Robin Hood Run

For this project, I've been tasked with creating a piece of media to help promote Nottingham, and the way I'm going to do that is by creating a game about the Nottinghamshire legend, Robin Hood. Thinking about this, I decided to also make the game an endless runner, akin to games like Temple Run / Subway Surfers. As well as this I'm taking another stab at Android Unreal Engine development, as I believe an endless runner game is best suited to mobile as well as the Mobile market having a huge share in the gaming industry as a whole, taking up over 50% as of 14th September 2022 (source).


The game as a whole is very simple, but effective in how people interact with it. The prototype has a replayability factor to it that keeps people playing and I believe I can credit this to the "Personal Best" statistic shown at the end of every playthrough. I believe this encourages replayability as well as adding a social aspect to the game like when the world went mad for Flappy Bird back in 2013.

For this project I was responsible for:

• Ideation
• Research
• Visual Scripting (Blueprint)
• Modelling (Completely altering a Cowboy model from here to make the character look like Robin
Hood)

(This project is not finished, but it is in a playable state at the minute, if you'd like to download the latest build please click here, but obviously do bear in mind that things might be buggy / broken)
