# Projet Final Unreal — Thesis Project
**College LaSalle | Game Development Thesis**

## About
A proof of concept action game developed in Unreal Engine 5 as a thesis project. The game was designed as a hybrid between a **souls-like boss encounter** and a **third-person shooter**, though the project remained in a prototype state due to time constraints.

## Built With
- Unreal Engine 5.1.1
- Git + Git LFS

## Project State
This project is a **work in progress / prototype**. The following reflects what was completed at the time of submission:

- ✅ AI system architecture (behavior trees, perception, stat structs/enums)
- ✅ One fully implemented boss (main boss)
- ✅ Enemy AI framework
- ✅ Somewhat playable map
- ❌ Combat animations (not implemented due to time constraints)
- ❌ Animal AI (developed but not used in the final build)
- ⚠️ Shooter mechanics (partially implemented)

## Setup
1. Clone the repository
2. Ensure Git LFS is installed: `git lfs install`
3. Pull LFS objects: `git lfs pull`
4. Open `ProjetFinalUnreal.uproject` in Unreal Engine 5.1.1
