Limitless Runner - Published Steam Game

My first published game featuring infinite procedural generation and basic animation systems. Developed a simple tile-spawning algorithm that continuously generates 5 platform types using Blueprint visual scripting and basic object pooling techniques.

Published on Steam 5 Platform Types 12 Animation States Blueprint-Based

What I Learned:

Basic procedural generation using Blueprint visual scripting
Simple animation systems for character movement mechanics
Fundamental power-up system implementation
Object pooling concepts for performance
Steam publishing process and project management
