Issues
-
Only 2 Programmer for the entire project, so since I have decent programming skills in Unreal Engine, I helped so we could finish the project in Time
-
Very ambitious project (4 levels with 2 different gameplay and 4 different cameras) which required to cut some feature and assets to finish it on time
-
Our VFX artist left for an internship early in the project which mean someone in the group had to improvise himself as a VFX artist to create 1 important asset AND I chose to reuse old VFX from the 2023 Mr. Chaussette project
-
We had a lot of trouble with getting the Player feedback right, so we had to do a lot of retakes, learn new techniques (Hit stop, Animation, VFX...)
-
We had to find a way to make a 2D Character works with a 3D camera, we tried multiple ways and we chose the most time effective one which was to make the character always face the camera
