Hello!
My name is Elian Aguilera and I am one the main coders on the project, as well pushing the art direction of the game! I was mainly in charge of the  pixelation for the game, the fishing mechanics, the Hud with UI for the player character, and the pick-up Inventory System!

This was a really huge undertaking and I believe I definitely learned a lot of Blueprints and how to best efficiently use them to set yourself up for success.

UE5 - Inventory System by Native Coder on Youtube really helped me set up my entire inventory blueprints and learned a lot from the 11 part series on his youtube channel! 

Here is the link for the game jam video that helped me create the fishing game blueprint: Unreal Engine 5 Live Class - Fishing Game (Game Jam 2024 Special)

Here is a link to the playlist and one of the videos: UET - Inventory System Playlist

This is the Data table I created for all of the Garbage within the game, with Row name, ID, Type, Display Name, Short Description, Quantity, Thumbnail, Large Image, Pickup, Static Pickup, and holdable settings.
