We needed to place the Foliage as Instance Static Meshes and our Game Designer asked me if there is a way so he doesn't have to manipulate each mesh individually. So I build him a simple Editor Utility Widget.
To create different types of obstacles in the game we decided to use Water. It had various requirements that needed to be met, like a form of interaction with the player.

To be able to create levels as fast as possible I created a System that works with only Datatables. The Game is fully voiced which is also implemented in a simple System.

For this Main Menu I created multiple Widgets so I could use them in different Projects. A Macro handles the opening of the different Sub-Widgets. The Main Menu is placed in a 3D Space and on the Materials is a basic Panner to create the Illusion of the Camera moving constantly.

Core systems first: wave system, between-round shop, intro sequence. For VR we focused on fast, fun mechanics like procedural katana slicing.
Skipped complex features like a currency system to keep scope realistic.
No revision control → higher workload on one person, fewer features shipped.
I first discovered game development in school through a class project. Seeing others play and enjoy what I had created sparked a feeling I never wanted to lose. In 2023 I visited Japan and developed a strong connection to the country, which continues to inspire me every day. Today, my motivation to create games is closely tied to my long-term ambition of building a career and life in Japan.
