Week 9 Devlog: Bunker Midterm

For the past 3 weeks or so, we have been tasked with constructing an underground bunker to completion using modeling tools, outside assets, particles, sounds, materials, timelines, and lighting. Although I built more rooms than what was required, I still definitely didn't spend as much time as I would have liked to on this, but that's life.

The bunker consists of the entry room, the hall/maintenance room, the rec room, the bedroom, and the restroom. I originally wanted to have some sort of storage closet, kitchen area, and another entry room that went upstairs, but I scrapped these due to time.

It was definitely weird relying on modeling tools for the walls/floors/ceilings, as I'm used to using modular assets, but it's been fun trying to make it work nicely. Oh, and apologies for the low quality video, my laptop doesn't run Unreal very well past Low scaling, and I have to record the editor itself and crop it rather than record a standalone window, else I'll get maybe 5-8 fps.

For sound, I used the following:
