I originally chose this project because I really enjoy game development and I saw this as an opportunity to learn more about a game engine which I previously had no experience with. I also wanted to work on a project that was creatively fulfilling that I could share with friends and family as I made progress with it. So far I can confidently say that the 3D Escape Room Game has meet both of these expectations and I am very happy with not only my selection of projects, but the way that the project is turning out to be. I have a lot more knowledge of Unreal Engine 5 and I actually plan to continue using it for personal game development projects after I graduate. I also have been able to share progress reports with my friends and family by showing them the features and level designs I have been making. So far it has been a very fun project!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But that isn’t to say that the project hasn’t come with some hurdles and challenges to overcome. There have been many problems and challenges but the most difficult one that I faced was getting the inventory system to work properly. The inventory system was the first big feature I developed using Unreal Engine 5 and there wasn’t one simple tutorial to follow so I ended up having to find and use a variety of tutorials to teach me how to accomplish exactly what I wanted as well as just figuring some things out completely on my own. My lack of knowledge with Blueprints also made this more difficult but after having overcome this challenge I know feel that I have a much better grasp on Blueprints going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am very confident in my ability to complete the project. There was a time actually where I was very nervous if I would even be able to meet the minimum requirements for the project but now, with the progress I have made since becoming a solo team, I think it may even be possible to meet a stretch goal such as multiplayer! I am very excited to continue working on this project for the rest of the school year and I am excited to see how far I can take it next quarter \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
