I’m participating in Epic MegaJam and basically I’m amazed how many things can be done in short period of time. I have created a vertical slice of first person crawler game with generated dungeons during a Week.  If you know the engine you will be doing your work incredibly fast and this project is a proof.

Theme

The theme was: “STANDING ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS”

My interpretation is simple. As developer I’m standing on the shoulders of Giants who created those great assets that I have used. As gamer I created a game where you won’t be able to clear a dungeon without your previous characters progress. You are standing on theirs shoulders.

Features

• Generated dungeons system supporting static lighting,
• Online leaderboards,
• 20+ Perks,
• Weapons and projectile systems: 4 Weapons added,
• Two AI trees: I can add new enemy in 5 min now (there is 7 of them in the game),
• Possibility to balance various variables using curves,
• Izo view and first person view,
• UMG managed in HUD class,
• Lot’s of custom effects,
• Interactive objects,
• Pickups system,

So yeah – Unspoken Chambers is first person dungeon crawler with generated content.
