Overview:
This project is primarily a Game Main Menu, offering a highly adaptable and engaging menu experience. The main menu is set in a spacious tent environment, complete with 50 props and 10 weapons to enhance its visual appeal. The main menu boasts dynamic camera movement as users transition between menu components, which can be controlled by using mouse clicks or intuitive keys (‘Q’ to go back, ‘E’ to move forward).
1) Play Settings:
Upon selecting “Play,” users are presented with three distinct options: “New Game,” “Continue,” and “Chapter Select.” Trigger points have been thoughtfully integrated to enable chapter selection, unlocking as specific chapters are completed. While in play mode, players can choose their loadout before embarking on their adventure, with the added functionality of cycling through stored weapons using keyboard keys 1, 2, 3, and 4.
2) Loadout System:
A highly adaptable loadout system allows users to effortlessly add or remove weapons. A comprehensive tutorial guides users on transforming static mesh assets into game-ready skeletal mesh assets. This system supports the creation of new loadouts with customized names, providing a choice of four weapon categories: rifle, pistol, melee weapon, and grenades. These loadouts can be saved, edited, or deleted, with scrollable options for viewing assigned formats.
3) Character Selection:
Players can choose between two distinct characters and personalize their appearance. Options for clothing selection include choosing from pre-assigned upper body and lower body garments, as well as shoe selections.
4) Weapons:
The project boasts an arsenal of 4 distinct weapon types, including 2 rifles, 2 pistols, 3 melee weapons, and 3 types of grenades.
5) Settings Include:
Audio: Access the main audio settings.
Video: Customize resolution, screen mode, and set FPS limits.
Graphics: Adjust graphical settings, optimizing the visual experience from low to cinematic.
Key Binding (Button Configuration): Alter button and mouse configurations, including jump, movement, and sprint controls (the mentioned actions that can be set in key binding are elements that are already set for the characters).
*Default options are available for resetting configurations.

Character hairs are on Alembic format and are made using Maya software.
I’ve imported my Alembic file by using Groom Plugin.
