Overall this was the assignment I struggled with the most however I am still quite pleased with how my environment turned out in the end. I do think if I worked on it a bit more I would have been able to improve it quite significantly, but unfortunately the combination of all the bugs and errors I ran into, as well as the quite frequent crashes meant that not only did I have to take the extension, but I ended up needing even more time than that, so I do apologise for the late submission.
Personally I found unreal engine 5 to be rather unintuitive to myself, which surprised me quite a bit as it has a reputation of being very easy to get started with and in fact a lot of people praise it for being beginner friendly and very intuitive. Based purely off of my first experiences with each engine, I vastly prefer Unity to Unreal however that it most likely because of the sheer amount of bugs I ran into during my time working on this project. I will be returning to unreal in my own time to try get a bit more accustomed to it without the deadline and at my own pace.
As for the submission itself I felt I was able to adequately represent my theme and sub-theme in my environment piece, if I had chosen a different theme to go with it would be the one I was going to do initially, sci-fi with a corruption sub-theme. I do think it would be a challenge but perhaps I wouldn’t have ran into some of the obstacles I found myself stuck in this time around.
