Greybox platform


For his assignment we had to create a platform video game in unreal engine utilizing blueprints and meshes provided to us without creating any static meshes in Maya (no paper Mario copyright infringement here) was required that we had to make a level for someone who was new to video games.
I started out with a completely different idea that I wanted to do but because it had elements of magnetism. and doing such is extremely difficult especially at my beginner level of knowledge in blueprints. so I switched my idea to being that everything is a trap and requires some sort of method and repetition to get through the level since I really enjoy games lie that because it comes off to me as well thought out.
the biggest thing besides coming out with a new level idea in such a short amount of time in the week is using the blueprints but i have a better idea of how vectors and floats work in unreal engine, also not make static meshes defaults roots in the blueprint because it broke a blueprint and i had no idea how to fix it, so i had to get help. I had a lot fun with the ending. if there was anything I would fix, it would be the theme of level being more incorporated into the set design of the level. but overalla good exprience to being me into level design. I like idea of coming up with problems and solutions to visuals.
