@stux cease and desist incoming!

Pretty cool also

Every building on the entire island can be entered and has interior

Soon ill add NPC's, crowds and destructable vehicles

If you wanna beat up Elon Musk or Donald Trump, you can do so now on the island of Amurica!

*the game is super duper mega alpha

Only got the basics down, still got a load to add but you can play around if you like!

Only Windows for now:

@stux Would there be a lot of effort to add Jesus as a playable character?

@stux For someone who has no experience with game development, how long would it take for someone (with extensive back-end programming experience) to go from zero to a simple walk-through in a world with some level of definition like this (trees, grass, buildings, etc.)? And where should I start?

@ramsey Unreal basically does all heavily lifting, since you have the logics behind it you mostly need to get to know the engine and how it all relates

It's about 1 or 2 years since i first booted UE, I would suggest starting with some simple world design to get to know the editor

Smart Poly and GorkaGames on YT do have good tutorials to get started with

@mrcopilot @ramsey @stux if you are looking to see results right away, you can go with a tool like Game Guru MAX or Coppercube and have something within a few days.

Otherwise, its pretty impossible to answer depending on your learning capabilities, and how deep you are going into each facet. If for example you want to learn how to also create those trees/buildings, etc, that's a whole new set of topics to learn.

@GameFromScratch @mrcopilot I have a feeling @ramsey has some programming skills

Gamedev gets complicated real fast if you want a lot, start small and build up over time

I'm about a year or two in and still overwhelmed by the engine

@stux @GameFromScratch @mrcopilot As long as it uses a C-style programming language, I should be good.

@ramsey @stux @GameFromScratch I'm a #Godot guy who misses the BlenderGameEngine, but any thing that is attractive to your dev style is fine. Tuts abound for unreal unity & Godot. All support external languages & their own scripting.

Unity & Unreal have vast libraries of assets and scripts that drop in pretty quick. But games are software and the difficulty curve scales rapidly the closer your get to the end.

Advice: jump in feet first in a couple & develop simplest game possible, then choose

@ramsey @stux @GameFromScratch Stuff like this helps.
