Blaze Seeks the Sun
Blaze Seeks the Sun is a small and simplistic 3D platformer created within Unreal Engine 4. It takes unusual inspiration from the horror genre, while changing up its game play by using a combination of mechanics in interesting ways. This is a survival platformer where visibility is low and danger lurks everywhere.
Game Design- I took the opportunity to challenge myself with this project, as there are many sidescroller styled games such as this that combine platforming with the unnerving horror aspect. However there are very few that did it with 3D platforming, as 3D platforming on its own is a little trickier to pull off with its nuances than a 2D sidescroller.
Level Design- I designed the level to ensure the player would be progressively introduced to the mechanics of the game and taught at a reasonable rate.
Coding/Blueprinting- I used a combination of C++ scripting and blueprints focusing on the game play code.
