Parallel Prototype

This was a University project that I used to develop my understanding and skills within UnrealEngine.

Goals:

• Create a 2D Platformer where the the player controls two characters at once.
• A range of mechanics supporting this core element of gameplay including special abilities for each character.
• A range of levels that compliment existing mechanics and establish puzzle solving as a core characteristic of the game.

Outcome:

I was able to create a number of levels that include a range of mechanics that compliment the game's design pillars. This was a challenging project overall due to my gap in blueprint knowlege and I feel I learned a lot about bluepring as a whole. I plan to develop this knowlege further in future projects.

Overall I feel the project went exceptionally well as I achieved my goals and developed a greater understanding of unreal engine blueprinting. I was able to provide the gameplay with a number of challenging mechanics and evaluate the project well when it was complete.

I will not be returning to develop this prototype further as I feel it reflects my current ability well. However I may return to the concept, redesigning the game as I learn more about blueprinting in the future.

If you'd like to read more about my goals, process and evaluation of the project I have uploaded the Process Journal that details the entire project.

Controls:

WASD to move

Q to use special ability

Space to jump

R to restart current level
