I'm making my first ever indie game in Unreal Engine 5! The goal of this project is to create a fun, simple ARPG that allows you to create and customize a character, train and progress character skills, collect loot/gear for that character, and progress through the story and gameplay content. This project is HEAVILY inspired by Rise of Heroes, a freeware RPG game on a website called BYOND. This game brought me many hours in my formative years, and I want to pay it back by creating a fun game in its memory to share with you all!
