1 hour in and I have been able to start UE5 with the point n click template and added some assets that I'm thinking of using as humans in the game.

I struggled a bit with just trying to understand blueprints but I was finally able to create actors that follow the player. I'm not sure about how efficient it is to use UEs AIControllers “Move to” function. Tried spawning 50 pawns that follow the player.

I have also been trying to find a good way of creating gifs of the progress and so far my workflow consists of recording my screen, cutting that recording into a short clip, and finally using adobe express to convert that clip to a gif.
I'll see if I can find a way that involves fewer steps.

I will also try to stylistically go for more of a tilt-shift look to the game where you control miniatures running around. Similar to the Love Death & Robots episode Night of the mini dead. It would be awesome to be able to pull that off but I know that it wont be easy.

Not sure how this blogging thing works but I'm figuring it out as we go.
