“Headless Honcho is a first person beat ’em up game where you play as Honcho who has tragically lost his head. Desperate to get any replacement, he decides to locate and procure one… disregarding the wellbeing of any unfortunate people that get in the way. Or maybe you’re just a very angry headless robot. We don’t know.”

This solo project was developed off-an-on between lectures for the class IM 491 (Introduction to Unreal Engine) as a way for me to learn Unreal, Blueprints, and a bit of practical usage of C++. I learned many things, including post-processing VFX, Niagara, Montages, Animation Blueprints, Ragdoll Physics, Widgets, and much more.

I learned usage of optimizing the game with Unreal and new tools like Git LFS as well as paced myself, refreshing my knowledge of Kanban and task management.

Note: You are able to kick doors into enemies. If you hit just right, it will insta-kill the enemy. Pretty sick.
