Dev log - Crafting Mechanics Preview and Tour - Hereford 1642 - Unreal Engine 5
Please let me know what you like about crafting in games.
If you want the inventory system I have used please see www.youtube.com/@GamesByHyper
I have modified the system extensively
I want to continue making lots of varied crafting mechanics for Hereford 1642 as I enjoy this game mechanic so much in games. The satisfaction of creating your own rare items and either trading them or using them is so cool to me. Of course the best and rarest items can only be made by you!

    Interesting. I am glad it is a work in progress as the layout appears too spacious and the Cathedral close, what is now Church Street and the cloisters and spire are missing from the cathedral itself. I would be curious to see how it might progress. As someone who lived in the city for a few decades i recognised nothing of the layout, which would be recognisable as the street layout of the City Centre and the churches are still recognisable today.

      I used a couple of different sources mainly maps and then I was given a drawing that was made by a local artist used in museums.

      @@Hereford1642 There's a lot to research there. According to Leland, it was comparable to Windsor at its peak. As far as I can recall it would have been in disrepair by 1642. Trying to find accurate drawings is really difficult. There was an idea that it was built by William I, but it's also very possible that it pre-dates the Norman Conquest, but was still constructed in that style.
