Notes -
Trundled along with the tutorials. Nothing really interesting so far; got basic first-person controls set up and picked up some odds and ends about Unreal on the way.
I've also switched to the JetBrains Rider IDE instead of Visual Studio, since it came heavily recommended by the tutorials and also went free for non-commercial use very recently. I've tried it in the past, but it didn't leave an impression back then. Presently it seems perfectly adequate. Additionally I have had the idea that I could avoid having to look at seprate .h and .cpp files by simply hiding the .cpp ones, but sadly Rider does not actually offer this functionality.
Other than that, did a lot of worldbuilding writing. Mostly just rehashing older stuff of mine from memory. It'll be a fun exercise to compare what I wrote back when and how I wrote it now and how much my writing abilities have degraded since. I'd guess the new stuff is better structured, but the older one probably contains many more actually interesting ideas. But so far I haven't opened up my archives, so I'll facepalm another day.
