- I'm making a game based off of my favorite survival games like Minecraft, Ark, Valheim, and Terraria in a style similar to Tears Of The Kingdom using Unreal Engine 5. This is my first video showing my process of development on the game.

This is very impressive for a single developer. You clearly have figured out how to use the tools at your disposal.
Definitely not what I was expecting out of a very small content creator, but your skills as a dev and youtuber are amazing. I hope the youtube algorithm blesses you and you keep on producing amazing content. Can't wait for the update, and thank you!
Thanks man I appreciate it. I'll do what I can to keep up the content.
Excuse me but why is this so underrated it should have at least half a million views
Im speechless so good for a solo dev probably better then most aaa game's now day
This video was really well made. Looking forward to the next progress update!
This game has a lot of potential and I think that the creation process can be really enjoyable to follow. Can't wait to see more !
Your minecraft game looks really cool. It caught my eye, anytime a clip of it was shown.
i see so much potential in this.
cant wait for the next video
your progress is extremely inspiring and impressive, great job
this is such a gret video you made this alone amazing job
That was very inspiring to watch! Looking forward to your next video!
dude this is amazing, looking forwards to what you can make!
Really impressed by the look of your world, can't wait to see the updates.
love it you got a new subscriber
also my love of totk is whats leading me to make a totk inspired rougelite
This was really great to watch and inspiring:) keep it up bro!
This is awesome. Just make sure not to get burned out.
Dear lord. This video is a masterclass man.
Looks Great!
gonna be goty
That looks really good.Keep it up!❤
Really looking forward to see where you're going with this! I subscribed!
Very underrated 🙇🏽 can't wait to see more from you, I'm actually looking into making my own survival game.
Very nice! Looking forward to watching your future videos
wow, thats VERY impressive. Congratulations bro, def gonna keep checking this out
This is awesome! I love how you structure you videos and show everything so flawlessly. Giving insight in how you accomplished it and making it look so amazingly beautiful while not overcomplicating each step and not going overboard on how everything was made.
Great video!! I love your explanation of details. Your world is looking great so far!!
I don't know if I love the rocks in the grassy area, but they look perfect in the desert. Otherwise this looks incredible
Ya I think so too. This is all prototype stuff tho so I'll definitely make it look better later on.
Keep it up man :)
Incredibly informative. I will be studying this video for my own projects and Im following for more progress
So cool, can't wait to try it out!
Looks amazing, keep it up !
Super exciting stuff man!!! Cool video! Can't wait for an update!
This is super impressive, I love it!!
👏Freak'n rad! Massive props for not only what you've built, but being generous enough to take us all on a ride through your dev process. You've got a new sub and will be looking forward to your development. 👊🤙
damn, this was amazing and gave me a lot of insight for my own game, just great work, love to see it!!
damn bro, this is insane
cool video
Ready for part 2
CANT WAIT FOR YOUR GAME!!
this is really cool! i love the art style of botw and i love playing minecraft and terraria (also botw/totk of course) so this is really cool to watch. good work!
I cant wait for more
This is 🔥🔥
Very impressive, you definitely know your stuff
That already looks fairly incredible!
Can I ask you, and everyone who feels like answering, for a tip?
I would like to start developing games just for fun, and I really can't decide if going for unreal or unity.
I like how unity looks and it kinda feels more familiar, but I'm fascinated by blueprints (even though all the things like actors and such don't feel familiar at all) and intrigued by the potential of unreal (which I may never be able to use at full power though).
I have little coding exp, definetly zero skills in modelling (so I think unreal could fall off since my models wouldn't be that good) and I would like to go for a project like yours: a 3D open world action rpg with as many things as possible (enemies with different behaviours, day-night cycle, procedural generated terrain, underwater-air exploration, underground dungeons and so on).
I have no deadlines and I just really want to learn one engine and stick with it (at least for some time).
I'm sorry to bother anyone here but I felt like this was a good place to ask for help and I'm very lost on my choice. I know I should try them both (I only did microscopic projects in unity 2D) and I probably will, but I would like to go already convinced on one and go full immersion for experimentation and fun.
Thanks in advance if you decided to answer
Unless you are making a 2d game or you absolutely NEED toon shading for a project you should probably use unreal especially since it is more beginner friendly from my experience. If you don't know how to do something just look it up online you can usually find what you need on UA-cam or google to learn. You will waste more time trying to get around not knowing how to do something than you will just learning it.
this is awesome, i hope my game engine can do shit like this some day
very impressive
very impressive it seems almost like u know exactly what and how to do it.
man this looks amazing, and i love the style that the game is shaping up to be! i also loved the clips of your mc style game u showed, is there anywhere we can see more of that? :D
Thanks I appreciate it. If you want to see my old videos about the mc style you can go to my tik tok @phoenixbaker
Damm, definitely would be interested in a more in-depth version of it, and follow ups
What a wizard
Keep goin
Woah, amazing work. Although I'm confused about the terrain generation. I thought that you cannot edit landscape at runtime, or are you using a procedural mesh component?
Ya I’m using a procedural mesh component for each terrain chunk.
@@phoenixbaker4984 Thanks for the fast response! I'm also making my own terrain using PMC. One last question, but are you generating PMC on a background thread or game thread? Thanks!
I don't know much about different threads yet since this system is still pretty early and doesn't have very good optimization yet. For me I'm just adding new mesh sections in a c++ actor so whatever unreal does by default is what I'm doing.@@aprivatechannel1152
@@phoenixbaker4984 Thanks alot for the information! Love that terrain
Feed the algorithm
O brasil também está de olho em você irmão, espero que consiga crescer e estou ansioso pra jogar seu jogo, está lindamente lindo, faça mais video de como está ficando.
Você tem Discord para compartilhar conosco?
Thanks I appreciate it and I am still working on it. I do not have a discord server right now.
It looks amazing will be interesting to see where the game goes. Also off topic but what modpacks would you recommend for minecraft getting a better pc so will be able to run some.
Thanks. Try Survival Unchained, RL Craft, and BigChadGuys Plus. They are all good.
@@phoenixbaker4984 alright will try some thanks
whoa ure terrain system design is dope u got any links i could refer to get a similar one up and running or any plans to make a yt tutorial abt it pls
Also more devlogs xD nice to learn smtg new daily
There was a lot of different places that I learned from, but this video is pretty close to what I made to help you get an idea of what I did ua-cam.com/video/5zlfJW2VGLM/v-deo.html not sure I can make a tutorial though since I'm focusing on the game and devlogs right now. The main idea though is that I create layers of 4x4 chunk areas getting smaller around the player by first creating templates for where the chunks should go then checking if they are in the same place as the currently rendered chunks then all of the rendered chunks that don't match, I move to where the templates that don't match are and regenerate the mesh there. I also have a material that sinks the terrain based on custom primitive data for each chunk so that you can't see the larger chunks overlapping the smaller ones.
how are you pulling the biome data out of the material for grass and tree placement if it's calculated on the GPU?
I use perlin noise in c++ to get the biome value at any given point and use that to place grass and for the vertex color on the mesh then the terrain material uses that for the biomes.
Do you plan on writing a custom stylized shader? The games you're inspired by have a very distinct visual look so I'd love to see your take
Well unreal engine doesn't support anything really custom out of the box from what i can tell so im just using the base shading types in the unreal material editor.
How the hell did you pull of the infinite terrain stuff :2 ?? Would you sell your code ?
is the project at 1:00 one of yours? if so, can you post more of it?
It is but I'm not working with that style anymore if you want to see more you can check my old videos @PhoenixBaker on tik tok
I wish I could make this
This is incredible looking! I would love to make you some piano or any other kind of music if you are interested? :) for free of course
why dont you use megascans so that is more realistic?
Make aĺl your fav games in one game
I love that you keep saying " ...and then I just... " as if what you're doing isn't very impressive. 😅
Do you work in the computer science field?
Not as an actual job I just work on the game in my free time.
That's surprising! Looking forward to seeing what you make! @@phoenixbaker4984
@@phoenixbaker4984 Would it be harder to make something like this in UE4? bc im hesitant to upgrade to 5 😅 but 5's ui and interface alone is so much nicer
I'm pretty sure everything I did here can be done in ue4 but I prefer ue5 because it has all of the new features@@repingers9777
Pin📍🤔 for when this blow up🤗
ew
cool video
