Hello, Brian A. Merrill here.
I created this site as a place to document my experiences with game development. I have split most content into two main categories: ‘By Day’ and ‘By Night’.
By Day – is content that I have created throughout my career as the Lead FX Artist at Ready at Dawn Studios.
By Night – is in reference to all the content I have created at home while learning UE4.
The ‘By Night’ project started as just a means of learning C++. After months of creating and testing out gameplay with the starter content however, I decided that if I was putting this much time into anything it might as well be my own content. Since then I have vowed to make everything from scratch. Needless to say it has helped push me way past just C++ and forced me to learn a hell of a lot more about UE4. I don’t know where I am going with this project – but you are more than welcome to follow along.
