'Project Dumpling' was a personal research and development project with the aim of creating a framework for a third-person resource gathering game in Unreal Engine 4.

​

My goals in this project were:

- to create character and animation blueprints that allows 8 axis movement i.e. a different animation for each direction.

- to create 'soft body' animations using vertex deformations i.e. morph targets.

-to have the character increase in size and mass after eating resouces.

The video below shows my results after 2-3 weeks of work. A download file containing project files and notes is available at the bottom of the page.
