​Background

  • Project was made for my Game Feel class.

  • Created using Blueprints in Unreal Engine 5.

  • The requirement of the project was to have the player feel like they are in 'X' experience.

  • Decided to do a kaiju experience because it was unique and originally planned for it to be in 3rd person which I was eventually told I wasn’t allowed to do so I had to switch to 1st person.

​Movement

  • Difficult to portray in 1st person because imaging what it would look like would include seeing the arms of the alligator when moving however the anatomy of an alligator makes it so you can’t see their arms.

​

  • A simple work around was to morph the bones of the animations to include the arms when looking from a 1st person perspective.

​

  • For the character movement I lowered the movement speed and rotation speed to make the player feel more sluggish and slower. I then wanted the steps to have more impact, so I made an animation notify every time the foot it the ground. Once the foot hit the ground, I would stop the player input for a little bit and then continue the input. This effect made the player feel like they were very heavy.
