Upgrade. Customize. Hunt.
​
Built entirely by myself in Unreal Engine 4, Star Denizen is an immersive space simulator where you select procedural enemies and hunt them down in space. Complete with a skill tree system, the ability to customize your gunship and upgrade it, it provides a compelling progression for the player.
As you get stronger, so does the enemy, allowing for a gameplay loop were you upgrade your ship how you want it to be.
​
Now for technical details.
As a sole programmer, many systems were built, rebuilt and refactored over the time I have been developing this game (it currently is still in very much developmement). The following is an overview of the many things I made.
​
-
A full suite of Menu systems, including a Pause menu and a Cheats menu.

Included in the previous; a Settings menu with complete Keybinds, Graphics and Audio settings.
