This is my final project for the games development course at the developer academy, I made this game in collaboration with two other developers, Stuart and Rodney.

​

We decided early on to create a first-person shooter game based upon Halo and Titanfall for our 6-week project, the original plan consisted of multiple weapons, vehicles, wall running, 3 full levels, and scoring system, medals and a mission complete system however the course tutor Vincent helped us scale this down a bit.

We spent our first week planning out what features we all wanted to have, the genre and gathered up all the assets we were going to be using to create the game, this proved very useful for keeping us focused on what features needed to get added and which could be put off for later.

​

We used the remaining 5 weeks developing the game, I primarily worked on the weapons, creating the mechanics for hit scan and projectile firing along with a weapon bloom, burst/auto fire modes and a pellet system for the shotgun. This was first created in blueprint as I find it faster to get the function as need with the simple search system but later moved a lot to C++ as it was turning into spaghetti. Here’s an image of the blueprint before and after:

I also worked on the basic AI mechanics that were later improved upon by Stuart, this consisted of getting enemies to follow a patrol route, having them investigate sounds and punch the player, dealing damage.

​

This project was very educational as I learned how to use animations, create blueprint interfaces for classes and better management of Game state, game mode and player state classes by creating a parent blueprint and having every developer use a child of it so we all had our own space to work on functions without needing to risk overriding anyone’s work.

Some Models and animations got online, code is entirely written by the three project members.
