The SCP:Unsight Whispers game is born from Scream Jam 2023 promoted by Itch.io during the month of October. Developed in Unreal Engine 5 and carried out during 7 days of event by a group of 14 professionals from the video game industry who did not previously know each other. Among the different expertises we had Gameplay Programmers, Game Artists, Game Designers, Game Producer, Sound Designers, Animators and Musicians. Personally, what I take from this project is to have met extraordinary people and have enjoyed such experience, as well as having developed a video game in Unreal Engine 5. Furthermore, it provided me some time to learn features and to prove myself of what I am capable of in a short period of time.
In terms of technical apprenticeship, I have become proficient in Behaviour Trees with Custom Tasks, Custom Decorators and Custom Services, and got grasps on AI Perception and its different types. Moreover, I used Animation Montages and Blend Animations for both Enemies and Tiny, including Custom AnimNotifies and Custom AnimNotifyStates.
