You Are Small And The Floor Is Lava - Student Game
This student project, *You Are Small And The Floor Is Lava*, is a platformer built using Unreal Engine 5 and C++ as part of a Gamedev.tv course. Designed as an early assignment, it showcases basic mechanics with moving obstacles and a unique twist inspired by classic Counter-Strike Rats maps. The game features a small protagonist navigating a dynamic environment where the floor is deadly lava, adding tension and challenge. Assets from the Unreal Marketplace, including the *Assetsville Town* and *Mannequins Asset Pack*, were used to create the world and characters. The project highlights the student’s growing skills in Unreal Engine and C++ programming, blending retro influences with modern tools. Simple yet engaging, it serves as a foundation for future, more complex student creations. This work reflects both technical learning and creative problem-solving in game development. It’s a solid example of how limited resources can spark imaginative ideas. The final product is a fun, minimalist experience worth exploring. This project demonstrates the potential of student-driven innovation.
