The greyboxing is an updated version of a whitebox that includes more detail, actors and textures. I almost completley overhauled the textures and materials and in the starting room I even added particles in order to create ambience. For our next overhaul I hope to have flashing lights and possibly the enemies finished so the player can be attacked by them.
Unreal Engine 5 is like a super cool tool that helps people make video games and other stuff like virtual reality experiences. It's kind of like a special toolbox filled with all sorts of amazing things that game developers can use to create their own worlds, characters, and adventures. One really helpful thing about Unreal Engine 5 is that it makes everything look realistic, almost like you're in a movie. It does this by using something called which makes really detailed graphics without slowing down the game. So, if you're making a spooky area in a game made with Unreal Engine 5, the shadows and sunlight will look just like they do in real life. Overall, Unreal Engine 5 is like a magic wand for game developers, helping them turn their ideas into amazing adventures that people can play and enjoy. Even though it might seem a bit complicated at first, with practice and patience, anyone can learn to use it to make their own games and creations. Me personally I learned how to create blueprint assets, actors, and even entire maps. The learning curve is a bit challenging but I was able to get a hang of most all landscaping tools. My greatest problem was learning how to code inside Unreal using blueprints as it looks simple but is actually quite confusing. I'm not sure what I want to do after highschool but this is a very good path if I decide its what I want to do. Overall I enjoyed learning so far and am excited to work more on my game after break.

I created a mood board to visually represent the aesthetics of one of the game concepts that I pitched. A mood board is a collection of images, and visual elements that show a specific mood, style, or concept and it is how I have found the overall look of how I want my game to be.
Unstable Unicorns: The card game Unstable Unicorns objective is to have the most unicorns in your stable but many of the other cards can either destroy, steal cards or even skip your turn. The genre is strategy because of the risk of certain actions having to strategize on the cards you place/sacrifice. This games target audience is for children ages 3-8 because of its simplicity and it can be played with anywhere from 3 to 6 players. Resources for this game include 2 different types of cards and a set of rules. The cards are used to set up, continue and win the game. Procedures in this game can be changed depending on what the player wants to do. The games starting procedure is random because any player can start but to keep going there is a drawing phase and a action phase which the player can switch out to draw a second card if they wish. Other cards may also be able to extend or shorten these phases for themselves or other players. The game ends when a player has 7 unicorns in their stable and nobody stops them. Rules/Objectives include things like only having up to 7 cards in hand. The objective of the game is to get 7 cards into the players stable but you can only place one card at a time and other players can use certain cards to stop you from placing down unicorns. Skill isn't really a big part of the game as its very Chance based on which cards you get. but there is some skill in knowing what to place and when. Enjoyment is likely the main goal of the game but for me a lot of the cards are tedious to use and annoying when you want to place them.
Asteroids: Asteroids is an old shooter-type game about surviving for as long as possible while other ships and asteroids fly all around you the game is endless until you eventually lose all your ships and the game restarts. Its a one player game meant for anyone 8+. Centipede: Centipede is a game about stopping the centipede and getting the highest score possible without coming in contact with any of the other monsters. The game is an arcade shooter with continuous time. Cheaty Mages: Cheaty mages is a card fighting game where you place bets on 1-2 of the 5 fighters on who will come out on top. This game has a card system that keeps some cards hidden and others are shown. |
