Like mortal combat or street fighter, where it’s one to one and view on the side, bright colors But you fight with more than one foe. It’s almost like turn based game where you have a small moment for every opponent. In the best tradition of Jackie Chan movies

Strategy game where some units are unique. They randomly appear across other mainly identical soldiers but they have personality and stories. Popups on the screen tell the story of how influential their actions to battle’s results. This makes a special bond between a player and these units. But then, almost on purpose, they die. Play this trick over and over, the player must understand that the war is a bloodshed and feel the pain. Special achievement if the player actually cares about them and reloads and tries to save them.

Animations

animations https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DN6B7rJ5Mps

found animations on mixamo and create a blueprint

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbgDaRo312k

I need a jump and double jump

But Mixamo models require root of the skeleton to be fixed (to avoid switching model from the place when the animation moves from one point)

https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.1/en-US/root-motion-in-unreal-engine/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gq8k5ZOBjww

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwKvyhQAM_k (t pose animation for the plugin, because plugin breaks materials) (retargeting)

retarget from manequinn to your skeleton https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oSQq7pKJtk

Another lessons about animations

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6L_8vAx-M0 (use a ref (and is valid) for the character blueprint, running jump )

But this is better than any YouTube tutorial https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.2/en-US/how-to-get-animation-variables-in-animation-blueprints-in-unreal-engine/
