Unreal Engine 5.6 Blueprint Demo

A UE5.6 Blueprint demo featuring key-door mechanics, moving platforms, health and damage systems, dynamic UI widgets, power-up collectibles, actor communication logic, level transitions, a main menu, and Niagara particle experiments for enhanced gameplay and visual polish.

This project is a gameplay prototype built entirely in Blueprints using Unreal Engine 5.6, showcasing core mechanics and interactive systems commonly used in action-adventure and puzzle games. It demonstrates a variety of gameplay features, UI elements, and actor communication techniques.

Features

• 🔑 Key & Door System
  Players collect color-coded keys to unlock matching doors, introducing a gating mechanic for level progression.

• 🛠️ Moving Platforms
  Dynamic platforms follow predefined paths, enabling traversal across gaps and adding timing-based challenges.

• ❤️ Player Damage & Health System
  Hazards reduce player health on contact, with a responsive UI health bar for real-time feedback.

• 🧩 On-Screen Widgets
  Informative UI elements notify players when keys are acquired, enhancing clarity and immersion.

• ⚡ Power-Up Collectibles
  Two power-ups are available: one boosts movement speed, the other increases jump height—encouraging exploration and temporary advantages.

• 🔄 Blueprint Actor Communication
  A physics-based actor can be moved by the player. When placed in a designated field actor, it triggers the deactivation of a blocking actor.

• 🎮 Main Menu System
  A fully functional main menu allows players to start or quit the game, providing a complete user experience.

• 🚪 Level Transition Actor
  Seamless transitions between levels support multi-stage gameplay and progression.

• ✨ Niagara Particle System Experiments
  Visual effects enhance environmental storytelling and gameplay feedback.
