Background
Radiance is a student projectĀ by Masters students from Birmingham City University created over the course of 3 months in Unreal Engine 4.27.2.Ā Ā A professional-level vertical slice, it was made by a joint team of programmers and artists from theĀ Video Game Development CourseĀ alongsideĀ designers and a producer fromĀ Video Game Enterprise, Production and Design.
The objective of the production was threefold:
Showcase our ability to create a fun product
Showcase the feasibility of the project; that we canĀ solve technical, artistic, design and production challenges that arise
Showcase the proficiency of the team in their respective disciplines
To that end, 90% of the game is written in C++ with the remaining 10% being done in Blueprints. In addition, the game features a combination of in-house and outsourced assets - The Main Hub and Laboratory being almost exclusively in-house.
Overall, it has been a blast to work on and I hope you enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed working on it!
