Using Unreal Engine 4 to create Game Jam

My situation

This is good and bad information: I quit my job to create something by myself. First thing I created is Clash of Morons for Epic Spring Jam.
For those players who want to try new games the info from eminetra.com can be very useful.

80.lvl did interview with me about it.

Clash of Morons

Jam theme was “Other side of the coin” – we created simple arcade game where you are forced to pick a side. You can download the game on itch.io.

My GameJam Game on Greenlight!

header_FB

Intensive Exposure started as a game jam game created originally in 42 hours. The theme was “No one knows who I am”. It won both first prize and people’s choice award. With such a great feedback and given our love for the original concept we embarked on an adventure to create bigger and more refined version of the game.

It is my first game created without being so serious about it. Lot’s of fun!

You can support the game on Greenlight!  And yeah I will be posting some tutorials from this one as we did a lot of stuff quickly.

  • Implement idle state and moving state,
  • Manage targets,
  • Easy way to tell Turret which type of Actors should fire,

Remember the moment from Alien 2 movie with turrets? This will be almost the same.

Enemy: “Marine”

UE4Editor 2015-08-27 20-57-08-573

  • Reload his weapon when no ammo,

This will be more advanced tutorial but I think if you did earlier tutorials it shouldn’t be hard for you!
