Arena
The Idea
Arena is the second 52 Hour project I have completed. The Theme for this project was Arena and was selected by random number selection. several ideas where considered for the how this could be built however ultimately a small scale arena combat game was settled upon. with a primary focus on the development of the combat, I also aimed to learn how the Gameplay Ability System within Unreal Engine functioned.
The Player takes control of a single character in an Arena and must fight off the opposing AI fighters using a set of attacks and abilities including light attacks, heavy attacks, stuns, parries, finishers, evading. the players goal is to last as long as possible against the enemies within the arena.
The primary focus of this project was to gain an understanding of the Gameplay Ability System, and build up somewhat robust AI and Combat Mechanics on a small scale.

My Contribution
This project is being solely designed by myself.
