Log 00: Guess I'll Make a Dev Log

I'm going to be upfront and say that I have no idea how to blog, but here we go:

I've been working on a "small" scale action game reminiscent of the Warriors genre of games (Dynasty Warriors, Hyrule Warriors, etc.), but themed around a Sentai team I made up. It was never meant to be a commercial game, just a passion project that maybe I would put up on Steam for free when it was done and see how it did.

I had been building it in Unity: I had animation packs, model asset packs, sound packs, even a pre-packaged character controller (Opsive Ultimate Character Controller) that I was modifying as needed.

...

And then Unity decided it wanted to implode and destroy all the trust developers had in them and burn all their good will.

So I decided to move the project over to Unreal, since I always wanted more practice with the engine and this seemed as good a time as any. I've been working on it for a little over a week and then it struck me that I should really use this as a part of my portfolio somehow. So here we are: I'm going to log my progress and setbacks and all the good stuff as I work on this passion project in my limited spare time.

No idea how often I'll post, probably at the beginning of the week and go over what I did during the previous week and over the weekend.
