Mage's Guild

The purpose of this project is to experiment with character development in the Unreal Engine.

I want to create a game where you can level up individual skills and have it change a real world aesthetic.

For example, if you level up Herbology, you would have a growing patch that is either larger in size or produces more vegetation.

To Do List

Make Buildings

Now the environment has been blocked out, I need to create building exteriors in Blender, with an eye to making interiors for "points of interest" like shops or the homes of named characters.

NPCs and Animations

I plan to make it so non-playable characters can roam around the environment as they please. Only stopping to react to the player bumping into them or if they get attacked.

Skill Tree

To understand how to create changes based on character progression, I need to build a skill tree in Unreal. I will create a tree with 5 branches. Defence, Offence, Healing, Dark and Light abilities

Character Designs

Given that I am making a Mage's guild, I need to create a character that resembles a wizard / mage for the player to use. My plan is to use a cloth modifier for robes and provide the player with a staff.
