I immediately turned off the minimap when first starting playing HL, to kind of force myself to learn the layout of the school, and it really paid off. I wanted to take my time with that game so it was a great feeling to find all the different ways to get somewhere. They really did justice to it
it’s actually my favorite engine for game jams too. you get a great input system out of the box, a really fast build and compile time when you stick to blueprints only (which is more than fine for a jam), and great lighting for practically free when turning on lumen, if you care for that.
