A test game menu for a researched game design concept, created in Unreal Engine 5.

Overview

Valhalla: Bjorn Rising screenshot

This project was my first college project which required me to research and design a game concept, and then create a test menu for it in Unreal Engine 5. The game concept was based on Norse mythology, and I wanted to create a game that would immerse players in that world. The menu was designed to be simple and intuitive, while also showcasing the game's art style and atmosphere. I hand made all the artwork, animations and sound effects for the menu, and I also implemented the functionality using Blueprints in Unreal Engine 5. Overall, this project was a great learning experience for me, and it allowed me to develop my skills in game design, art, and programming.
