Melanie Alvarado - Project #4 Proposal

[Melanie]

I would like to recreate the gameplay and mechanics of the 1976 Arcade version of Asteroids by Ed Logg in Unreal Engine 5.5.3. Along with the Player moving/shooting, this would include the 3 asteroid sizes, the two alien ships, and how the objects on one end of the screen end up on the other.

Working on doing and old game in UE5 is a great idea....but not Asteroids (too many tutorials online). Can you pick a different game that doesn't have the answers already online?

Good point. In that case, I also considered recreating the gameplay (especially the movement) of the 1984 Atari arcade game Tempest by Dave Theurer in UE5. Would this work? I didn't see many tutorials online while researching the gameplay.
