NightshadeHD

NightshadeHD is a 2DHD "remake" of my original game "Nightshade", built on Unreal Engine 5.

Made using T-Games' free jRPG Template as a starting point, I reworked the framework to work with 2D sprites, as well as expanding the template itself by developing custom features from scratch like status effects, limit breaks, a timing based input system for enhanced attacks, in-battle powerups, custom items with passive effects and a multi-phase boss fight.

This game was made by a team of four in a span of 45 days as a part of an Epic Games' sponsored game jam called Unreal Championship, a jam restricted to students from Latin-American universities. 

I was the main force behind the project, while the rest of the team handled most of the art side under my direction, including UI design, set-dressing, audio and music.

Main features include:

• Traditional jRPG mechanics
• Reactive input during battles
• Expanded and revamped story/lore
• Dialogue system + vendors
  
• Side quests
• Save system
