Interesting take, keep going!
@@riuthamus I will! 😬
I used unreal engine as a beginner it was hard at first but over time it becomes easier and easier and easier as time goes by the more you use
@@PolyGuildAdventurers totally agree!
Wow, I have to say, I’m really impressed that you managed to pull this off in just 14 days! Watching the video and then trying the game myself, it’s clear how much effort you put into every aspect. The level design is especially amazing-seriously well done on that. The music track fits the vibe perfectly, and making it timed was a solid choice that adds an extra layer of challenge. The camera and controls feel smooth, though they’re a bit unusual-I can’t decide if that adds to the charm or needs a tweak! I did encounter a bug where I fell off and didn’t die, so my character just wandered under the obstacles, but hey, bugs are part of the learning process, right? The fact that you not only finished something but did it so quickly is inspiring-I’ve been working on my first project for over a month, and seeing your progress motivates me to keep pushing forward. Great job, and I’ll be keeping an eye out for your next project!
Where can I find more people like you? Because that was one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me! 🥲
It's fantastic to find videos like this and connect with others on the same path. I jumped into the exciting (and sometimes overwhelming) world of game development a while back, trying to learn my way through it. Every time I sit down to work on something, it’s a challenge-but seeing the results is incredibly rewarding. Wishing you the best on your journey, and I'll definitely be following along!
Not bad congratulation, the only thing that I would change are the jump voice sounds ... I would make them softer, almost like whispers. About Metahumans, not sure which version you use, but in Unreal 5.5 it's possible to change the LOD of metahumans (they can be smaller than 200 mB). Btw, I'm also an absolute beginner with Unreal (started last week with it), one of my main rules for my games is an option to change the button configurations ... I was never a fan of WASD and Space for jump.

Good luck bro!
@@RosieRedRevolver thank you! 👊🏽
I have a question - I'm Mac based, would you be willing to share your game source code with me - so I can create a 'smaller' version of teh game ? and also export a version so Mac users can play ?
Great video! I definitely gotta work on #3. It's been great having you join the group and contribute. Your enthusiasm has been a big boost and I really appreciate it. Keep making great content!
@@samuraischultz thank you!
That’s good Content for beginner of TH-cam and yeah man keep doing this
@@Nivexz that’s the plan! Thank you!
Not sat here 😢 Accountability group for the win all though ours does need a better name. Can attest that you truly live by the words you say always first to hype me and give feedback truly appreciate it dude keep up the great videos and work
Thanks man! Happy to be part of this journey with ya!
Keep Up Man
Thank you!
Good Bro
BRUTHA i dont want to see your face. show the game more
Dude - if you don't like the content - you don't need to be here. - just move along.
Love it! i'm with you
Thank you!
Which is actually todays video sponsor got me lmao. Was bout to start fast forwarding
@@MtnDewWarrior hahaha had to do it!
Search for this video... " I solved Unreal Engine's Package Size Problem... " - by Cobra Code
my comment - without the links... it's refreshing how simple and honest this content is. Can I suggest 2 things? - Share a screenshot of the compile error you are getting so we can try to help you solve. Check out this site on how to reduce your game file size. (you should be able to get it much smaller than 1Gb. )
I'm kind of angry now... I'm not sure if you deleted me or it was TH-cam...
@@catch22stuff29 nah it was TH-cam. They never allowed links in the comments section. Don’t be angry!
@@NinjaBirdStudios - Ok, Thanks for the reply.
TH-cam can allow links - it's up to you to allow in the settings.
I posted 2 comments with links - did u delete ? or was it TH-cam ?
@@catch22stuff29 links are disabled on TH-cam
97 subscribers ( December 12 ) - I predict over 500 by Christmas. - Good Luck to you sir...
@@catch22stuff29 thank you! Hopefully!
@@NinjaBirdStudios seems my prediction was wrong. so now I will predict - you will hit 500 subs in 2025 !!
make it 10x harder, almost impossible
HEE HAA
@@pravipiter 😂
Great video welcome to Unreal!
@@UnrealSensei Sensei! I’m honored 🥹
u deserve more subscribers king
@secretgoldfishaj I appreciate that. We will get there. BELIEVE IT!👊🏽
Yes, Agreed !!
im really glad youtube is recommending small new channels to me, i hope you become sucessful here :D
@@gkammy I’m really glad kind people like you exist! Thank you so much!! We will get there 💯
Hi Ernesto, I saw your games file path in your CMD, From my guess your troubles with exporting your game, came from the fact its in Onedrive, I have had so many issues with Onedrive surrounding Dev work, so maybe look into that. Great video man, keep it up
@@shaunmartyn6074 I’m going to test that out! Thank you for sharing that!🙏🏽
I am in the process of doing the exact same as you actually. I am 15 and making my first game in unreal engine for fun and to learn the process. For uploading to itch, instead of using butler or putting the link in, you can add a custom link and it can be any size. My file is also 1.5 GB so I created a github release which can be up to 2 GB and is free and I just got the github download and put it in itch so when you download it on itch as normal, it does it through github. Also do you have like a discord server or something?
@@DJ_JJ hi! thank you for sharing! I may need you to explain this to me more. Send me an email when you get a chance please! 🙏🏽 To be 15 and working on your first game is awesome!
@@NinjaBirdStudios Hey I just got back from holidays so I just saw and I'll email you now. I actually found a better way to do it anyway which supports any file size.
@ that’s awesome!
The sponsor fake out was wild 🤣🤣! Keep up the amazing work bro, through set backs come growth.
@@ninetailstorm1255 I agree! Thank you so much!
❤
@@sukhjotsingh6148 ask and you shall receive lol
Man, those spinning logs😂 Great video, man. I wish I could've seen the last level, but I suck at platformers. Can't wait for the first installment of that MMOARPG battle-royale high-poly ultra-realistic game you've been working on ;) In all seriousness, can't wait for the next thing you put out.
hahaha! Yeah I cant wait for that either! 😅 Appreciate it dude !
I really enjoyed the game. It has its issues but its crazy knowing how far you’ve come from start to end. Appreciate the shout out. Was a frustrating time but was good to find a workaround and we kept in good spirits for the 3 hours it took so that made it easier :) cannot wait see what you do next :) kingboars
@Zero2GameDev77 thank you so much! Cheers to a brighter future ! 🍻
👍 Waiting for next one
3:51 One Piece reference?
@@Plingo99 😂
That looks super cool! Any recommendation for tutorials on UE?
@@seanmax8762 I really like Ask a Dev. If you’re the kind of person that needs stuff slowed down so you can sit down and write notes I think he is great. Gorka games is also another great one. And EZ Unreal is great with quick how to do stuff. Hope that helps!
Congrats on starting! Curious to see the finished product👍
Thanks dude!
Looking great so far! Smashing it dude!
Thanks man!!
i am in the same boat as you don't give up bro I subbed and cannot wait for the next video.
@@Nashfanfl13 hey thank you so much for the sub! Yeah let’s do this! 😤✊🏽
I feel like there’s so many people who think this, including me!
@@TheRealT0PAZ im glad I can be relatable 🙏🏽
Great progress! you're doing way better than I was in my first month!
@@VortexForgeGames thanks ! I’m trying ! Haha
@ when’s the next video coming out?
@@VortexForgeGameshopefully tomorrow!
So nice!
Wow I’m intrigued to try this out. I’m hard headed too. I’ll suffer with you 😂
Yes. Let us suffer together 🥹😂
Dude u got over 1000 views with ur first video! For some reason the yt algorithm doesnt put ur content into the abyss like it does to million other new channels! Make use of that! And great success to ur following journey!
Thank you!
1000 is very good for a first video! I got 20 views on mine and privated it out of embarrassment!
Damn, I’m finna make a game too
@@Rickatsu let’s gooo!
i'm in the same ride as you man, i recently began to use unreal to start my dream game, but obviously i cant do it rigth away, so i will just split my game in different tiny proyects, to learn the engine and learn how to do it rigth. I've been practicing and testing with unreal since 3 or 4 month now and i can see the improvements, keep up man, we can do it!
@@LonelyTenno yes we can! Good luck to you !
