Engine: Unreal Engine | Genre: Horror | Platform: PC
Overview
In this project my goal was to create a unique take on the horror genre, inspired from one of the early classics Pac-Man. It didn't need to be a horror experience, though I have become very fond of that game genre. This project includes various systems, a big part of the game was implemented the pathfinding for the enemy AI. I decided to go with a waypoint approach, though I was concerned with how I would be able to get the neighbors of each waypoint in the world, while placing them in the world. I decided to have each waypoint find their neighbor by using a raycast, which was able to get a neighbor based on whether it was valid or not (like if there was a wall in the way or not).
I also decided to implement the movement in way where you auto move based on the direction you were facing, these controls had to change from how Pac-Man originally did it, since I was working with a first person perspective and it just felt better to play with the changes I had made.
I do like the concept that I created over all, though if I were to ever go back to this project I would overhaul a lot of what I did, with improved implementation.
