Programming

• Uses the Gameplay Ability System to manage stats, damage, and status effects as well as player abilities.
• Inventory Component manages the player’s inventory. The Inventory Widget lists the player’s inventory with item previews and item details.
• Widget Stack Component manages widgets into a stack, allowing players to navigate in and out of game menus easily.
• A Device system that allows certain interactable objects to be turned on or off.
• AI use a mix of Behaviour Trees as well as a simple steering behaviour to navigate around areas.

Art/Animation

• Many models and textures were taken from online sources, and modified with Blender, Paint.net, and Krita when needed (sources are in the game’s credits).
• Added simple animations with Unreal Engine’s sequencer.
• Created the Status Effect icons.

Other

• Almost all of the programming was done in Blueprint. C++ was added to include GAS.
• Source Control (using GitHub) is used to both manage progress and to revert changes.
• Multiple data tables manage the Items used in the game.
• Enemy Data Assets hold the enemy’s stats and abilities (ex. if they can shoot projectiles).
