This is a quick run through, demonstrating a few aspects of the video game I am creating in the Unreal Engine. Highlights include the Forest Golem creature, complete with glowing green eyes and a basic following behavior. The game is moving fast simply to cover ground quickly, to illustrate the scope of the level. The landscape was also designed and built by me.
