[UE4] First Game - Wave based FPS

Blake Mead · Sep 2016

My friend and I decided to jump into Unreal Engine 4 and try to make something cool. We don't have any solid goal for the game at the moment other than survival wave based shooter. So as of now, we are just getting the base FPS set up and ready to play around with.

We welcome all critiques so please leave us a comment. enjoy!

can you make this kind of thing without knowing how to code? I can model/render/animate..

Blake Mead · Sep 2016

Yes you can. while it does require more of a technical mind set and programming logic. You do not need to know any actual coding language. Unreal Engine 4's "Blueprint" visual programing is amazing. I recommend watching their "Introduction to Blueprints" playlist on YouTube. They explain it far better than i could. (

Sorry for the long delay here. Had to move across the country for a new job.
Switched gears and started working on an interior modular set.

really loving this so far. always a fan of modular work etc.

Not long started using substance designer myself and really loving it!

I'm guessing you're using the 2nd substance on a wall (with the dusty part of the wall) you could simply have it without the dust at the base like that and instead apply dust via decals. Just incase you need to use that material and tile it more. (without the dust repeating a lot)

Keep em coming dude!

Thanks!
Yeah I thought about that but decided that i could author its placement, using the depth inside substance designer to get a more natural look. And whenever i have a second story i was already planning on putting some cross beams in. They would hide the vertical tailing seams of this wall texture for me.
here is a screenshot to show a bit what i mean:
