Hey there!
I wanted to share with you my several months of work on a project created in Unreal Engine 5. It was meant to be a project that would teach me a lot - how all the systems interact, how to create the basic elements that make up a game (menu, animations, graphics, optimization, and so on).
And thus, The Old West: Northwood demo was born. It's a walking simulator where players can explore an abandoned settlement in both summer and winter (selectable from the menu) under various weather conditions. When night falls, they can take out and light up their lantern. The game can be experienced from both first-person and third-person perspectives - you can freely switch between them during gameplay.
I paid a lot of attention to details that may ultimately go unnoticed by the player, but they cost me a lot of effort. A lesson for the future.
Anyway, you can find a more detailed description of this demo on the itch.io page at this link: https://stunningvanilla.itch.io/the-old-west-northwood-walking-simulator.
Below is the trailer I made a month ago and some screenshots from the game:
