Week 1

Devlog: Week 1 - First Person Horror on Unreal Engine

• Created the project using the First Person Template with Blueprints.
• Set up player controls: WASD movement, mouse look, sprinting, and crouching.
• Implemented player movement: walking, sprinting, and a stamina system.
• Developed a system for picking up items (left mouse button).
• Created a magical crystal (lantern) with toggleable light using the F key.
• Prototyped an inventory system supporting 1-2 slots.
• Temporarily imported a medieval-themed asset pack from Fab (https://www.fab.com/listings/c13bd0dc-ac4d-4595-b284-f81386b2e6ef).
• Optimized asset textures using ImageResizUEr.
• Configured dynamic lighting: candles, dynamic shadows, and magical light.
• Added sound effects: ambient, footsteps, and environmental creaks.

These steps established a working prototype with core mechanics, interactivity, and a horror atmosphere, ready for further development.
