The Game

Robbie the Robot's Sidescrolling Adventure is a very short 2D platformer created in a single evening using Unreal assets and packaged using the Unreal Development Kit.

My Role

This solo project was completed within a single day. Using Unreal 3 assets, I built a 2D platformer using kismet and basic unrealScript, and packaged it into an installer using the then-new UDK.

What I Learned

This short project was an excercise I conceived so I could try out the new tools released with the Unreal Development Kit. Building on previous Unreal Editor knowledge, I learned how to constrain movement to a 2D plane, create a fixed camera, change the user's controls to work as a 2D platformer game, and remove the user's ability to shoot. I also learned how to package the game into a standalone executable using the Unreal Development Kit.

I also learned more about 2D level design and how to quickly iterate on a project within an extremely short amount of time.
