Fluxblade Sandbox
A downloadable Sandbox for Windows
This is my first unreal engine game.
I have worked on this game independently for around 2 years, and I was unable to find a proper direction to shift it from a demo/prototype to a playable fps game. I made something upwards of 20-25 showcase videos over the years to document my progress.
I used to just open the engine to change the color scheme around and randomly change how the projectiles chained. This video is the peak form of the game. I recently opened the project to condense it and optimize it for Unreal Engine 5 and release on itch and found multiple problems. This made me understand how important it was to actually design on paper/website/notepad before implementing something.
Although I have improved a lot, I still think of what someone with more experience would think looking at my code. It is exciting how much more there is to learn.
I decided to put this project on hold and turn it into a sandbox demo.

This game was a huge learning process for me and I might come back and finish it later.

Windows defender needs a signature on the exe to "trust" it, when it pops up just click more info and run anyway. I managed to self sign it but it still is not enough.
This version is the Unreal Engine 5 Variant, so it might look different.
