Hello, world! :v

Hello, internet buddies! Agent Ottsel here (a.k.a. Renan, if you’ve met me offline)!

Welcome to my game development blog! I’m interested in all fields of game creation – concept art, 3D modeling, animation, game design, music, and of course, coding, which is my specialty! In fact, I’m a game programmer not only at work, but also at home.

240 days ago, I started a habit of getting something done in Unreal Engine 4 every day. I had already used Unreal before and been a fan of the engine for a very long time, but I was tired of not having enough free time for my projects and decided to MAKE my own free time instead.

The time I spend in Unreal is usually split between learning new things and experimenting with game mechanics, whether it’s taking an existing game mechanic and adding my own twist to it, like a 3D version of Bash from Ori and the Blind Forest, or something brand new, like a car with two steering wheels (one for each axle), that you control by rotating the analog sticks like actual steering wheels.

I will use this blog to showcase my creations as I work on them, while also giving insights on how certain things work and the solutions I came up with. I hope that you will find my posts entertaining and fun!

PS: I really like puns, so I apologize in advance. :v
