Think Portal meets Baba is You, but with state itself as a manipulable object. * Technical Architecture The most interesting aspect of the game was that it was written in Verse, which is Epic Game's new programming language. Verse is a functional and object-oriented language. UEFN handled a lot of the 3d physics for us, but the build times were frustratingly slow. * Demo Play the game at (requires FortNite): https://www.fortnite.com/@checkpoints/0653-7115-6439?lang=en-US Watch the video demo: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nB9TJ1mhnERHwbuRvHwtPzFOttJXJyFU/view?usp=sharing * Collaborators This project was done in collaboration with - Sami Abobaker - Bruce Chen - Cameron Fox - Jameson Liu - Stefan Piscu!
