Hyper Hand

Hyper-Hand is a top down twin stick action game made in Unreal Engine 4 over 6 weeks in which players control a floating hand who must defeat numerous and persistent enemy floating hands. Working in a team of 13 and communicating with various departments to customize and implement various forms of player conveyance (particle effects, sound effects, BGM, animation sequences). Recreated and isolated various bugs, promptly followed by resolving said bugs, found in different snippets of codes from different programmers.

Menu Connectivity

Full XBox controller support for menus. Learned how to program UMG to allow for menu navigation with clear conveyance and menu to menu connectivity.

Embedding Videos Inside Widgets

A "How To Play" video for a quick tutorial of the game. Learned how to embed videos into widgets by using a media texture. The media texture uses a media player to obtain the source video, which is given to it through a File Media Source asset which is used to link the file location of the video in engine.

Tutorial

The Hyper-Hand tutorial video. Focusing on the series of animations, some with particle effects, smoothly flowing between each other. Learned how to create and use animation blueprints, montages, and blend spaces to allow for smooth implementation of animations. This also includes implementing particle effects to play properly during the animations.
The implementation process for animations included searching blueprints for certain actions, taking apart the code to understand the timing of the different actions and subsequently connecting animation montages in the proper places in the code to play and convey the action properly.
The implementation process of the particle effects included searching the code for specific actions, understanding the code to find the timing of actions and the resulting events. For example, performing a punch and hitting an enemy would result in a particle effect spawning, where as not hitting one would not spawn a particle at all. Then, creating the particle effect in the correct location with proper scaling.
