Video Game Engines

 


Fortnite is a free to play battle royale that is available on every platform. This game also has many other game modes like racing, a guitar hero clone and creative mode. This game is a perfect for a game being powered by Unreal Engine. While Fortnite is not the most graphically intense game out there, it is the most recent popular game made by Epic Games, which also created Unreal Engine. The graphical use of Unreal Engine is shown in the shadows and textures that are shown throughout the game and its day night cycle. The power of the engine is also showcased in the creative mode as many of the stylized maps are higher quality versus the giant map that the main game takes place in.


Among Us is also a free to play game on mobile and on paid on PC. This is a game of social deduction. The innocent people need to find out who is killing the others before the ship is destroyed or everyone is killed. This game is a perfect example for unity because the game is 2d. Unity can do 3d, but is typically know for 2d. Another sign is that the game has the art style of a cartoon. The graphics are not the selling point of the game. Unity is not like Unreal where it is meant for a lot of graphics. These are signs of the game being made with Unity


Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 is a game where you play as a space marine from the universe of Warhammer 40K killing Tyranids and Chaos forces of the planet of Kadaku. There is a campaign mode, multiplayer mode and co-op mode. This game is made with the swarm engine which is developed by Saber Russia. What is unique about this game is the fact that the swarm engine is needed for what was achieved. The game has you fight hordes of enemy's, so much so that a specialized engine was needed. This is the same engine behind World War Z, another horde shooter. The swarm engine also allows for the game to have great visuals along side the hordes of enemy's.

Introduction To Me

  Hello, my name is Drew. I am an aspiring game developer and game enjoyer. My favorite games are Elden Ring, Halo: Reach and Battlefield. While I do not have one genre that I love and stay in, I do have one genre I don't like playing. More specifically I do not like turn based games. I am branching out and trying to play Expedition 33, Wasteland 3 and Gears Tactics. Though I do like action games that have a fight system that works like a rhythm. This would include the Space Marine games, Spiderman Batman. As always, a game with great story and great combat system, like Halo, Gears of War, and Soulsborne games. I have decided to enter the game development because I have been playing games since I was six and I just want to be apart of the process that has been so persistent in my life. Video games is a big part of my life and how I grew up and I want it continue when it was in a golden age and I want to be apart of it. The contribution that I want to add to the gaming industry is g...

White Knuckle Demo

  White Knuckle is a rogue-lite climbing game with elements of horror and puzzles. I played the demo,  but the game come out this year and developed by the indie studio Dark Machine Games. The game is only on PC. This games art style is inspired from retro pixel art like DOOM. The goal of the game is to get as high as you can within the campaign. That means there is a specific height to reach to, but I was not good enough to complete the campaign in the time that I played. Each run is short and different making the replay ability of the game very good.  The main mechanic of the game is grabbing and climbing. Your hands have stamina, so you cannot hold onto one place for very long. Each floor you reach have a different route for you to climb make you have to think fast to find the right route because you do have threat following you. There is a black liquid slowing rising as you go up making so that you cannot fall all the way down or you will have to restart. You are also...
