Developed as part of a Final Year Dissertation, Bolt Game is a short playable prototype aiming to successfully combine character mobility and combat with accommodating level designs and structures.

​

Taking gameplay inspirations from Devil May Cry, Mirror's Edge and graphical aspects from The Unfinished Swan and Superhot, the project's initial build featured a short level demonstrating:

​

• Horizontal and vertical wall-running systems

• A basic combo stringing system utilizing instanced attack configurations

• Enemies that react to attacks and the environment

• An adaptable level structure featuring explorative gated areas with a "search and destroy" objective as the core means of progression.

​

Originally produced in Unreal Engine 4 and coded exclusively in blueprint, with fully self-made assets.

 

The project has since been ported to Unreal Engine 5 and is actively being developed further into a more expansive and "game worthy" product.
