What did I do in this Project?
In this project, I worked on the camera control, dragon’s motion and the game logics.
Since the main goal of this game is to provide a soothing and relaxing feeling, having a smooth motion for the dragon was quite important, what I did was having the body parts made up of separate pieces and make them follow their previous pieces, which would produce a fluid motion since the dragon head would move constantly in the scene.
I also made the dragon slightly move in a sine curve horizontally so the dragon would still have some motion even the game is idled.
Besides, I also implemented the dragon growth, the spirit consumption and different effects on consuming different color of spirits.
I did this entire project on Blueprint and with zero coding, this was an interesting and challenging experience.
