THE GAME

• The game title: Treasure Dungeon

• Target group 3+

• The game is build for PC

• The main game’s goal is to challenge player to run in endless run and collects coins, without to hit by obstacles.

• The software who I use for this purposes is Unreal Engine 4 and Mixamo Fuse - character creation tool.

WHAT IS UNREAL ENGINE 4;

• Unreal Engine 4 is a graphic engine from Epic Games and provides a variety for tools to make video games.

• Cost free.

• Programming languages: C++, C#, Cg, GLSL, HLSL and Boo or blueprints for amaturs.

• Unreal Engine is most popular game engine software.

• The engine provides a friendly user interface and fast familiarization with user.

• Works on new generation graphics.

• Games who made with Unreal Engine: Paragon, Street Fighter V, EVE Valkyrie, Final Fantasy VII Remake etc.

WHAT IS FUSE;

• Fuse is a 3D character creation tool from Mixamo.

• Cost free.

• The tool has provide a fully friendly user interface.

• The fuse doesn’t need experience for character creation and animation from users.

• Mixamo provides a huge variety of compatible animations for character.

METHODOLOGY FOR GAME AND DEVELOPING:

• For developing purposes I choose agile methodology.

• The specs for PC I used is: cpu – AMD FX8370, graphic card – AMD R9 290 and 16GB RAM.

• Developing steps: character, gameplay, courses, obstacles, items, more courses – corners, finalize and testing.

SAMPLE FROM DEVELOPING:

TESTING:

CONCLUSION:

• The game has complete and has a playable – beta version.

• With this project I develop as a small level skill for endless runner games including strategies for this genre and character creation.

• The first problem from developing shows on corners because they don’t spawn as planed and don’t include on final version.

• Additional features: distance meter, high score save and power ups.
