The GameJam is over, and it was a great experience! It's time to debrief.
My goal was to continue my training to develop on Unreal engine, I am a 2D / 3D artist at the base.
The biggest challenges was the farming system, setting up a grid and being able to plant and harvest on it. I have redone it several times and the result is working but really not optimized!
I wanted a lot of exploration, with a lot of environments, luckily I have a lot of packs in my possession. Finally integrate NPCs to guide the story.
I also wanted to integrate a random dungeon system, unfortunately not currently functional as well as a fog of war on the worldmap in WIP currently.
For people who want to learn dev in Unreal like me, here are my references:
TUTORIALS
Ryan Laley: For pretty much everything! https://www.youtube.com/c/RyanLaley
Mathew Wadstein answers any question precisely. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOVfF7PfLbRdVEm0hONTrNQ
CrazyCatDev: Super tutorial to make the grid, unfortunately he does not hesitate for the moment. https://www.youtube.com/c/CrazyCatDev
PACKS
ESRPG: I started from this pack, which I know very well. I have prototyped several times on it. Good menu base and inventory system.

PolygonApocalypse: For 3D environments. If you want it, buy it from their official store. You will have access to the Unreal / Unity version as well as their original models. https://syntystore.com/products/polygon-apocalypse-pack
SimpleDungeonGenerator: Despite the fact that I couldn't get it to work, a really cool dungeon random generation system.

I am seriously thinking of continuing this project quietly.
Big thumbs up to everyone who managed to finish the GameJam and thanks to Firith Studio / Goodgis for hosting GAMJAM.
And I hope you had as much fun testing this game as I built it.
Please feel free to send me feedback!
The kiss to all!

Hello everyone !
First solo gamejam, I think I'm going on the perfect mix between StarDew x FallOut x LoveDeathAndRobot-Suits
Day and Light system + Harvest system + Autumn saison start + Indecision colorpalet
Stay Tunned !
