I decided to try to make a small game. The idea is to make Mini Games Collections (5 mini games). In each of the 4 games there will be a clue for the fifth-last game (not necessary - but easier to know). I’m a total beginner and I hope there are no big bugs in the game
Hope you’re well and having a wonderful week so far Also, huge welcome to the Unreal Engine forums! It’s always great seeing a new face.
I’m genuinely so disappointed I missed this thread for so long. The environments you’ve created are just so well made. The dock, specifically, looks so charming and polished especially the vibrancy of the lighting and water.
Thanks for taking the time to share. I look forward to seeing the next update!
I appreciate your idea to make Mini Games Collections (5 mini games).
I’m doing something similar with multiplayer in mind to utilized my massive Vault of Marketplace Assets I’ve acquired over the years. The games differ in gameplay, but could share content between them.
Having to find a Clue (Object) within each game for use in the Last game is very clever.
It links the games (levels) together in an elegant way, provides and overarching quest that could drive motivation to play each.
Awesome modular level design that could be extended on gradually. Potentially, new clues could be added to existing to maps to encourage reuse/ replay.
I'm very interested in seeing this concept grow.

Hello there @makisiki ! Welcome to the Unreal Forums with us and thank you for sharing your journey with your very first game.
I love what you’ve done with this project so far. Having unique minigames with hints to the final game throughout them all is very unique. I’ve not seen this done in recent times that I can remember so I’m very curious. I’m looking forward to seeing the update and your final project as you continue to work. Keep it up!
A little more than planned mini-games were done, but I think it turned out ok.
… the game is “finished” …
Quotation marks because I didn’t do the graphics and music. I’m still thinking about what and how …
Graphics - if I do everything myself … it will take years … I will most likely use “Unreal Engine Marketplace - Free”.
Music - I tried something, it’s not good. I’ll try to find someone interested in doing the music, or I’ll download some free versions from the internet.
As for the game (tasks) itself - that’s it (perhaps over time something will be refined-remade). So, the only thing that needs to be done next is “make-up” and correcting mistakes - I won’t put too much effort into it because this is the first (beginner) game I’ve done and it shouldn’t look like RDR2
As I said - the game is playable and can be tried … who hates to solve all the tasks or has seen how the levels look like, there is an option for “fast solving the level” … passing through the portals opens a new level - from the level by pressing Esc - Portals (for test) ends the level and returns to the portals. After completing all 4 levels, the 5th portal appears and that’s the end.
