Unnatural Box was a project with the goal to get experienced with Unreal Engine 5. My focus lay on learning the editor environment, creating functionality via blueprints and blueprint graphs, keeping up folder & object hierarchy as well as corresponding naming conventions, and making use of megascans. The project itself is based of the third person shooter template already provided by Unreal.
Specific elements of the engine I engaged with included: Creation of materials; Using megascans for foliage; Importing and using sounds; Creating blueprint widgets for start and end screen, as well as unit selection; Creating blueprint classes for a minimap; Creating blueprint classes for unit selection and movement; Creating blueprint classes for the puzzle mechanic; Building a navigation mesh
