This was a blast. I’ve been learning about game design for a couple years now, though my main focus is on art creation. All the art shown in the video is original, including the spritesheet for the player. I used 3D assets for the pickup objects on a whim, and really liked how they looked against the more low-res 2D pixels of the rest of the world. I don’t know whether to keep it this way, though - same with the low-res sprites. Anyway, I’m really psyched with the progress so far, so I’m offering it up for judgement.
Also the frame rate is low because either my computer is potatoes or UE4 is way more demanding than I thought. Sorry about that
