MazeGame

MazeGame is a;

• Fast-Paced, simple, item-collecting game.
• "Point A --> Point B", escape the maze game
• Development Resource & Starter Kit for UDK
• Showcase/mini-game demonstration/ portfolio example

--- Extended description ---

MazeGame is not intended to reflect spectacular visual quality at this stage in development, nor should it be considered a completed product.

MazeGame is simply a fast-paced, item-collecting, simple, memory maze designed for people of all ages. It should aid memory-recall and provide a 10 minute break for players and devs.

It's specific aims were to create;

• (1) A playable Game
• ...a working game system
• (2) A Show Reel/ portfolio package
• ...a medium to showcase and transfer Unreal Engine based content to users.
• (3) A game development kit
• ... for users to create their own games and projects

It should be noted that despite a lack of focus on visual quality at this stage, the mechanics of MazeGame, coupled with the current level design, should have resulted in the projects aims. The balance between Speed/repetition is intended to promote fun not frustration. Too much variance in visuals or features would result in confusion, too much speed would result in snagging and bumps, i.e. poor flow. The reverse of these scenarios would also promote poor gameplay. Hopefully a good balance has been achieved.

Tight deadlines were set for the project, otherwise i would spend, as i have done in the past, 4 months making 1 map.

Remember;

Time limits are set for the mazes, the player is only intended to spend a small amount of time in the maze. It is unlikely you will complete the 5 minute maze the first time you play it, but if you are trying to escape the same level for the 100th time then something has gone wrong its design or the user is not paying attention.

- No payment is expected for the game, any payment required is due to "itchi.io" not allowing me to upload the game free.
