Cube Up

Jul 2020

As someone who’s always enjoyed playing games I tried experimenting and learning Unreal Engine to make a small game. After many tutorials and ideas I made a small fun platformer called Cube up with the goal to finish within a week. You play as a Cube, and try to make your way up, it’s simple! It can be played with a keyboard or controller so feel free to use anything and have some fun!

The main focus on this game was to make a fully polished finished product, even if it’s small, there’s fancy visuals, randomized properly tweaked sound effects, user feedback for almost any action, fun camera shakes and more while being a challenging and fun experience.

On a technical side, I used a foliage volume to customize generation of trees and a material instance setup to setup a theme template to work with the foilage and customize it per level with minial repeated work. Some of the meshes were made by me in Blender and some were marketplace assests, music tracks was made by my friend and I customized the sound effects using pitch randomization and free sound assests. The high scores are hosted on Azure by a .NET Api!
