Experimenting with Unreal

Issue with the Character

In today's class, we continued with our game design project. My teammates worked on their respective tasks while I began watching tutorials on everything about blueprints and their mechanics. I learned the functions of each variable such as the integer, float, boolean, and string. 

There was an issue where my character was moving on air and its body proportions were out of place. I requested Josh's help to find the root cause of the problem and he stated that it was just a simple cosmetic issue. My character wasn't within the capsule therefore, it was shown too big and distorted.

In terms of the group project, after almost a month of waiting for Janet and Mosad to complete the character design and environment design respectively, they are finally done today and we can begin creating the blueprints for the game. Neha decided that she would do the character animation whereas I would later work on importing the character into the environment.
