Shaman

Shaman is a third person action adventure game created with Unreal Engine 4. The project was developed over a year by a team of 8 persons(4 programmers, 4 game designers) as part of a set of courses to learn the production pipeline of a game.

Jaguar Combat and Locomotion

My main role in the project was as a gameplay and AI programmer. One of the key mechanics of the game is that the main character has the ability to transform into a jaguar. My main contribution to the game was the implementation of the jaguar locomotion and combat system. I was also in charge of the shapeshift transition that involved particle effects and most importantly the handling of the collision detections for each form of the character.

Enemy AI

Shaman has 3 types of enemies: striker, caster and brute. I contributed to the implementation and debugging part of the AI logic for all the enemies. This gave me a deeper understanding on how to work with behavior trees in UE4.

Data tables

I also had the opportunity to create a custom interface using Unreal data tables as a tool for game designers to tune the game variables of the main character and enemies with balancing purposes without touching a single line of code.
