Ghost Game | Main Website

Project GitHub

If you want to check out the code for this project, visit the link below.

However, I will mention that I'm not actually using that GitHub for this project, I'm just dumping my 'Source' folder on there after each major update.

I keep the project on a privately hosted Perforce Server, since I prefer that over GitHub

Custom Camera and Controls

Blog #1:

The goal here was to emulate the controls and camera from the game Captain Toad Treasure Tracker and to build as much as I could in C++

Gameplay Ability System

Blog #2:

The second step of this project was to create a customized version of Unreal's GAS module that made it easy on me to quickly add and expand the project. Also I made a custom ghost model and material.

Spawning System

Blog #3:

This project is going to revolve around NPCs and needs a flexible and data driven spawning system. The third update was dedicated to building that system.

NPC Architecture

Blog #4:

This post covers my approach to setting up the, sort of 'back end' systems and features that will support my NPCs; things like the Perception Component, Sense Data, and a NPC Management Subsystem. Also, I'm switching over to Medium for these posts.

Patrol Routes

Blog #5:

We've got NPCs, lets get them moving and completing Tasks. Let's also tackle a way of procedurally generating Patrol Routes and needlessly frustrating Text Display issue in the Editor.
