Used Unreal Engine 5 to create a tower defense prototype during my free time. The game is as basic as a Tower Defense, I may expend the game into a roguelike if the design comes up nice. I developed the core mechanics of the game, including enemy pathfinding, tower placement, and wave management, while also implementing a simple UI to display player health and resources.
