You.Asset

Submission for Summer Horror Jam 2024, hosted by Panic’s Studios.

You wake up to a dark, unfinished room. 

Asset after asset appear, but none of it makes sense. And none of them work. Wait a second… is that the Unreal Editor default mannequin?

Escape the ominous, yet chaotic editor graveyard—without getting caught—and piece together what-in-the-asset-hell is going on.

A Note from the Team:

This is our team’s first project, and for many of us, our first foray into our respective disciplines for a game jam! Personally, at the start of this project I had no experience programming a video game (and had to dig through my memory of college courses in C++ and robotics). But in these three months, and thanks to a lot of available resources and YouTube tutorials, I’ve learned a ton about creating a video game from the ground up and am thrilled with the puzzles and mechanics implemented in You.Asset. I’m just really glad it all works (really though, if you run into any bugs, please feel free to send me a DM)!

I’m really proud of our team coming together, collaborating, and overcoming some of creative challenges and restrictions in the game jam! Enjoy what we make? Please consider donating to our team!
