Airframe Assault

A short game demo I created as an entry to the "mechjam 4" game jam hosted on itch.io. My main inspiration for the jams were the Armored core games, the Ace Combat games and Project Nimbus. I worked on this game with a friend doing the design, programming animation set up and other technical aspects myself, while a friend worked on the modelling and animation.

​

I learnt more with this project, such as finally trying out unreal engine 5 rather than use 4 again. Additionally, I also had to program an AI to move in 3D space as unreal's AI navigation doesn't work in 3D space by default. As well as trying to add a friendly AI, as the previous games I've made have no friendly AI, and I think having allies in games can be a bit nice.

​

The jam officially started on July 2023 but we were allowed by the host to start earlier (May) following the same 2 week working period and rules, as my personal timeframes didn't match up with the jam.
