I got stuck on making the “boss” spawner thing so I decided to think more about what’s defending this boss area rather than the spawner itself. So I came up with this:

Which is just kinda a stick with a gun ontop….that being said I kinda dig it. I’m going to put some more time into this model and probably use a placeholder cube to get a simple level setup using the new game mode.

Honestly this might be one of the cleanest looking things I’ve ever made.

The thing I did this time around when modeling was to break apart models when I didn’t like the way the smoothing looked, not sure how that will translate to UE5 but I’m happy with the flat shading of this guy.

From a gameplay perspective I think I’ll have this thing shoot plasma or something that way I don’t have to have a loader mechanism for rockets (which I want to say is a pet peeve of mine but this). Which is why there’s little wires above the two tubes:

And the rear side looks like some kinda battery pack.
