Maze Runner - GAM-315 Capstone Project

A simple game featuring an enemy AI. The player must search through the maze and find the 5 items hidden throughout.

Created within Unreal Engine 4 the game features a combination of blueprints and c++ code for all gameplay features. Adobe Photoshop was used to create the UI elements within the game. 

Maze Runner Highlights

UI Design

Level Design

When first creating the project an AI and player controller were created to setup the controls of the characters. Within the player controller a menu element was created to show the HUD and set to show the game over screen whenever necessary. The items within the game were already created also using c++ to set the ability when overlapping to disappear and inform the controller that an item has been picked up.

To polish the artifact I knew I wanted to redesign the level and UI so I first looked upon that and thought of what changes I wanted to make.

The first step that i took was the redesign of the level. Featuring an expanded level that the players will need to search through. Additionally I created UI elements within Photoshop to be featured. This included the keyboard keys for movement, the scroll for the quest, and a manual image taken and cropped of the items to be picked up. The scroll and the items were used in the creation of the game over screen. During the process minimal problems occurred.
