Project Scope:

• Develop a squad-based tactical shooter game for PC.

• Create a vertical slice comprising three levels.

• Incorporate puzzle-like levels split across two time zones.

• Collaborate with a team of 9 members.

• Utilise Unreal Engine 5.1 for development.

• Focus on environmental storytelling through level design and dressing.

• Establish a tutorial system to guide players through mechanics.

• Ensure cohesive visual and audio elements to enhance gameplay.

• Facilitate team organisation and optimisation of efforts.

Design Goals:

• Create engaging and challenging puzzle-like levels.

• Develop a cohesive world that conveys a larger narrative.

• Implement intuitive UI features for player interaction.

• Integrate dynamic audio elements to enhance immersion.

• Design and implement an effective tutorial system.

• Utilise level dressing to depict past and future versions of environments.

• Ensure scalability and potential for future expansion.

• Foster teamwork and collaboration among team members.

 

Steps Taken to Achieve This:

• Collaborated on refining the game concept and technical details.

• Designed and implemented seven levels focusing on mechanics mastery.

• Worked on back-end UI features, particularly blueprints for collectables.

• Organised and optimised team efforts during the beta phase.

• Recorded diverse audio samples and music pieces for the game.

• Designed and implemented the tutorial system using triggers and UI.

• Handled back-end systems for objectives and integrated cover objects.

• Meticulously dressed levels to depict past and future versions and allow players to use their imagination to fill in the gaps between the 2 time zones.

• Actively participated in testing, bug identification, and refinement.

• Took on leadership responsibilities including presentations and documentation.

Evolution of the Project:

• Initiation phase: Collaborative refinement of game concept and technical details.

• Development phase: Focus on level design, UI features, and audio implementation.

• Beta phase: Organisation and optimisation of team efforts, bug identification, and testing.

• Refinement phase: Iterative refinement based on feedback, including elimination of free camera.

• Leadership: Taking on leadership responsibilities, leading presentations, and generating documentation.

• Conclusion: Successful creation of an impressive vertical slice setting the stage for future scalability and success.
