A downloadable project

I wanted to challenge myself to learn more about Unreal Engine blueprints with this project. In that way, I would say it has been a big success :) Currently it is possible to scan plant objects, locking players into an animation. That proved harder to implement than expected since I used the top-down template in UE4. That itself was a good learning experience, though! I had planned to add a targeting and shooting mechanic to this project as well, but I took a short break for the first time after I completed the scanning feature and realized that I was exhausted. After getting some rest it didn't seem that there would be enough time to implement this. It would have reused a lot of work from the scanning function, so there did not seem to be much more to learn for the effort. I haven't participated in a game jam this long before and it was starting to get a bit fun by the end of it :) It's a lot of work to do on my own, but it's nice to get practice with skills I don't often use.
