Final Major Project Ideas

Throughout my experience using software such as Unreal Engine, Maya and more I have learnt a whole bunch of things that I fully believe will help me when working on my final project. The main things I believe I learnt was being taught variables in Unreal Engine which I believe will help me in the

Evaluation P2

AIM: An investigation into how a Sensation of Horror is created in games For my project evaluation I will be going into detail about my experience of the obstacles I tackled, and how I worked. After thorough research I decided to create a horror game. The reason I wanted to create this was because I

Making Items Interactable

At first I wanted to make the items picks up items however I believe this wouldn’t refer back to my main idea so instead I decided to have the items already in the players hand when the game begins. I went to the gun’s settings and set it so the gun is hidden in game.

Adding a Jumpscare

I believe adding a jumpscare to the game will relate back to my idea because it gives a whole different vibe to the game. I did some research on jumpscares and found a sound that I liked. I then imported it into “Adobe Audition” edited the sound so it didn’t drag on for too long.

Adding a Health Bar and Dealing Damage To The Player

Creating and Importing Textures

I went and watched game play on both “Resident Evil 7” and “Layers of Fear” to get a clear idea of the type of textures they use and how they manipulate their textures to create an ominous atmosphere towards the player. I previously created a wooden material for another project. I decided to use this

Creating Rain

I believe adding rain towards my project would really set the mood and really show off my aim. I first created an “Actor” and entered the blueprint section, I created a component which makes the rain transparent and have a low opacity. I then created a “Material” and added the following: Initial Size: Changes the

Adding Background Music

I decided to add intense background music to my project in order to clearly show my aim in throughout my investigation. I used the website “BeepBox” in order to create the background music. When creating the music, my main thought was to make the music as dark as possible to not only make the game

Customising The Player Screen

When I finished importing the camera frame widget into the game, I then decided to add a “PostProcessVolume“. It adds a box around the game level which makes anything inside the box, the HUD is editable. In the image, I have first added a “Chromatic Aberration” which changes the screen to a more old camera
