Welcome to the Valley

This is the game I created for GameJam 2022.  The theme was "Death is only the beginning."  This inspired me to create a 3rd-person action game, where the player would need to kill bosses and minions in order to gain enough power and the special abilities needed to conquer the game.

The game is playable, but has several bugs: special attacks don't function, certain events cause animations to stop playing or get locked in the wrong animation, hit detection is glitchy, sound hasn't been implemented yet, cannot achieve "final goal" of the game...

What does work: you can enter the valley, run around, kill things, the meter for special power fills properly, the terrain looks good, the sky is nice.

I used several assets Paragon assets that Unreal released.  They were both a great shortcut to having great looking assets, and a huge source of confusion for someone (like me) who doesn't have a lot of experience working with games and game assets.
