Unreal Engine 5 Roguelite Project
As part of a small team, I contributed to the development of a roguelite game built in Unreal Engine 5. This project allowed me to take ownership of several core systems like Motion matching, Gameplay Ability System (GAS) and more.
Dash System
I designed and implemented a responsive and satisfying dash mechanic, giving players fluid control and tactical mobility during combat.
I implemented a custom dash system where the player can dash toward a specific location based on input direction. If the destination is valid, the dash executes fully. If not, the system automatically adjusts and dashes to the furthest allowed point within range. I also designed and integrated a custom VFX to enhance visual clarity and impact.
Gameplay Ability System (GAS)
Leveraging Unreal’s Gameplay Ability System (GAS), I developed a flexible and scalable skill system. This allowed for a variety of abilities, cooldowns, effects, and player upgrades, all structured for easy expansion.
I implemented Unreal's GAS framework and connected it to a custom Hotbar system displayed at the bottom of the screen. When the player collects a skill, it’s automatically added to the Hotbar and can be activated via corresponding input. Skills are organized using an enumerator, making the system easy to manage and extend. Activation logic is handled through gameplay tags, enabling clean, scalable control over effects and abilities.
Motion Matching
To elevate character animation and responsiveness, I integrated Motion Matching. This ensured smooth, realistic transitions between animations, bringing fluidity and weight to every movement.
