Introduction
Sometimes you have these kinds of days…. I had to spend some extra time on the on the UI portion of the tutorial after facing some nuances of Unreal Engine that I’m still learning. However, I was able to push past the issue and am on track to complete the UI portion tomorrow.
Source Control
I’ve also successfully linked my Unreal Engine project with my GitHub account, so from this point forward I will be utilizing source control
Project Management
I’m still exploring project management tools. Initially I thought I’d use GitHub Projects, but after seeing some demos of Trello from other indie game devs I’m considering going that route.
Conclusion
Getting the foundation of my daily routine is important to me. Once I iron out the basics I believe I’ll have more time to focus on actually creating games in Unreal Engine.
One more idea I’d like to explore is doing a weekly DevLog on youtube, but I would like to first spend some time creating a video outline that isn’t overly complicated, so that the videos can be recorded and editing quickly.
That’s it for today. I’m looking forward to Day 8!
