Race In A Volcano

Game Synopsis

Race In A Volcano is a solo project made in Unreal. Customize, then race against an NPC in a lava filled volcano for two laps to win. Ram the opponent's vehicle strategically to send them plummeting into lava, or press the big red button in the track to open up a shortcut. Win or lose, the volcano will claim its victims.

The gif below shows the shortcut and the button that activates it.

Experience

This was my first time working with Unreal Engine in 3D. This project was a mirror of the Unity 3D project, except we were required to code our own AI navigation from scratch. It was eye opening to see how simple it was to make, doing so raised my confidence and my understanding of coding which was obviously the intention. I still don't like visual coding with blueprints that much.

Falling into lava, as well as the placements screen.
