Third Person Shooter Project

Almost 1.5 years ago, I and my friends started a project-game in Unreal Engine 5. The initial goal of this project was to create a framework in which we can practice our skills. After a while this project grew into something more. As part of the project I am designing and developing the entire codebase of the project including mechanics. I also maintain a page where I periodically share progress on our work.

Due to an agreement with my team, I can’t put all the game files in the public domain. But with a great pleasure I can show you all the developments when you call me.

Description of the mechanics used

1. Enhanced Input for input mappings.
2. Custom controllers for the player and for the enemies.
3. A simple locomotion system for the player character.
4. Custom system of interactions with objects.
5. Custom projectile and hit-scan weapon system.
   • Projectile weapons can spawn various projectile objects that can be easily customized.
6. Gameplay Tags system.
   • Used for convenient and easy mapping for complex systems like GAS.
7. GAS system.
   • Including Ability System Component and Attribute Set.
   • Almost every action is Ability.
   • The individual weapon acts as a “repository” for the character’s active abilities. When selecting a weapon, the player receives active abilities corresponding to the weapon.
8. Gameplay Effects system.
9. Custom procedure generation system.
   • Used for level generation.
10. Behaviour Tree System.
    • Used for the logic of enemies.
11. Custom dismemberment system.
    • It was originally a plugin, but had to be modified to suit our needs.
12. HUD for active abilities and Health bar.
13. Custom event spawner.
    • For example, for attacks by waves of enemies
