Dungeon Slash

Project Objective

Develop "Dungeon Slasher," a melee combat video game using Unreal Engine, primarily with C++ and some Unreal visual scripting (Blueprint).

The Process

• Implemented the game's core mechanics focusing on methodical melee combat, where blocking and attacking are balanced by a stamina system.
• Designed combat to encourage strategic play: blocking requires precise timing and both actions consume stamina, with attacking costing significantly more.
• Created basic AI for enemies, enabling them to patrol, chase the player upon detection, and execute timed attacks.
• Utilized line tracing to determine the success of enemy attacks and to check if the player is blocking.
• Developed similar mechanics for player attacks, ensuring fair and responsive combat interactions.
• Managed the project using Jira for task prioritization, a Gantt chart for a comprehensive development timeline, and GitHub for source control.

The Outcome

• Produced "Dungeon Slasher," a game with engaging and strategic melee combat.
• Successfully integrated AI behavior and player-enemy interactions to create a dynamic gameplay experience.
• Utilized project management tools effectively to stay on track and maintain organized development processes.
