Overview
This was my first project that I worked on, and it was also my first introduction to Unreal Engine which was very exciting at the time. I learnt a lot this project about lots of things, but mainly pixel art and animation, and the basics about working inside 2D in Unreal Engine.
​
Our theme was "Power Source" and that gave me the idea to take inspiration from the 1st person action-platformer Ghostrunner, which I used as my main inspiration of the mechanics like using energy to perform special abilities such as dashing and combat attacks/moves.
