Project Duration

On Going

Wanting to get into some VR Development (as well as get back into game development), I had the idea of a third-person shooter tower defence in my mind for a while and so I set to work on it.

Using Unreal Engine 4.27, I put together this game, using as much C++ as I could (e.g. for character animation instances, behavior tree services/task nodes and for the placement of obstacles by the player).

I had to also get this to work with VR, for which in particular, one would have to have two axes (for X and Y), of each 1 dimensional axis (e.g. for MoveForward), which SteamVR would combine into two axes (bindings sample below):

An example of all of this together, is shown in the video below:

EDIT: A more recent example (23/08/2022) is shown below (with resolved AI issues and an early version of a ‘turret’ that the Player will be able to place; a Machinegun Turret):

I will have to make it so that the Player can place a basic tower that can shoot at the enemies.

For reference, the Player character is just the UE4 default character and the enemies, are that of the character: ‘Grux’, from Epic Games’ failed ‘MOBA’: Paragon.
