Beaconator is a First Person Shooter I developed as a part of my Game Design 1 class. The goal for this project was to design a open world with points of interest and AI. Since the focus was not on character mechanics, we used Unreal Engine's default first person shooter character. I chose to make my game about activating beacons because it gives the player a goal to work for at each point of interest, and having a beacon stretch into the sky is an interesting visual way to track your progress. To lean into this, I made the last point of interest a tower, so the player can look out over the world and see the other beacons from it.
