Hey crew!
I’ve just dropped a brand-new tutorial on YouTube:
📽️ How to Create Dynamic Footstep Sounds in Unreal Engine (Tutorial)

This one dives into setting up a surface-based footstep system in Unreal Engine 5 using:

  • Sound cues with pitch & randomization

  • Physical materials and trace channels

  • Custom AnimNotifies

  • Blueprint Interfaces to keep it modular

  • And yep, it even works in Blendspaces 👟

🔊 Dirt, gravel, tile—you name it. This system can scale up as far as you want to take it.

👀 Want to go deeper?
Patrons get the devlog breakdowns, monthly asset drops, and early previews of what I’m building next—like the solo survival horror game Part of Him Remains.

Thanks for supporting solo indie devs like me 💛
