Description

SMILE :) - is a first person co-op horror game that you can play with your friend, up to 4 players.

Personal Project

▶️ "SMILE :)" is a personal project of mine where I explore my passion for creating compelling experiences with use of my skill set in level design, quick 3d prototyping with use of Blender and lighting in UE5.

Pre-production

▶️ I always found multiplayer games to be very interesting as it also focuses on the social aspect of gaming, unlike single player games where the player interacts with the product aka, the game itself. With multiplayer games, there is an additional layer on top which I call the social layer, interacting with other players. Why is playing with friends and watching others play games so fun? Because with multiplayer games, the players themselves are able to make the fun.

I started with prototyping the core game mechanics in the game engine

Production

▶️ Creating avatars with Character Creator 4 | Using CC4, I was able to quickly create the character with a desired height and build using their library of morph presets.

By using their cloth fitting tool, I could modularly fit every clothing piece to the new model with minimal touch up needed for the weight painting. As a solo developer this tool is instrumental for me to be able to quickly create multiple characters without making them from scratch, saving me a lot of money and time.
