Hello, Your game already has the foundation—I can focus on the parts that need to feel polished and believable. I can improve your existing horror RPG by redesigning the zombie appearance, fixing the locomotion so movement feels more natural, and implementing the door-unlock cinematic flow so the cutscene triggers correctly and returns seamlessly to gameplay afterward. I’ll handle: • Zombie model/appearance integration • More natural walking and animation transitions • Door unlock → cutscene trigger system • Smooth cutscene → gameplay return • Proper setup and debugging of the existing project • Testing to ensure the changes work reliably in-game I can work within your existing code/assets and avoid unnecessary changes to completed systems. I’ll also provide relevant horror/RPG development examples. Send the current project and let’s get these core gameplay moments polished. Best Regards, Sumit Kumar.

Hi, I like this project because you already have the core game, so the real value is fixing the rough edges without disrupting the existing systems. I’d first inspect the zombie rigs, animations, AI, and door logic. I can replace the zombie appearance, improve locomotion with proper blend spaces/animation transitions, then trigger the door cutscene through a clean Blueprint event and return the player to gameplay with state preserved. I’ve worked with Unreal character systems, animation blueprints, AI, Sequencer cutscenes, gameplay triggers, and existing-project debugging. A quick win would be fixing one zombie and one door flow first, then applying the same setup across the game. Are the current zombies using the standard UE mannequin skeleton, or a custom rig?

I can help properly set up and refine your existing first-person horror RPG for PC, focusing on the specific issues already identified. I can update the zombies’ visual appearance, improve their walking and movement so animations feel more natural, and implement a reliable door-unlock sequence that launches a cutscene before returning smoothly to gameplay. I’ll preserve your current systems while organizing the relevant setup for maintainability and avoiding interruptions to the player experience. My approach would include reviewing the current project structure, identifying the animation and state-management issues, configuring the door interaction and cinematic trigger, and testing transitions, collisions, player control, and scene continuity. I can also help ensure the changes fit the game’s narrative-driven horror atmosphere and existing combat and puzzle flow. I’m comfortable working with first-person gameplay, AI behavior, animation systems, interactive environments, and story-driven sequences. Relevant examples of horror, RPG, combat, puzzle, or cinematic game work can be shared for review. I look forward to helping turn the existing prototype into a smoother, more immersive experience.
