[GAME] Ninja game

[anonymous_user_05734e03]

Hey,

I’m creating a game to learn how to work with blueprints in unreal engine.

It’s sort of a twin stick shooter with a ninja, who throws shurikens. The player has special attacks and a dash to move around or attack enemies that are close.

Very basic mockup, none of these meshes/textures are final:

List of things to create:

- Enemy drops ( Collectables?)

TEXTURES

Update:

Started working on some basic props.

Otherwise I made some unreal blueprints for the hero, the basic pickups, and enemies.

Also started on blood particle

Updated lots of blueprints:

• Basic AI is working
• Two attacks: Throwing shurikens and a spin
• Health and mana bar
• Two pickups (Health and shuriken ‘ammo’

Aiming is done with the mouse.
Blood particle is fully working

Basic layout

Update:

Added an updated ninja mesh:

And made a couple animations:

• Running (In all directions)
• Death animation
• Spin animation
• Dash animation
• Idle pose

• A blend space and animation blueprint

The sword is visible in game, it’s attached to a socket.

Uploading GIF’s or video later.

Blueprint changes:

• Enemies now drop pickups randomly
• Dash now does damage to whoever you pass
• The sword dragging on the floor has a particle effect
• Added AnimTrail effects for dash and spin
• Added a Turret like enemy ( still needs a model and particle, but blueprint and projectiles work).

Going to start working on more enemies and implementing waves.
