Well… I finished it.
This “game” (more like a single level) takes about 5 minutes to finish so feel free to check it and then blame me that it sucks ; )
It’s generic 3D platformer with lasers, spikes, doors, etc. Just basic stuff.
It’s free so download it, finish it, and send me an email that it sucks and you could do this better… Have fun! : )

Post-mortem:
This project was a testing ground for me. It showed me basic things I can do and achieve using Unreal Engine and I’m quite happy that I finished it even if I wanted to quit making it as it was… hard. Well, learning new skill is never easy but it’s really rewarding.
So. Most important things I learned from this project:
– I don’t need 8k textures. They take waaaay too much memory and they are not optimized. 2k is absolutely OK.
– It’s easy to make a huge mess with folders and files. It’s extremely hard to change later.
– Deleting unused stuff is a great way of reducing size of final product.
– Trial and error sometimes is a better way of learning than searching for outdated tutorials.
– Bright pixel art looks ugly when combined with realistic graphic.
