Weekly Report 3 - Phase 1: C++ code upgrade from UE4 to UE5 COMPLETED! (Patreon)

We have finally been able to open the Z-Island project with the UE5 GUI Editor.

And it looks beautiful! I mean, it looks better than the previous version, you can see it here:

Most of the main functionality is working, that's wonderful news, but there are some problems. No video is playing in dialogs and some meshes have changed position. The lights seem to work differently, which means we'll have to redo a lot of them.

Anyway, it feels fine, it hasn't crashed, which is excellent news and it is saving/loading correctly.

Except for the video playback issue, everything is working.

(By the way, this is just a video that we use at development level and is not part of the main game)

Well, there are still many things to do but I can say: the core code + core functionality have been successfully updated to Unreal Engine 5!!

Thanks everyone!!! we will be working on checking the whole game and looking for any possible bugs in this new version.

Glad we tried, I feel like the worst is over.

Phase 1 is done!

Thanks to all!
