Game Museum

Introduction

This project is part of the Visual Computing course at the University of Aveiro, developed in Unreal Engine 5 using Blueprints. It is a virtual museum with two rooms, each dedicated to a game that, in some way, proved to be impactful in the history of video games: Fortnite and Pokémon GO.

Project's Goals

• Apply the theoretical concepts learned in class to our project.

• Learn to use a completely new engine.

• Deepen our understanding of key concepts relevant to the context of our game:

  • Lighting: Realistic lighting simulates the interaction of light with surfaces and materials, essential for an immersive experience. Our project implements global illumination, dynamic shadows, and reflections to enhance scene realism.
  • Animations and Interactivity: Iconic characters in our museum are animated dynamically to avoid static models, enhancing realism and meeting the interactivity requirement of the project.
  • World Building: Detailed terrain, realistic textures, and dynamically animated elements (e.g., leaves in the wind) set the visual and emotional tone for each room in the museum.
  • Post-Processing: Visual effects like fog in the Fortnite room polish the aesthetic and establish the atmosphere, adding depth and mystery to the scene.
