My contributions
I started by creating a class for the skills that trigger 2 actions : display of a mini game and the unlocking of a new skill in code as in visual (appearance of the helmet, springs...).
I then coded the skills that were not included in the basic character such as sprinting or charging.
My third task was the level design of the mini-games.
I also took care of the whole UI part (menus and during the game).
I ended up managing the loading / unloading of the levels.
As a bonus, I learned how to make small animations and created the animations of springs and bats.
What the project has brought to me
Again, rapid implementation of a specific organization was required, especially since there were few and there were a lot of things to do.
We also had to "limit" ourselves, try not to think too big in order to publish something more like a game than a prototype.
During this project, I was able to learn how Unreal's save system works in C++.
I also had the opportunity to discover the Maya software in order to create simple animations.
Finally, we were very satisfied with our project and we are motivated to continue to develop it and to publish a well developed version as soon as possible.
