Nathan Denton - Ya Barred!

Ya Barred! (2024)

Ya Barred! Is a short bar simulator game which was developed using C++ programming within the Unreal Engine 5. The Project utilises the Smart Objects Plugin to help control AI Behaviours throughout the game. Ya barred! is a game project which was developed as part of my University Module "C++ for Game Designers" in which I was tasked with creating a game prototype that is built using C++ programming. The project required consideration for exposed variables which are needed for designers to efficiently adjust the games settings and contents.
