Moewenpick

Moewenpick is a solo-developed game by Sascha Wagentrotz for the Epic Megajam 2022. It was made with Unreal Engine 5.

The development timeframe was one week. 

Pitch

Play as a seagull, hunt fish and collect toys for your babies. 
You need to take care of three seagull nests with 12 baby chicks in total.
They're very hungry! If you don't feed them they will DIE! If all chicks are dead, the game is over!
So fly to the ocean and hunt for fish by "Nosediving" right when you are on top of them. Make use of your "Focus View" to find fish!
Bring fish regularly to every nest.

Every nest generates points for your personal seagull parenting score. The longer you keep the nests alive, the more points you will get.

Collect toys that are hidden in the world and bring them to a nest to increase its point generation multiplier. Don't forget to bring your chicks food while searching for toys! 

Used Assets

• I used a Rock that I sculpted two weeks ago for a personal art project. I changed the material though to bring it in line with the cliff.

• I used a cliff ZBrush source file from Quixel Megascans as a sculpting base to create my own version of a cliff. Texture and material were done from scratch.

• For all the foliage, except for the grass, I used Quixel Megascans atlases as a texture base. I changed those textures in Photoshop, made my own foliage models in Blender and also my own foliage materials. The grass was made procedurally with Blender Geometry Nodes.

• I used the Oceanology Marketplace Plugin for the ocean and the background ship.

• I used the Birds Marketplace Asset for the Seagull skeletal mesh, textures, material and the animations. The animation blueprint and some of the montages I built from scratch though.

• I used the Plane and Spaceship Controller Marketplace Asset as the foundation for the flying movement. I heavily modified it though and extended it with the nosedive feature.

• All the music and all the sound effects in the game are from Dynamedion (weloveindies.com) 

• The toy static mesh (locomotive) is from the Toys for Kids Marketplace Asset

• The blood VFX are from the FXVille Blood Marketplace Asset

• The water splash VFX is from the Niagara_WaterFoam_Splash_Pack Marketplace Asset

• The nest 3D model is an asset I bought from Turbosquid (alexkovalev). I touched up the texture so that fits more in the game though.

• The fish model is from the Beefy Bass Marketplace Asset

• The settings menu is from the Blueprint Settings Menu Marketplace Asset by Kekdot. I changed the font though.

• The seagull-, chick-, and fish- icons are also from a google image search. I forgot to write down who the creators were, unfortunately.

Everything else was made from scratch!
