UE5 MC
A proof of concept Unreal project with multiple AI systems and a boss fight
UE5 Melee Project Time (2023-Present)
This is the current project I'm working on, a Melee Combat Game developed with Unreal Engine 5. This prototype has several enemy types, including a ranged, melee, and mage enemy all with Different Behavior Trees and AI Components.
These enemies culminate in a boss fight, that is interesting, challenging, and engaging for the player. The project is being developed with the best software engineering practices for C++, Blueprint, and the UE5 code manifest.
Task Overview- Designed and Prototyped Enemy Mechanics, and AI Behavior
- Created a Boss Fight that Culminates what the player has learned about the mechanics of the game, that is engaging, interesting, and most importantly, fun.
- Receive feedback and improve the prototype where needed.
