Summary of What I Did This Week

This week we started production of the game itself with me beginning to code the base elements such as the movement, a prototype of a save system and began to work with Unreal Engine's UI system through widget Blueprints to create a main menu. This week was a good learning opportunity as I had never experimented with the widgets or a save/load system before, meaning that I had to learn both for this project.

Progress Made on the Group Project

My team has made quite a good amount of progress with the game thus far, with my 3D artists completing ​models for a machete, a shotgun, pickaxes of different tier pickaxes, a minecart, the start of a player model and a Cattleman hat. Alongside this, another teammate began to greybox the level design.

Issues or Challenges Faced

One major issues that we faced last week would be one of my teammates being absent for 2 of the 3 days that we have together which caused us to face some delays with some models.

How I Solved or Approached These Issues

In order to counter-act this delay, my teammate decided to work on some models at home such as some rail tracks
