----- Overview -----
Student led 3D Platformer created in UE5 featuring customizable movement sets and abilities utilizing alternate character controllers. I am responsible for leading the project. I mostly work as the Lead Game Designer and Lead Programmer and was also responsible for a lot of the modeling, textures, and animations. I also have done most of the models, textures, VFX, and animations seen in the game up to this current point in development, but I have worked with a cumulative 15 total fantastic classmates on parts of this project in numerous occupational focuses. Together, our goal has been to create a game that we could be proud to show on our portfolios and that we could learn the process of making a game together! You can find everyone's contacts on the bottom of this description.

-----Synopsis---
After being pillaged by invaders, the protagonist "Jim" must jump and swing to save the island, the village, and his father. The game is still in very early stages, but it is gradually coming together!

----- Personal Thoughts -----
Jungle Jim is a project I started in July of 2023. This was my first project created in Unreal Engine after switching from Unity, and it served as a learning project as I continued my education in Unreal. This was also my first time really buckling down on creating the design of a game. In future devlogs, I will go more in depth about this. As of October 2024, I have spent nearly 900 hours working on this project so it has become very important to my life. There is still a long ways to go, but I'm hopeful for this game's future!
