3D Pinball
Developed with Unreal Engine 4
3D Pinball is a throwback to arcade games, with various features and a metallic aesthetic to give it a realistic look.
Save Data and High Scores
With this project, I implemented a saving system that keeps track of high scores on the machine it's played on. After completing a game, players enter their name and see how they rank on the local leaderboard.
Mechanics
The player launches the ball with the space bar then uses the left and right control buttons to make the respective flippers move. Hit the ball against the white bumpers to score points and knock down the letters in the upper left section to double the points you receive. There is also a ramp created using a spline which leads the player's ball to a bumper. There are two speed boosts on the board, one leading out of the launch area, and one in the top left corner aiming for the ramp.
Visual Style
Using 3D meshes and metallic materials were beneficial to creating the realistic appearance of the game. A neon glowing board is also used for a retro display. Glass is placed on the top and sides to add to the realism of the cabinet game.
