The work that I did for this project is:

• Terrain (Mountains/Road) 

• Landscape Material/Applying 

• Restaurant setup (Walls, Texture, Stairs, Shadows) 

• Finding and Applying all Materials 

• Finding Asset Packs/Applying Assets 

• Finding and Applying Music (Blueprints Included) 

• UIs for the Main Menu and Pause Menu Includes: 

• Canvas Setup for both 

• Buttons for both 

• Blueprints for both 

• Music for both 

(Art for the buttons and Main Menu cover page was done by Ali.) 

Using the Kanban in GitHub, I created issues totaling 22 hours on this project. However, I managed to spend twice as much time working on this project due to the amount of work needed. This includes making sure things progressed smoothly and trying to understand the pull request conflicts that occurred frequently.

Game Balance 

The type of game that the team enthusiastically chose to build is a top-down restaurant level game where the player shoots/slashes through the hoard of hungry customers. The idea for this game was to have the player vanquish customers with food until level 5. That is when the player would “drive” to the farm to kill the food to feed the customers. Once the player gets to level 10 is when the boss is supposed to appear. The burger in the room represents the upgrades that they are supposed to receive to help in conquering the levels. The higher the levels, the faster and stronger the customers and food got, making it harder for the player to walk around the level. 

The most difficult part of this project is the GitHub repository. There were many hiccups when dealing with the conflicts of data being pushed or pulled to the repository. Another issue I ran into was the kitchen assets. It was the hardest for me because the person who made the asset pack combined all the assets to one static mesh so I had to cut up the mesh in Unreal Engine 5 so that I could have 12 functional assets, a few of which were blueprinted. 

I was able to create everything that I wanted to get done up to the point where everyone had to push everything to complete the project. If we had more time, we might have gotten to the second phase of this project. Blueprinting was the biggest issue because we kept running into issues that were not letting us complete specific tasks required to move forward.  

The one thing that I have learned the most is static mesh separation in Unreal Engine 5 and team management in the GitHub repository. Finding a method to cut the mesh saved me hours of work in finding or creating a suitable kitchen for our stylized game. However, it still took considerable time trying to find out this new technique. The GitHub repository gave me several headaches, but I managed to overcome them and learn more about teamwork, GitHub, and Kanban. Overall, it was worth finding these skills because I now know what to do if Fab gives me a static mesh with an entire kitchen on it and conflicts that will arise in GitHub. Also, the thing that I am most proud of is the way in which the restaurant’s design came out. I tried to randomize as many assets as I could so that it would have the authentic feel I was going for.
