​
OVERVIEW
Set in Pripyat School No.1 - The first school to be built in Pripyat, the player is tasked with completing a series of tasks before encountering a killer.
​
This prototype was created to demonstrate my knowledge of UE4. Every asset and script seen except for the character model and foliage was created by me or my partner Deen Mugal (The character model and foliage was downloaded from the UE4 asset store).
​
Various working blueprints were created:
For the player - a health and energy system, sprint function, crouch function, fall damage, damage effects, bleeding effects and an inventory system.
For the inventory - Med kits, Food, Keys
For the enemy - Sight / Hearing senses, Roaming function, Player chasing function, Attack & damage function.
For the environment - Working doors with corresponding keys, Readable billboards, Books and Crates that can be opened, working ladders, Kill zones.
For the UI - Main menu, Save/Load functionality, Auto saves, Pause menu, Game over menu.
& more.
​
The project was managed using AGILE methodology, being subject to many iterative changes as needed be along the way, based on user and developer feedback throughout the development cycle.
