Play as an aerial firefighter and race against the clock to stop an out-of-control wildfire. Collect drones, save lives, and try your best to save the forest!

This project was created for the Unreal Fellowship Games program in 2024. For the fellowship we were tasked to create an original arcade game in Unreal Engine 5 in three weeks. My goal was to create a simple to understand game loop with visuals enhanced by Unreal technology.

Specific Unreal features in the game include:

• Gameplay flow and logic using Blueprint
• Environment generation using Procedual Content Generation
• Material graphs for gameplay
• Fire visual effects using Niagara particle system
• Basic AI behavior using AI controller class

Over the course of three weeks, we were given hands on training by Epic instructors, mentorship through industry veterans, and playtesting with other fellows. The other fellows were all industry trained developers with backgrounds in different departments of game development.
