Introducing: Untitled Spear Game!


Hello, it's been a while! I've recently completed an Unreal Engine 5 beginner course. While I am familiar with the engine, this class was a great refresher. This is Untitled Spear Game, a game where players use their weapon to fight and platform their way across levels. Currently the proof of concept: a level where players can fight enemies, solve a puzzle, and use the spear as a platform, is complete and was submitted as the Vertical Slice for this project. 

I am planning on continuing with this project, as there are more I'd like to do. If you're interested in learning more, the following was cut from the prototype due to time:

Cut/Moved Mechanics:

 - Hold Attack to Throw: Cut for ease of understanding of the mechanic. Throwing is a single button press on a separate button from the attack button.

 - Throw Camera Shift + Reticle: A nice to have mechanic that would have shifted the player's camera to the right and bring up a reticle so players would have an easier time aiming their spear when throwing. Moved to future Milestone due to time restraints.

Additional Notes:

Currently the hitbox for the player's in-hand spear can kill enemies without pressing the attack button. This is a known issue that I do not have time to rectify. This will not negatively affect gameplay (i.e. no crashes/game breaks)
