Unreal C++

I used C++ to expose functionality to blueprint in Unreal so our designers could use it to implement parts of the gameplay. I implemented our own custom editor UI in C++ to make it easier to work with our database by replacing hard coded ID values with dropdowns.

This project was the first Unreal project to me where I used C++ for the majority of the features I needed to implement. This was a challenge at first, as there was a lot I needed to learn about the Unreal C++ API. I learned a lot about features such as editor UI and delegates which I used to focus on making my work easy to use by designers.

Items

I worked on adding item functionality to Kari. The data for items, including item effect types are stored it in the database. It was my job to take this data and implement the functionality into Unreal.

This involved implementing features such as item dropping, item equipping and item usage. I implemented this using C++ and exposed events to blueprints. This allowed for easy customization and fast iteration of custom  item effects.
