Settings

I consider the menus and especially the settings the greatest thing I have done in any project.

The menus were fully usable with mouse, keyboard & controller.

There were animations, saving/loading, resetting, rebinding & much more in these settings.

Mission Select

The mission selection screen allows player to select which timeline and what kind of mission they want to go into.

There was also a difficulty slider which allows player to take on harder missions with better loot.

Settings

For A.S.S I made the menus and settings. As this was my first time doing UI in UE it was a challenge to get started.

I wanted to make these menus to look as retro as possible.

The menus for A.S.S were also 100% usable with mouse, keyboard & controller.

I remember being annoyed with the key rebind system of UE so I made my own.

Mission Select

I made the level selection for Sunescape.

The level selection randomly selects the size & loot of the level.

There was also supposed to be a sort of biome too but we didn't have time to make it.

After completing a level there is chance to select from 2 or 3 different levels and sometimes there is only a 1 boss level.

Inventory

The Inventory for Sunescape was were most of my time was used.

I found some tutorial on how to make a basic grid inventory in Unity and I used it and expanded it a lot.

Expansions I made were item stacking, splitting, dropping, picking up, equipping & swapping.

I must say I'm still proud of this inventory and myself for making it.

HUD

I also made the HUD of Sunescape. It is a simple HUD nothing special.

Top left shows player health and gravity gun charge amount.

Botton left shows the first 3 slots of inventory and player can change hold item usin 1,2,3 buttons on their keyboard.

Bottom right shows equiped item and all of the ammo the player is carrying.

TV

The TV in the room is fully usable and the buttons on it work as intended.

It was my first time using MP4 files as textures and switching between them.

Gun

The Gun was a fun little thing to add into the project.

I used the pickup system that was made by other programmers so the player could pickup the gun.

I had to make a system which looked which hand had picked up the gun so the correct had could shoot the gun as this mechanic was not implemented in the pickup system.

It was also fun to make the material fading for the darts of the gun.

Radio

The radio was a bit trickier to make than it seems. This is because the knobs are interactable and to interact with them the player must rotate them.

For my sanity our other programmer had made a similar system for the faucet in the bathroom. So I could use the same script with some little adjustments.

It is pretty difficult showing the radio working, because I do not own a VR setup and voice is hard to show from a gif.

Store

The store of Moo Moo Madness was pretty successfull in my oppinion.

I made multiple different tabs to the shop.

The thing which I'm most proud during this project was the cow skin customization. I remember that it was quite a difficult thing to do but I somehow managed to get it to work.

Also during this project I learned how to save/load values.

Menu

During the development of ERP I learned that I liked to make UI.

The menus of the ERP are much cleaner than what I hade previously done, but looking back there are lots of simple mistakes.

Saving/loading was still something I didn't have time to get into so when changing scenes all the values of settings go into their defaults.

Weapons

The weapons in ERP was my first time working on something other than UI during a project so I got some help from other programmer on our team.

I managed to somehow make multiple different weapons and in my oppinion they work quite well.

Enemies

The enemies were my biggest challenge during development of ERP as I wanted to try my skills and ask as little help as possible.

Because of my stubbornness the enemies are quite dumb. They do not have any kind of pathfinding and in some of the rooms it shows.

At a later stage of development I wanted to add A* pathfinding algorithm to the enemies but our time was running out so I had to scrap that idea.

Settings

As Shank Simulator was my first project that I have made my knowledge of making stuff was 0 and for this project it shows.

I was tasked of making the menus and settings for the game. Somehow I managed to get them to work but they are pretty scuffed if I do say so myself.

Atleast the settings work, but there is no saving / loading because I didn't know how to do that.
