How many robots will you disable??

You have landed to investigate a suspected rocket launch site. Its a trap! Now you must fight to survive and disable as many robots as you can!

This project started out to learn Unreal Engine Blueprints. My game experience has been on the art side and I wanted to program my own game without learning a coding language. This game evolved into a small space shooter with some nostalgic toys. There is only one level. This is because I wanted to focus more on the polishing of the entire game in a short period of time. In doing so I learned a lot about how Unreal works. Took me about 3.5 months, lots of Youtube tutorials, Google searches and a little (sarcasm) help debugging/fixing with Vandervas Generator. Still lots to learn but Unreal is really amazing.

Programs Used

Unreal Engine 4 - Blender - Studio - Audacity - Photoshop - Launchpad

Testing

I had a few friends play through to check if there are any game-breaking issues. This is also a new process to me. It has proved invaluable. Not only did they find some glitches but also some gameplay issues caused by geometry in the arena. I actually removed some geo and re-positioned the saucer. This made the arena look hotter and solved issues where the enemies could not see the player. Or be blocked.

Future Development

I won't develop it further as I want to make a new game. This was a great learning process to help me prepare for my next games. 

Hope you have fun!
