About The Game

Disaster City was a game made in the 2024 global game jam with the theme Make Me Laugh. It was inspired by games suchas the Amazing Frog and Goat Simulator. This was my first try at making a full game using Unreal Engine 5, and made the experience a lot easier to create a fun game.

What I Worked On

I was responsible for everything besides the player for the game, I utilized the chaos system to allow for many objects in the game to be destroyed in the game and created a system where once the object is destroyed the player would receive points. I created the npc movement where they would randomly walk around the city saying lines as well as the moving vehicles. The final thing I did for the game was build the map for the game, most of the map was pre-built but my job was to add flavor to the city and make it feel alive.

What I learned

During the process of this game I learned a lot about Unreal Engine 5, this was my first big project using the engine so I learned all of the basics of the engine. I got comfortable using blueprints to have actors perform how I intended them too. I worked a lot with the chaos system having it where on contact the object would break and then give points to the player.
