Description

Computer Shop Simulator is a game about fixing computers from customers, who may be slightly less computer literate. Quash viruses, repair damaged parts and fight against Blue Screens of Deaths in order to make a computer shop with reputation.

I used this as a way to teach myself game development via Unreal Engine 4 blueprints. These allow a low-code way of creating games, with what amounts of a drag & drop interface. The game was heavily inspired by other games in the genre, such as Hardware Engineers.

The game received over 15 updates of varying sizes, introducing new gameplay elements and virtual operating systems to fix!
