    Project Summary:
    Business Is Boomin'! is a 3D first-person physics-based action game created to strengthen my core game development skills, with a focus on physics simulations and collision detection. Guided by a structured game development course endorsed by Epic Games, this project builds on the foundational framework with original design choices tailored to my specific learning goals. Players wreak havoc by firing cannonballs within a warehouse, producing believable responses to impact.

    Primary Gameplay Loop:
    Players fire cannonballs within a destructible warehouse environment, using a limited ammunition supply to wreck their surroundings. Believable collisions and physics enhance the experience, as objects react dynamically to each shot.

    ⚙️ Technical

    Key Contributions (Detailed):

    • Scripted Cannon System:

      • Developed a responsive cannonball firing system using Blueprint, incorporating realistic projectile physics and limited ammunition to create strategic gameplay scenarios.

    • Designed Physics-Based Interactions:

      • Created a dynamic warehouse environment with physics-responsive objects that react convincingly to cannonball impact. Integrated collision and movement mechanics to support satisfying player-driven interaction and destruction.

    • Optimized Feedback Systems:

      • Implemented visual and audio cues triggered by gameplay actions to reinforce player feedback and heighten immersion during destruction sequences.
