This is a first-person shooter game developed in Unreal Engine 5.4.4, set in an abandoned industrial town. The player can freely roam the environment and shoot dynamically spawning targets across the factory and surrounding open areas.
The project utilizes Nanite virtualized geometry for high-detail models and Lumen for real-time global illumination and reflections.
The core gameplay is simple and immersive: the player spawns in a large abandoned factory map, equipped with a firearm, and can shoot at periodically spawning targets. The lighting is powered by Lumen for realistic indoor and outdoor ambiance. The level includes both tight industrial corridors and open urban environments, allowing free exploration and shooting practice.
This project demonstrates a standalone gameplay loop within a large environment, combining performance-heavy visual fidelity with interactive elements, suitable for experimentation and further development.
- First-person shooter with responsive controls.
- Dynamic target spawning system.
- Freeroam across a large, open urban-industrial environment.
- Fully lit using Lumen (real-time global illumination and reflections).
- All assets compatible with Nanite virtualized geometry.
- Structured as a single playable map (
mainmap.umap) within a clean project hierarchy.
