Firehawk - Wildfire Firefighting

Play as an aerial firefighter and race against the clock to stop an out-of-control wildfire. Collect drones, save lives, and try your best to save the forest!

Firehawk was created for the Unreal Games Fellowship in 2024. For the fellowship we were challenged to create an original arcade game in Unreal Engine 5 in four weeks. 

Specific Unreal features in the game include:

• Gameplay flow and logic using Blueprint
• Environment generation using Procedual Content Generation
• Material graphs for gameplay
• Fire visual effects using Niagara particle system
• Basic AI behavior using AI controller class

ABOUT THIS PROJECT

Living in Canada, I was inspired by the very real threat of wildfire season and the latest research into new tactics and technologies in aerial firefighting. I hope this game offers an engaging look at a real-world challenge we face today. 

Firehawk is currently a prototype. If you encounter any issues with the game, please feel free to leave a comment below.  Thanks for playing!
