Some details about the game
 Code Map - Initial Thesis Project VersionThis is the code map of the original game version developed as a thesis project. The visualization displays the complete software architecture (class structures, main variables, and implemented functions) organized across different modules and components. Note that this technical documentation was used during the thesis presentation - the game has since received updates not reflected in this code map. For better readability, click the link below the image in full screen to view the PDF version |  Main Character ComponentsThese are the components that make up the main character. Since I used meta-human, there are several meshes and hair, but mainly to note the various custom components that I created and added to the character. • Falling Component - Fall damage detection • Climb Component - Surface climbing mechanics • Inventory Component - Item storage system • Checking Objects - Interaction detection (2 instances) • Swimming Component - Water mechanics with breath control |  Enemy DetailsHere are the details I added to the enemy such as visual effects, attack range and any item it can spawn |
|---|---|---|
 Enemy Behaviour TreeThis is the simple behaviour tree used by the enemy. The enemy AI behaviour tree has 3 main states: • Patrol - Random movement within designated area (waypoint changes every 4 seconds) • Chase - Pursues player when detected within range • Attack - Engages target with ranged combat (fires every 2 seconds) |  Main Character ControlsThis is the Data Asset used in (relative to) the main character controller, consisting of various Input Action |
I’ll be sharing more detailed insights into the design process, game’s code and other exciting aspects soon. Stay tuned for a closer look at how everything comes together behind the scenes!
