Exploring Projectiles- Choosing my ammo

In class we learned about three separate ways to create projectiles in Unreal Engine, Line Tracing, Spawn Projectile, and Spawn Physics actors, each tailored towards different types of weapons/other projectiles. For bullets, lasers and other more instantaneous-esc moment, line tracing proved to be the most effective, as it easily travels the fastest, but wouldn't be as accurate a projectile system as the projectile spawning system. The projectile spawn system is just how it sounds, pre-built with "fake physics" that are less taxing on the game engine, and allow for simplistic additions to how they interact with the game environment, other actors, etc; though it can be difficult to implement true physics with this projectile and the nature of it being pre-built means that once you break it, it becomes difficult to repair. The last actor is more very adaptable, but has to be built from the ground up, the "spawn physics actor" puts any SM through the physics engine

Megaman X Tutorial Level Analysis

Megaman X Tutorial Level Analysis Jarod Reizian Frank Anyone whose played a Megaman game before knows how well structured and paced the games are, showing small conflicts and minor threats prior to combining them in crazy scenarios to keep things interesting; while simultaneously testing the player’s ability. In classic Megaman fashion the level layout is designed to introduce small obstacles in controlled environments prior to combining threats in challenging manors. You start out in a flat zone with no enemies, allowing you to push buttons and run around on your own. The first flying enemies you encounter are not only slow, but start their attacks nearly off screen from you, giving you plenty of time to see that not only is stage destruction possible, (their attacks crush bits of the floor out) but also that certain enemies are only able to be hit while jumping. And the two mini-bosses crash down and take you to a chasm environment in which you cant get out using just running

Thumbnails for Arena "Game Commercial"

My general idea for this game would be to emulate a lot of the cheesy, early 90;s-2000's "epic" commercials, similar to Hot Wheels with showing just how AWESOME the product is.
