Dishonored Mechanic Recreation

This project is a recreation of the supernatural gameplay elements from the first Dishonored game, developed by Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda. It was completed in Unreal Engine 5.2-5.3 using blueprint scripting and C++ programming.

This project was designed and created from the ground up as my capstone assignment at Wichita State University.  It aims to showcase my growth at WSU and become a portfolio piece for my desired role in gameplay programming. The development time was 06/2023 - 04/2024.

Thank you all for checking out my team's work!
