Media Engineering: UE5 Team Game

Overview

Belka in Space is a space-themed typing game where players defend against waves of enemies by typing words of increasing difficulty. Developed in Unreal Engine 5, the project combines C++ for backend gameplay systems with Blueprints for GUI interface design. The focus was on creating a fast-paced, multi-directional challenge that tests the player's reflexes in a collaborative team setting.

My Contribution

My contribution focused on selected gameplay systems in C++ and GUI Blueprint implementation. I worked on player-related logic, typed-input interaction, HUD integration, and debugging within the Unreal Engine workflow.

Process and Outcome

Team Development: The project was developed collaboratively, with responsibilities distributed across gameplay, technical systems, and presentation.
Player and Input Logic: I worked on the Player_Belka and InputLogicComponent classes, including life management, animation state changes, game-over flow, typed-input interaction, target locking, and word reset behavior.
HUD and Interface Work: I contributed to GUI Blueprint and HUD-related features, including lose-life feedback, score display fixes, pause button behavior, and interface adjustments for the player experience.
Debugging and Integration: I also worked on debugging gameplay and runtime issues such as score saving, score deduction, score display, collision logic, and JSON file handling in the executable build.
