it in your game. It's a win win.

7:15 I really like the way you added the barrels

You could make the island bigger, there could be a merchant ship where you can buy when it comes with random items, and it leaves and comes back again at some point, could be also enemy ships and allies you can reqruit, could be town there that you can build, it could attract ppl that has quests and unlock more places, and some caves to explore

Ship, corals, portrait... Easy! Diving for treasure game with a padlock that can be unlock with lockpick.

Love your work just subscribed as a recommend from 360 Horizons channel.

haha randomly ran into this video and got engaged to the point that I'm now late for dinner. Great video!

Great minds think alike, right? 😉 But talent and experience really make the difference. Glad to see other people are starting to pick up on this idea (and that there's now at least one more person I can learn from)!

U could put items to buy, like a hammer and a wooden mug. To restore health of the base and the player, who would cost a lot of coins and take a certain time between wave to repair. It can be a great option to increase the difficulty by choosing the better option at the right moment and by that, increase the durability of the game.

Awesome video, waiting for tutoring 🔥

Yes, challenge each month. Make another type of game, and do a tutorial on how to implement feature X. Ty

Nice video for sure. Just fyi, a doubloon is a gold coin. The pistol you have is a flintlock, sometimes aka a musket. Just thought you might want to know. No biggie. Still a nice and appreciated video.

Hey , love t watch ur content !! inspiring !! I have a great idea to add in on the game ; a function to the pirate ship, make the current one more shipwrecked with some dmg on and as you progress the lvl you can fix it and make it sails work and add cannons to it and it will either circle the map or be in a selective spot so the ship helps you clear the mobs. ( just how the cannon work now ) but way cooler if it shoots cannons from the ship. Also as could add in crew member character's so it looks like they are firing the cannons. ( or circle the island on the ship ) could potentially make it look even cooler. Perhaps in the future, add in a broker store on a different island a distance away, that can only be reached after the ship is completely fixed and the players has to sail to that island to get even further bonus tier upgrades, could be a instance where the game pauses ( when on ship the game run time is paused , no new lvl until ready for next stage ) , or use the house as a start next stage. I dunno, maybe add some effects and voice overs, default effect and default voice over ( arhhh or some ) xd and then some more sound effect on the gun that can be upgraded as u progress , also on the cannon effect ( leaves small fire mark , ground effect, very little smoke, ) does not impact the game progress , but does make it a bit more fun to have different options as one progress. Perhaps try to create a default holding animation on the player character , is a bit weird he always hold it the current way and seems to unrealistic, just make different one, a two part shooting animation, the one you have now and 1 more before shooting, then create a different one when your not shooting ( could be something around, changing the stance or drawing out the gun before the shooting animation into that animation ) might be hard to do , but this just ideas, either like it or not ( several ideas usually helps regardless and brings new things to light ) Or even better one , make the character able to drink beverages and the more you progress the more piratey he becomes, like wobbly etc.. this gotta effect him in a funny way on the walk/running animation and as well of the gun holding ( like a real drunk pirate with a gun ) his arm with the gun is more focused and not that affected, but his right arm can be a bit more wobbly after drinking each round and same with the rest of the character animation. Make his running animation like jack sparrow, but then you might need to also increase the fov or the camera input to be a little further away from the character so one can see it. Could maybe try to make a pirate flag with editable logo/appearance, that goes on to the house and ship. ( or simply just have one default as a start point to reference a pirate, a flag with skull on ) Could also try make the environment look better even with the current assets you used. Anyway that's about it , was fun to watch this video like always. keep at it, i enjoy this content. Impressive you made something with just a few things.

Great video!

I really wish a dev would come out with a 'twin motion' type platform to make world making drop and drag! It's obviously possible, but no idea why it isn't being done! So many of us would love to have a 'base building' open world to just mess around in that also looks beautiful. GMOD outdated. Unreal, too much to learn vs. the simplicity it could have. Twin Motion 80% there, but missing module assets, better library for world building, and of course, no open ended sound engine. There is a need and desire for such a beast. Yet, it goes completely ignored. Money on the table!

This would be so fun to expand on. Level up your towers and your armor or pistol

Like the idea!

so crazy man was this fun.😂

@SmartPoly

9 ай бұрын

you can setup an aim offset (the free animations include one) but I didn’t setup due to time constraints. But you can blend it with the lower half of the body and the upper half will be the aim offset. It should fix the character’s janky upper body movement

really got that jack sparrow run goin for ya x3

Surprisingly cool.

Amazing the tools we have available to us these days.

this was great, almost everything i wanted to learn was here, do you have a tutorial for this genre?

Your videos and courses are always perfect. Personally I would like an in depth course on multiplayer.

I doubt youll come back to this project, but itd be cool if the explosive barrels had chain reaction effect. Setting off one would blow up, delay then anything in radius would also blow up.

This looks amazing with only thing that needs major improvement that the player controller looks a bit restrictive it would look free and realistic if you move player's pistol hand with mouse movement. Everything else is amazing

Hell Yeah, Do this all the time!!!

this actually sounds like it would make a good game. edit: besides all the modern stuff in the game that doesn't make sense with the pirate theme.

This guy is genius 😊

if you wanna see a completed game that used only free assets look into trading simulator 2. Dug into the files and I dont think I found an original model in there, I think some of the blueprint programs mightve been original, even then a majority were ripped from his previous titles since he didnt bother changing names in the code. Also has good examples of what not to do, like the dude bought a battle royale pack, used 25% of its space put up shitty barriers then left all the unused assets on the map in places inaccessible, like youve got a BR plane just floating outside the map with its program still intact which the player will never even see.

hey man really love what you do :) do you need any type of music for your games? would love to collaborate :D

A doubloon is a form of currency. Why do you think your pistol is called a Doubloon? lol. It's called a Flintlock pistol.
