GLOWCOMA - a story of a Bulgarian FPS
summary
A Bulgarian singleplayer FPS built in Unreal Engine 4 sets a short first episode at about 45 minutes inside a modeled Vratsa with quests, doors, items and an elevator escape ending. Development spans roughly three years as a hobby, using Unreal Store assets and custom models, selling on Steam but short and sometimes torrented. Notable systems: enemies with procedural creature morphs and limb dismemberment that change behavior, swimming AI, a scripted boss encounter, and a planned followup that expands to handcrafted open world and LOD workflows.
