I started this project with no previous game-development or programming experience.
I’m building Day of the Forest solo in Unreal Engine 5, using AI-assisted development and carefully selected commercial assets and systems that I integrate, adapt, debug, and combine into a single photorealistic survival game.
The full development showcase includes the world, survival and building systems, NPCs, interactions, inventory, weapons, weather, wildlife, and the development workflow behind the project.
