Rooty the Racoon

This game was made as part of the 2023 global game jam! In the project, I was able to develop my understanding of Unreal Engine, and how to use blueprints in conjunction with C++. In a team of five, I worked on my communication and team work skills.

​

The main challenge of this project was having only 48 hours to complete it, but due to effective planning, the team was able to execute on the initial vision for the game.

​

The main objective is to find resources as a racoon to build your tree house. Once all objects have been built, the player wins! At night, wolves will patrol the environment, and will attack if near. The player must also eat berries and drink water to survive.
