It was really nice watching this. Don't worry about running behind. Your project is a marathon and not a sprint. You're good at talking to the camera, very natural. You got this man, I believe in you!
Speak!!! I clicked this so fast cos it's about time for Terry to get his shine. We can always reskin the models and cityscape if WB ain't feeling (or showing) the love, but making it a 'Beyond' game helps get the word out and helps us rally around the project. Plus most of the character designs and art style nuances have been sorted out to an expert level in the show. We rooting for this heavy... me and all of my personalities :)
I just found your channel today while looking at Batman beyond stuff and I really like your content your game looks good Hope we can see more of your vision.
Awesome video man. It's really inspiring to see someone else just starting out in game dev and seeing the thought process behind your decisions. Makes me want to push myself to try making something beyond my capabilities also. Really excited for what comes next!!!
good luck bro, looks amazing and cant wait to see what else you do. Im a huge fan of batman beyond so this is cool to see. Also well done on your journey , you've come a long way! 🙏
Thank you man, life has been trippy but I’m just tryna do what I can to pursue my goals. Yeah I been a fan since a kid watching it, felt like I can fill a spot for us fans by making a fan game. WB & DC need to do something with the IP
Thank you TH-cam for the recommendation. I’m not 100% agree when you talk about the Arkham games for me their gameplay are timeless, but otherwise the concept of your game is super interesting, I always dreamed to see a Batman beyond games. Don't stress too much about doing projects like that, take your time and have some fun. It's not uncommon for us to forget to have fun when we make long project plans.
I should clarify, the Arkham games are awesome and their style is timeless. But we have seen plenty of other games try & inpliment similar mechanics but not that at the same level in my opinion. And honestly I’m not interested in doing the exact same kind of combat cause they’ve already perfected it. I want to find something that might be similar but is different. That’s all. But you are correct about having fun with it, I just tend to be hard on myself. It’s trait I feel that keeps me pushing forward on things lol gift & a curse in a way.
You are too kind 🥺 thank you! Going to try and have another follow up video for an update on this project by end of the month. Hope you get to see it as it comes along. Thank you again
hey indie dev here, good luck on making this game of yours, as someone who is also making a combat focused game i have to say that making a combat system as a begginer is going to be quite difficult but as you experiment a lot you will find better solutions to mechanics you have already programmed before and you will have an easier time programming new mechanics to the combat system as well, but it is still going to take time, so yeah good luck with that also if you need any help in programming something for your combat system i can help you with that since i've programmed a lot of stuff for my own game
As a disabled artist, I find you to be a great inspiration not to give up. It's fascinating that you became interested in creating your own game projects. I agree with your logic - I have artistic skills, everything else can be learned. AI can help us as well, so we can focus on realizing our visions.
This is a very cool project you got going, It's passion projects like this warm my heart to see, as much as I don't like bringing the mood down, messing making any project starring a premium character like a Batman is legally tricky, if an IP holder feels threatened enough they'll serve you a C&D, regardless of Fair-use in play. I hope at a point in development of this project you decide to strip away the Batsuit and make it into something of your own, in either case I wish you the best moving forward. Lastly, It was funny to hear you say you aren't good at talking to the camera, while at a wedding I talked to one of photographers to ask how they got into the profession, I recall them saying something along the lines of "I don't like being in pictures." so taking pictures of others was a way to ensure they weren't in them.
dude is diagnosed with such an opressive illness as lupus and just takes it as a way to develop more skills! that's some gigachad move right here. Now i'm def keeping an eye man, considering i love photography and game dev too
Thank you for the kind words man forreal. I’ll be uploading a new video in the coming days. I try to stay consistent but the lupus does get in the way with a bust schedule. But the next few uploads will touch on all the interests I have and wanna share in this channel. Stay tuned & thanks again 🙏🏽
Hey man, just as a quick note, on headphones or with a subwoofer, your mic is constantly causing low frequency bumps because it is handheld. It happens every time your hands touch the field recorder.
I get why you wouldn’t want to just copy the Arkham combat but I will just throw out there and say. One of the main things BATMAN FANS like about Arkham is the fact it’s a good depiction of Batman from the comics. Especially the combat. Batman fights in a wild inhuman way and isn’t a grounded combatant. Plus the combat is fun so that helps. But with that being said Terry is WAYY less of a fighter than Bruce is and uses the suit to make up for his lack of trained fighting. Absolutely do what you think is best or what you think is fun or what you want for your game. A martial arts driven terry batman beyond might just be off a bit tone wise. Of course again that might not matter to you or other people/your fans. But Batman fans might feel off about it. If Batman fans are your intended demographic….. think about it, maybe.
My idea of this interpretation is an older terry. Who might’ve been trained further by Bruce to be more capable in hand to hand combat. I don’t plan on using only martial arts for the combat
You are a hero sir 🙌, im excited to see this project completed. The vaulting animations are awesome an acrobatic batman is super interesting especially with terrys gliding traversal could be insane
Ooo a 2D Batman beyond game would be dope! Comment back sometime when you get started I’d love to see how that ruins out for you! Good luck on your journey
Unless you set a public timeline, be careful to judge what constitutes being behind. If you have a really strong reason to make something, and get a really clear design of the concepts, that's the biggest stuff. And then in application you go step by step on a prototype, expand and cleanup process philosophy making each piece future accessible to where you can pick anything back up pretty quickly where you left off. It takes a lot of time but breaking here and there isn't much of an issue then as long as you're sure you'll get back to it eventually with the same energy and capability. Our culture enforces hard work in exchange for a better perception of ourselves and the more you break away from that and be true to what's right for you at any given time (which some days means working on the stuff and some days means chilling) the better off you'll be, and the higher quality you're work will be when you are doing it. That's my experience
I’m on a similar path man chasing “Storytelling Sophistication”; I used the pandemic as my time to learn Blender and picked up UE about a year go whilst working in TV initially. Look forward to following you progress👊🏾
Yeah I I tried to learn blender and was too overwhelmed lol just figured to focus on unreal & just reach out to other artists to fill in where I’m deficient. I’m getting curious into unsung unreal for filmmaking too!
Yeah just trying to take things one step at a time. I’m still a novice so just trying to present something functional for us fans to enjoy. And thanks, life through a haymaker at me but I’m still standing
Keep rolling bro, it would be great if you could share some references from where you learned. few suggestion Use AI for 3D modelling Use mid journey for concept arts Use neon back lighting in the buildings for moody look
Thanks for the suggestions but I’m honestly not trying to use AI for modeling. I tried it for concept art but I found just using something like Pinterest has helped just as much for me. The neon lighting definitely gonna use though for building the city for sure.
Okay so you’ve got the mechanics of the concept mapped out well enough but, and I do understand this’ll come later in the process, the points that hit us hard in that show were just Batman being human. Taking out criminals is one thing, counseling the marginalized, he did that too. Exposing the corruption, protecting communities, urban decay… sitting with a child so she doesn’t have to die alone. These might seem complicated but you said you’ve worked in film so the story beats can be boiled down to some subtle scripting. Superheroes don’t just fight crime, they stand against injustice too.
Yeah I have 5 missions mapped out so I plan on mixing up the mission structure. Not sure how to do cut scenes yet so I’ll try to add some story points in other ways
oo man, im hyped. parkour looks great, idk wym about u not being a good animator, looks like its coming along great. Im excited to see how u implement the rocket boots with gliding. When I imagine how rocksteady might do it, u could have normal gliding by holding the jump button as you get off a building, then maybe LT/L2 to boost with the boots, that way, the RT is still open for diving and gaining momentum
I like the way you think lol, gonna try and see if I can make happen. The animations tho are already installed in the kit I was using. The next video will show me implementing other animations myself. Hopefully it comes out just as good
Mentioning Sifu for an influence on the games fighting style - you might want to check out Absolver! It was made by the same developers as Sifu, but is *far* more stylized than Sifu and while not as refined, might give you inspiration on some of the ways you want combat to be whether in terms of visuals, or feel.
I actually played absolver, that’s what got me hype for sifu when it was coming out. But for sure might have to visit it again to see what I can grab from it
I just came across this video and I love your ideas for your Batman Beyond game! Coincidentally I have similar ideas for a game about my own OC inspired by Batman, like parkour and Sifu-inspired combat. I'm really excited to see how far you go with this, keep up the great work!!
i want to see this project work out! i was sad learning that wb turned down batman beyond but i knew that with enough love and dedication it could be just as good as spiderverse. I want you to succeed!
Yeah that fumbled massively. Idk how you see what they did with spider verse & say you don’t want that quality for your own brand. Made no sense to me lol
Interesting... But working on any project or IP that is already copyrighted is going to get you sued eventually. Even free to play fan games have been sent cease and desist letters from publishers, many times in the past.
btw, a nice side effect of using Unreal Engine, when making a game, is that it automatically means it'll work as a full 360° VR game using UEVR, which is free
I use blueprints. I’ve been struggling learning coding honestly. Still got a ton to learn but I’ve decided to lean into blueprints once I saw the creator of choo choo Charles say he only uses blueprints and was able to make that
I wish you the absolute best, but the only reservation I'd have is to have a backup character in the event that DC or someone steps in with a cease and desist type thing. Maybe think about developing an original character you can effectively slot in if that happens.
Yeah I actually plan on creating a completely original project after this game using this as a framework so worst case that would just speed up my plan but thanks for the kind words & looking out for me
Heck yeah! Batman beyond needs more love. Keep up the good work man. Making games is hard, but you are right on track to make something wonderful. Looking forward to seeing how far you take this. 🦇 -Noah
Honestly, if you have a smart phone I feel like in 2024 it’s a great way to practice without having to invest any money upfront. Practice with that. After that I’d suggest maybe Sony a6700 or lumix s9 for like a professional style camera. Those start at around 1200 though. So if I were starting out now it’d use my smart phone and get phone lenses and see how I do with that before investing in a camera.
Appreciate it, bossman. Seriously, nice one. I was thinking about that myself, but those camera recommendations will be sure to help me too. Thanks! Barakallah feek.
@UndefeatedLosersNJ I respect the dedication. It’s like what trixel creative did with their littlebigplanet restitched when it got c&ded, all they did was just change the property and boom, doing things the fans actually want
Regardless of progress, make consistent uploads on whats going on Devs wise. As for animating, consider something Into the spiderverse style, not so much because of it's artistic merit (Though it is neat) but because the lower frame rate might be easier to actually animate
I like that idea, I was thinking soiderverse but I found another style that I think will help as well. Maybe a blend of both I was thinking of a painterly filter as well. I think both could bring some uniqueness but also help with optimization
i.m proud of you brother i have a disability vision imparied in my right eye as a fellow black game developer myself i have been making platformers will graduate too beat'em ups and shoot'em ups one day i have gameplay trailers of my games on my channel one of my games got corrupted and erased from my computer i would not let that stop me like my disability also if you need scores and instrumentals i am also a independent music producer making my own scores and instrumentals #blackgamedevs #indiedevs #blackindiedevs #neverstopthegrind
Awesome! Thanks man and thanks for the kind words, keep pushing man I know things are hard but give yourself grace. I was actually thinking of instrumentals and scoring. Not needed immediately but will definitely need later down the line. I’d definitely be open to having you help out with that. Contact me through email or IG in my bio so we can discuss further
I'm a self-taught gamedev that's been coding for 17 years (since I was 10 years old), and own a small indie game company. If you need help/advice, I'd be happy to lend a hand since I'm a big batman beyond fan.
@@UndefeatedLosersNJ Do you mind putting a contact email on your TH-cam channel? That'd make it the easiest and I'll shoot you an email. Keep in mind, we roll our own engine so I can't give you specific advice on unreal engine, but I can give code explanations and help you with design decisions for things like an attack system since I've made an action game in the past. I'd post my own email but this is my bullshitting youtube account lmao, you know how it is
@@UndefeatedLosersNJ Hey! I tried to reply to you the day after you wrote this but for some reason it's not appearing here. Can you put a contact email on your TH-cam page? I'll contact you that way. I can't link my email here because this is my personal TH-cam and I try to keep my personal stuff separate from work.
Goodluck with your project, but i am not sure how will you get this past DC/WB, they own the batman franchise even if its a free game, you are bound to face issues, my suggestion would be to use a character design which is just enough to say its not batman, but everyone knows it is. This video caught my attention as i am the designer for the batman desertstorm suit and i was selling my 3d models for years, it was all good until 2020 when they shutdown all the places the model was available.
Yeah I been thinking about this. I figured it’s all a learning experience for me I feel. But if it happens I’ll definitely adjust it. I plan on taking what I’ve learned for this fan game and making a whole original game afterwards but I’ll try & explain that in the next video in this series. Thanks for the heads up
WB: You can't use our character! ITS OUR IP TO SIT ON AND DO NOTHING WITH!
hey bro I'm a self-taught game dev also. Can't wait to see how this project goes. good luck.
Thanks man. Good luck on your projects as well!
welcome too the club you too so schway
It was really nice watching this. Don't worry about running behind. Your project is a marathon and not a sprint. You're good at talking to the camera, very natural.
You got this man, I believe in you!
It took me a long time just to get here with talking to the camera lol still got a long ways to go but thanks for the kind words 🙏🏽
Inspiring. I'd just be careful as WB is known for crushing fanmade projects.
Yeah, I plan on swapping out the models eventually anyways but wanna get as far as I can on this journey before that
Thank you for doing this. It had to be done
Speak!!! I clicked this so fast cos it's about time for Terry to get his shine. We can always reskin the models and cityscape if WB ain't feeling (or showing) the love, but making it a 'Beyond' game helps get the word out and helps us rally around the project. Plus most of the character designs and art style nuances have been sorted out to an expert level in the show. We rooting for this heavy... me and all of my personalities :)
I just found your channel today while looking at Batman beyond stuff and I really like your content your game looks good Hope we can see more of your vision.
Thank you! Aiming to have a part two follow up in a week or two. Focusing mainly on setting up the combat system. Thanks again for the kind words
Awesome video man. It's really inspiring to see someone else just starting out in game dev and seeing the thought process behind your decisions. Makes me want to push myself to try making something beyond my capabilities also. Really excited for what comes next!!!
Thanks man. And definitely go for it man. You’ll be surprised what you can do once you just go for it.
BRO! This is a good idea, and it looks good so far! Keep it up fr
You’re too kind. Still got lots to do before I’m ready to drop the link for it but thank you. Will be updating soon on my progress
The fact a fan is doing a better job making a more faithful Arkham Batman game than RockSteady speaks volumes about his dedication and passion.
Very flattering, I’m just a rookie stumbling my way to getting better. But appreciate the words of encouragement.
good luck bro, looks amazing and cant wait to see what else you do. Im a huge fan of batman beyond so this is cool to see. Also well done on your journey , you've come a long way! 🙏

A resurrection of a channel once unknown. Well done, Can't wait to see how this turns out!
Thank you
This is a very cool project you got going, It's passion projects like this warm my heart to see, as much as I don't like bringing the mood down, messing making any project starring a premium character like a Batman is legally tricky, if an IP holder feels threatened enough they'll serve you a C&D, regardless of Fair-use in play.

good job on the project, keep up the good work!
there's a lot of "thomps" in the audio voice recording, idk why that happens but in a headset it's kinda annoying
Yeah I’m sorry about that I didn’t have a filter at the time of filming this one but I have one now so hopefully it won’t be an issue moving forward.
@@UndefeatedLosersNJ no problem, keep up the good work! :D
UE5 has a free city sample pack you can use either entirely or use the building meshes separately

Keep rolling bro, it would be great if you could share some references from where you learned.
few suggestion
Use AI for 3D modelling
Use mid journey for concept arts
Use neon back lighting in the buildings for moody look
Thanks for the suggestions but I’m honestly not trying to use AI for modeling. I tried it for concept art but I found just using something like Pinterest has helped just as much for me. The neon lighting definitely gonna use though for building the city for sure.
That's how Marvel Spider-Man look like in the development phase. Keep going. Your game has huge potential.

When I imagine the city of batman beyond. I pretty much imagine the city of cyberpunk 2077. Its grim, similar tech level and great look.
Yup, it’s gonna take some time for me to fully flesh out but style is ideally what I envision as well

Wow! congrats and keep it up. It is SO hard but so WORTH. Question though, being self taught, how did you tackle programming and blueprints??

Yeah I actually plan on creating a completely original project after this game using this as a framework so worst case that would just speed up my plan but thanks for the kind words & looking out for me
ya got this bro. looking forward to more.
Thank you 🙏🏽 gonna plan to have part 2 out by end of the month
Looking forward to see the end result
Thanks, working to have PT 2 out soon before end of the month
Looking forward to trying the game !
Soon enough. Planning to have everything ready by end of the year. Will try to does that process up too tho
I NEEEED IT
Soon enough 🙏🏽
YES YES YES

Heck yeah! Batman beyond needs more love. Keep up the good work man. Making games is hard, but you are right on track to make something wonderful. Looking forward to seeing how far you take this. 🦇

Thank you man! Gonna try and have a update before the month ends
You’re so cool, I’m your #1 fan
😍 who am I to be so lucky
Keep up the hustle!
Always & forever
Keep Pushing Brother
Using dynamic flight would be perfect for your flight system! Its easy to intergrate and should have a tutorial. GoodLuck on your project!
Nice! Thanks man I’m gona follow up on that! That would be epic
No pun intended lol
Keep pushing brooo! You can reach out if you run into problems, I am good with blueprints and combat systems. Blessings to you 🙏
Awesome! I’ll take you up on that offer in case I have any issues, thank you so much
How would you advise one to get into photography or start out even? What's a good starting camera? Game looks pretty fire already, by the way.
Honestly, if you have a smart phone I feel like in 2024 it’s a great way to practice without having to invest any money upfront. Practice with that. After that I’d suggest maybe Sony a6700 or lumix s9 for like a professional style camera. Those start at around 1200 though. So if I were starting out now it’d use my smart phone and get phone lenses and see how I do with that before investing in a camera.
Appreciate it, bossman. Seriously, nice one. I was thinking about that myself, but those camera recommendations will be sure to help me too. Thanks! Barakallah feek.
You're getting a Cease and Desist for making a Batman Beyond fan game in Unreal Engine 5 (PT. 1)
Then I switch up the models if need be. Then it’ll be something “inspired” by
@UndefeatedLosersNJ I respect the dedication. It’s like what trixel creative did with their littlebigplanet restitched when it got c&ded, all they did was just change the property and boom, doing things the fans actually want
I just became subscriber 757!
Great video. Love the quality, but hope you fix that mic popping :) Best of luck.
Yeah I gotta get a cover but didn’t have one that fit for this one lol it’ll be fixed next time

Regardless of progress, make consistent uploads on whats going on Devs wise.
As for animating, consider something Into the spiderverse style, not so much because of it's artistic merit (Though it is neat) but because the lower frame rate might be easier to actually animate
I like that idea, I was thinking soiderverse but I found another style that I think will help as well. Maybe a blend of both I was thinking of a painterly filter as well. I think both could bring some uniqueness but also help with optimization
Hell yeah.
Hey dude, I just found your channel. Also a self taught game dev. I'll be following, and if you want any help/advice. Do feel free to ask!
Thank you! I’m struggling with blueprints and figuring out the combat system. What’s the best way to contact you?
take your time, not like they're giving us an actual beyond game🤣
Yo this looks dope af if you can make this game look like the Spider-Man onto the spider verse that'll be dope.
I’m trying to decide between that & another style effect as well. Gonna expound on it in the next devlog
i.m proud of you brother i have a disability vision imparied in my right eye
as a fellow black game developer myself
i have been making platformers will graduate too beat'em ups and shoot'em ups one day
i have gameplay trailers of my games on my channel
one of my games got corrupted and erased from my computer
i would not let that stop me like my disability
also if you need scores and instrumentals
i am also a independent music producer making my own scores and instrumentals

Awesome! Thanks man and thanks for the kind words, keep pushing man I know things are hard but give yourself grace. I was actually thinking of instrumentals and scoring. Not needed immediately but will definitely need later down the line. I’d definitely be open to having you help out with that. Contact me through email or IG in my bio so we can discuss further
@@UndefeatedLosersNJ alright bro keep grinding away
I'm a self-taught gamedev that's been coding for 17 years (since I was 10 years old), and own a small indie game company. If you need help/advice, I'd be happy to lend a hand since I'm a big batman beyond fan.
Honestly I really do need the help lol having issues implementing the attack system. How can I contact you?
@@UndefeatedLosersNJ Do you mind putting a contact email on your TH-cam channel? That'd make it the easiest and I'll shoot you an email. Keep in mind, we roll our own engine so I can't give you specific advice on unreal engine, but I can give code explanations and help you with design decisions for things like an attack system since I've made an action game in the past. I'd post my own email but this is my bullshitting youtube account lmao, you know how it is
@@UndefeatedLosersNJ Hey! I tried to reply to you the day after you wrote this but for some reason it's not appearing here. Can you put a contact email on your TH-cam page? I'll contact you that way. I can't link my email here because this is my personal TH-cam and I try to keep my personal stuff separate from work.
That's a follow
Thanks 🙏🏽
How does WB say no to the beyond animated movie it would have been extremely Peak
Big facts, I’ll never understand it
Waiting on update !
Goodluck with your project, but i am not sure how will you get this past DC/WB, they own the batman franchise even if its a free game, you are bound to face issues, my suggestion would be to use a character design which is just enough to say its not batman, but everyone knows it is. This video caught my attention as i am the designer for the batman desertstorm suit and i was selling my 3d models for years, it was all good until 2020 when they shutdown all the places the model was available.
Yeah I been thinking about this. I figured it’s all a learning experience for me I feel. But if it happens I’ll definitely adjust it. I plan on taking what I’ve learned for this fan game and making a whole original game afterwards but I’ll try & explain that in the next video in this series. Thanks for the heads up
