Mom, I’m on the Epik Peg Board!
Glad I could help. Punch A Bunch is looking great!
wow congrats
Epik pegboa
Congrats
Congratulations
Just a thought buddy. Will having the discord reduced your TH-cam comments? will that effect your ratings?
@@bishop999 Yes so please make sure to comment on my videos 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You should add an audience around the ring! It would make the game feel more intense
Make them go insane when epik shit happens, and boo/throw stuff into the ring when the fight is getting boring. Throw in obstacles or something to mix up gameplay
Like the eggs in rocket league? That type of style would fit really well.
Yeah like yellow blobs with faces! (:D)
yesssss
This got added
I died when you took your wife's picture and replaced it with that guy's TH-cam icon LOL
lol

Please Make a Emote system, like the Player raising both of thier arms when winning or something.
Getting excited and celebrating over a shoulder being raised is an absolute mood that I don't think I can ever really describe to people
6:01 I genuinely thought you have a random person a Bubble tea thing but then I realise ima stupid
hahah 😎
Same
I’ve been waiting for this all weeks let’s go
I MUST FIND A WAY TO GET UP ON THE “EPIK PEGBOA”
When you finally fixed your mistake, I was just like: "Hey that's what happens to me everyday with Unreal Engine!" I swear, the unreal engine problems always have the tiniest solution...
Anyone else chuckle at him showing the logo at 0:25, just to blur it in the next clip? lol
Lol!!!! I didn't even notice I did that hahahahaah!!! Epik Pegboa for you!!!!!
@@Pontypants YAY 😭😭 Thank you 😂❤❤. I can't wait for the game!!
Can't wait to see who's gonna be next on the epik pegboa XD (but honestly, great vid)
Supposedly me LOL
i think its gonna be you bigboy biggins
@@notsquarezum2858 XD
Love how popular the epic pegboard is 😅 17.5k subs for a new Chanel. Doing something right bro 👍
OMG ITS HERE! THIS IT TRULY EPIK
This is the first time I’ve ever seen a video say “no views”
then youve never seen a young childs youtube dreams be crushed
If you wanna see that again turn on notifications, EPIK advertising
It's really nice to see people fix things that are mostly functional instead of giving into the buy a new one mentality, I just love it.
Your one of the most entertaining Game devs I've seen! I stopped my game dev journey since code scares me and I've recently got more involved again coz if this series! Keep p the good work man!
Your game-making journey is so freaking inspiring to me. I can't wait to see the finished product in all of its glory
I think what is so appealing about this game is that with the right mechanics this could be an easy to play/difficult to master type of game. Anyone could jump in without any experience and enjoy the feeling of playing it, but you could really spend time to get really good at it. This has huge competitive potential :D
Thanks for doing these. They're really inspiring and entertaining even though I'm not really into game dev (barely games for that matter) myself.
The part where you tried to make the cables work was funny as hell
Heheh thanks for watching ^.^ Glad you like my videos :D
You should totally make a VR version of this. Would be the funnest game ever
The people that just came to this series are lucky because they got a lot of good content to watch, we are also lucky because you release new videos every 1-2 weeks :). That is fast for such good editing
Haha THANK YOU! It. Takes. Time. - many others are complaining cause they want me to make them faster lol
I left this comment so that youtube recommends your vids to more people.
You're doing hardwork !!
Thank you, I really appreciate that 🤩 🥳
You and Randall are probably the only devlogs i watch. Noice work as always
Thanks Morgan. Very cool👍👍👍👍
Funny commentary, also no fricking ads! good video
Awesome Progress , Awesome Devlog ! JUST AWESOME !
You should make it so the game keeps track of what arm you use most and as you use it more and more, the boxer starts leading with that side like a normal boxer would.
That's an interesting idea! :)
I did basically the exact same misstake and I remember watching this video about this issue. Coming back here and I got a glimps on how you solved it with the Roll tool! Thank you sir!
I really like the way you have to move the left stick to change the move the boxer does! It reminds me of skate 3’s trick controls. Very nice 👍🏻
1:40.....me when i made first donut in blender
"There's no way you'll be able to understand this shit. I just followed the tutorial blindly" LMAO I can relate my dude.
You have such energy! It's great to watch! Very inspiring as always :)
Heheh thanks so much ^.^ Glad you are enjoying my vids :D
I found your channel few weeks ago and it’s so good. You deserve more subscribers than you have
This are all needed when u have done with basic setting of game
1)physics to opponent a bit more u know a fall
2)AI in opponent really necessary I known u already know that
3) background noises , audiences ,scores , timeout , defeat, winner,
4)jumping and hitting , hitting while the opponent is on u while ur down
5)shiffting of camera on the side when u knock out the opponent with ur last move and slow motion effect to the punch
6)when u have a critical hit on ur opponent a dhishhhh sound with slow motion like vibration u know and hence the opponent falls down
7)and also some stylish moves u know block the opponent by turning around and hitting it that would give a taste to game , and I think so u can add here a critical hit
8) I thought of giving advice on kicking but the legs are too short 😂 and u don't want to make it long it would look ugly but still u can include kicking with proper effect u know when the character is flying and so on
Good luck with this things
Boxing gloves standing up with punch a bunch attached to it like a keychain of sorts
When he said “what’s up NOOBS” I felt that
The good thing about the boxing ring is that when you release the game is that if someone wants to advertise on your game they can just like they in the real world and you can put it in the ring. Your a smart man your a vey smart man
No YOU are a smart man lol! I hadn’t even thought of that!!
Well I’m glad I can help out and I hope you have a good week
I was waiting for a new one, they are awesome!
Man you're the only unreal dev I can actually watch, most others are people that dont talk or have bad quality content, yours is literally on a new level
Add attack bubbles like "pow boom kapow"
This devlog was great as always!
Really excited for the bouncy ropes! I also love your reasoning behind the logo!
Keep up the good work! :D
I’ve been waiting for this episode for so long
The rig problem got solved!!!,YASSSSSSSSSS!! great news, love the LOGO and ring tweaks, great ideas!! keep up the awesome work!! so inspiring, specially for solo Dev's, love the Vlogs and content! I use Blender and UE4 for my game journey also, maybe one day ill post some of it :)
The hatters are EPIKaly expecting you to fail but, you suceeded, what a strong and hopeful game dev...
This man just bought two drinks and then gave one away. Saint 👏🏻

God I Thank You So Much For Making These Devlogs, You Really Make My Day.
Can't wait for the discord, and I'm glad that you solved the rigging problem

**HANDS IT OVER TO RANDOM STRANGER**
This inspired me to fix a game breaking glitch I had, and I fixed it! Thank you so much!
I'm kinda late 😬
Wow just wow, the editing is so good. I am seriously loving this, from the coco place thing to the lens fixing and the actual devlog, I am smiling the whole way through. I guess this is my early bday gift (in 2 days I cant wait). I think the punch in the logo needs to be moved up a bit because even though its readable and obvious what the word is, I just think it will look better if it's a bit more clear. And also you have had this channel for 2 years and in the time span of 1 month you have gained half the amount of subs that took you 2 years to gain, congratulations on 15k, big Klaps very Epik. Cany wait for the discord
Thank you so much ^.^ Happy you enjoyed the video :D And happy Birthday!! (in two days ;) )!
Ahh man, watching you make me really REALLY want to make my own game. The video is so good can't wait for the next vid
You could use your upperbody movement detection system to add sidestepping into the game. Rotate in the direction you want to go, press a button, and your character performs a little dash. It could be used in combination with a punch to get more range or it could be used to dodge punches aswell.
Although, it looks a bit sensitive with the joysticks, you could add 8 snapping points so the direction you want to go is consistent.
Hey I'm from the island! Thanks for stopping by
Lovely place :)
I have an interesting suggestion for the game that i thought up of while i was binged this series(just found your channel and loving the game and the videos so far.)
So, I think an interesting addition to the game would be a sort of training system for your character. The way I envision it is you could have the player start the game as a weak fighter and overtime get stronger and stronger. The way I was thinking you'd want to go about this would be both gaining strength during matches and/or gaining strength by training at a gym (punching bag, sparring matches, etc.). Maybe in this way you could also get your stamina up which would allow you to do more moves in faster period of time. Another idea for a system like this would be that if you only participated in matches without going to a gym you'd lose strength and stamina. I feel a system like this could add an extra layer to the game and make it a bit more challenging. As a hopeful GameDev myself I hope to see more of your content in the future!
Old camera lens: same
New camer lens: same
Still me: ~Crisp~
You can use the face buttons or the d-pad to cycle through left foot forward, neutral, and right foot forward... or have a 1 to 1 mapping, like dpad left = traditional, up = neutral, right = south paw.
It looks like everything took too many
Double Cherries 🤣
FINALLY this is really good content
Finally! Keep up the good work
Wow. Good for you man! Love your series and you are a TH-camr who creates great content!! Thank you so much for contributing to the game dev community!
You inspire me to do a dev log for Dwerve!
I am very glad you were able to fix the issue! This game has a lot of promise so I am very excited for it! Also for your hand strength building, would you make it so say the player is right hand focused, if they started to prioritise using their left hand more, would their left hand be able to become equal to their right? (If that makes sense) I think you need a way to balance it so only one hand can become the players primary hand
This game is so similar to a steam game named Drunken Wrestlers 2. You should check it out for some inspiration and comparison. It uses the directional punching (and kicking) system that is implemented well.
9:12 a very creative segway
Punch out for NES was such an epic game from my childhood. Feels like this will be the modern PunchOut. Can’t wait to play a demo. Lets go!!
I would suggest making the ring designs as decals.. That way the ring designs can be modified in-game and be modular! Awesome devlog as always!
Great content as usual mate. The logo reminds me a lot of in n out however
5:49 i had some of that boba in calgary! Its delicious
Adding on to the character customization idea, you should have a option to buy a pet that would stand on the side and sort of be your sidekick and cheer when you land a punch or something. Just an idea for a fun cosmetic.
Good idea!
Woooooo it's always nice when things work out :D
you are one of the most under-rated youtubers
How does this have 17 likes but 11 views? Nice vid btw :D
I've rebuilt my game 3 times in 3 years and it's finally starting to sell on Steam. Don't give up!!
I think a health system should be implemented so that every punch has it's own strength and make the hardest punch to pull off be the strongest, also have a sprinting mechanism so that players can actually start playing right away rather then waiting for the characters to reach each other, make a taunt emote so that players can be competitive, make a sound effect when a punch do a lot of damage such as an audience gasping or saying ooh!, add a sleeping position that takes 2 sec to get to the ground and 2 sec to be back in action so that players who are too confident use it.
I got more but I don't want to make development so hard, maybe on future episodes I'll give more ideas.
you just earned a new sub my dude this dev log has added my motivation to finish my first ever indie game keep up the good work!
That's the spirit! ;) Glad you got some motivation! And welcome :D
@@Pontypants Thank you your game is looking good btw
I can't believe how far you've come in the game design process and didn't know this...
Ha ha I love this! Glad you can continue making the game.
VANCOUVERITES DON"T GIVE UP
I could watch a two hour version of these devlogs! They are so entertaining and full of happiness. Keep it up!
Thank you!! :D So glad you are enjoying my vids ^.^
Phew, I'm so glad you were able to save everything!
Glad you managed to fix the rig. Well done Morgan for giving Ponty the steps.
Great devlog, glad to hear you don't have to restart ^^
Yeah another part is out. School classes bunk OP
I can't wait to play
You should add GYM. Where players could offline go and train their character. They start small and grow up bigger if they play a lot. You got the idea. Shouls be pretty interesting.
Thank you so much for these videos really entertaining!!
Maybe in the future, if you ever add stands with spectators, you should make it so that there are sponsor banners with fictional brands, like in real life with real brands, and one of them should be Unreal as a nod to the engine. That would be pretty cool.
Good Hitboxes - Physics - Multiplayer
This is the evil triangle. You can't pick more than 2.
Its impossible to guarantee that 2 seperate machines will always get the exact same physics outcome when things happen 50 milliseconds apart from each other (Ping).
I punch you and barely hit you - my pc calculates the impact
your pc gets notified that I punched, but because of ping, your character already moved half an inch further and I miss.
Now on both machines the same character does different things.
Of course this can be corrected and synchronized back and fourth all the time but this will kill the exact hitboxes.
UE4 doesnt have a groundbreaking physics system in general. Its not built for countering that evil triangle. It allows for quite a big margin of error in calculations in order to guarantee stable performance. It doesn't want to be perfect and thus it wont recreate exactly the same thing in exactly the same way on 2 different machines. --> unreliable hitboxes again.
I honestly think you should get at least a broad overview of the bigger steps ahead.
If you cannot sort out this problem, your whole series could be heading towards a wall right now. So I thought I confront you with it as soon as possible.
Ask experienced people in discord about their opinion on how to tackle this. I hope you can come up with a solution with helps of discord and such.
Another amazing video! you always make my day! Helps keep me focused on my project!
also looking forward to that discord
THANK GOD I was worried when I didn't get a notification for a new video in a while, Love your videos bro 😄
4:23 okay, I'm not a game developer, just have an idea. Have the boxer slowly shift posture in favor of dominant hand. Maybe you could track the player's preferred hand by how frequent he uses either of the arm. I say 'slowly' because maybe as the frequency increases, the boxer also slowly shifts his posture until it reaches max value where the boxer looks the best with the proper posture.
Also, it can also change if the player decides to use the other arm and change his style, maybe have it on the negative value.
Legend
This is so nice to watch!
Glad you like it ^.^
The floor of the ring should be a fairly muted color, like it's value should be pretty low (could still be pretty saturated). That way the if the value's of the characters are high (which they are at the moment) they stand out more and it makes it easier to read. Keep on chugging!
If health is going to be used, specifically similar to zelda, maybe the "heart" UI could be a glove in your characters outfit colour.
You should keep a hidden like fill meter or do bar where it keeps track of which arm you use most, and over time as the bar fills up more and more you lean to the side of the arm. Getting rid of clunky poses! Thanks and have a good day.
This is awesome! I’m super hyped for punch a bunch and can’t wait for it to come out! Best of luck!
So friggin' cool. Love those ragdoll dynamics! Damn it. Now I wanna start making games too... :D
*YAY YOU'RE BACK!* and you *Fixed the game!*
CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY THIS GAME.
Also why am I addicted to this series?
