This was a really fun vehicle to make! Loved making the rig and had tons of fun just playing around with it and recording for it! I'm going to try using a dedicated account for Sacrilege and see how it goes. If you are interested in Sacrileges content make sure to follow @playsacrilege.bsky.social!

Sacrilege had problems with explosions being pretty inconsistent--Going through walls (bad LOS), not affecting things right next to the explosion, weird physics, and more. That's all been fixed! www.playsacrilege.com #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5

Just learned what opengraph is. Basically its web tags that determine how your link appears when posted on Social Media. I added those tags for Sacrilege and I think it looks a ton better! www.playsacrilege.com #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5

Have they become too self-aware? I wonder what they are thinking... 🤔 #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5

I definitely feel like this "gibbable parts" system is going to be a headache to setup and is going to take some thinking, but im starting to get somewhere I think? #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5

Hornets (for now) have taken on the role of personally delivering you your bought vehicles! Don't forget to give them a rating! Download: www.playsacrilege.com #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5

Work has started on the Banshee! Download: www.playsacrilege.com #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5

I love pigeons

I think I'm finally understanding quaternions, which has made things like physics-flying vehicles possible for me. The Hornets are much more stable, anddd I worked on the AI for it! Download: www.playsacrilege.com #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5

Here's some gameplay of the Hornet in action! There's still some critical bugs, but its been a ton of fun programming this one! Download: www.playsacrilege.com #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5

A familiar flying vehicle makes a return--The Hornet. Definitely feeling invigorated to fix some critical flying bugs after implementing this! Download: www.playsacrilege.com #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5

What are your favorite vehicles throughout Halo? What do you think would be a cool addition for me to add? This is what currently exists in Sacrilege - Mongoose - Gatling Turret - Gauss Turret - Warthog (And turret variants) - Transport Warthog - Scorpion - Ghost - Spectre - Wraith #Halo #gamedev

Do any other game devs just routinely feel lost in the job field? Have a degree, experience programming in game engines... but most places hiring want professional experience. Super confusing, just sending out tons of applications and just hearing nothing. Looking for advice! #gamedev

This weekend for Sacrilege, my Halo fan game, I created and implemented SO. MANY. first person animations (draw, holster, melee), and I implemented the energy sword and gravity hammer! Download: www.playsacrilege.com #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5

I started work for an Energy Sword plus some animations/poses for Elites for different hold types! (idk whats going on in the background.) Download: www.playsacrilege.com #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5

This past weekend, I tackled how I was gonna implement Passenger Seats and its AI in Sacrilege. It's a little jank BTS, buut it works! I even made the Troop Warthog variant to showcase! Download: www.playsacrilege.com #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5

Forgot to ask, but if any of you have any free sound library recommendations, I'm all ears (especially like sci fi or things that fit the objects in this clip)! My Hard drive died alongside my built-up collection of free sound libraries 😢 #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #UnrealEngine #UE5

Made some classic level scripting elements to play around with, and for players to utilize. Triggers that activate spawns, buttons that activate conveyors, elevators, etc! Dynamic! Download: www.playsacrilege.com #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5

Updated all my various shield VFX for shields in Sacrilege to provide cleaner visual feedback. Looks much nicer than before! Download (free): www.playsacrilege.com #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5

I added more SFX and VFX to wheeled vehicles which includes Tire smoke, Tire SFX, Headlights, working brakelights, and more! I also adjusted the AI to make them a little better. Download (free): www.playsacrilege.com #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5

My flamethrower was pretty disappointing, so I took some time to redo everything for it, including a half-baked blockout model, SFX, VFX, code, and more! Here's a short video! Download (free): www.playsacrilege.com #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5

One really small thing I did yesterday was add hitbox-based damage multipliers, and adding physic reactions to headshots akin to Halo 2. Much more satisfying to score headshots. Download (free): www.playsacrilege.com #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5

Sacrilege v13.0.0 has released! In it you can find many changes, including equipment like Bubble shields, Regenerators, etc, and features such as the new PhotoMode! Sacrilege also has a new home! www.playsacrilege.com #Halo #Sacrilege #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5

Halo is a pretty good candidate for a gravity gun, don't you think? I implemented one in @playsacrilege.bsky.social so you try! Available in the latest build!: github.com/SgtFlex/Sacr... #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5

Nothing says Halo like really dangerous environmental objects that can either be used for or against you, right? Part of the latest release for download! github.com/SgtFlex/Sacr... #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5

Improved the Elites dodge functionality. They dodge everything thats a "Danger", such as fast vehicles, grenades, etc Also a reminder that this is all currently playable! github.com/SgtFlex/Sacr... #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5 #blender #3dart

Remodeled and Textured my "Trip Mine" for #Sacrilege @playsacrilege.bsky.social #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5 #blender #3dart

Remodeled and Textured my health pack for #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5 #blender #3dart

Hey folks! It's time! I'm making the game that I've been working on for the past 3 years in UE5 playable to everyone for FREE! @playsacrilege.bsky.social will be the official account, but I will continue to post dev stuff on @sgtflex.bsky.social

definitely gonna be more goofy moments with these new physics at play. #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5

Making things a more reactive to physics forces (even more chaos!). Characters get launched by strong forces, and vehicles can get launched too. Next up is to affect projectiles too! #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5

Textured up the Fusion Coil! #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5 #3D #Blender

Fixed some major crashes and optimized a lot of things. Things are shaping up! To celebrate, here's an older unfinished demo reel. Let me know what you think! www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TiD... #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5

Refactored my grenade system and HUD. Made an editor tool that allows me to take screenshots and make icons really quickly, which helped to flesh out the UI a lot. (Shameful repost due to outage right as I posted) #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5

Refactored my grenade system and HUD (much more stable+readable!), made some grenade models. Made an editor tool that allows me to take screenshots and make icons really quickly, which helped to flesh out the UI a lot. #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5

I will make as many ground vehicles as I can so I can put off learning quaternions for air vehicles. So here's an early Scorpion. #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5

Worked a bit on making my main menu better and worked on the logo. (Halo 3 music falls under Microsoft's GCUR and is available for non-profit use I found out the other day). Feedback of menu and logo appreciated. #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5 #UI

Lots of accidental teamkilling, my AI are not the brightest yet #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5

I LOVE JIGGLE PHYSICS. I really wanted my Warthog to feel a bit more lively, so I added some bouncing/moving parts. Using 1 bone each which doesn't look as good as it can be but keeps performance costs low. #Blender #B3D #UnrealEngine5 #UE5 #gamedev #Sacrilege #Halo #indiedev #rigging

Initial blockout to a Spectre design. Was really struggling with covenant vehicles but starting to get a better handle on it. #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #Blender #3D #B3D

doing a lot of optimizations, fixes, and small stuff so not much to share at this current moment but sometimes I get goofy moments during my testing and I can't help but share. #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5

One of my closest friends recently debuted their game "The Null Doctrine" on Steam Next Fest. Turn-based game with the ability to rewind. Wishlists and plays are highly appreciated! www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeRA... store.steampowered.com/app/3442250/... #indiedev #godot #gamedev #games #gaming

Started a basic Warthog model and couldn't resist making giving my AI the ability to drive wheeled Chaos vehicles. I think the Grunts are having a little too much fun with it but are also terrible drivers 😂 #Sacrilege #Halo #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #games #UnrealEngine #indiegame #UE5

A showcase of a Flood Carrier for Sacrilege, a Halo fan game in UE5. Character made in Blender. #Sacrilege #Halo #UnrealEngine #UE5 #Blender #b3d #3D #indiedev #indiegaming #gamedev

Looks rad!
